It is difficult to discover in the J apanese character that quality w hich may account for a certain r eluctance to embrace the Faith. They are a lovable people. and most missionaries who know their natural goodness. their gentleness, their power of endurance and self-control, their boundless energy and goodwill. would still apply St. Francis Xavier's famous statement to them: "They are the best people I ever met." No doubt, the centuries .of the T okugawa regime which, through a rigid central police system. unified the picturesque dukedoms of St. Francis's time, isolated the nation, and regimented cultural and social life, have left their traces on the people's minds, and so have the past seventy years of growing industrialisation. With the paternal government of the "kings" of the old J esuit chronicles, much of the open. childlike character of the Japanese may have disappeared. The modern Japanese is apt to be reserved and repressed. His attitude to religion is intuitive, emotional. mystical rather than logical_ All this rules out massconversion and makes individual approach and instruction very laborious.—"The Tablet."

The Lord Abbot officiated at the ceremony, which took place in the private chapel of the Monastery, in the presence of the Fathers and Brothers the Community.

THE RECORD.

Catholicism in Japan Retrospect and Prospect BEST THE "THEY ARE PEOPLE I EVER MET." —St. Francis Xavier.

HE number of Catholics in Japan is usually quoted as over 200,000. In June. 1937, there were indeed, according to the official statistics, 286,000 Catholics among the 97 millions of inhabitants of Greater Japan, which includes Corea and However, the 69 the colonies. millions of Japan proper contain Conseonly 111,827 Catholics. quently these form a minority of .16 per cent., a percentage which. if applied to the seven million inhabitants of Australia would give but 11,000 Catholics for the whole Continent. How are we to account for After these depressing figures? all, Japan has a moderate climate: it is highly civilised and easil\ accessible; deeply rooted fanatical beliefs are absent, in short, it is free from most of those formidable obstacles that handicap the progress of Christianity in other pagan countries. proved Moreover, Japan has thromzhout history her capacity of absorbing the elements of Her ancient foreign culture. civilisation is of Chinese origin. as is also the Buddhism which most of her people profess. Catholic missionaries successfully evangelised entire provinces in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In our times Japan has, by an extraordinary feat of adaptation —within two generations after its emergence from three centuries of selm-imposed isolation-placed itself in a position to talk to the West on equal terms upon every topic "from battleships to bills of exchange." How is the apparent weakness of the ('at ii lic position to be explained?

There are seven secondary schools for boys, with a total of 3,817 pupils. It must be .borne in mind that schools are not wanting in Japan, where illiteracy is at its lowest in the world. But Japanese parents have an implicit trust in the educational tradition of the Catholic Orders. This is even more conspicuous in the case of girls' schools.

PERTH, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 29. 1938.

The New Year The New Year is on us again, and it is a seasonable and trar ditional moment for reflection. One looks wistfully back at the r esolutions broken and hardly-remembered, of the previous year. and is comforted by Seneca's dictum: "We tight. not that we may What overcome sin. but that we may not be overcome by it." counted indefinab as gain., And in some has not been lost is le way the irrational optimism of the human heart looks forward expectantly to some boon, unsought and undeserved, from the mere pas sage of time. In sober truth the prospect is not cheerful. The past year has been fraught with peril, and the threat of Nvar. And this Christmastide sees not so much a truce as a lull. -- Our domestic affairs hear a record of shame and betrayal. The air is clamourous with the mouthings of the peace-seekers, vet not one of r ause of justice whereon all sane and lasting peace must rest.

For the Church of Christ also, the closing year has been tilled with anxiety. While victory for the Christian cause in Spain is assured, the war drags tediously on. The evangelisation of the East is hampered by yet further strife. The rape of Austria saw open conflict between the Cross and the swastika. All the tyranny of secularism and the racial aspirations of the totalitarian States have been made effective to the detriment of the Church. The tense days of September brought every mediatory power of the Vatican into play to prevent the monstrous futility of another world war. The venerable old man in the chair of Peter, broken in health and with grief, offered his life for the peace of the world. The Christmas. the feast of friends and of good-will, brought him not serene joy, but grave preoccupation and bitter grief. Extending to the peoples of the world a wish for a peaceful future, the Pope said: "We have offered our old life for peace, we offer it again." 1064

Retrospect and prospect of the world scene seems, howover, remote from our individual lives. We seem, as personalities. im-potent in the face of forces which we cannot control. Yet it is not so. History does not just happen. It is purposeful, it is the fruition of the deliberate acts of men. And however trifling the individual effort seems, we are yet bound together in the natural solidarity of the human race, and in the supernatural unity of Christ's Mystical Body. It is only because the number of individuals who fail is so great that society is gripped with fear, stagnation and decay. It will be a universal calamity when men do not commence the New Year with resolutions. For unless there is a new ordering of our personal lives society will never rise frcm this slough of disillusion and despair. We are society. The world will be regenerated only by the contagion of the Christ;an life.

Castledare Christmas Eve there was jubilation among- the little inmates of St. Vincent's Orphanage at Castledare. W onderful 'things happened, which c aused round eyes to grow rounder with joy and excitement. After carols, sweetly sung by the orphans, a variety entertainment organised by the Franciscan Dramatic Circle kept them wonder -struck for a time, but even more so were they by the charming Nativity play acted by these artists, the culmination of which was a very realistic Crib. The idea was to bring to their young minds a loving realisation of the gre-t Christmas mystery, which was first explained to them in a simple child-like fn.sh;on. But probably to the very small ones at least, the crea.n cf the evening was -a Christmas tree, fr'm wl..:ch a Fr 11. ciscan Father Xmas (oh we shades of St. Francis) produced toys galore.

My Cornerites,—Though I must not intrude too much on space this week, I want to wish you all a very holy, happy, and prosperous New Year—the last year in which it will be my privilege thus to greet you through the Corner, the lease of which expires, as far as this holder of it goes, on January 12. By reason of your good and practical Catholic lives, by reason, also, of your great goodness and generosity in making the Bushies' Scheme the apostolic success it is, you deserve indeed many joys and graces through the coming year, but ,I think most of us greet each succeeding year with a certain amount of foreboding and trepidAtion, since past experience has brought home to us the amount of anxiety, sorrows, and reverses which can come our way during a brief t welve months. Still, is not the counter experience of God's marvellous and gracious care of us and those dear to us a stronger reason for facing the unknown and untravelled period of time that now awaits with loving confidence and trust in Him? At the risk of reiteration, I will reprint here a little verse I used in an article I wrote some years ago before the wand changed "Cousin Kathleen" into A.B.:—

O'Neill and Dr. Palandri, and may we add Le Pere and La Mere of the Five ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. To Mary and Anthony, for the Savings Bank Money Box, which contained the splendid sum of 11/2, and thank you, dears, for your prayers for the good finish. To Paul and Michael, for donation of is; A Poor Widow, Mosman's Park, 2s., and "A Friend," Mosman's Park, 5s. I am very grateful. AUNT BESSY. Coomberdale.

Jarrandale. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Having lately had a small win ---not at the Trots-I thought of you as being one of t hose who deserved to have a share in the spoils. Best wishes for success of the Thousand.—Yours sincerely, EILEEN E. IliANIRAHAN. Dear Miss Hanrahan,---You have ever been generous and thoughtful for the Cause and its beggar, so thank you for the final gesture, and here's wishing you future good luck. The .Thousand is still in the balance, but as I am making a novena to everyone in heaven to close on the 31st., there's just no telling. AUNT BESSY

Dear Friend,---You will wonder what's gone wrong the week after next when you den't have to purchase the faithful P.N. and post off your weekly letter, and at this end Friday will only mean fish and eggs again, but I am so grateful that for so long' it has meant your geoerotts remembeance of -our Bushies. AUNT BESSY. Dunsborough. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I am enclosing P.N. for 5s. Please put it in the Lemonade Bottle. and I hope it will be in before the count is over. I would have sent it before only I have had a very bad time going up to Perth to the Rad. Department and back every fortnight, so please say a prayer for me that it will soon finish. LILY DALE. Dear Lily Dale,--Thank you for being so mindful of the old L.B. when you could well be excused, and 1 will pray for you with much sympathy, and a great hope that the trouble necessitating the treatment mentioned will be cured.
