SIXTY-FIFTH YEAR.

Papal Encyclicals Ignored "God did not ordain lower order of workers to keep leisured class" BEYING the command of the Holy Father to all the Bishops in the world to expound over and over again the Church's social teaching, Archbishop Hinsley, in his Advent pastoral letter, speaks plainly about the snobbishness and lack of unity among Catholics and about the culpable ignorance, among Catholics who ought to be leaders, of the principles which the Popes have been setting forth now for nearly 50 years. He utters a warning to those "whose Catholicism ought to be their proudest boast," but who "do not like to be known as Catholics." "No Catholic," he declares, "can regard with indifference a state of affairs in which work is considered as a commodity and the worker merely as a 'hand,' and not, as he primarily is, an immortal soul." His Grace does not admit that the fewness of Catholics in the country can justify lack of courage or apathy—"and in any case there is nothing to prevent us from setting our own house in order."

"Catholics should be the kindest employers THE DUKE OF NORFOLK, England's premier Duke, was at Vicand the best workers toria Station to welcome His Eminence "To-day more than ever one must be for God or against Him," declares Archbishop Hinsley. "In these days the followers of Cain, rebels against the God of Infinite Love, have organised their forces to slay, spiritually and even bodily, those who love Him. Consequently, the followers of Christ must oppose love to hate, and strive with greater ardour to emulate, for the sake of their brethren, the full self-sacrifice of Christ. In this exercise of fraternal charity indeed lie our own hopes of salvation. . . • "Now, no Christian can hesitate between Christ and Cain as leaders. We all claim that we follow the Way, the Truth and the Life, as a body closely united in mind, will and affections by our very profession. But what of our practice? . . . "Do we not allow certain accidental circumstances—whether of birth or position or culture or even wealth—to divide us and to obscure the remembrance that we are the brethren and the members of Christ? . . . "Classes there must be, but classes neither opposed nor exclusive. There are no castes in Christianity. "God who bade man earn his bread by the sweat of his brow did not thereby ordain that there should be a 'lower order' of workers for the purpose of keeping the 'leisured class' in comfort by their toil. . . . "No Catholic can regard with indifference a state of affairs in

which work is considered as a commodity and the worker merely as a 'hand,' and not, as he primarily is, an immortal soul. He must want those conditions to be

ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME HOME

C ARDINAL HINSLEY, f ollowing his elevation to the Cardinalate, returned to London on Sunday last from Rome, amid scenes of religious ardour and enthusiasm. When he landed on Folkestone quay. Cardinal Hinsley passed through the ranks of a guard of honour of Catholic societies, who knelt to receive his blessing. At Victoria station he was met by

the Duke of Norfolk, Catholic members of the House of Commons, and representatives of all branches of the laity. The welcoming cheers from the crowded platform were taken up in the streets, where 10,000 people had assembled. The Cardinal motored to Westminster Cathedral, escorted by police, boy scouts, and Irish pipers, and amid the tumultuous cheers, which drowned the Cathedral bells. As Cardinal Hinsley ascended the Cathedral steps. flowers were strewn in his path. Then, wearing his scarlet robes, he proceeded in procession to the High Altar, under a canopy and preceded by the Cardinal's hat, borne on a cushion. The Cardinal addressed a packed congregation by means of a microphone. after which a Te Deum was sung. Similar ovations greeted him when he motored to Archbishop's House, where thousands gathered, alternating the singing of "God Bless Our Pope" with shouting, "We want the Cardinal." Still wearing his robes, Cardinal Hinsley appeared on the balcony and repeated the Apostolic Blessing. the whole throng kneeling.

"Yes," he replied. "They were very nice. Why?" "Oh, nothing," she told him. "Only I suppose you'll have to clean your brown shoes with meat paste to-morrow!"

A lad was pushing a decorator's barrow loaded with sand and tools. It was obviously far 'too heavy for the boy, and a passer-by gave him some assistance. They arrived at the top of a long hill, and the stranger mopped his brow. "It's an outrage to send a lad like you out with that," he declared. "Why didn't you tell your employer it was too heavy for you?" ''I did," muttered the boy; "but he said, 'Go on, lazy. You're sure to find some fool on the way to give you a hand.'" Tommy was watching a football match for the first time. "Daddy," he said, "why are they booing that man?" "Because he threw a brick at the referee." "Yes, but he missed him." "That's why they're booing. him!" The Negro parson was preaching from the text: "And darkness fell upon the earth, and gross darkness on the minds of the people." "Now, brethren," he said, "dere may be some oh you who jest doan't know what gross darkness do mean. Well, Ah'll tell you. It's one hundred and forty-four times darker than dark." ar• "Yes," said the amateur sportsman, "I've had some strange experiences in my time, but none queerer than the one I had when I went wild-duck shooting in the north." "Go on," breathed his admiring audience. "Well, it was the coldest day I've ever struck. I came in sight of a huge lake, entirely frozen over. On its surface were thousands of wild duck, every one with its feet frozen into the ice. I took a shot at one— and blow me if the whole lot didn't fly up into the air in a body and take . the lake with them!" The police sergeant had been sent out to see that all dog owners in the suburb had licences for their pets. At one house he was met by the mistress, "Good morning, madam," said the sergeant. "I see you have two dogs. Have you licences for them both?" . "Oh, no, sergeant," she said. "They are far too young to have a licence. Only puppies, you know," The sergeant stroked the dogs. "Frisky little beggars!" he remarked. "Yes," answered the owner, unthinkingly, "no one would think they are mother and son, would they?" • The foreman of an electrical repair shop was interviewing a boy applying f or a job. "Do you know anything about electrical apparatus?" asked the foreman. "Yes, sir," was the prompt reply, "What is an armature?" asked the foreman. 'IA football player who doesn't get paid," replied the boy. • "Why are you standing over there throwing stones at that little boy?" said the indignant stranger. "I daren't go closer, ma'am," explained the young culprit. "He's got whooping cough." • The wife cut her husband some sandwiches for his lunch. She 'phoned him some time later. "Dear," she acid, "have you eaten any sandwiches?"

"Yes," said the boastful young man, my family can trace its ancestry further back than William the Conqueror." "I suppose," sneered his friend, "you'll be telling me your ancestors were with Noah in the Ark," "Certainly not," said the superior young man. "My people had a boat of their own." The two football teams were, going Fouls were at it hammer and tongs, frequent, but the referee seemed to shut his eyes to all infringements. "Who is the referee?" asked a spec tator. ask me," replied another, of them non-intervention can't talk to me like that, you Do you realise I'm related to aristocracy?" "Oh, have you got blue blood in your veins?" "I certainly have!" " Well, my fountain-pen's in a bad way. Would you mind giving it a transfusion?" The president of •.Super-Colossal Pictures entered the office. "Get out!" he howled at a young "While I'm boss man sitting there. I'll not tolerate any loafing around here," "I beg your pardon," said the young man, "but I don't work her I just came in looking for a position." "Then you're engaged," growled the president. "Oh, thank you, sir," beamed the young man, The president pointed to the door of,ain. "And now get out!" he roared. "You're fired!" The young man picked up his hat and turned to the president. "Do you mind," he inquired, ask one question?" "Well, what is it?" "Tell me, what kind of a job did I hold before I was fired?" The energetic traveller for a coffee firm believed in seizing every opportunity. Arriving at a vilage one day, he chatted with a lazy-looking indivi. dual sitting on the village green. "Ever drink coffee?" asked the tray. eller. "Ay," said the lazy " 'bout fifty cups a day." "Fifty cups a day!" echoed the amazed traveller. "Doesn't that keep you awake?" "Well," drawled the other, "it helps."

If there were anything wrong with the State system of education, the Protestant Churches would never have accepted it. There is no need for me to answer that. Let me quote two

The first is this: "With the suppression of all explicit Protestant influence upon the public school, and the wellnigh total disintegration of religious instruction in the hon , Protestantism is now at theijoint of discovering that its youth are adrift on the sea of secularism."

tell me, would

your

Anglican

clergyman have rejected Christ then and there, on the score that He was teaching a religion o f fear?

He says that the Catholic Church teaches the people that if they, do not go to Mass on Sundays they will go to hell. I have just been reading a book by an Anglican clergyman in which he explains that the Ten Commandments impose a grave upon moral obligation men. Speaking of the Commandment, "Remember that thou keep holy the seventh day,- he says that Anglicans sin against that Commandment if they do not fulfil public duties of worship by attending their church on Sundays. In another section of his book he declares that thoie who die in their sins, wilfully and finally impenitent, go to hell. Does your Anglican clergyman reject this? And if he will not join the Catholic Church because she teaches that there is a grave obligation to attend public worship on Sundays, why does he stay in the Anglican Church which permits the same doctrine to be taught by his fellow Anglican clergymen? Or, again. I would ask him whether he, as an Anglican clergyman, is prepared to teach his people that there is no obligation on them to attend Anglican services at all? Or, if there is an obligation, what kind of an obligation? And if it amounts to a grave obligation, and an Anglican deliberately refuses to fulfil it, what is his state And if he dies in before God? such a state, still quite unrepek ant. what becomes of him?

Budapest Eucharistic Congress Will

T is not without significance • and we may add, not without courage, that the Eucharistic Congress for 1938 has been fixed for Budapest. For Budapest has a history perhaps unparalleled by that of any other city in Europe, as the battleground of Christianity. Mohammedanism from the East, Calvinism and other heresies from the West, seem all to have fought their bitterest fights there or in its neighbourhood; even to-day its monuments have their meaning, not for Budapest alone, nor for Hungary only, but for the whole Christian world. And as in times gone by it stood as the outpost of Christian c ivilisation, so to-day no less, by a strange disposition of Providence, it stands as a kind of outpost facing the new pagan invader. We do not wonder that already, even in the past few years, - every attempt has been made to sap its strength and to undermine

Catholic Action in Liverpool Plan For Co-ordinating Existing Societies

II

HAVE been, this week, to Liverpool's Catholic Action Congress, which celebrates the end of the first year and the beginning of the second year of Catholic Action in Liverpool. There are people who complain that nothing is being done in England (the English have a curious trick of self-depreciation) : a good deal is certainly being done in Liverpool. I, and a good many other people, had mistaken the form of Liverpool Catholic Action. The f amous "plan," widely published some months ago, was taken for the. structure of Catholic Action. In fact, it represents only a method of co-ordinating the existing societies, and as such it is worth attention everywhere. Liverpool's Catholic Action is in the orthodox form: parish councils responsible to parish priests, deanery councils (the archdiocese is divided into a number of deaneries) responsible to the deans, the Central Board responsible to the Archbishop. During the last year Liverpool has been setting up this machinery (it is now practically complete) and forming its leaders, intellectually and morally, for their tasks. One cannot introduce Catholic Action overnight. People must first discover what Catholic Action is, and very few may have precise and exact knowledge of the precise and exact meanings of Catholic Action. It seems to me that Liverpool has made remarkable progress in this affair, the establishment of the right relations between the new organisations and the old. This inevitably requires great prudence, patience, understanding and tact. Especially tact. The Liverpool Plan seems to be effective in life as on paper. It is perhaps worthwhile to set it out once more. Catholic Action has three functions: To Preserve the Faith, to Extend the Faith, and SocialEconomic Action. Under these three heads Liverpool has grouped its existing societies. It may be thought, at first glance, that it has federated them. This is not so. Catholic Action is not a federation of existing societies, but a new organisation. In practice. the controlling committees are largely drawn from officers of the existing bodies, but they do not represent their societies: they are officers of Catholic Action. The majority of societies are r ecognised only as auxiliaries to C atholic Action. A few. by their character and the character of their work, are defined as constituent societies of Catholic Action. In the strictest technical s ense, this definition seems to me doubtful; but it eases and aids the working .. of the scheme . The Plan. This is how the societies are grouped: (1) Catholic Preservation (i.e., For preserving the Faith of Catholics and reclaiming lapsed Catholics). (a) Constituent Societies: Legion of Mary, Young Christian Workers ( English J.O.C.). (h) Auxiliary Societies: Doctrine Confraternity, Christian Children of Mary, Guild of St. Agnes, Guild ot St- Aloysius, Catholic Women's

Knights of St. Columba, C.W.L., Catholic Teachers' Association, Catholic Police Guild, Catenians, Catholic Needlework Guild, Catholic Land Association, Other Coitfraternities, Societies, and Guilds, in so far as they have a social apostolate at least as their indirect object.

It will be noticed that many societies, according to their functions, appear under more than one heading. In addition to these groups, there is a fourth, known as General Auxiliaries, and consisting of:

The Apostleship of Prayer, Blessed Sacrament Confraternity, Eucharistic League, League of Our Lady Immaculate, Third Orders, Lourdes' Pilgrimage Association with Brancardiers and Handmaids, the Altar Society, the Magnificat Society.

One must repeat that this structure is not the structure of Catholic Action. It is a plan which indicates to each organisation its proper relation with Catholic Action. MiOST REV. DR. DOWNEY— has moulded Liverpool's Catholic Action in the orthodox form.

* * It is actually- about eight months since Catholic Action became effective in Liverpool, and though there is much to be done,

much has been done. Catholic Action is not only a matter of organisation. . It is primarily an affair of the spirit, and its outward shape must be informed by inward life if the organisation is not to be so much -lead machinery. What tests are there of an intensifying inward life? There has been a marked rise in attendances at Sunday and weekday Mass and in Holy Communions, but especially notable is the development of the Retreat Movement, characteristic spiritual discipline of Catholic Action

everywhere. Since April, the Retreat Houses of the Archdiocese have been utterly unable to accommodate all the groups wishing to make retreats. The priests of one House told me that 3,000 workingmen have made Retreats in their one House these last eight months. There is new life, visibly working. But Catholic Action is not (though the error has been far too widespread) only a devotional movement. It is a social movement, seeking social ends. The Social Movement has two aspects: a study of the milieu, and the active work in the milieu; represented in Liverpool by the Catholic Social Guild, on the one hand, the Public Service Committee with its Social Service Bureaux, and the Legion of Mary on the other hand, together with the auxiliary societies in both cases.

The Catholic Social Guild grows astonishingly. In the city and suburban parishes it has eighteen weekly lecture-classes, and this month it opens a College of Social Studies in Scotland Road (heart of the working district), with courses in Elementary Economics, Industrial Psychology, Social Science, Social Science for Women, Industrial History. Ioral Philosophy, Social Ethics, Public Speaking. So people are prepared for the work. But the work will not wait, and the Social Service Bureau has been set up. Already it has served 2,000 people, in every sort of problem that our muddlea world presents; in domestic squabbles, in disputes between tenants and landlords, in dealings with Public Assistance Committees, Housing Committees, Unemployment Assistance Boards, and the like; in matters of insurance. work-men's compensation, pensions. It co-operates with the existing institutions .public and Catholic; with the St. Vincent de Paul Society and charitable services of all kinds. Moral cases it refers to the parish priests. Liverpool's large unemployment and the huge floating population. mostly derelict, require constant service. The Communists have been scoring because they have helped the poor in these matters. Now the Social Service Bureau and the the House of Hospitality at Wigan begin in Lancashire a great Catholic movement which may have, soon ,its Active Units in every town and parish. Lodging-House Apostolate. And then there is the intense, personal apostolate amongst the poor. There is the mission for coloured people, religious and community centre for nearly a thousand of other blood than ours. There is work like that which the Legion of Mary does (but what work is not the Legion's?) As an instance. the Legionaries visit every lodginghouse in Liverpool ("lodginghouse" has rather a special sense there), and they visit as friends. One Legionary is a lodginghouse champion ring-player. "You talk like one of our bloody selves." another was told. "I am one of our bloody selves." he said. That is the meaning of Catholic Action—that community of

b eginner in theology keep this principle ever before him. herwise, he may unwisely expect to find in the Church of the first century the same stage of doctrinal and liturgical development as that possessed by the Church to-day or ,on the other hand, he may incorrectly infer that with the passing of the ,centuries there has been an accretion to the body of doctrines committed by Christ and His Apostles to mankind as the word of God. Thirdly, it is advisable for the lay aspirant to the ranks of the theologians to specialise in so nie particular phase of Catholic doctrine. Of course, every one should have a general knowledge of all the chiet tenets of Ca holicism, but it is seldom possible for a lay person, in view of the obstacles mentioned above, t acquire a thorough grasp of al the tracts of either dogmatic or moral theology.

PATRONISE

Why a Catholic Cannot ha a Communist The following- is a translation from a "Little Catechism" composed by Saint Peter Canisius, S.J., when Europe was breaking away from the Faith four hundred years ago. As it helped then to save Europe, so to-day may it help to save Australia from God's newest enemy: 1. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, God the Father. Nothing is impossible for Him to do; no, nor hard even. He brought forth out of nothing both heaven and earth, and all things visible and invisible. All these, once produced, He continues to preserve and govern with sovereign wisdom. 2. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Godhead, Son Solebegotten of the Father in the beginning, and One in Substance with the Father, is Our Lord and Redeemer, Who brought us back when we were utterly lost. 3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary, God made Himself Man; for the Son came down from heaven and put on human nature; yet in such wondrous wise that, conceived without man by the power of the Holy Ghost, He was born o f the Spotless Virgin Mary. 4. Who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. God redeemed us; for the Son, in that same human nature which He had taken on—fur us and for all sinners, whom He was to ransom—suffered death, "Lamb without blemish" that He was, at the order of Pontius Pilate. He was crucified. He died on the Cross, and afterwards was buried. 5. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. Christ went down in soul to hell to set free the Patriarchs who were there. On the third day after His death He took up again His Body, and by His Own power restored Himself to life. 6. He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. When He had completed the task of redeeming us, Christ passed out of this world to the Father, rising of His Own power triumphant into heaven, where, above all created things, He is in the glory of the Father. 7. Whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. There shall be a last Day of Judgment, when Christ Jesus. visible once more and in human form, shall come down from heaven to pass judgment on good and wicked, rendering to every man according to his works. 8. I Believe in the Holy Ghost, The Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is God, One, True, and Everlasting. Reigning together with the Father and the Son, He is to be adored and praised as They are. 9. The Holy Catholic Church. the Communion of Saints, W e must believe four things about the Church :

OUR A DVERTISERS AND HELP YOUR OWN PAPER.

1. The Church is One, being in One Spirit of Christ Jesus; being one in belief, and in her teaching about Faith and the Sacraments; being one also in her Sole Head, Christ's Vicar and Saint Peter's Successor, who directs the whole Church. 2. The Church is Holy; for she is made holy by Christ, her Head and Spouse—to whom She is joined by Faith an th Sacraments—and by the Holy Ghost, Who is ever her Guide.

ST. PETER CANISIUS. Author of this "Little 'Catechism.'

3. The Church is Catholic or Universal; for, being establishc in all parts of the globe, she e braces all the faithful of ev age. 4. In this same Church is th Communion of Saints, a communion, not of those faithful only who live on earth, but of those who have put off flesh and blood and now reign in heaven and of those who in Purgato are making up for their sins b fore going to heaven. All the as it were members of one bod help one another by their corn mon good deeds, merits and pray ers, and share in. the efficacy o the -Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and of the Sacraments of the Church. 10. The Forgiveness of Sins, God's grace is ever present to all sinners, so that no one who perseveres in the Catholic Church and makes good use of her Sacraments needs ever despair of obtaining pardon for his sins. 11. The Resurrection of the Body. All who are dead shall live again on the Last Day for, clothed once more in human flesh, we shall all appear before Christ's tribunal to receive, each according to his works, reward or punishment. 12. And Life Everlasting. Amen. The reward of Christian Faith and Virtue is Eternal Happiness A fter this life there shall surely come another, of a very different sort—secure, happy, and without end—which Christ has destined for the obedient faithful.

Practices of the Penitentes. The Hermanos Penitentes are a society of men, who in atonement for sin, practice extraordinary mortifications, such as flagellation, carrying heavy crosses, and binding the body to a cross. These practices have prevailed in Colorado New Mexico, only from the beginning of the last c entury, and since 1890 have been more or less secret. The movement is now exclusive to men, and is not centrally controlled, but made up of independent local groups, each with its own officials, similar to those of most secret societies. Initiations are conducted during Holy -Week, when the aspirant is led to the council house

The last and crucial test is the inflictions of several incisions, in the shape of a cross, on the shoulders of the a spirants with a piece of flint. Public scourgings in processions, the dragging of heavy crosses and public "crucifixions" were practiced last century, but the Penitentes now confine them-

selves to secret scourgings, particularly on the death of a penitente or relative.

Origin and History. Flagellation was introduced into Latin America during the 16th. and 17th. centuries, but the organisation of flagellant societies is of comparatively recent origin. Some of these societies, though no longer public, still exist in a few isolated places. The new Mexican Penitentes would seem to have been an outgrowth of the Third Order of St. Francis, introduced by the Franciscans in the 17th. century. Their practices only became barbarous in the course of the last century. The Church's Attitude. When their practices reached their worst stage (1850-90), the Archbishop of Santa Fe ordered them in the name of the Church to abolish flagellation and the carrying of heavy crosses. As the society was then very strong among all classes, the ecclesiastical authorities were as lenient as possible. Hence the Archbishop at the same time sent to the different group leaders copies of the rules of the Third Order of St. Francis, and advised the Penitentes to reorganise in accordance with them. His orders went unheeded, and after vet an-

other attempt, the Archbishop ordered them to disband. As a result the societies were much weakened and further growth was prevented. The official action of the Church was taken by Pope Leo XIII., who regulated and restrained the practices of However, even the Penitentes. to-day in a few places the Penitentes continue their barbarous rites though, for the most part, in secret. Why Condemned? At different periods in the history of the Church there have arisen movements of excessive austerity such as the Flagellants. These were unhesitatingly suppressed by the Church, not because She did not approve the principle of exterior mortification, but because these zealots confused the real nature and purpose of penance, making it an end in itself, whereas it could only be a means to the better ordering of the spiritual life. Just as the Church has always regarded the sins of the mind as more serious than the sins of the flesh, so 'She has exalted interior mortification above corporal austerity. It is quite easy to realise the reason for this when one considers that the chief elements of moral endeavour are the human mind and will co-operating with the grace of God. It is therefore the spiritual faculties which paramountly need the purification of discipline, because once ordered, these will adequately control the aberrations of the flesh.

The above organisation's activities for 1937 were brought to a close on Monday evening, December 20, with the semi-annual general meeting, at which the following office-bearers were elected for the coming half-year: Vice. president, W. F. Roche; secretary, Miss S. Colleran: assistant secretary, A. McKivett: treasurer. L. Capehorn: w arden, C. Buck; committee. Misses M. Connolly, M. Smith and M. Whyte. The syllabus item for the evening was a mock conference hastily formed to hear the case of Haile Selassie v Benito Mussolini. W.

Sinners Who Think They Are Saints DISTORTIONS of MODERN MORALITY

THIRTEEN Our social structure must one day admit the fallacy of "business is business ;" it must judge its economic policies, not by their feasibility, but by their morality; and it must confess that economics and politics are but branches of moral theology and philosophy, i.e., that they can be sinful if they are in violation of the ultimate end of man. It must admit that the moral necessity of attaining the full perfection of man's personality circumscribes human action in the domestic, political, economic and religious spheres; that every act is a moral act, even a religious act; that nothing is excluded, whether it be the selling of a can of milk or of a great corporation.

"A Letter to One About to Lea the Church." This is the title of an excellent little pamphlet by Father D. A. Lord, S.J. It takes the form of a letter written in reply to one which a priest received from a young lady attending a non-Catholic College. Father Hall is the priest. He had warned his correspondent that to attend such an institution would result in the loss of her faith. Buz no notice was taken of his advice, and he was not surprised after some time to receive the letter in which the young lady told of tIt; intention to leave the Church. The letter contained many wellworn phrases which Father Hall could easily recognise as the jargon used at anti-Catholic lectures. The Church is spoken of as an institution characterist.d by "ridiculous superstition and tyThe Carannical didacticism." tholic faith was "demoded, outof-date, repressive, old-fashioned," and so on. Father Hall replies with ence to these tiresome re tions of thoughtless accus:. against the faith; and goes the trouble of pointing out aimless and unsatisfactory ar other ways of life, how vain. ciful, and irrational are all systems of philosophy which apostate from the Church nu consider as alternatives to t faith.

By William Hatfield. In this latest of Australian travel books, the author tells us how he Worked his passage to AdFlaide in his youth, and has spent the rest of his life finding Australia. \Vest Australians will feel that he has not found Western Australia in his scamper from the North to Perth and along the beaten West-East track to Adelaide. Nevertheless, the book is of absorbing interest where the author tells with youthful enthusiasm of his early days with cattle and horses in South and Central Australia and Western Queensland, and of subsequent visits into the heart of Austrakt and its North. A ustralian problems of population, development and defence are brighty and frankly discussed. The author would banish the idea that the white man cannot develop the tropical North. He insists that land development is Australia's first need.; there lies her wealth, not in 11er gold mines; and development means work, intensive work, not sitting down on large holdings and letting things practically look after themselves. Though some sections of "I Find Australia" read like cinematographic impressions serving their purpose to preserve continuity. the hook on the whole has a bright and adventurous lilt to it and gives much food for t hough t.—E.

SOCIAL CHAOS

Two very striking pronouncements on the social order have ccroe to hand during the week. The first is contained in Cardinal Hinsley's Advent Pastoral, and the second in a speech by President Roosevelt. The burthen of both is very similar—th e Papal Encyclicals have been ignored. The very same social evils against which Leo XIII. inveighed in "Rerum Novarum" are still with us, but are now greatly aggravated. Roosevelt calls on the Arrierican nation to co-operate in drafting corrective legislation against the "evils that flow from the undue concentration of economic power and unfair business practices." Cardinal Hinsley denounces a system wherein work is regarded as a commodity, and the worker merely as a "hand" and not, as he is primarily, an immortal soul. It is now almost half a century since Leo XIII. attackeu the growing menace of industrialised society, and nothing has been done. It is now less probable than ever that anything will be done. Men, in such a society, lose not only economic liberty, but even the spiritual freedom to desire it. • • • Two recent local happenings will serve to illustrate how closely our social system has advanced towards anarchy and how treacherously illusory is the returning prosperity about which politicians and trade "experts" wax enthusiastic. In the "West Australian" of a week ago appeared an article on the Bedaux System, which is an American method for the speeding-up of industry. Engineers with stop-watch and note-hook stand over each manual worker in a factory, and these observations are used to measure in terms of time and energy the work done. Finally, a formula is arrived at, and for each specific task in the factory a Bedaux unit is worked out. The competent employee is expected to do 60 suct units per hour, and this is the standard rate for which a basic rate of pay is given. The article in question outlined the basic ideas of the system and dispassionately discussed its advantages and defects. But a Christian or any mere human being, for that matter, cannot approach life as if he were not part of it. The ordinary man is bound to say that such things as the Bedaux system are the conceptions and practices of monsters. It is at least a tribute to the Christian tradition that its attempted introduction into America, England, and France has given rise to strikes and bitter hostility. But it is a terrible slur on modern governments that such evil suggestions can go unpunished by the full rigour of the law. • The other matter is nearer .home. During the week six relief workers were fined in Perth for being hungry. Admittedly one of their number is a pawn of the Communist Party, and used his plight merely as an instrument of propaganda. But that does not alter the fact that if the men were hungry, and no other means were available, they were perfectly entitled under the moral law to act as they did. The situation caused the Rev. George Tulloch to attack the Government in the Press, and the Premier saw fit to reply. It is very seldom that the Rev. Mr. Tulloch is right, hut here is the exceptional case. The Premier, instead of confining himself to the anomaly of dire need, endeavoured to construe Mr. Tulloch's letter as an attack upon the Labour Party. The truth is that the reverend gentleman (like ourselves, but very much later) is only concerned with the social order, and not with the puppets who strive to preserve it. We can see no cause for smugness or congratulation in the fact that the unemployed who rely on the charity of the Government now receive £3 8s 6d instead of £2 8s. Nor can we see cause for jubilation because the Government "is accepting responsibility for 6,307 men," as if it really wasn't the Government's responsibility. Incidentally, the Premier (lidn't mention that the sustenance men receive 7s. per head of family. The fact of the matter is that the Government will not face the issue. Will the Premier explain, for instance, why he permits 6,307 men to accept the political pittance, while big business is allowed to employ women and juniors? Why will not the Government force business interests to pay a living wage and to institute the principle of equal pay for the sexes. The Premier complains of "violent political propaganda," but if things continue as they are, he may have reason to complain of violent direct action. If governments will not clean out the Augean stable of capitalistic greed and individualism, then they fail in the first duty of government, i.e., the govern. They have no occasion for surprise if Communism and anarchy tend to arise and increase. Indeed Communism is the logical answer to an incurable capitalism. The ultimate truth is, of course, that the present system of industry cannot treat men as such and survive. However that may be. it is the business of government to find work for all and to see to it that employers recognise employees as human beings and treat them accordingly.

Russian Honour

- Whoever was hoaxed by the new Russian Constitution in general, and by the clauses relating to religious freedom in particular, Catholics were not among them. There is no reason to suppose that a nation which has foresworn belief in God will continue to adhere to natural morality except inadvertently through traditional influences. The "Times" Correspondent says that the Soviet Press is exulting over the craft of Stalin, who permitted the clergy to misread the paragraphs about religious liberty and were thus enticed into the open to their own destruction. The anti-God campaign is renewed with full vigour, but employs the worn-out "immorality" charges as a pretext. Somebody ought to tell Stalin that Hitler has worn this tactic thin. But the revival of persecution of religion in Russia will have embarrassing repercussions abroad. For instance, it seems to point to the failure of the United Front. It certainly illustrates that it was the sham that Catholics nailed it from the first. We remember with amusement how the local comrades held out the olive branch of religious toleration in the Town Hall, and the justice of the derision with which they were received. The revival of the anti-God front will, moreover, make certain English deans look even more foolish than they have done in the past. And, of course, it must illuminate the whole Spanish scene for any poor soul who has had doubts up to this last hour. The Church's doctrine is again vindicated. Catholicism and Communism .are totally incompatible. It is the very nature of the Red beast that he must rend the Christians.

Religious Holiday School at Toodyay

On Sunday last was brought to a successful close the "Bushies' " Sixty-five Toodyay. School, the parof parts all from hildren c ish—from Mundaring to Jennacubbine—were in attendance. On the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6) thirty of the smaller ones r eceived their first Holy Communion, and on Sunday last twentyseven of the older children were Confirmed by His Grace the A rchbishop, who travelled from A lbany to perform the ceremony. There was a huge crowd in the Church for this last occasion, as many of the children's parents, besides the local parishioners, were anxious to see this ceremony. In the morning His Grace celebrated Mass at 8 o'clock, at which the Bushies sang the Gregorian Missa de Angelis," and some of the boys served His Grace's Mass. After examining the children His Grace expressed his satisfaction at their knowledge, and complimented Rev. Dr. Goody and the Sisters of Mercy for their work of charity in giving these children the opportunity of being No instructed in their Faith. sacrifice was too great when the Faith of the children was at stake His Grace afterwards officiated at Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, for which the children supplied the music.

Miss Lorna Sydney-Smith RECORDS FROM VIENNA. Gramophone recordings of the singing of Miss Lorna SydneySmith, the young \Vest Australian artist, who is at present studying in Europe, were received recently from Vienna, where they were made under the supervision of her teacher, to show the home folk the progress she is making. It is obvious, writes "Fidelio" in the "West Australian," that Professor Leo Rosenek, with whom the Perth singer has been studying a number of operatic roles, as well as Lieder, would not have let these records go forth to expectant ears in Western Australia had he not been quite satisfied that even in the short period of five months or so his pupil had advanced and that the records would show that advance. "It was generally agreed by yesterday's audience that the professor's demonstration of confidence had been justified." Miss Sydney-Smith's Vienna recordings (with piano accompaniment) comprise two of Schttmann's songs, "Widmung" and "Ich grolle.nicht," and Wagner's "Dich theure Halle," from "Tannhauser," and "Einsam in truben Tagen," from "Lohengrin." The chief impression was of the increased fulness and ease of production of the voice, in particular the greater freedom and more musical quality in high notes, which, previously, tended a to tightness and hardness. little This —and the fine compass of the voice—were notably shown in "Ich grolle nicht," the vigorous and sustained high note just before the closing line being beautifully taken, following passages w hich largely exploited the singer's lowest register. Aside from these unmistakable indications of development of the organ itself, Miss Sydney -Smith's confident handling of the music interpre-. tatively commanded respect. It is likely that be heard by the the records will general public, by way of a broadcast programme.

Dr. Gilmartin, has received information from Rome_that the Right Rev. Mgr. Joseph A. Walsh, M.A., president of St. Jarlath's College, Tuam, has been appointed by the Holy See Titular-Bishop of Cela and Auxiliary Bishop of Tuam. Mgr. Walsh is 48 years old, and is a native of Westport, County Mayo. He was educated at St. .farlaih's and Maynooth Colleges, where he had a distinguished course. He became secretary to the present Archbishop in 1913. Administrator of Tuam in 1926, and President of St. Jarlath's in 1929. It was largely due to hk untiring energies that the great Catholic Truth Society Congress

last year was such a success. Mgr. Walsh has been a life-long supporter of the Gaelic revival, as befits a Western pastor, and has encouraged the playing of Gaelic games in the college. The news of his appointment has been received with the utmost satisfaction throughout the Archdiocese. Owing to the disturbed state of the world, the General of the Jesuits has called an urgent and e xtraordinary meeting of all Jesuit Provincials from every part of the world, to be held in Rome early in the year. Very Rev. Father Fahy, S.J., the Australian Provincial, will leave for Rome shortly. •

Japanese Archbishop of Tokyo His Excellency Msgr. John Alexis Chambon has been transferred from the Archiepiscopal See of Tokyo to the newly created Bishopric of Yokohama. His Excellency retains the personal title of Archbishop, and as a token of appreciation of his outstanding activity in Tokyo, the Holy Father has appointed him an Assistant at the Papal Throne. Father Peter Doi Tatsuo, of the Japanese secular clergy, is appointed Archbishop of Tokyo. His Excellency Msgr. Peter Doi Tatsuo was born at Sendai (Japan), in the diocese of the same name (formerly that of Hakodate) of a distinguished, but non-Christian family. He was baptised with his parents on Easter -Sunday, 1894. He is an ex-pupil of the Collegio Urbano of Propaganda Fide, and took the licentiate in Philosophy and Theology in Rome. He was ordained a priest in 1921 at the Trappist Monastery of Our Lady of the Beacon (Hakodate). He subsequently had care of souls and three years ago, when he was parish priest of Uakamatsa, he was called to the Apostolic Delegation at Tokyo and made private secretary to His Excellency, the Delegate. Msgr. Marella. In like manner at Sienhsien (Hopei, China) the position of Vicar Apostolic, which was vacant since the resignation over a year ago of the 73-year-old French Jesuit Bishop, Msgt. Henry Lecroart, is now fated by a Chinese Jesuit, Bishop-elect Francis Xavier Tchao. These two appointments show clearly that the policy of the Holy See is gradually to hand aver one territory after another to the native clergy- of these countries. This line of policy is in harmony with the Encyclical, ' Maximum Mud." in which it is pointed out that the Church of God is a universal Church and that hence it is not a thing foreign to any nation, in consequence of which there must he in every land priests belonging to that country who may guide their own countrymen along the path leading to eternal salvation. So also the different Religious Orders, after having first broken virgin soil, are reads- - in due course to entrust its cultivation to the native clergy. This, likewise, is in harmony with the Encyclical, "Rerum Ecclesiae," of the reigning Pontiff.

The greater number are no , All, however, are earnest Catholics. supporters and fervent admirers of the hospital. This is of itself significant.

Year as the new It is believed that the first priest in charge of Dardanup was a Benedictine, Prior Garrido. O.S.B. Perhaps the authorities of New Norcia could en. lighten us on this matter. In conclusion, let us hope that the holy faith which has increased in Dardanim for nearly a century will continue to prosper, and that Catholics of Darrlanup in the fit tare will be worthy of their glorious past. At the beginning everything was against them, now everything seems to favour them. Let us hope that whatever else they lose they shall never lose the faith, for which the forefathers had to endure so much.

Dumbleyung. The parishioners of Dumbleyung bade 'farewell to 1937 by attending a monster dance on New Year's eve. The successful organisers, the Misses D. Harding and M. Kissane, have received congratulations from far and wide upon Methinks that, this brilliant success. for a like function, is exceeds all previous records, Thanks to one and all. General sympathy is extended to Mrs. Harding and family upon the death in Perth recently of Mr. W. Ryan, of Melbourne, brother of Mrs. Mr. Ryan was on a holiHarding, day visit to this State and was about to return at the time of his death. Similarly also we sympathise with Mrs. A. Rankin, whose father, Mr. Catlett, passed away recently. R.I.P. Mr. and Mrs. J. Safe, mine host of the Dumbleyung Hotel, have migrated to their farming interests at Beverley, leaving the management of local affairs in the capable hands of Mr. and Mrs. J. Moss. Mr. and Mrs. Safe and family will be greatly missed from our congregation, but we expect to see them from time to time. We find it hard to forgive them for "getting away" with our "all-rounder," Mr. E. Close, who will be missed mostly from the choir. The Dumbleyung congregation is asked to note that there will be no Mass at that centre on January 23,

Sodalities. Last Sunday the Holy Name Society held its monthly Communion, and we are very pleased to say there was a ver'y large attendance present both at Communion and at the meeting in the e vening, when the annual election of officers and delegates to the Council for the ensuing 12 months took place, and a full report of the activities of the branch for the past 12 months was Rev. Father read by the secretary. Kearin thanked the president and officers for the very able and efficient manner in which they had carried out their duties, and expressed the hope that, although the branch had experienced a very successful year, he hoped it would even be eclisped in the coming year. To-morrow (Sunday) the Children of Mary will hold • their monthly Communion at the 7 o'clock Mass, and the meeting of the aspirants will take place at 4 p.m., and the Children of Mary will meet at 7 p.m. that evening. Next Sunday the juvenile branch of the Sacred Heart- Sodality will hold their monthly Communion at the 8.30 a.m. Mass, and their meeting takes place the Friday before at 3.30 p.m. Personal.

Twenty-Five Years a Priest Honouring Father Ubach, O.S.B. ( By REV. DONI WILLIAM, 0.S.13.) There was no breach of the Rule at New Norcia on December 21, 1937, in spite that monastic gravity temporarily gave way to gaiety, choir music to concert music, and Benedictine temperance became somewhat relaxed at dinner time by the serving of poultry and New Norcia sherry, both delicious, all this in honour of Rev. Father V. (Mach, whose 25th. anniversary of his ordination to the Priesthood occurred that day. A vase of fresh-cut roses graced his table in the refectory. The celebration, the concert at any rate, although of a familiar character, was meant to be a surprise to the person concerned. But the innocent monks forgot that the thousand sounding notes of their instruments and harmonious songs, while rehearsing, proclaimed the secret to the four winds. Indeed, evidence of the approaching day was loudly given by the cheerful orchestra, the clamorous cornet and the resonant grand pianoforte in the Monastery's music hall: and in such a prodigal excess was that evidence given as to make Father 'Mach himself exclaim with the brother of the prodigal son: "What these things meant." Here then were a score of monks betrayed but not betraying. Theirs was a sincere loyalty to a deserving brother 50 years old, enjoying the best of health, tall, strong and straight as an iron bar, suitable to his seemingly incongruous professions of priest and manager —they to him, and he to them —pious, humble and sensible to gratitude. His friendly circle, which is . a large one, has been made by the hands of opportunity and of his personality. It is one as large as the state of Western Australia.

and Nungaring, and on the northern one up to Wongan Hills arisl Dalwallinu, he is known as one of the pio. neering parish priests, who in the days ot the Great War was wont to cultivate a bushy ginger moustache and beard ,and whose means of conveyance were the old-fashioned horse and sulky, With such slow means of . transport as these, he caused, his horse to trot, in spite perhaps of fallacious advisers, into the remotest corners of his parish, then covering an area of more than 10,000 square miles. On one occasion, during these evangelical journeys, the horse and even the train failed to give help. But misadventures of this kind never affected Father Ubach's zeal. He flung his cargo on to his shoulders and w ent forth from the spot. I may say, as an "ox goeth to the slaughter." Foot by foot he approached the farm house of Mr. E. J. Pergande, eight miles south of Bencubbin. and panting as he truly was he still had the humour of exhibiting a piece of comedy by asking a "job" in the farm. Dubious of the character of the man, the good farmer, on recognising his own priest, satisfied his mirth by laughing long and heartily. Life of Prayer and Work. As to his connection with the business men of our capital city and of many more elsewhere in the State, Father Ubach, as manager of New Nor. cia, is the only priest in West Australia to hold the highest amount of correspondence with them. In fact, a person of his position cannot live so e xclusively the life of a contemplative so as to make prayer all his business. Even the most austere recluse believes in St. Paul's saying: "Yet that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural," or in Hamlet's man who was "to double business bound." To a Benedictine, St. Benerliet's Rule is a combination of the dual life —that of Had it not been Prayer and work, for this amicable combination of nature and spirit there never would have been at all in West Australia a Bishop Salvado.

Moore River Native Settlement Confirmation Administered by the Lord Abbot of New Norcia Sunday, January 9, was a day of days for the Catholic portion of natives catered for by the Government at the Moore River Settlement, near Mogumber, for on that day the Lord Abbot of New Norcia, Dr. Catalan, 0.S.B., administered there the Sacrament of Confirmation to no less than 42 candidates. It was an event of great importance to the Moore River natives, and everything was done by those concerned to make the occasion an unforgettable one. The Catholic natives at the Moore River Settlement fall under the jurisdiction of the Abbot of New Norcia, and ever since it was opened, some eighteen months ago, they have had the services of a chaplain from New Norcia. Regularly and unfailingly, a New Norcia monk has visited the Settlement once a month—and often in between—and attended assiduously to t he spiritual needs of Catholics there. The number of these at present reaches the respectable figure of 80. Several monks have served as chaplains to them, but it fell to the good fortune of the 15resent one—Very Rev. Father Wilfred, OS.B.—to be the host of the Lord Abbot and members of the Benedictine Community. on the greatest day his charges have ever seen at the Settlement. The preparation of so many candidates for the worthy reception of the Sacrament demanded a large amount of patient labour and some extra visits from the chaplain. Patience and zeal eventually succeeded, and with the very able assistance of Miss White. a Catholic member of the Settlement staff, Father Wilfred had everything in readiness for Sunday. Following arrangements, the Lord Abbot, accompanied by three other members of the Benedictine Community, left for the Settlement at 6.30 on Sunda s morning. Close on their heels followed the Mission truck conveying the native boys of St. Mary's Orphanage, New Norcia, who were to sing the MassWithout doubt, these care-free youngsters enjoyed the day most. Singing a Mass under the baton of their trainer, Father H. Ros, 0.S.B., is no work for them, and to be able to show their brethren of the Settlement how w ell they could do it was a thought that tickled their native pride. A fter an enjoyable trip in the cool morning breeze, the party arrived at their destination and were welcomed by the Captain and Catholics who were ready waiting by the hall, where the sacred ceremonies were to take place. A t 8 o'clock His Lordship began_HolY Mass, which was a "Missa fantaia,"" assisted by two of the monks. The hall presented an impressive picture. Never before had it been used to such advantage by the Catholic congregaThe candidates for Confirmution. tion were very neatly dressed and ,!id honour to the Settlement authorities.

Jack Shea's Success. West Perth can thank Jack Shea for its win over Fremantle. He bowled his slow, curly ones with great effect to secure 6 for 45, and had all the batsmen tied up. It is his best bowling success in first grade, and now that he has struck form with the ball, he should be a power of strength in all departments for Wests. It was evidently a day for "googly" experts, as "Tony,, Z imbulis captured 7 for 33 for North Perth against Claremont. Well Done, North-East. One never knows when N.E. Fremantle is going to pop up and spring a surprise. This it did when it defeated East Perth, the leaders, who up to last Saturday had not lost a match, though it had several close calls. North-East Fremantle is a happy band of players, who get r eal enjoyment out of the game, and it was pleasing to see them r ecord such a meritorious win On this side are the three Newman brothers, Harry, Fred and Len, and each did his bit to "bring home the bacon."

Sporting (Continued) Belloc's Pellucid Clarity Tennis Germany Wins. The triangular contest between America, Germany and Australia was won by Germany. The matches drew great crowds, and though somewhat interfered with by rain, may be written down as highly successful from the financial viewpoint. The tennis was good in parts, but full credit must be given to Germany, whose pair rose to the occasion in fine style. We must all feel disappointed with the .showing of the Australians, and it shakes our confidence in them as serious contenders for the Davis Cup. Not'Withstanding this an Australian team should be sent abroad. Financially nothing can be lost, and the trip would make a \void's player out of young John Bromwich. With him should go A drian Quist, and the two best juniors, as shown by the Linton Cup matches and the Australian championships, which take place shortly in Adelaide.

"Nothing doing at present," barked Old Tom. He explained that his first requisite was a powerful forehand. He did not want him to come to the net just at that juncture of his coaching. Tom prevailed—and was quite r ight.

"Characters of The Reformation" Reviewed Hilaire Belloc, with his deep Catholic culture and his French name, is the Most "John Bull" of Englishmen. And yet in one way at least he is pre-eminently French. He is French in the clarity of his thought and literary expression. This it is that makes Belloc so readable. You do not have to be a historian to read' his latest historical work, "Characters of Reformathe tion." Belloc here presents his historical portraits and conclusions in a manner so clear and simple that you might almost say a child could read him with delight. Take, for instance, these sentences introducing Henry VIII: "Henry VII., the first Tudor King, and his wife had two sons The eldas well as daughters. est son was called Arthur, and the second Henry (who became Henry VIII.). Arthur was some years older than Henry and was the heir." Belloc is writing for those of us who are quite laymen as regards history. If that is our position we probably have conventional ideas about many of the big figures in the Reformation. One of the best features of this book are the paragraphs in which

Sam grinned and replied: " That's nothing, big boy, first time au hit you, you'se going to die with them on." Yes, "Chunky Sam" knocked "Big Jim" cold.

On Saturday, January 22, there will be an attractive meeting at Richmond Park, Fremantle. The programme comprises a Trotters' Handicap, of £80 (2.40 or better), one and three-quarter miles; Divided Handicap, of £420 ( five races, including a fast class for which the stake will be f 100), for horses handicapped 2.23 or better, one mile and five furlongs.

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

Belloc gives a compressed but complete summary of the "official history," or the common, Protestant portrait of a character. This he follows by a few calm, judicial criticisms that leave rather a sad ruin of this conventional fie, tion, and then by paragraphs in which he limns solidly and surely the main features of the reality. For instance, he gives us the common idea of Queen Elizabeth as the all-powerful Queen of a prospering England, and then makes the startling statement that the interest of Queen Elizabeth is mainly biographical because she was of very little effect upon the history of her time. He then proceeds to show that Elizabeth had really to play second fiddle practically all the time to William Cecil. Belloc never fails to make remarkably clear and definite the particular point which is of greatest importance to our understanding of the situation of the character he is dealing with. For example, of the position of Mary Stuart in relation to Elizabeth, he says: In the 16th. century all the morals of the time too-k- it for granted that the ruler of a monarchic country should be the senior representative of tht Blood Royal"—and that *is Mary Stuart, not the reigning Elizabeth. With wonderful simplicity and clarity, too, does this fna-,ter of a noble prose style sum up the significant elements in time story of each character. Of St. Thoma! More we are told: "He was born in the high and wealth:. legal world of Catholic England. . He inherited and stepped naturally into the greatest honours and legal position. He abandoned them all and died for the Faith." It is a high satisfaction in these days to have a h toriati whose consciousness is open to the possibility of supernatural intervention in the events of history. Belloc tells how in the matter of Henry VIII.'s divorce, the ruling Pope. Clement. sailed very close to the wind. He was the harrassed .and bullied English powers for a concession (Of course, the petition for a divorce was a petition for a declaration of nullity as regards Henry's marriage with CatherClement deine of A rragon.) layed aiC.:1 evaded for some time. 'He just might' have overstepped the limit and compromised the authority of the papacy to be the supreme judge in a moral case. lie was preserved from such a fatal weakness" (weakly though he did act) "by that Divine #feguarding of the Church Aich never fails. . . ." There is at least one cu misprint in the book : Pope Ins V. is given the title of "St. The Catholic will vastly eujoY this book. The non-Catholic should greatly profit by it. And without any doubt the cause of truth will, on the whole, be e,minently served by it.--B. J. B.

On the outskirts of a little hamlet, shrill cries reached His ears; they came from a group of ten lepers who lived together near They durst not apthis spot. proach closer, for any contact with them, even their passing breath was a contamination, yet so soon as they recognised the Saviour, they lifted up their voices crying all together: 'Jesus! Master! have pity upon us!" The Lord granted their hearts' desire: "Go," said He, "show yourselves to the priests." They obeyed instantly, and even as they were on their way to those who could rightfully certify to their cure, ;they felt a purer life-blood surging up within their veins, the hideous pallor was fast yielding to the swift pulse of health: their malady had disappeared! But what was it happened by the roadside, and what was the reason they showed such coldness of heart? Was it their own evil natures or some fear of the Jews, or was it the prompting of some foes of Jesus which held them back from Him? We do not know; all that the Gospel tells us is that of the ten lepers only one retraced his steps, with a loud voice glorifying God the while, and that this one was a Samaritan. A denizen of that border-land of Judea, He had found no difficulty in gaining admittance among these lepers of Israel; the wretched disease which was the common fate of such outcasts always levelled any barriers of ratik between fellowsufferers; but once the affliction was lifted away the barriers arose of themselves. So the nine Jews had left the Samaritan to throw himself alone at the feet of Jesus. Well accustomed as the Saviour was to all manner of ingratitude, this last token of heartlessness dismayed Him. "Were not the ten 'cleansed," He said: "where then are the nine o thers? There was none found who returned to give glory to God, save this stranger !" Only in this last-named soul could Jesus complete the work of grace; already He had touched the Samaritan's heart. He now made him one of His disciples. " Arise," He said to him, "and go your way; your faith has saved you."

Swiss Reject a Plan to Ban Masonry Referendum's Effect on Public Opinion.

The rejection by the Swiss electorate of the proposal to ban the Freemasons was first of all a check for the Nationalists. The other parties do not suffer one way or the other, either the Socialists and Radicals who opposed it, or the Catholics and Liberals who left their members freedom of action. The actual terms of the proposal for the amendment of the 56th. paragraph of the Constitutions were too wide in scope and badly drafted, so that the Swiss people were right in deciding that the proposal might be more of a danger than of a safeguard. The original paragraph asserted the right of citizens to form associations so long as their objects and policies were not illegal or dangerous. The amendment was to add that Freemasonic Societies, Masonic Lodges, and Odd Fellows, the Philanthropic Union, and affiliated and similar associations are forbidden in Switzerland. Danger to Catholic Orders. It will be seen that the Nationalists did not wish to change the paragraph of the Constitution, but to add certain exceptions. The exceptions, however, were too wide; and the phrasing left open an attack upon harmless organisations such as, for instance, the Catholic Orders, if an unsound Nationalism should take possession of Switzerland. Freemasonry can actually be condemned by the 56th. paragraph as it stands, if its aims and objects are shown to be illegal or dangerous.

Visitors to the Newcastle Eucharistic Congress next month \yin be agreeably surprised by the beautiful climatic conditions. The climate is considered the most temperate and exhilarating in the world. Even in midsummer, unbearable conditions are seldom experienced. If the day is oppressive, which is rare, there is always a beautiful cool night. Many thousands of visitors come every summer to Newcastle from inland scorched areas to get a cooler at Newcastle. It abounds in beautiful beaches rivalled only by Sydney, and it affords every facility for bathing. Congress visitors will get a wonderful surprise at Newcastle's beautiful climate, and will have the usual complaint of all visitors—their stay was only too short. It is estimated that the city's population will be doubled this summer by a record influx of visitors. Arrangements are being made for at least 50,000 visitors to the Eucharistic Congress.

Sterilisation No Remedy

A committee appointed by the Neurological Associamerican A tion to make a study of "eugeni. cal sterilisation" under the direction of Dr. Abraham Myerson, of B oston, has recently submitted a r eport, published by Macmillan. The shocking conditions recently discovered in a State institution for girls in Kansas make this book particularly timely. Sterilisation laws have been tnacted by a number of States under the belief that they were necessary to check the growth of insanity and of crime. It was argued that insanity was rapidly increasing, since the mentally diseased tended to reproduce themselves more rapidly than normal s tock. Mental disorders, it was held, were fundamentally hereditary; further, it was believed that many drawn to crime, because of their mental condition, would be improved by sterilisation even to the extent of being transformed into normal citizens. Accepted without serious investigation, these arguments were reflected in legislation. In some States, the legislation was rarely enforced. ,But Kansas was an exception.

Facts. committee finds no reason The to believe that these arguments "It rest upon scientific fact. really very difficult," the investigators report, "to prove that mental disease of any particular type More pais on the increase." tients are now confined to institutions simply because "recognition and committability are on theincrease, although not everywhere." With the trend to the cities, where institutions caring for these afflicted persons are found, and with better facilities for treating them now at the disposal of even small institutions, it is but natural that the number of persons known to be mentally afflicted should show an increase. For the commonly received opinion that the mentally defective have a high birth-rate, the committee can find no evidence. "We may safely state that insofar as the opportunity to propagate the race is concerned, those groups which are definitely known to be f eeble-minded and insane are, in large part, debarred by the fact that they do not marry." As for illegitimate births, the committee points out that as a source of increase in population, illegitimacy is negligible; furthermore, there is no reason to believe that persons of this kind are unusually fertile. The facts are, rather. that they tend to die out since they have smaller families, and since the mortality rate is higher. than among normal persons. Finally, as far as crime is concerned, the data on hand affords no evidence to support the marvellous tales of reform common among the Sunday-supplement s chool of scientists and sciolists. The truth of the matter seems to be that no case for sterilisation has been made out. Researches by qualified investigators both here and abroad, tend to show that as a check upon insanity s terilisation is not necessary, and that as a restraint upon crime and various forms of anti-social c onduct, its effects are negligible. It is to be hoped that the deplorable conditions discovered in the K ansas institution will put an end to legislation of this kind.

Dwyer-Flynn Wedding An extremely pretty wedding was solemnised at St. Joseph's Church, Subiaco, on the morning of December 30, when the bonds of Matrimony were tied between Miss Claire Flynn, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Flynn, of Subiaco, and Mr. Tom Dwyer, only son of Mrs. and the late Mr. T. Dwyer, also of Subiaco. The Nuptial Mass, celebrated by Rey. Father Doddy, took place in the presence of a large assembly of friends and well-wishers. At the Offertory Mrs J. McCann sweetly rendered Hoben's "Ave Maria," and during the signing of the register "Angels Guard Thee." To the strains of the Bridal March, the bride entered the church on the arm of her father, who escorted her to the altar, so artistically decorated with pink and white gladioli, The bride wore a handsome gown of ivory satin, f ashioned on classical lines. The softly draped bodice was cut in Empire fashion, and was finished with tiny covered buttons down the back. The bias cut skirt fell in shimmering folds to the ground, and at the back merged into a long, fan-shaped train Her billowy tulle veil, worn over the face on entering the church, was held in place by a tiny circlet of orange blossom, and she carried a long sheaf of regal crinum lilies. Preceding her down the aisle were her four attendants, Misses Esme Flynn and Shirley Brennan as bridesmaids, and Daisy Flynn and Maxine Bishop as 'flower girls. All wore similarly cut picture frocks of tulle, mounted on taffeta, the former two in a delicate shade of apple green, the latter in rose pink. The bouffant skirts were edged with tiny gathered frills, as were also the puffed sleeves, while softly swathed sashes of matching taffeta were tied in butterfly bows at the back. On their heads the bridesmaids wore circular shoulder-length veils of pink tulle, held in place with tiny haloes of pink flowers, and they carried old-world posies of shaded pink roses with streamers of tulle. The train-bearers added a touch of distinction with their Juliet caps of gathered tulle, and in lieu of posies carried unusual baskets of roses and ferns. The duties of best man were ably c arried out by Mr. Eddie Rampant, and Mr. Merton Flynn acted as groomsman. Later in the morning, a reception was held in St. Joseph's Hall, where the guests were received by the bride's mother, who chose for the occasion a handsome gown of Burgundy sheer c repe,' with a smart beige baku straw

Evolution of Nativity Play Modern Drama Came From The Mass (By HUGH McSHANE.)

NI

ANY people showing an interest in the modern r enaissance of Catholic drama are unaware of the fact that the seed of European drama was sown in the early services of the Mass. Classical drama, which is unlike our own, declined with the decline of the Empire, and its players became buffoons catering Their for a degenerate taste. mode of life became a source of scandal, and those entertainers, jongleurs, gestours, ropewalkers, etc., were denounced by the Church. The early Fathers realised, however, that entertainment was a necessity of social life and that the people would still find it among the travelling; more important still, they realised that dramatic representation appealed to the mind, through the eye, as the unfamiliar Latin tongue did not. Thus, in the early services of the Mass we find introduced alternating song, combined with a species of theatrical staging. Most of the information upon alternating song is to be found in French and German MSS., but the oldest European example extant is contained in the Concordia Regularis, composed about 959 A.D., which contains rules for divine services in the English monasteries. We find that during the service on Easter Eve an alternating song was to take place between three women walking (as though seeking) to the grave (of Jesus Christ) and an angel. The three women were three friars wearing white robes and carrying censers and the angel was another friar who wore an alb and bore a palm twig representing the tomb. In some places the race of St. Peter and St. John to the tomb was represented. Such simple staging appealed immensely to the simple-minded people of that age. At Christmas the Nativity was r epresented and the events leading up to it. At Easter, the Passion, Death and Resurrection. These mystery plays grew in popularity and length, and were played soon in the Church grounds to pass presently into the hands of the people. On Holy days the legendary incidents in the life of some saint or martyr were enacted. Such plays were called miracles. Moreover, such short mysteries and miracles were played-in the monasteries throughout the land by the scholars. The juniors enacted incidents in the life of St. Nicolas, patron of you-th. The seniors chose incidents in the life .of St. Catherine, who had

successfully upheld the Church against the arguments of pagan philosophers. Patronage of the Guilds. About 1262 the town guilds took the Mysteries and -Miracles into their own hands. At Christmas the Birth of Christ was represented, and the events which made it necessary, back to the Fall of Man. At Easter the Passion up to the Ascension; finally the Last Judgment, was brought in. Thus the whole history of man, from the Creation to the close was shown. After the institution of the Feast of Corpus -Christi, the two series were brought into one, and played upon that day. The whole series consisted of a number of plays, written often by different authors. Each guild chose the one which suited best, e.g., the goldsmiths undertook to perform the coming of the Magi; the carpenters the Cruci. fixion. Each play was given on a separate moveable stage. The great triumphal procession began at the abbey gates, and moved through t5e town, stopping at various points. Thus, when one event was played at one place, the great stage was moved on to another, and a second took its place, to carry on the story. So the people standing at any one spot appointed, saw before them a review of man's history from beginning to end. Many of these plays had comic interludes, as when,, for instance, Noah and his wife had a heated argument which came to blows before they entered the Ark. The Mystery and Miracle plays grew into the morality plays in which such characters as vice, goodness. confession, (death, or any human attribute, was personified. The influence of such characters upon each other and upon man was shown in rough plots or stories. From the Morality and the Interlude we pass to the regular drama. The same process of groWah is to be found throughout rui-6-pe, which, in those days, was united under the guidance of the Catholic Church. From the alternating song, and dramatic representation of the early Mass, we pass to the Mystery and Miracle plays of the churchyard. Thence to • the great cycle of plays on Corpus Christi, to the Morality and Interlude, and finally to the modern stage. .Modern drama requires revitalisation, and in the light of the present renaissance of Catholic Drama, it is hopeful and interestinz to remember that from the Mass came the Play.—"Irish W eekly."

"But," declares His Grace, "they do not attract from the general body adequate membership; and, in particular, those Catholics who by reason of their position and education are best fitted to be leaders among the laity do not always give to these organisations a support which is c ommensurate with their influence and opportunities." There are some "among the well-to-do and privileged sections of the Catholic 'body who show less zeal for the advancement of Christ's kingdom than their position demands, seeming rather to shrink from active association with their fellow Catholics of lesser degree. "It would appear that these, whose Catholicism ought to be their proudest boast, do not like to be known as Catholics: that they fear to be prominent in support of causes which the world despises; that they have not at heart the welfare of their weaker brethren. . . . "The possession of an immortal soul gives all God's creatures and children certain rights—the right to live as rational beings, the right to serve their Maker, the right to a certain measure of liberty and education, and so forth. "It is notorious, on the other hand, that under modern industrial conditions, to say nothing of the past, multitudes of workers cannot without great difficulty acquire or maintain these rights—a fact which denotes that the system is not animated by To remChristian principles. edy this should surely be the chief impulse of Christian charity, yet, as we have regretfully mentioned above, many amongst us show little sense of the evil and of their duty as Catholics to seek to remove it. "This ignorance, alas! cannot For nearbe called inculpable. ly fifty years the Popes have been urging us all to unite by study and action in doing our part to 're-building' the social s ystem, deprived for centuries of the control of the Faith and grown to maturity under a utilitarian and pseudo-liberal philosophy. "We well remember that the great charter of Christian Economics, Leo XIII.'s "Rerun Novarum" (1891), though hailed even by many non-Catholic eco-

nomists as a landmark in social science, aroused no permanent interest in England, although endorsed and elucidated by that great friend of the worker, our predecessor, Cardinal Manning. "Catholic capitalists ignored it, and thus Catholic workers lacked leaders to grasp and apply its teaching. "Ten years later the Pope tried, but in vain, to engage 'the cooperation of leading men,' telling them they were not free to choose whether they would take up the cause of the poor or not. 'It is,' he said, 'a matter of simple duty.'‘ "Again, during the turmoil of the War, Cardinal Bourne, in his celebrated pastoral 'The Nation's Crisis' (1918), called earnestly but fruitlessly upon his flock to grasp the opportunity of rebuilding civilisation on the Christian lines of justice and charity. . . . "Pius XI., as appears from the very sub-title of his great En cyclical 'Ouadragesimo Anno'—• on reconstructing the Social Order and perfecting it in accord-* ance with the precepts of the Gospel—holds that industrial abuses can and should be removed, esoffend which pecially those against the natural rights of Lab-

"Happily, here in our midst we have an excellent means of carrying out the Pope's injunction to the letter—an organisation called the Catholic Social Guild (of which His Grace the Archbishop of Birmingham is President), which was founded twenty-eight years ago in order, precisely, `to make known the teaching of the Church on social questions.' . . . "We commend the activities of the Catholic Social Guild to the attention of all Catholics alike. "Social reconstruction, as advocated by the Church, would not only banish immoral industrial practices but would also promote the material prosperity of all classes.-Accordingly, those 'leading men with wide opportunities of effectual aid,' of whom Leo XIII. spoke, will promote not only the cause of religion hut also of social welfare if they take. their stand upon wholly Christian principles in all business enterprises. . . , "The quarrel between Capital and Labour arises because either party pursues its interests irrespective of the other; if they shared each other's counsels as brothers, they would find that their common welfare was a higher good than anything they could achieve apart. . . .
