THE RECORD

BY REV. DR. R UMBLEmsz "Labour Daily" Dope s cuntinued From La',• \V ok.; F. G., Manly: I am perplexed and worried by the enclosed article from the "Labour Daily" of Nov. 19. There is no need to be, as we shall see. I feel sure that it cannot be correct. It is probably a correct report o f what Father Michael O'Flanagan had to say. I would not be surprised by anything such a man would say. But whilst MC report may be correct, the views expressed are repeatedly incorrect, and no Catholic could possibly subscribe to Father O'Flanaga'l vild tatements. To m) mind it is a serious matter, all I would like you to deal v. 1 th it as soon as possible. I is a serious matter for :Loy priest to publish such citteram.es so pposed to Catholic principles many points: and it is a serious matter for the -Labour Daily," so far as Catholics are concerned, to try to exploit the treachery of a renegade priest in the hope of impressing Catholics. Many others besides yourself have sent me copies of the precious article, and I ask all to accept this treatment of the subject as an answer to their enCampsie; quiries. So J.X.. "Baffled," Randwick : Ned. Belmore: "What of This," Hornsby; Cathcdic. Granville, I omit your covering letters. One other letter onlv can be quoted before I turn to the article.

Self-Condemned "Catholics should pay no more a ttention to the views of their priests in political affairs than to the views of any other man of equal political intelligem e. On purely political matters that is correct. And Catholics will therefore realise that, despite the "Labor Daily's" hopes, no attention is to be paid to the political views of Father O'Flanagan. "It is their duty to resent the introduction of political discussion into their Church." His own resented Bishop Father O'Flanagan's association with politics, and begged him to leave them to others, attending , to the duties for which he was ordained a priest. Why did not Father O'Flanagan put his own principles into practice? "I say to the priests," added Father O'Flanagan, "you are not bound to accept politics from your Bishops. If you don't speak boldly what is in y our mind upon political questions you degrade your priesthood." I'm afraid the poor man is slightly mental. This statement IS to justify his own political leehe forgets that he has t.uring. Just told Catholics to attach no Particular value to the political views of priests. He ineai . of

course. "other priests." Father O'Flanagan's views are not to be questioned. Insulting the Pope. "I say also to the Pope," said Father O'Flanagan, "you are not ,infallible in anything except purely religious doctrines." It does not follow that the Pope's judgment on world affairs is not just a little better-inform. ecl and more reliable than Father O'Flanagan 's. "You are no more likely to be right upon what is going on in Spain than the Cardinal Primate of Spain at Toledo." The Pope is much inure likely to be right than even the Cardinal Primate of Spain; and still more likely to be right than Father O'Flanagan. the renegade priest. who deserted his diocese. and has gone to America to lecture on behalf of Communism in "What chances have you, I say to the Pope, to hear the truth about Spain from those Cardinal friends of Mussolini who go into your little Vatican City State to tell you the the things it is suggested to them to tell you?" So Father O'Flanagan that to the Pope. By doing so. he not only forgets the respect and reverence due to the Pope from every Catholic ; he, also shows either abnormal ignorance of the sources of information on world affairs accessible to the Pope, or his complete disregard of truth in his blind and fanatical political zeal. A Lapse in Logic. If Catholics are on the side of Franco in Spain. they must also be on the side of Hitler in Austria. Seldom has a more absurd s entence been wrrcten. Catholice could 'very casilv agree with Franco's cause •,'.-itilout approving of Germai intervention on his behalf But. even ;f they did approve of German intervention in Spain. it would not follow that they must approve of Hitler's conduct hi Austria. If a man does a good action and a bad action, since when did approval of the good action become approval of the bad action also? As a matter of fact, hosts of Catholics who approve of Franco's cause do not approve of German interven!ion. And they approve of Franco's cause. not because they are on Franco's side, but because Franco is on their side in so far as he is defending' and protecting the religion they profess.

Now we see the drift of it all. religious field! - Every Catholic Father O'Flanagan. who refused knows by now that "Communisto do the work of God in his own tic politics" includes a war to ex,. parish at the bidding of his Bis- termination on religion.

A CHRISTMAS OF SORROW. But everywhere Christmas does not spell happiness and ceremonies. There is China, that tortured land, whose Christmas this year, at least, will be ushered in by misery and suffering. Not only in the great theatres of war, with huge Chinese and Japanese armies locked in desperate struggle. but in the great West of China. where Sovietised bandit armies plunder and destroy, there will be no 13ethlehem this C hristmas, but only Calvary.

REMEMBER EXILES AT CHRISTMAS. Our missionaries are everywhere In our own Australia, in the Far North and the North-West, in the dead heart of the continent, instruments of God's Grace for the conversion of Australia's native race; in the Torres Strait Islands, the Australian territories of New Guinea and the Solomons, scattered across the Pacific Ocean, in the long nights of the Arctic Circle, and the burning heat of the Sahara; tramping the trails, paddling the rivers, crossing the oceans of the world For Whom are they doing this? For God—and for you and for me. Because, after all, it is the common burden of Christianity that they are carrying. the spur that drives them on is the command that concerns all of us: "Go into the whole world, preach the Gospel to every creature." ,Are they not, therefore, something more than our friends? If we remember our friends, in kindness and in charity, at Christmas time, should not we remember those heroes of Christ in very justice? Many of them have been exiles for fifteen, twenty, thirty years. No doubt, their thoughts still fly homeward on Christmas Eve, to the memories that even years of labour and pain have not succeeded in dimming. Let our thoughts go out to them in return, let our sentiments be expressed by the verse of that poem of the Crusaders for Christ: "The traders go for treasure which the worm will take by stealth, And death will come to cheat them of the whole; But these win peace eternal, seeking out another wealth— They have guessed the blinding value of a soul."

In his Christ°logy. St. Thomas the how Aquinas points out Lord's Our m anifestation of birth was accomplished by suitimportant able means; and an reason he gives for their suitability is that in each case the manifestation is made through the are which medium of things themselves familiar to those to whom a revelation is made. The Shepherds, who were Jews, received the message of the Nativity from angelic ministration— through which their race had been accustomed at sundry times to have Divine mandates revealed; whereas the Eastern Princes who were conversant with the science of astronomy, and also its much reviled sister astrology. were enlightened by, it would seem the unaccountable appearance of an unknown star. The immediate response of these Magi to the knowledge they received is stimulating to the faith of rhristmas and non-Christjans: for, it was which clearly no mere speculation brought them to worship a new-born King in a far distant land: and so certain was their conviction that they were not disarmed by the abject poverty and lack of regal power in the Babe whose kingdom was "not of thi, world." SCIENCE LEADS TO GOD. As the faith of the Shepherds represents the simple faith of the unlettered, so the Eastern sages typify the faith of the more learned and critical: and as we so often witness in the history of the Church and of her children, their science led them to God, and their conclusions were a preamble to tia certainty of faith in God Incar. nate.

Both the star and the three Kings are subjects which have excited much interest; and with regard to the ccics`,ial premonitions, it is of singular importance to bear in mind that a threefold conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn—the third occurring in November—preceded the Birth of Our Lord, and also other signs mentioned by Eusebius. This however, does not lead us to suppose that no supernatural star hallowed Christ's Birth, for reasons which we shall presently coneider. But we may infer that the Magi being astrologers (not wizards in the unlawful sense condemned in Leviticus xix.) would be influenced by this celestial phenomenon. On the authority of Scripture, how. ever, it was actually a remarkablJ aar in the East—"His star," "stellam eius in Oriente"—which prompted the journey of the Wise Men and led them to adore the Divine Child. Wherefore, some authorities have considered this guiding star to be a special creature used by the Holy Spirit to draw the Magi, and in their train the Gentiles, to the recognition of the Son in the flesh; and the special operation of the Holy Ghost as the Mover of the human will, and the recorded historical facts would seem to support this opinion. "Novo virginis partu. novum sidus apparuit." St. Thomas, following Augustine and others, maintains that the star did not belong to the heavenly system as we know it, but that it was a stranger among the celestial bodies—even as the Virgin-birth was strange to the laws of nature

Shield Cricket: South Australia's S for 600 is their highest of all time. The 271 not out by 13adcock was a great innings, and once previously a South Australian has recorded that score in a Sheffield Shield game—C. E. Pellem ("Nip") v. Victoria, at Adelaide. 1919-20. The same total was compiled 1w Reg Duff Wales at Sydney, 1903-4, and Allan Kippax made 271 not out for New South Wales v. Victoria, 1925-6. Bradman's, 143 was his 83rd. in first class cricket, and he seems certain to be the firk Australian to compile a "century of centuries." Next to him is Warren Bardsley, with 57 centuries. F3radman's total of runs in first class cricket is 20,712e -easily a record for an Australian. Ellis, the young Queensland speedmerchant, who secured 5 for 104 in the match against Victoria. bids fair to go f urther in the game „if one may rely on the opinions of authoritative critiss who watched him in action against Victoria. He has greatly impressed and many are already namiqg him as the fast bowler Australia is looking for —.but that's too premature. We must w ait and see how he fares against other States. However, his debut has been very successful. Sheffield Shield games listed are: December 23-27: Victocia v. New South Wales. at Melbourne. December 24-28: South Australia v. Queensland. at Adelaide. Minor States Competition. Mr. Alf Randell, chairman of the W .A.C.A. Cricket Committee, will represent this State at the next meeting of the Board of Control. to be held in Sydney on December 29.

The bowling of The Rest was particularly accurate, but, from among those who remained at home, their emerged two whose bowling was unusually impressive—Eyres, of Western Australia, and Christ, the young Queensland left-hander. Although he was not assisted by the unfavourable cross wind. Eyres, a fast medium bowler, with a nice approach to the wicket, was able, even on the slow wicket, to make pace off the pitch. Unlike most bowlers, he does not swing the ball away, but makes it swing in from the off —a most dangerous ball for any batsman. I consider him one of the most promising bowlers of this type we have had in Australia for many years —an asset to any Australian side. Metropolitan Cricket Assoriatior. ''A' Grade: St. Patrick's Old Boys v. Subiaco C.Y.M.S. As was anticipated, St . Patrick's easily defeated Subiaco outright, thus retaining second place on the list. The main feature of the match was, of course, the sensational bowling of Les Sanguinetti, who captured eight for 15 in Subiaco's first innings. Swinging the ball very late both ways, he was practically unplayable, and at one stage captured four wickets in as many balls. Sanguinetti is probably the best new ball bowler in the Association. The batting was very even in both innings, Richards doing best with 29 and 10. Scores: St. Patrick's, 72 ( Richards 29, Gorman 14, Arrnfield 15. Clarke 5 for 36), and 146 ( Lemmone 11. J.

He was "the Sandiman" for Nathan Mann. and asked about Louis, he said: "I'll knock him out quicker than I did Mann. I can lick the world.

But he will not get to Louis before he faces this Lou Neva —and then if he wine over Nova breathes there the man who would not like to see "Twoton Tony" face the "Brown Bomber" in the magic square. To an Enquirer: During the week I was approached by a couple of fight fans, who differed over certain aspects of the BurnsJohnson fight. I have made research and as arranged herewith are the facts: Johnson and Burns met at Rush' cutter Bay Stadium. Boxing Day, 1908. The arangement was that Burns was to receive KO(X) win, lace or draw, and Johnson £1.200. The promoter was Hugh D. McIntosh, now in Lon-

"What." replied the novice. "if I'm going well now. I don't know what he getting if the other f ellow was winning." He threw in his own towel "I'll turn it up while I'm favourite." he said. don. and he was also referee. He did not run the fight on Burns' money, as one of the disputants claimed. 'McIntosh had done quite a lot of promoting, jncluding a Burns-Squires right before the title fight. Johnson won in the 14th. round, and it is not likely that Johnson "arranged for the tight to go 14 rounds for the sake of the pietures"—as was claimed by one of the pair that put the case to me. Johnson was 30 years of age when he deeated Burns and his last tight was egainst Homer Smith, at Montreal, in 1924, and Johnson won on points. Palmer Retires Again.

that should be against Ron Richards. Len Harvey. This is the B.E. champion whom they are hoping to get to come to Australia and fight Palmer (?) —or Ron Richards. He was born in Cornwall— as was "Ruby Bob" Fitzsimmons, of immortal memory—and is 31 years of age. He fights round about 12st. 71b., and among others has defeated Walter Neusel, Jack Petersen, Jock MoAvoy and Eddy Phillips. When he fought Petersen for the heavyweight championship of Great Britain there was an a ttendance of 100,000. Harvey is described as "a cagy, cute fling fighter," not spectacular in his work, and not a heavy puncher. but he has a wonderful defence, is a great ring general, and his gameness has never been questioned.

Swimming It has been announced that the New South Wales Swimming Association has completed arrangements for N7.- ()ski Nakama to visit Australia, and he was expected to arrive in Sydney on December 21. He is the champion or Hawaii, and has been coached and trained by Duke Kahanamoku. who. unfortunately, was unable to make the trip with him. The Duke visitectAustralia in 1915, when he was a world champion. He astounded Australians w ith his foot work. He used a swivellike action with his feet from the ankles. He won the 100 yards on that occasion at the Domain Baths in 33 4-5sec. Harry May. an Olympic champion himself, tells how when he visited the Duke's dressing room, he found the Duke rubbing resin on his hands and feet. This was done in order to get a better grip of the water with his propelling agents. The Duke competed in the Olympiad it Stockholm in 1912, and won the world's sprint championship. repeated this performance in 1920 at Antwerp. and gained second place to Johnnie Weismuller in 1924.

JERUSALEM PLAN TO REFOREST MOUNT OF OLIVES IS WELCOMED. Jerusalem. Among pans upon which Jerusalem's town-planning adviser comments in his report is one for terracing and reforesting the Mount of Olives. With olive woods, the sacred mount would be once again as it was in ancient times. Since the British occupation of Palestine there have been restrictions on building on this universally-revered hill, but it has been left in its barren state. Now, according to the general wish of the Christians, as well as the Jews and Moslems. there should be a common effort made in support of the Government's project.

It often occurs to me that Hitter or Mussolini, or all the dictheir by tators put together, works are not comparabk to the damage and destruction that is done to Catholic teachings and Catholic morals by the Press, and especially the week-end Press." said Father Augustine McGhee. 0.F.M.. at Manchester recently. Father McGhee's subject was "The Catholic Layman To-day." His argument was that the Cafaced tholic layman to-day is w ith an irreligious world and to combat it he must first be interested in his religion and in his surroundings, and must be informed if his action is to be effective. One of the methods to become informed is to read the Catholic Press. "May I ask you." said Father McGhee, "to take at least as much interest in the Catholic Press as for the most part is taken in the Sunday Press. "The Catholic newspapers are excellent for their purpose. do their work well, and are deserving of the support of the Catholic body. While they get a certain measure of support without question, they do not get anything like the support they should." Speaking of the persecution of the Jews in Germany, Father McGhee said that it was only a matter of time before the same treatment was meted out to Catholics.

Our Lady During the Christmas Season In the Christmas cycle, with w hich the Christian year opens, the soul breathes an atmosphere of joy, restrained at first, then overflowing, as the first five mysteries of the Rosary succeed each other.

Her fiat decided our salvation since it made the Incarnation possible. for God had made it depend on her consent T his explains why the holy VirOn. Mother of a Son who is truly Son of God, is always honoured next after God.

W hen the Greeks wrote in letters of gold beenath her statues the word Theotokos. Mother of God ,they gave the reason of this supUr - eminent ‘vorship. The Church in her prayer never fails to show us the Mother close to her divine Son. Both are included in the same decree of predestination. The Epistles for feasts of Our Blessed Lady apply to .Mary what is said of Wisdom in the Holy Scriptures. and Wisdom is the attribute of the Word of God.

While the sympathisers of the Spanish Reds are pouring out money and goods to help the "workers" of Spain, twenty millions in Britain have insufficient food because they lack the necessary money. This figure was quoted by Father Lewis Watt, S.J., on the authority of Sir John Boyd Orr. the economist, when he addressed the Bradford Christian Council on Social Questions recently. Father Watt's address was considered to be so well informed and constructive that, on the recommendation of an Anglican vicar, it was decided to have it printed and circulated to all the affiliated bodies of the Christian Council. It was pointed out in the lecture that four million people in England could afford only ten shillings per family on food, nine millions between ten and fifteen shillings, and nine millions from fifteen to thirty shillings.

Mary is assuredly the most heautiful trophy of Our Lord's victory over the devil. He became incarnate and died on the Cross in order, first of all, to preserve His Mother from original sin and to fill her with the fulness o f His grace. Her divine matertlity required that she should be preserved from original sin (Collect. December 8), that she should be ever a virgin. "virgo prius ac posterius," says the liturgy. and that she should be without even venial sin. It was fitting, too, that the body of the Mother of God should not be touched bv corruption. Jesus gained all these privileges for Mary. and, therefore, to sing the glories of the Mother is to glorify her Son, to Whom she owed Conversely, nothing can them. be more glorious for Mary than that honour should be given to her Son. The Church is well aware of this, and. consequently. she can find no better way of honouring the Blessed Virgin than to celebrate Holy Mass and to offer the precious Blood of Jesus in thanksgiving for God's graces to Mary. thus declaring that all her priviTo leges come from her Son. put into Mary's hands all the glory given to God by the Holy Sacrifice. and the graces it holds for men has been a favourite practice of the saints, for they knew that nothing would so delight her maternal heart as to glorify her Son and to do good to souls.

We owe an unpayable debt to Israel. At the fountain head of Christianity stands the radiant form of a Jewish Maiden—the Lily of Israel, the Mother of Jesus Christ. and the Mother of us all. She holds the hand of the Child, the Expectation of the Nations, and she presents Him to us as the greatest gift of God to the human race. And when that Child, grown to manhood, began the great work which Would fulfil the promise made to Abraham, the friends and co-operators He gathered round Him were all of the Chosen Race. Moreover, Joseph. the Man of the House, the provider of Jesus and Mary, who secured, on that first Christmas morning, for the Mother and Child, and for the beating heart of humanity, the shelter of the Stable: Joseph who snatched the Precious Ones from the danger which threatened them and fled into the land of the Sphinx and the Pyramids: Joseph who kept the roof the bread for His table over the head of the • Holy One, supplied and the very garments He wore, was also—like Mary—of the race Small wonder, then. if Jesus of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

A cable report from Loudon during the week expresses the cheep concern of Cardinal -.ginsle.y„Archbishop of Westminster, for the Arabs in Palestine.

But the Arabs were convinced that they were being.r robbed and they had his deepest sympathy and hope to help. Some 40.000 Catholic Arabs have suffered grievously in the pat few years, and for their sake a speedy reconciliation is desired. No Christian can view with equanimity the desecration of our most sacred shrines such as further civil war must entail.

Queen Laughs--Exclusive. Last week the Queen went to a variety show and "The Daily E xpress" reports that in one part of the show the Queen laughed. Next week we will publish a picture of the Queen laughing, together with an exclusive interview with the comedian who made her laugh. The interview will be entitled "How I Made the Queen Laugh." The comedian will reveal intimate details of his life, including his method of controlling his diet in order to keep his contours as funny as possible. In the picture of the Queen laughing her teeth are plainly visible. They are perfectly white and even. • Make Britain Safe for Millionaires. A man named Weston, who invented the slogan "Work Harder for Britain," which Lord Nuffield has said is the best slogan he has ever heard, is himself known as the Nuffield of the biscuit trade. His ambition when he Canada went to England from was to bake better, cheaper biscuits than any then produced. He not only succeeded in this ambition, but in fact baked mitliens of better, cheaper biscuits. and by doing so gained several million pounds ( money )in a few years. His fortune is said to be increasing at the rate of £5,000 a Incidentally, he believes week. that the more his methods spread and his sales increase, the better it will be for Britain. It is with this comfortable doctrine in mind that he introduces his slogan, "Work Harder For Britain," because obviously anyone who enquires of him how he can work harder for Britain gets the answer. "By working harder for me.' So come on. you loyal Britains, work harder for Britain by increasing Mr. Weston's profits. And if you starve yourself you will be comforted by the knowledge that, through your work, Britain is a better nation, that she comfortable. is broader. more more saintly, stronger. more superior, more able to shoulder the affairs of other races, a safer place for politicians, Marxists, Buddhists, women novelists, antiGodists. pseudo-historians (like Mr. W. G. Hells), heretics of all kinds, and millionaires. Above all, Britain will be a better place for Mr. Weston and his pal Nuffield. • This Other Lead-In. Those of us who have followed with interest the career of Mr. Anthony Lead-In, have never ceased to be amazed (to put It politely). Yet Sybil, Lady LeadIn. thought long and hard about Anthony before she decided to make him a politician. His handicaps were .so many that this was really the only choice possible-that or the ('hurch—but as he had-aceidentally been christened with the name of a Roman. Catholic Saint ( the Right Rev. Saint stlifts AnthoiW of the I )esert h a-PY) y t trl ht fizt‘'e he It Was not this that ineice. !1:0 fluenced Sybil. I.adv

ho-WeVer, as the fact-- thatAnthony did not believe in anything in particular. Not that she thought this would be any bar to his admission to the ministry or even to his preferment. but she felt that such an absence of beliefs would find a better scope in politics. So, equipped with his absence of beliet, a tie bearing the colours .of one of the best schools, and his record as a member of his in team University Rugby which, of course, he played left wing) Anthony was sent into For a .politics by his mother. long time he went unnoticed, but he attained temporary reputation in some quarters by wearing a black hat and a wooden expression. Add to this a compression of the lips, and you have a picture of a man who has a biting wit if he cared to use it), a man who could tell many sensational storA ies (if he cared to speak). facial expression makes so much difference to a career. Sit silent with the mouth kept slightly open and people will know you are silent, because there is nothing stirring behind your forehead; but sit silent and compress the lips, occasionally raise the eyebrows, now and then brush your hand across your forehead ,and everyone will believe that you know so much that you are too wise to speak at all. So it was with Anthony when his mother put hint into Parliament. Yet still he never seemed to quite make a hit. His mothe;married into one of the influential financial and political families, and again he was noticed for a time, but quickly he sank back into oblivion. There was something about him that was not quite right. Suddenly it dawned upon his mother—it was his face. It was still not quite correct, it lacked picturesque detail ; it was too even; there was nothing a cartoonist could really get his pen into. Sybil, Lady Lead-In• For a thought and thought. hint giving considered she while an extra, false, length of nose, but that, she realised, would be too sudden a change ,too obviously an after-thought. • Then she considered having his nose broken and perhaps one or two of his front teeth knocked out; but this latter would not fit in with her plan to keep his lips compressed. It was very difficult, but in the watches of the night inspiration tame at When morning broke sue last. sent for Anthony to come to her "Anthony,- she said. boudoir. "I want you to get yourself a nice moustache, a black one ,and as So Anbristly as possible." thony cultivated and nurtured the best moustache money could buy and when it reached maturity he named it "Voroshilov." This proved too clumsy, however, so he changed it to Lenin. (How much easier it is to exclaim - Down. Lenin ; lie down boy than "Down Voroshilov• etc.." when your moustache starts up at the mention of Franco. Mussolini, "The Dictator Nations." Neville Chamberlain, etc. ).

THIRTEEN Alas! the tare cannot end on this note. While Anthony listened to his mother he was safe. but success did. to him what it does to all of us. sowed the seeds of pride, until he began to think that it was due to something in himself. At length he became Foreign Secretary. This naturally went to his head, where there was Tso much room for it. What followed? Anthony, carried away by his pride, made the fatal mistake. he opened his lips, he kept them open for considerable lengths of time—worse, he spoke. We all know with what dire results and how quickly he destroyed the illusion he had built up.

A deeper note was struck in "Snowflakes," when a little lonely wandering orphan found her peace under their mystic white coverlet.

Mr. Cross, NI.L.A., supported His Grace, and then came an inimitable appeal by Very Rev.

hearted, was gone, that he would never again be at our beck and call to attend to this and give his advice about that. Ile was a prince of a man. Ever ready to lend a helping hand to others, his charity was of that high order which was unadvertised and hidden. He will be sadly missed at Beaconsfield, where his place will never be filled. He was the first to start work on the hill which was transferred from a barren rock to a terraced lawn. His energy was contagious and his example and cheerful leadership inspired others to undertake the gigantic task and carry it to a successful completion. To work with him was a pleasure, and night after night after a hard day's work he and his mates worked from 6 o'clock till 10 constructing the Sisters' cottage. He eagerly looked forward to the day when a new church would crown the summit of the hill he did so much to beautify, and he lived to see it and took a great pride in it. Ile will be missed at Goldsborough Mort's wool store, where he was foreman. It was one of his duties to pick up men for the sales, and many a casual worker was always sure of a job from Jack. They will miss him. He knew the circumstances of each One, and had compassion on them and showed it in a practical fashion. But he will be missed above all at home. His wife will listen in vain for the throb of his motor cycle returning from work. He was an ideal husband and father. Our heart goes out in s ympathy to his bereaved widow and children. but to the widow especially.

Young people form other attachments, their wounds heal comparatively easily, but she has lost part of herself. h ut God never gave a cross without a corresponding grace. and she has acceptsd her great cross with Christian resignation. She is stunned yet with the suddenness of the blow. Realisation will only come slowly and with increasing sadness as she looks forward to the empty years until she joins him in the home where there will be no more partings. It was a privilege to have known him. It is impossible to realise that we shall see him no more. The last time the writer saw him was one hot e vening a few weeks ago when he was taking ice cream to the Sisters at Beaconsifeld. That shows- the kindness and thought of the man: it was char-icteristic of him. One of the busiest men in Fremantle. he found time to do many such acts of kindness. He was a great Catholic: an enthusia,tic member and prefect of the Holy Name Society. He was a man of action rather than of words, and he neither sought nor wanted notoriety. We took him for granted while he was amongst us. Only now. when Tie is gone, do we realise the influence for good he exerted amongst us quietly and the void his passing has left. He was our leader, our adviser, and our father., Like the Master Whom he served. his Yoke was sweet and men did their hest for him cheerfully. With never a thought of self. he - worked till he fell. Truly he fought a es:od fight: he finished his work, he kept the Faith, and T am sure he. now enjoys the crown that the Lord has .prepared for those who love Him. Nfay .his soul and the entilq of all the faithfel- departed, through the merev, -ef- Gol. rest in peace

THE RECORD

Mr. H. Ives Appointed Manager of Olympic Baths. The appointment of Mr. Harrold Ives to the position of manager of the Olympic Baths at Kalgoorlie has met with general approval. The selection was made from some hundred applica_ t ions. Mr. Ives is an ex -student of C.B.C.. Fremantle, and has interested himself very much in every phase of social and charitable work on the Goldfields. He has been an ardent supporter of the Labour movement, and has been identified with the IALL.P. in several capacities. As an arbitrator in industrial matters, he has met with considerable success. Possessing sound judgment and tact, he had been instrumental in remedying industrial troubles, and the A.L.P. will find it difficult to replace him on its executive. For the past few years Mr. Ives has been the district secretary of the A.L.P. ( Eastern Goldfields Branch). His many friends wish him great success in his new position. . ....4,04`ONNON•NNosoNoNoNooNNO

THE RECORD

y'S ,NICUS and NEPi4E M V CORNE RITES,— it is Christmas once again, and with aff ection and gladness I wish one and all of you its holy graces, and the fullness of its charmful joys, and I think I shall pray for you a little prayer that came to my thoughts the other day when I was looking at a picture of the Divine V irgin Mother holding the Babe in her arms. so May Mary give Jesus to you As once long ago, She gave Him to Joseph who knelt With heart all a-glow. May h is baby lips leave on your soul The imprint of His kiss To fill all Your heart with His love. And your hiristmas with bliss. Yes, I wish you that, and ever so much more besides—gifts as royal as only the • King who is God can bestow, and the peace that is His to be with you now and forever. Christmas time is lovely the for children. but very often it is lonely for the grown-ups, for as this holy festival comes round each year it usually marl“ some change in the familiar and home circle—someone absent, sometimes someone who last Christmas enjoyed its celebration with us has died, and it is at this time most of all we realise the loneliness of their going. Vet even though this be so. does not the quiet and mystic influence of Our Saviour's Birthday soften the sorrow and ease the. pain? Surely. yes, for when He came down to earth at the midnight hour long ago He came with as human a heart as we ourselves have, and His eagerness to fill up every void in our lives and all that is wanting to our happiness is equal only to His immeasurable love. So I trust that His love will make the Christmas festival one of completest pleasure this year ,and I need hardly assure you that I shall pray for you and all who are dear to you, be they among the living or the dead, during my Christmas Communion. AUNT BESSY. GRAND FINALE TO SANDY'S WEDDING CAKE. Did you all see the notice in our "Record" of last week and in the 'West Australian" of the 14th. and 15th. announcing that "Baby Ann." 169 lakestreet. Perth, had won our Sandy's rake? The young lady, being only one month old, could only dribble her delight when the news of her good luck reached her. but it is very satisfactory to think she belongs to the Mac clan, and we hope that the trustees of the rake will keep the gondola with Sandy and his bride in it and present it to Miss Ann McFarlane when silo attains her majority. The raffle brought in the splendid sum of 1:31 12s 9d, £6 4s 6d Of which were sold by Messrs: Cogan Bros., who were also responsible for the selling of the winning ticket. Aunt Besse gratefully thanks Messrs. Cogan Bros., Pellegrini's Ltd., "Record" Office and lastly her many Cornerites, for t heir interest in disposing of the tickets. and she has allocated £30 to fill in six of the "Fivers" and the balance of the raffle receipts has gone into the LB. The following butts, which were not acknowledged in last issue. were in time for the dra.wing: Miss M. Chesson, Mrs. L. Brown, "Record" Office, Five Little Nfurphys, Kevin Johnstone, and Friends, Highgate. TIDDLES LEAVES FOR HOLLYWOOD. T he. Cornerites will rejoice to hear that the faithful office cat. Tiddles, who seven years and a half has acted as the chief licker on of the stamps in A.B.'s correspondence section, left for Hollywood on Thursday last. She is to act against Mickey Mouse in the f amous teehnicolour film, 'IA Cat in a Million." and in spite of the fact that she has never acted before it is expected she will outshine Mickey herself. She will be met on arrival by Mr. Walt Disney, and Minnie Mouse has kindly undertaken to act as her chaperone during her stay in film land. Thirtysix fat mice caught by the Wet Blan,ket have been placed- in cold 'storage on the boat and will he presented to her before she hoards the Matiretana at Sydney as a token of esteem from her lonely Aunt Bessv.

Since you have made' the bet public. I am even more prepared to stand by it, for as the Cor[writes have never yet let you down (-41 any Appeal I feel I can stake a gallon of Peter's best ice cream without losing a night's sleep over it that you will have reached the four figures when you print your final total on January 12.

Dear Nemte—It's very generous of you to increase your bet to a gallon and not the half gallon of ice cream I challenged you for, and though you do my Cornerites justice in staking the safety of your bet on their loyal and generous hearts. I want you to understand that the position is exactly as you see it above the L.B. entries, and as I am not 'keeping anything up my sleeve- this time, it seems as if you will have to give the ice cream all right. though I still hope I will have the pleasure of giving you the bottle of White Horse instead-time will tell .and we have not lone to wait.

The culprit was thought to pass himself off "Oosme" confesses that it took him half a day to type off the letter with the first finger of the right hand, so we feel he has been sufficiently punished for trying on a new alias on "the dear old lady."

is one matter which I feel Father Gascoigne has overlooked. In the concluding chapter, when pointing out the various ways in which youth can respond to the call of its Leader, an over-emphasis is perhaps placed on ;Inportance ca p;:blic position as a rieans of spreading Catholic principks and not enough on the more attainable and certainly more e ffect;vc method of piercing surroundings in private life. Howe‘er, this is, at the most, a minor fault. for no young man or woman following the other counsels—frequent, if not daily. Mass and Communim, consistent study of Church doctrine. especially social and moral, and constant prayer for the propagation of the Faith—cannot but affect consid. erably his environment.

- The Wild Geese." A novel by Bridget Boland. Heinemann. 7/6. The Irish Brigade in the service of France during the 18th. century, and the beautiful hills and valleys of county Kerry. are the setting for this first novel of the of the later Dr. Pat Moloney. a Melbourne literateur of some 45 years ago. Bridget's mother was Dr. Pat's only child, Eileen; she died just a year ago in London, where the family now live. John Boland. K.S.G., is her father. Bridget, like her father, took her Oxford Honours degree in the History school, and is now a scenario for the films. So she is well equipped for writing an historical novel, her first venture in this field of literature. We hope she will give us many more.

"The Wild Geese" (which has already been translated into German) picture, tinged with tragedy, of life in Ireland for a Catholic family in the penal times. Maurice Kinross. the younger son of one who remained loyal to the Faith despite shocking temptations to abandon it, is smuggled across as a lad to the College of St. Orners in France, then conducted by the Jesuits. Miss Boland, with a scholar's love of accuracy, has evidently built up her de:cription of the life at St. Omers from actual records; hence this part of her work is valuable from an educational standpoint. Maurice Kinross, an impulsive Kerry boy, cannot abide the cruel injustices of the penal laws, and escapes to France again—he had returned to Ireland after his He enlists in the Irish Brigade,

Agent for Absentees and Investors Mortgages Arranged, Rents and Interest Collected, Secretarial Work Undertaken. MISS MARY EDWARDS, For Typing and Duplicating West Australian Chambers,

The novel, written in letter form, moves on naturally and brightly with its love theme subordinated to what tragically human emotions roused by injustice and persecution. We found that we could not divide our reading of it. One is tempted to finish it at a sitting: and then to re-read it. We admit that it had for us a special appeal, as we knew the part of Kerry, the O'Connell part, in which the family of Kinross lived. But even so, we feel that every Gael want to have "The Wild Geese" at his elbow, if it be only to refresh his memory of dear Old Ireland the loyalty of his forbears to the Faith in those appalling days.

The ceremony ot presentation- of -debutantes .was filled with dignity and grace and added an atmosphere of splendour to the evening's function. Shortly after 9 p.m. the Resident Magistrate, Mr. L. W. Stutter, accompanied by Mrs. Stotter, arrived and were met at the front entrance by Rev. Father McKay and conducted to the dais at the top of the hall, where they were introduced to the Matron of Honour, Mrs. F. Knuckey. To the slow but graceful march, "Debutante," the young ladies commenced to make their entry singly. later presenting the Lancers. Supper was daintily served on the stage to the "Set." "Rev. Father McKay presided and others with him were the Resident Magistrate and Mrs. Stotter, the Motron of Honour, Mrs. Ilay-Hendry who prepared the set so efficiently), and Miss Hammond. Miss Ruth Hammond and her band rendered the dance music faultlessly, while Mr. A. Brazier acted capably as master of ceremonies. The debutantes and their partners were: Miss I. Fane, partnered by Mr. J. Knuckey; Miss M. Walker, partnered by Mr. R. Bulbeck; Miss G. Stainton, partnered by Mr. C. Fane; Miss F. Wallace, partnered by Mr. C. Hutchinson; Miss B.

Loreto Convent, Swanbourne

The annual Retreat ior the Children opened on of Mary Sodality was Thursday evening, the Feast of the Conception, by Immaculate Rev. Father Walsh, C.SS.R. Mass was celebrated each morning at 6 o'clock, followed by a lecture, with evening devotions and lecture at 7.30 p.m. At the close of the Retreat on Sunday morning. Rev. Father Walsh congratu.lated the Children of Mary for the way in which they attended all the exercises of the Retreat. He was par ticularly pleased and edified at the 100 per cent. attendance of the Sodal ity at early Mass and Holy Communion. He appealed to them to remain always loyal and true to the Blue Cloak of Mary their Mother. As Children of Mary they should be a shining light to the parish by word and example. On the second Sunday of the month, all the members of the Holy Name Society were present at the 7 o'clock Mass and received Holy Communion The Holy Name Society in Bunbury was established twelve months ago. During the year the attendance of the men on the second Sunday was very satisfactory. On many occasions it reached the 100 per cent. mark. During the past twelve months our Holy Name Society has increased in numbers. Beginning with a society of 100 men, it has now a society of 143. Unfortunately within the last few monthy fifteen of these men left for other parishes, and received their transfer from the Holy Name `-zociety. The membership now is Communion Breakfast. On the Sunday morning the Holy Name .men had their annual Holy Communion Breakfast, together with the Children of Mary Sodality, in St. Joseph's Hall. Right Rev. Monsignor Hayes, V.F.. Rev. Father Walsh. C.SS.R.. Rev. Father Perrot S.J., and Rev. Father Power were present. Eighty Holy Name men and fifty-four Children of Mary were. present at the breakfast. All the Holy Name men were unable to be present—some had to go to work, others had to go home so that other members of the family might get to the 9.30 Mass. During the breakfast Rev. Father Walsh congratulated the two sodalities, and expressed his great pleasure in being present that morning. Ile congratulated the Holy Name men for the way they had proved themselves during the year in living up to the rules of the society. "I am proud of you this morning. the Rev, speaker continued, "and your A rchbishop is proud of you, too. The Holy Name Society in Bunbury at the present time is one of the best in the A rchdiocese. Due to the zeal of your illustrious Archbishop, who has only one thing in his mind, namely. the progress and advancement of the Church in the Archdiocese, he has exhorted all his priests to establish this Society in their parishes. Year after year the society is growing. As Holy Name men, therefore, live up faithfully to the rules, uphold the Christian principles which are being spurned at the present time. Live the Christian life in full and spread the sweet odour of Jesus ('hrist among your fellow men... Death of Mr. Daniel Dwyer. It was learned with deep regret that Mr. Daniel Dwyer had passed away in St. John of God Hospital, Bunbury. The Sisters of St. John of God and the priests of the parish extend to Mrs. Dwyer and family their deepest sympathy.

St. Gertrude's Ex-Collegians' Association The fifth annual meeting was held at the South . Perth Convent on November 27, and was very successful from all aspects, several members from the country being present. The social activities of the Association this year have been very well attended, and the committee thank members for their efforts in making this year a profitable one for the Association. The combined hall was one of the outstanding successes, from both the financial and social point of view. One of the many interesting proposals brought forward during the meeting was that of the formati.o of a tennis club. It is anticipated that this will meet with the interest of many members. It was decided that in future years the Retreat and re-union be held alternatively, as it was thought by so doing each affair would meet with more support. To those members who have attended before, they are reminded that the annual high tea will he held as usual in January, and to those members who have not yet initiated themselves into this extremely enjoyable afternoon, they are earnestly invited to be present, as it is one of the "hits'' of the year. Once again sincere thanks are tendered to His Lordship, Abbot Catalan, 0.S.B., for his interest in our Asssociation, to the Sisters for their co-operation and hospitality, and also to the r etiring members of the committee. The officers for 1939 are as follows: Patron, His Lordship Abbot Catalan, 0.S.B. ; president, Mrs. Hegnev vicepresidents, Misses E. Pye and M. Tracey; secretary, Miss P.

Amazing Triumph of the Rosary

HE Editor broke into my October devotions or, as I might say, my autumn manoeuvres, with the following request: I wonder if you would have the goodness to write an article for our Christmas number. It seems to me that a very suitable article might be written about the Rosary—not so much from the historical point I ii view, but as an aid to those t and I am afraid there are many of them) who find it difficult to follow this devotion. The black type is mine. I have put the phrase into black type because, not as, a theologian but as an old-fashioned Gardenof-the-Soul Catholic, I find it difficult to see how anyone can ;ind it difficult to say the Rosary. Let me explain by a hut-vomits most human paradox of my dead friend Gilbert Chesterton. His Garden-of -the-Soul Catholicism one day uttered itself in these memorable words: "What is worth doing. is worth doing— InnIi !" For fear of scandalising some o f your more scandalisable readI will restate the paradox in inore theologically accurate words: What is worth doing well worth doing not so well." This is but another way of s tating the essential paradox of As Our Blessed Lord P rayer. has told us to pray always." souls that say that it is "hard to pray" must be told that on the contrary an average Catholic must find it hard not to pray always; though his average prayer will not he the best. In this matter of prayer the . crupulous must be reminded that a thing or action is bad only \viten it is not as good as it ought to be. It is not had merely because it is not as good as it might be. No doubt the Rosary is sometimes said in heaven. If sti, it vill be said by the . heavenly mob as yell as it ought to be. But amongst the Communion of saints and of sinners here on earth there are so many classes and grades of even the good that a perfectly said Rosary may approach the miraculous.

into this vital remembrance? Even if by their human weakness they can remember these mysteries of Jesus no longer than the moment of saying them— even if they cannot give them the time spent in counting Our Ayes Father ten and one Gloria; still, to have said the Rosary is to have remembered what Jesus did to have us and reward us. It may not have been a timeexposure, but even instantaneous exposures on a prepared film may leave living and lasting impressions. And now, at the end of a long life, I sometimes puzzle myself by asking what is the best way of saying the Rosary—and my puzzle is as yet unanswered. One of my first memories is of the family Rosary being said in the kitchen. as one of the family said, "round the family tea-pot." Another priceless memory is of a Christmas afternoon in the home of my dear (and dead) brother, the father of nine, when all the

family were in the drawing-room and the family Rosary was accompanied by the twin little ones silently playing "Our Lady's Tumblers" on the hearth-rug. Another unforgettable memory is of some 8,000 folk who took it into the head to pilgrimage to Rievaulx Abbey, and for some ten minutes made a ceaseless thunder of prayer within the roofless Cistercian Church. Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us. - ALEXANDER'S RAG TIME B AND." X mas Eve Attraction at Northam's Capitol Gardens. With a cast headed by the same trio who starred "In Old Chicago." is "Alexander's Ragtime Band." It pres dramia.tic t4t or y, Aent s. tiSrough highlights of the past quarter of a century. A unique device is used to indicate the period of each scene—a song is woven into the story for each year, a-nd selected hits from the tunes made famous by Irving Berlin. Reservations are obtainable by ringing 109 or 239 Northam.

NORTHAM

By lather Vincent :McNabb in the "Universe" Take it from an old theologian that the Rosary is almost uniquely the prayer of the Incarnation. Protestants often belittle it as a gabble of prayers in worship of the Virgin. But they are not up to this dear Virgin's tricks! One of her most wonted tricks is to appear as John saw her appear, like a woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her maiden feet, a. wreath of.stars about her brow.

B CCOMCS a C_d'El101iC B y "PRESS GANG." "Convert Your Bonds" has been the cry for the past few weeks. It is denied that Mr. Casey said privately that it was all right to convert bonds, but that it would be a darn sight better for the country to convert the bondholders. A party of missionaries and natives from Walcott Inlet was said last week to be nearing the stranded Wellesley bomber, after forcing their way through some of the most rugged country in Australia. In view of the number at times missionaries have come to the rescue of distressed planes ,one wonders whether Mr. Kitson might not find in this a suggestion for putting them to some real use—you know, giv:: them some such practical job as "official resthat cuers of stranded aviators,' so they will not have to spend their time on such out-of-date stuff as teaching religion and generally making themselves an embarrassment by saving the remnants of the aboriginal race from e xtinction. Last week the Press, faced with a European winter. which makes any new war impossible during the next few months, was busy manufacturing for "situations" and spawning wars next season's hatchings. Some of those which may or may not hatch out are: Japan and England, Japan and Russia: France and Franco, Britain and Italy. France and Italy, and so on. The combinations are infinite, and so offer infinite possibilities for speculative journalism. It was reported last week that Mr. silrecently Keenan Norbert enced Ministerial purring when, in the h ouse, the Ministers were stroking each other's backs with references to the continued prosperity of the West Mr. industry. mining Australian Keenan said that there had been a decline in the interest of the public in the industry, and that cause was obvious. The boom at the end of last century, said Mr. Keenan, had been The Hamilton killed by wild cats. Plains boom had been killed by wild cats, and the boom of 1932 had been killed by wild eats.

Cure Aided His Search of Moral and Social Truth. M. Gustave Herve, once a noted Socialist and Pacifist, who was dismissed from his post as a college professor because of his violent views and later continued to spread his doctrines through the Press, has become a Catholic. He moderated his ideas during the Great War when he became editor of a patriotic journal, "La Victoire," and recently had become very interested in Catholicism On Ascension Day, 1935, he went into a Catholic church to offer thanks for the recovery of his brother from an illness. He stayed there for an hour. He then began to go to Mass every Sunday, studied Catholic doctrines, and realised that at last he had found the moral and social truth for which he had searched for many years. M. Hervc has described his gradual change of views and final reception into the Church in a long letter in the Paris Press. MINE EXPLODES, INJURES THREE AT CATHOLIC CLUB. Belfast. Three Catholic ouths were injured, two seriously, by a land mine that exploded at the side entrance of the Rock Social Club in Rockmount-street, Falls-road, at 9.30 on Saturday night, 26th. lilt. The club is used by the Catholic youths of the district. About 50 were in the club when the explosion occurred. No arrests have been made. — --ITALIANS, HUNGARIANS, NON-ARYANS. The Italians, descendants of the Etruscans. are Non-Aryans. So are the Hungarians and the Basques. Yet these three peoples are among the greatest Catholic and civilised races of the world, says Cardinal Schuster, Archbishop of Milan. FORMER POLITICIAN NOW PRIOR OF ABBEY. Father Nicholas Perrier, former president of the cantonal council of Fribourg-. Switzerland, has b een elected Prior of *the Pierrequi-Vire. Benedictine Abbey in Bitrg-undv. France. He gave up politics sonic yearago to become a monk.

FIRST MASS IN BOSTON W AS CELEBRATED 150 YEARS AGO.

To mark the 150th. anniversary of the first Mass in Boston, Cardinal O'Connell celebrated Mass in the Chapel of' St. Thomas More. The chapel stands a short (Ifs tance from the site of the first M assJESUIT BISHOP NAMED FOR BRITISH HONDURAS. Father William Rice, S.J., has been appointed Vicar Apostolic of Belize, British Honduras. The Bishop-elect was born at Framingham in the Boston diocese in 1891.

A fter the former Apostolic Delegate to Iraq. Archbishop Drapier, left in 1936 for Indo-China. Father Rice was placed ia charge of the Delegation and remained there until his appointment to Belize. REICH'S CHRISTIAN JEWS ARE DOUBLY HIT. Father Joseph Geraerts, chairman of the Catholic Committee for German Refugees, has issued a statement pointing out that there are thousands , if non-Aryan Christians among the i‘ tims of the persecution in Germany. They are classed as Jews by the laws of the Reich, but are not recognised by the Jews proper or in public

estimation.

They do not receive any help from funds collected and administered by Jews -A RCHBISHOP PAYS SECRET VISIT TO REICH. Mgr. John Becker, 68-year-old Archbishop of Portalegre, Brazil. has just returned home from an incognito visit to Germany. The Archbishop, in an interview with the Brazilian Press, said he visited the country to find out the truth about the persecution of Catholics and particularly the treatment given to Catholic schools. The schools are doomed, he declared, and added: "The aim of National Socialism is ,the destruction of Christian civilisation. Liberty exists only at the will c f the Government. But despite all, the German clergy are fighting."

STATUE FOUND IN WALL WAS HID FROM MOB. A beautiful twelfth-century Crucifix has been found in the wall of the church at .:Vutibes, France, by workmen engaged in restoration work. I t is believed to have been hidden there to save it from the anti-clerical mob during the French Revolution. It is perfectly preserved and is considered by experts to be a great work of art. This discovery. coinciding with the opening cf the campaign of prayers for the 1940 International Eucharistic Congress at Nice, has deeply touched the Catholic population. IRISH JESUIT HEADS REFUGEE COUNCIL IN HONG KONG. Hong Kong. Father Thomas F. Ryan, wellknown Irish Jesuit and editor of the "Rock," mission magazine, has been elected president of Hong Kong's Emergency Refugee Council. The council has charge of a large flying field set apart as a refugee camp for 50.000 persons. Other camps are being constructed. 4,500,000 FREEMASONS IN WORLD TO-DAY.
