President Roosevelt Recalls

American Nun Who be Beatified

President Roosevelt struck an interesting autobiographical note 1n a message to the Catholic University of America on the occasion of its golden jubilee

The President, who holds an honorary degree from the University, recalls his relationship to the Most Rev James Roosevelt Bayley· egntn Archbishop ef Baltmore and to Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton, whose cause for beatification is being advanced I had hoped," said President Roosevelt in his message, "that I might, in connection with the jubilee, again visit the institution cl honoured me with its deree and in whose progress I have therefore, the enthusiastic .e t of an alumnus, Godspeed CU in the attainment of its noblest aims

Perhaps I may be pardoned r mentioning a personal and amilv nterest in the Archdiocese f Baltimore which latterly became the Archdiocese of Baltinore and Washington, within whose bounds the University sated.

"An earlier Archbishop of Baltimore James Roosevelt Bayley was my father's first cousin

Those of vou who are familiar with the succession in the line of Baltimore prelates know that Archbishop Bayley, a nephew, by the way, of Mother Seton, was the immediate predecessor of the venerable Cardinal Gibbons, whose friendship was very dear to me and whose memory benediction"

Man

Not

Teacher, Sydney

Rational

I have been very. interested in your discussions concerning the Teachers' College and have been going through my own nctes on psychology given us whilst I was there I am sending some of our doctrines of which I would be glad to hear your explanation

I will do my best for you

We were taught that "man is not a rational creature He begins from a single germ cell and goes through the various stages seemingly common to the growth of an animal, but reaches a higher stage of maturity and develops different characteristics

The fallacy there ought to be clear to any intelligent person

The fact that man's body develops from a germ cell akin to the bodies of animals does not prove that "man' is not a rational creature Nobody suggests that the body as such, and prescinding irom the soul, is rational But "man" is not his body only He consists of body and soul, the soul being the animating principle. And it is the soul which is endowed with the power of reason and intelligence The bland statement that man reaches a higher stage of maturity and develops different characteristics does not contain the explanation why he does so He does so because the animating principle or soul of a man is itself higher than that of an animal That soul of man is spiritual and intelligent of its very nature The development of ~ being is due to its inherent principles from the beginning It doesn't just develop, new characteristics being added from nowhere as it goes on growing

Animals are animals because they are born and reared in the environment of animals, and man is man for the same reason Nonsense It is absurd to suggest that there is no more in it than that

k # Dogs and Culture

*

The motives which inspire a dog's actions and those of a man are much the same, although man's ways of carrying out such ideas are more varied than those of a dog owing to the fact of man's greater intelligence

There is a difference not only of degree, but of kind, between the cognitive powers of human beings and animals Dogs have phantasms and instincts But they do not attain to the level of ideas and intelligence in the strict sense of the word Culture, acquired by education and reading, is one of the most important distinctions between men and animals

And it supposes a distinction ot nature between them, man Possessing the higher principles which make culture possible to him, a culture of which mere animals are radically incapable Dogs do not lack human culture merely because they have not re-

ceived the same education, and have not taken to reading These statements are based on sheer materialism, as if there were no other philosophical outlook possible No reference is made to difierent schools of thought No alternative position is hinted at In the name of psychology straight out rationalism is being taught, with no allowance for God or the eal dignity of man k Pagan Principles

k

We were constantly referred to A S Neill's books

You were referred to a rationalist, whose radical views, moral iaxity in principle, and educational standing, have discredited his books in the eyes of all sound and sensible authorities; and whose experimental efforts in schools overseas fell into bad repute It 1s disgraceful that the lecture halls of he Teachers' College should be used to introduce his principes to our own public school teachers in N S W , and to recommend them I would recommend you to read, a book recently published by Longmans, and entitled "The Good Pagan's Failure," by Rosalint Murray

It shows that the man who ab andons Christian principles adopts paganism, and still wants to be good, is doomed to failure

The book sums up perfectly the position put before students at the Teachers' College; describing it as the culmination of diminishing horizons The regression is eident First God was dethroncd in favour of Sovereign Man; then Man was dethroned in favour of Animal Nature; finally even the animal is now yielding to the machine with a mechanistic and deterministic philosophy

It is a lapse from a higher form of life to a lower form; a contraction of existence from man to east, and beast to mechanism M'an is merely a physical being; all his mental states have physical origins hat in a formet age would be termed sin is not ih Attend to men's bodies with health services, and clinics Get bodies to function rightly, and all will be well-not good" because that word has associations these people reject People will be happy when they get free from inhibitions, from artificial moral repressions which the old moral aws imposed. Well, they are breaking free amazingly and with increasing speed, and such lectures as were given to you will b» • • help on the good work But is it a contribution to the welfare of the community?

Professor C E M Joad has written recently, "Religious beief is rapidly and palpably on the decline Young people in particular are either indifferent to religion or hostile to it For the +' h first time in historv there is coming to maturity a generation of men and women who have no religion, and feel no need for one They are content to ignore it Also they are very unhappy, and the suicide rate is abnormally high "

BY REV.DR. RUMBLE«.

Children's Morals

Speaking of child psychology, the lecturer said that a child's sense of responsibility does not develop in its childhood"

That is not true The conscience of a child, or its sense of responsibility, begins to develop from the moment it attains to its first conscious ideas The basic general intuition that good ought to be done and evil avoided has not to be taught to the child at all for it is the innate characteristic of every soul Precisely what is the good to be done and the evil s' 1 d to be avoided begins to be unterstood from the moment a child becomes aware that parents approve or disapprove of some of its actions The apprehension that some actions are right and others wrong may be fairly vague at first and insufficient for anv serious degree of moral guilt But a diminished sense of responsibility is not a complete lack of responsibility and it is ridiculous to make the sweeping statement that a child's sense of responsibility "simply does not develop in its childhood"

Therefore the child has no morals Its notions of wrong are not distinct to itself from the moral point of view

This is the kind of teaching one gets from pornographic liter° «,,4 ature such as the books on education produced by writers like A S Neil-an author so frequentv recommended to the students at the Teachers' College Your lecturer's assertion that "a child's notions of wrong are not distinct therefore it has no morals" makes no allowance for degrees of knowledge and corresponding degrees of moral responsibility Does t follow that because a child has less apprehension of moral values than a guilty adult therefore a child has no moral responsibility at all?

t t # "Sex-driven" Humanity !

Speaking of the "drives" of human beings, the lecturer said that the sex drive is strong because its goal is the preservation of the race

The newpsychology based on materialism and determinism, is ot content to speak of people's passions, propensities, and natuval inclinations It has to call them drives" in order to suggest that people are driven by heir impulses, and act in accordance with them of necessity So the idea of moral responsibility

* *

Think of Society!

Because of society the sex drives are controlled in human beings, but the repressing of this instinct does not kill it That seems a corrective to my previous remarks, but it isn't really The suggestion is that sex drives are controlled because of society· not because of God; not because of any personal moral ideas of right or wrong in itself 2' ,1:. .:, » There's a kind of "socia mstinct rive which counteracts the sex drive in mechanical man. If the social instinct" drive doesn't happen to arrive on time, disaster occurs, and man is powerless to avert it That is why it is so useless, according to your lecturer, to give a child any moral trainis undermined, and children are robbed of the very notion tha self-control is possible There is a crumb of consolation in the statement that the goal of sex appetite is the preservation of the race That should be impressed on all manufacturers and distributors of contraceptives However this is only a tiny crumb of consolation for, on the determinist philosophy of your lecturer there can be no moral oblioration to regulate sex inclina5° 5' h • ions in accordance wt. their purpose; and, in any case, people are so driven by them that they can't regulate them Such is the wretched svstem of defeatism beins taught at the Teachers' Col- 2 lege

A science like biology

in the ordinary time-table

Now we are arriving at something practical. It's a pity that innocent children should be left in dismal ignorance of reproductive functions for so many years before nature has fitted them for such capabilities

All children should be given the information they ask for. By the proper people, and in the proper way; not in the public class-room by school teachers unfitted for the task by the lectures on psychology at the Teachers' College

I1:AA Worth-whileVerdict

THE RECORD

The sexual functions shouldbe treated quite openly, and the sense of mystery should be done awaywith

To that I will give the answer of an expert in your lecturer's own field Dr F W Foerster, who was lecturer in Psychology and Ethics at the University of Zurich, and Professor of Education at the University of Vienna, says of himself, "I come from the ranks of those who dispense with all religion" That profession of unbelief will possibly appeal to your lecturer But it is too much to hope that the balance of Professor Foerster's remarks will do so Here they are:

'The foundation of all sound education in sex must consist in distracting the mind from sexual matters, not in directing it towards them Moral preservation is a question of power far more than of knowledge Our modern educators are no more than beginners in the great problem of the care of souls and the devel-

opment of conscience; and they would have done well to have learnt in this difficult sphere from the great spiritual and psychological knowledge and pedagogical experience of the Catholic Church instead of attempting to act on their owo ideas and on their own fragmentary knowledge The more realistically the teacher grasps human nature in his study of the problem of sex, the more he will be constrained to abandon the materialistic standpoint, and to recognise the indispensability of the Christian ethic The time is only too soon coming when those who are now the victims of folly and blindness will be compelled to realise that there are eternal truths whichcannot be set aside with impunity by any would-be wisdom of to-day The old idea of loyalty with its immense educational power, one of the pillars of all higher culture and civilisation, has become a thing of mockery, and sexual purity is looked upon as unhealthy All these concessions to the natural man not only tend to undermine character in the sphere of sex but they help to destroy the authority of spiritual deals in every other sphere of life"

So speaks Dr Foerster When some fellow freethinkers condemned him for paying a tribute to Catholic principles, Dr Foerster replied, "Is it in accordance with the spirit of free inquiry to reject a genuine scientific opinion because it happens to be in agreement with the stand of the Catholic Church?" Your lecturer can accept that reply to his own thoughts on the subject t k "Eradicate Shame!"

that the virtue of modesty is an outgrownaffair, andthatwe today, 111 accordance with the revelations of science, have no use for it As a result of this idea much is said under the name of 'frankness' that does not deserve praise"

Apparentlyno physical disability or disease will result from solitary self-indulgence in sexpleasure

That isa great message of consolation, and a wonderful encouragement to virtue But if the subject is to be mentioned I at all is nothing to be said about loss of ideals of purity, and of personal moral integrity? Is there no such thing as immorality, depravity, and moral corruption? And is it surprising that girls attending the Teachers' College have asked to be excused from attending the lectures on sex-psychology, their sense of decencv protesting against them What is surprising is that every girl in the room did not rise and walk out in concerted protest k k >k k Secret of Control.

Sex, like all other "drives' must be controlled

That s better, though sex is not a "drive" That term conveys a wrong idea

O'DWYER.

The attitudes of fear and shame should be entirely eradicated

Is it the misioe of public school teachers to turn the children into shameless little animals? Is there no such thing as a proper sense of shame and modesty, that all sense of shame should be entirely eradicated? The virtue of purity or chastity is so important that God Himself has implanted n human nature· a particularly strong sense of shyness and delicacy concerning sex matters, and shame in sins against virtue This sense of decency s one of the strongest preservations against depravity But with the loss of religion, modern so-called psychologists and educators are attacking this sense of modesty'in every mood and tense Dr Richard Cabot, a non-Catholic medical man, has this to say on the subject: "Nowadays it is said that there s nothing improper in itself, and there is no reason why we should not deal with anything in any company The answer to that is contained in the relationship of our minds to our bodies It is a general law that f our minds interfere in a province where they do not belong, we get into trouble For example, we are not meant to be conscious that we have a heart As physicians go through their work they see a good many sick people who are sick because they have been made conscious thatthey have a heart As soon as a person turns the fll light of consciousness on the state of his heart he begins to have trouble The enormous effect of many advertisements we see in the papers is to dislocate consciousness Concentration of attention in itselfmakes things actuallv work wrong We are not meant to think, or speak, or write of everything in heaven or earth in every company and at every time A great deal said to-day contains the silent implication

The reactions to fear often help one to get out of danger Out of what danger? Physical danger? That is denied Moral danger? That is not admitted Danger of awkward social consequences? That is the only reason indicated The motive urging control is to be "the good of society " But what influence upon a child will be exercised by the thought of the "good of society ?" That awakens no fears in the individual where the sex problem is concerned

Dr Cabot, the non-Catholic medical authority whom I have already quoted, writes as follows: "Those who are trying to prosecute the campaign for purity without manifesting at every point the Christian religion are acting to a very considerable extent upon the assumption that the motive of fear is the most important motive of which we can make use But this is not only ineffective teaching It does positive harm because it teaches us to believe in a morality of consequences There is already too much tendency to believe that to be found out is the great sin Christians have a special duty to insist on the religious view of this matter Immorality is not primarily a matter of social disorder or inconvenience, nor tatter of personal misfortune or disease, but a rupture of the relation between the soul and God; and ultimately, nothing else" In other words, immorality is-sin, and a violation of God's laws But Christ would lift men's thoughts from the vice to the virtue, inculcating ideals of chastity. and giving the promise "Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God" Of course it is difficult for a Government-controlled secular education to appeal to religious motives Nor can a Government Department take a very paternal interest in the moral and spiritual welfare of children But at least, if sound principles cannot be taught, the subject of sex should be left alone rather than have t treated as it is treated in the lectures on psychology at the Teachers' College It should not be possible for anv lecturer to walk into a class room there and teach whatever he likes on such a topic however crude and unscientific his views may be

CHARLES

Another'of History's Great:Anti-Catholic Fiction Stories

If we owe to Ware, the forger, and to Titus Oates, the original form of the bogus oath now circulating in England and AAmerica, they in turn borrowed ideas for anti-Catholic propaganda from the Elizabethans

The charge by Oates that Jesuits had offered a large reward for the assassination of Charles IL was merely a variation of previous charges in the reign of Elizabeth and James I, many of them directed principally against Father Parsons; all stirring up hatred by the trial and conviction of recusants accused of complicity in the invented plots

Typical was the trial of Edward Savage in 1596, when the fear of Spanish invasion was acute and persecution had the double aim of strengthening the Establishment and arousing patriotic fervour He was accused, on his own confession, of plotting with Jesuits in Spain to poison Elizabeth and was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered On the scaffold he recanted, declaring that the confession was completely untrue and this confirmed the flat denial of the plot issued by Father Walpole, SJ., who had been named at the trial

Although reports of the trial appear in many cyclopedias and dav books (including the "Elizabethan Journal," published a few years ago) only the "Dictionary of National Biography" mentions the repudiation of Savage by the Jesuits and Savage's own recantation

For what purpose he invented his story we do not know He may have expected acquittal and reward as an informer He may have told it to escape torture, or as the result of torture Perhaps he was mentally unbalanced But greater mystery surrounds his conviction, which can be explained only by the corruption of the judiciary; for the evidence of his confession was entirelv without corroboration and was too fantastic to be accepted without investigation

A Savage to-day might be remanded by the magistrate for a

medical report, but he would certainly not be committed for trial. It is very doubtful. even, if the police would go so far as to charge him

Savage claimed to have been seduced from his allegiance to the Crown while a prisoner in Spain

There, he said, he met Father Richard Walpole, who, hearing that at one time he had been employed in the Royal stables, promised a reward if he would smear poison on the pommel of the Queen's saddle The poison would be conveyed by the Queen's hand to her mouth and no evidence would remain to connect Savage with responsibility for her death

After the plot had been explained to him, he continued, he described it to a priest in the Confessional and swore before the Blessed Sacrament to accomplish it Then Father Walpole gave him a glove which had a bladder of poison concealed in the palm With this Savage returned to England

To gain access to the stables was a simple matter, apparently, for Savage was able to attract sympathy in England as an exprisoner who had been 'questioned" by the Inquisition He described a melodramatic scene in which he walked over to the horse that had been saddled for Her Majesty, rested the poisoned glove on the pommel, and said loudly, "God Save the Queen' By way of anti-climax, the Queen "rode not abroad that day'' the horse was unsaddled, apparently without affecting the health of the groom, and no further attempt was made by Savage to assassinate her

On another occasion, he said, the glove was used to poison the

• P~rhaps the most interesting feature of the case was that allegation that Savage, having revealed the plot in the confessional had been betrayed by his·confessor If true, this meant that'an instance had been found of the breaking of the seal of the confessional; and one wonders why the historians and journalists who have given prominence to · the trial have never stressed this,very important point : It is curious, surely, that Savage figures in Protestant versions of the Elizabethan persecution as a self-confessed traitor and dupe of the Church, but never as a witness to the Protestant case against the Sacrament of Penance The Catholic Times"

It is a matter of common knowledge that some ceremonies common in the Orient, thought in earlier times connected with rites of a religious character, have at the present time, owing to changes in customs and ideas in the course of the centuries, no more than mere civil significance of filial respect for ancestors, of patriotic sentiment or of social amenity

Hence, in conformity with Canon 22 and with the approval of the late Pope Pius XI of blessed memory, this Sacred Congregation in the course of 1935 and 1936 established for the Ordinaries of Manchuria and of the Japanese Empire new norms, more in harmony with actual conditions at the present day AA short time ago, in their general session on December 4th, 1939, Their Eminences the Cardinals of the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda deliberated whether an analogous procedure ought not to be adopted also for other localities where it was clear that similar changes n circumstances had taken place with the lapse of time

After weighing carefully the arguments on both sides and consulting men of prudence and experience, these Eminent Fathers determined upon the following declarations:

1 Inasmuch as the Chinese Government has repeatedly and explicitly proclaimed that all are free to profess the religion they prefer and that it is foreign to its intentions to legislate or issue decrees concerning religious matters, and that, consequently, ceremonies performed or ordered by the public authorities in honour of Confucius do not take place with ntent to offer religious worship but solely for the purpose of promoting and expressing the honour due to a great man and proper regard for tradition; it is licit for Catholics to be present at commemorative functions held before a likeness or tablet of Confucius in Confucian monuments or schools

2 Hence it is not to be considered illicit, particularly if the Authorities should order it, to place in Catholic schools a likeness of Confucius or even a tablet inscribed with his name or to bow before such Where scandal may be feared, the right intention of Catholics should be made clear

Out of a total population of over 3,500,000, Catholics in Finland number only some 800 Finns and 600 foreigners The Vicariate of Finland is in charge of the Dutch Province of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of St Quentin The Mission is staffed by six priests, five Hollanders and one Italian They are assisted by four lav brothers of the same Society, tlree Hollanders and one Finn and by 15 Sacred Heart nuns, 13 Dutch, one Finn and one German When Russia nvaded Finland the majority of tlt Catholics ither went abroad or left the towns threatened by air bombardments and sought refuge in h o h tie country districts Th Vicar Apostolic, the Most. Re William Cobben, is for the moment in tockholm One priest is still in Helsinki and another in Turku The two priests stationed at Tirijoki left the town before it fell into the hands of the Russians

The children of the Catholic school Helsinki, accompanied by onepriest and five nuns havegone nto the country Another priest is probably still in Viborg, which has been evacuated from fear of Soviet air raids

of the fact that the oath on Chinese Rites, demanded of all priests in the Chinese Empire and other Kingdoms and Provinces boundingor adjacent to them" by Pope Benedict XIV in the Constituton Ex quo singulari of July 11, 1742, is not entirely consonant with recent norms laid down by this Sacred Congregation; and in consideration, moreover, of the fact that this same oath is nowadays wholly superfluous as a disciplinary measure, the same minent Fathers have decided that the obligation of taking this oath, wherever customarv in China or elsewhere, should be dispensed with. although all the other prescriptions of Pope Benedict XIV in so far as they have not been changed by aterinstructions, are to remain in force, notably the prohibition to discuss the question of Chinese Rites

When these views of the Eminent Fathers were referred to His Holiness, Pope Pius XII by the Cardinal Prefect of this Sacred Congregation in an audience on December 7, His Holiness deigned to approve and ratify them in every respect

3 It is to be tolerated that Catholic functionaries and students assist, f ordered to do so, at public ceremonies which bear some semblance of superstition, provided that, in accordance with Canon 1258, they remain passive and participate only in such outward marks of respect as may be regarded as purely civil in character, after declaring their intention, as above whenever this may seem necessary in order to avoid misinterpretation of their actions

4 Inclinations of the head and other signs of civil respect in presence of the dead or before their images or even before a tabletinscribedsimplywith the name of the defunct are also to he regards as licit and proper Furthermore in consideration

Phil Fontaine stretched lazily under the huge striped beach umbrella and shifted it slightly as the sun crept around Presently his friend Paul Trout came lumbering out of the sea like a friendly hippopotamus Dashing over the sand he collapsed on the beach just out of the umbrella's shade sending a liberal shower of salt-water and sand over Fontaine

"It's wonderful in, Phil,' he said with enthusiasm "That's more than I can say about it out,'' replied Fontaine wiping his legs with an acid air "You athletic souls ought to be confined in a special convulsive paradise all your own, instead of being permitted to molest innocent and intelligent bystanders ''

Trout gurgled with interior satisfaction "But Phil, old boy,' he spluttered, "you aren't a bystander, your'e a bylyer And poor anaemic souls like yourself should be in hospital and not permitted to clutter up the glad spaces of God's good earth "

Fontaine grunted and picked up his book gain "\What tosh are vou reading now?" inquired Trout, jumping on one eg with his head on the side Or am I being rude?"

Fontaine sighed like a man who has suffered much and said little "I don't think a person who constantly interrupts another with weak puns, frivolous questions or sical violence could conceivably be called rude,'' he explained patiently "But if it conveys anything to you, I'm reading Paul McGuire's 'Three Dead Men.' "

"Well, starve the crows! I thought it might be anything from Aristotle's Ethics' to 'Finnegan's Wake,' but a murder varn I think I'm about to have a stroke "

"So you will, you prize ass, if vou stav out ir that sun with that offensivey shorn pate " Trout crawled into the shade pulled his towel without ceremonv from under Fontaine's carefully arranged pillow Fontain lookec homicidal for a moment and then inquired in a voice of heavy irony

And what, my lliterate little play-mate, do you read-if you can?"

Oh I keep n touch with the new books-'Gone With the Wind,' Eden's 'Foreign Affairs' and that stuff "

"So you have a taste in pornography?"

Pornography? What the blazes are you talking about,''

"I mean that you read the modern junk and a good percentage of it s sheerly putrid I doi't suppose it ever occurred to you to make out some plan of reading Do you think that spasmodic method gets you anywhere either as regards instruction or amusement?"

"No," admitted Trout frankly, it has never occurred to me And l grant that the business of trying to pick a book does weigh a bit on the conscience at time I'm not referring so much to immoral books but to the idea that o is reading chiefly to pass the t1me And that seems suspiciously like wasting time "

Fontaine sat up with sudden energy and adjusted a pair of

again "You know, Paul," he said with {lish,_'it is

pose the vast mass of people read merely to pass the time, Which is like the habit of smoking and about as useful It makes the world like a vast prison of condemned souls, each waiting his turn and trying to distract his attention from the fatal day?

"Must you be so irrepressibly cheerful?" inquired Trout with a grin, None the less I must agree with you, But you cant have a plan of reading end read for real profit until you've got a universal philosophy"

"That's where you and I and every Catholic has the pull over the moderns We've got that universal outlook at least in embryo But it needs development I think about the most useful thing Catholic Action can do is to give its members a solid grip on the fndamental outlines of Catholic philosophy Until you've got the total concept you can't see the parts in intelligent perspective"

Quite so And that's why in a mad world, its learning is almost as mad as its pleasures Where education is not tending to mere technical utilitarianism it is certainly ending up n specialism Specialism unrelated to a btoad general culture and removed from the background of philosophy becomes merely disproportion and eccentricitv"

Fontaine ran his fingers through his hair "You can see its practical results chiefly in the Universities since the Reformation Since the Catholic philoophy has been ridiculed and discarded and the old liberal classical education gne by the board, the dons devote their entire lives to the exploration of some aspect of some aspect of cne 'subject' Then after a space they come out with some dictum which in itself may be quite true but alongside the totality of human knowledge and experience is openly downrightly false and ridiculous"

I think" said Fontaine 'that Frank Sheed summed up the danger of specialism ver well when he wrote that the eve was a beautiful organism but only in the setting of the human face Put an eye on a plate and you have a truly revolting spectacle"

Well and good But how do you justify detective yarns?"

"Oh" said Fontaine airily one doesnt, and in fact one mustnt read seriously nd for profit all the time Some time will necessarily need to be passed, human nature being what it is And of all the light, inconsequential ceading that offers to-day, stories of detection are about the onlv ones vou an tru:t for interest and decencv I ind it more liverting to read about a millionaire's corpse than about his nistress. Or gain, his death is often nore fascinating than his life."

What about the magazine habit?" queried Trout more in the mood for :.gument than in the quest for knowedge

Despite the tightening up of the regulations regarding imported stuff there is still a lot of real filth for sale ome of it is published locally I suppose there are some good magazines but one would spend the best years of one's life looking for them Of II that type of thing I think the "digests'' are at once more reliable and entertaining than anything else"

"It's not much use" reflected Trout 'worrving about bad literature because much of it has ceased to shock the populace"

"Perhaps," agreed Trout "but it s doing ncalculable harm all the same Cocaine doesn't cease from destroying you merely because your system grows used to it

"Well Catholics have little excuse for risking their souls and their children's They have an adequate weekly press the CTS pamphlets are wonderful reading and each city has its central library But if you ask Catholic editors or librarians what people read or how many read the reply would cause you to weep' "Well I can't stop just now But remind me to have a good weep next time you see me''

Polish War Victims and Local Dissent

We cannot but deprecate the attitude of a section of the press and of the municipal authorities in regard to the Polish War Victims' Relief Fund The dissenters base their objections on the grounds that it is anomalous to be sending aid to foreigners whilst there is social injustice in our midst But the poverty and social oppression that exists in our country has been with us a long time now, and it is merely wishful thinking to suppose that the money which may go to Poland would be devoted to the relief of our own poor, or if it were, that it would offer any real relief Even were the objection valid it would appear extremely ill-timed During the past few years the number of refugees from various countries has been growing-Czechs, Jews, Austrians and Spaniardsand for all these there have been adequate expressions of sympathey and practical measures of relief This was particularly marked in regard to the campaign for Spanish Relief which was a definitely partisan appeal, originating frm inspired sources Yet when the Poles appear they are subjected to discriminatory treatment

Is it logical? Oi all the refugees that have been assisted morally or financially by Australians none has a greater or more pressing claim on us than the victims of the war in Poland We were intimately connected with their fate nasmuch as we were a party to a guarantee of their national ntegrity and t was under the assurance of that promise that they endeavoured to resist the aggression In point of fact we were unable practically to mplement our assurances and Poland was subjugated in less than three weeks This was a major tragedy for the civilised world, fof Poland has played an historic part as the bulwark of European culture and religion Poland's overthrow was, moreover, the signal for the Russian vulture to commence its depredations upon what it regarded as the carcass of Europe When we recall that the last Australian money to be sent abroad went to aid a people whom that same Russian duplicity had deluded into a civil war, and to the exclusive relief of the friends of the Soviet, this matter of Polish Relief would seem a gesture f reparation, even had we no higher motive

Poland's need at the moment s dire beyond words Europe is in the grip of the severest winter in 75 years, and n both the German and the Russian administration of the country wholesale persecution is taking place A Vatican broadcast during the week revealed that 7O per cent of the populace are threatened by starvation while religious practice has become a crime This is not the time to be complaining of our own petty disorders For, n any case there is no parity in the analogy Or if it appear ncongruous, we could point to a dozen more noteworthy incongruities What of the abnormal defence expenditure, for instance? And why should we complacently offer the hospitality of our shores to a Jewish colonv while we slam the door n the face of our allies, the Poles?

There s undoubtedly some vagueness and even some dissent about our war aims But on this one point there is no disagreementThat the post-war settlement must include the restoration of Poland It was for this we embarked on the horrors of war and it is for this that we will prosecute it to the end It is to be hoped that the petty spirit of a minority will not deter us from the urgent duty of sending practical relief to the war-stricken Poles

"NO SHAM PEACE"

LONDON

"We want peace, but not a sham peace, dependent on brute force, lying propaganda, or the violation of solemn pledges Not a peace secured by the use of barbarous weapons of war or the indiscriminate blowing up of ships by mines and submarines to gratify the unbridled ambition of a tryant,"' said Mgr Howlett in Westminster Cathedral on Christmas Day

"We want a true peace that will end the war against God, the reign of terror and unrest among men, and restore confidence among the nations A peace that will secure personal liberty and enable every man to worship God according to the light of his own reason, and in obedience to the voice of his own conscience

"It is to secure such a peace that we are at war to-day We thank God Who has given, us wise and prudent statesmen to guide the destinies of England in this time of trial We thank Him for the splendid heroism with which He has inspired our sea land and air forces, and those of our Allies, to carry on the struggle on which the future

peace and happiness of the world depends

The Real Peace

"Meanwhile let us give God His own in the whole-souled homage of our Faith, our hope and our obedience to His divine law, and He will give us in return the peace which the world cannot give-the peace of God which surpasseth all understanding"

ADDRESSING OF MAIL MATTER TO MEMBERS OF THE FORCES

of Pope's Ill-Health Denied.

Rumours which were spread about by certain foreign news agencies (and which appeared in some sections of the British Press) to the effect that the Pope's health was giving cause for alarm were categorically denied in Rome

There were no grounds for such rumours, and there had been no change in the Holy Father's routine Public and private audiences continue as usual

British Institute of Rome

The British Ambassador to Italy has inaugurated the British Institute of Rome" The ceremony had a special significance owing to the facet that the Institute intends to promote better cultural relations between England and Italy, just as the "Dante Alighieri'' fosters Italian Culture abroad.

The British Council, as was said during the ceremony, recognises the influence of Italian literature on English thought and intends to convey the results of such influence back to the (talian people Chaucer and Milton were mentioned as well as Shakespeare nd other authors who have made England a "land of Letters"

Pope Pius XI's Monuments

The Cardinalitial Commission appointed by his Holiness for the erecttion of a monument to the late Pope in St Peter's has begun its work together with the Commission of the Archconfraternity of the Lombards in Rome, representatives from Milan, from Desio and from other Lombard towns, to arrange for the erection of a worthy monument to the late Pope on the sarcophagus in the Crypt of St Peter's, where his remains now rest The monument will be unveiled on June 29, 1940, Feast of St Peter The famous Benedictine architect and sculptor, Rev Albert Gresnigt, is responsible for the execution of the monument in collaboration with the painter, Piero d'Achiardi The sculptor of the monument itself will be Professor Castiglioni,

The magnificent Hall of Villa Patrizi could not contain all those who had come to via Margutta to hear tne Ambassador and the Right Hon Lord Lloyd of Dolobran speak of the cultural relations which the Institute intends to intensify between the two peoples

His late Holiness will also be commemorated on the exterior of the apse of the church of San Carlo al Corso This apse abuts on to the new square behind the mausoleum of Augustus, and the position chosen is admirable Two statues one of St Charles and the other of St Ambrose by the sculptors Dazzi and Selva, will flank two inscriptions on marble, one commemorating the fact that Achille Ratti celebrated his first Mass in the church, and the other that the Lateran Treaty was signed during his Pontificate The great window of the apse will thus be framed by these inscriptions. Below it will be erected a fountain with the arms of Pope Pius XI The whole group of statues and inscriptions, including the fountain, will he most et fective

On January 23rd, a ceremony of Profession was held at St John of God Convent, Subiaco, when at the 7 o'clock Mass, celebrated by Very Reverend Dr Kennedy Adm Sister Mary Mercy Casey (of Leederville, WA), and Sister Mary Claver Lavery (of Ballarat, Victoria), had the privilege of making their final vows. The Profession Ceremony was followed by the Ceremony of Reception when Sister Mary Brand (Leederville) Sister Mary Leander Griffin and Sister Mary Colombiere Connolly (both from Co Mayo, Eire), were clothed in the religious habit of the Institute Dr Kennedy was assisted by the Convent Chaplain, Rev Fr Lyne, Rev Fr Laws CS.S R., preached the oc casional sermon, and the Convent Choir rendered the Sacred Music SERMON Addressing the Sisters Father Laws said that they had come that morning to witness a scene such as only the Catholic Church could show to the world, of young and generous souls putting aside all that the world held dear, to embrace instead the poor life and the humble garb of religious sisters and to devote their lives to the care of the sick and suffering Like the sister of Martha thev had chosen to give up all things to make sure of that one thing that is so necessary, and they had the assurance of their Divine Spouse that like Mary they had chosen the better part All the riches and pleasures of the world were but as dust compared to that eternal crown that would be the reward of their sacrifice to God that morning. Yet if they strove to live perfectly according to the spirit of their holy state, if they were generous with Him who had been so generous with them, if they bore all things patiently and bravely for His love, they would experience the truth of His words: My yoke is sweet and My burden light I assure you," concluded the preacher, "that for every sacrifice you are asked to make in religion, the world demands a hundredfold more and is less grateful; for every act of selfdenial you are called upon to make in your religious life the world exacts mcre and is less grateful; for every prayer you offer in religion the votaies of the vorld expend far more energy and are less repaid"

Father L: ws then congratulated the sisters on the choice they had made and rejoiced with all those, especially their parents who had assisted and helped them bv their prayers to make sure of that choice

Diocesan Teachers

Here again much will depend on the teachers' preparation from now onwards There are so many valuable references on the Sacraments of Penance and the Blessed Eucharist listed n The Perth Scheme «cf, especially pp 40-41 and 29-30) that one of them should be available to every teacher ot these gsades, into which he, or she, will aip frequently during the months before the conference In larger communities, where there are several teachers of the same group-ages, one of these books could be read and discussed in common

For the teaching of prayers to the little ones we recommend Father Roche, SJ -any of his books: A Child's Prayer to Jesus, The Children's Bread, Talks for Little Ones (English CTS ), is worth careful reading For the Mass some one of the books of reference listed in our text book should be read To rekindle the spark o enthusiasm for the Missal, we recommend teachers of pupils of 12 years end upwards to read slowly and meditatively the books by Father Martindale SJ, eg., The Mind of the Missal, The Words of the Missal The Prayers cf the Missal For social topics, the CTS. pamphlets are excellent The Catholic Evidence Guild in Secondary Schools, by Sister M Anselm (E J Dwyer, Sydney; price 1/3), outlines the method that can be used in this group

The Subject Matter of Religion

This conference will be the foundation of a series that will continue each vear until the whole content of Christian Doctrine is discussed and understood We are concentrating on what we are to teach For years past we have emphasised the how of teaching religion, and the ideal and spirit in all we teach is now well grasped In my recent book: Teaching to Think in Religion (E J Dwyer, Sydney) a copy of which has been sent to every school in the Archdiocese, the ideal is presented and application made to our work in the class-rooms It is a small book, but it is my earnest hope that it will set our minds working, questioning and reviewing our teaching of religion for if we do not lead our pupils to think about their Faith, then we are just beating the air, and we have not equipped them to face the conditions of living when the school gates close upon them for the last time Reading this book will stimulate teachers to prepare better for their great work If there is no time for preparation, well then we are neglecting the one thing necessary l wish to thank most sincerely those priests who have undertaken to lead the group discussions The teachers will welcome this new form of conference, and they will appreciate it The priest-leaders have promised to send me a detailed synopsis of their talks which we hope to have printed as a booklet, so that each teacher will have a copy while attending the discussions The onlv return the priest-leaders ask of the diocesan teachers is that they come in all humility to learn something more about the difficult work of Religious Education Consequently, note taking is recommended during the group talks All teachers attending the conference lectures are requested to bring with them-

I A copy of The Perth Scheme

2 A copy of The Catechism (the large red one)

3. A copy of Pray the Mass (Part I for Elementary Schools ; Part II for High Schools)

4 A note book 5 Some copies of Teaching to Think in Religion.

EVACUATED CHILDREN TO HAVE FAITH PROTECTED

The French Minister of Public Health. M Marc Rucart, has promised in the Chamber of Deputies that all evacuated children will have their religion respected, as far as possible, and will be sent to schools chosen by their parents

This was in reply to a question from M Louis Marin, Catholic Deputy for Nancy, who accused the Minister of an ambiguous reply to a demand from Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris, concerning the education of the children

M Rucart is a well-known anticlerical Freemason and M Marin told him:: "Words are not sufficient; I await acts "

LITURGICAL CT€CHISM

THE COMMUNION

Q What follows upon the sacrificial action of the Canon?

A The sacrificial repast or Communion

Q Is the Communion ike the consecration, of the essence cf the Sacrifice of the Mass?

A The Communion belongs not to the essence but to the integrity of the Sacrifice; in other words the Sacrifice is not completed without Communion

Q On what basis does the idea of the Communion being a sacrificial repast rest,

A On the words of Our Divine Lord Himself at the Last Supper: This is Mv Bodv which is given for vou sacrificed for vour salvation or in vour stead) This is the Chalice, the New Testament in My Blool, which shall be shed for you" (Luc, xxii 19, 20), and on the words of St Paul: 'The Chalice of benediction, which we bless is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ? and the bread, which we break is it not the partaking of the Bodv of the Lord" (I Cor x, 16)

Q What therefore is the Church's view of the Holy Communion as conveyed in the liturgy of the Mass?

the Victim which we in union with the priest have offered up in sacrifice ef Kramp)

Q As the sacrificial repast follows upon the Sacrifice of the Victim what is necessary in order that the faithful should participate most actively and most fully in the liturgy of the Mass?

A Since the faithful unite with the priest n offering up the Holy Sacrifice they should like him partake of the Victim offered up

Q Has that ideal been ever realised in the history of the Church?

A The ea:lv Christianswhose spirit of Church's liturgy alone can revivereceived Holy Communion at every Mass they attended

Q Is that ideal of conduct still the mind of the Church?

A The Council of Trent 'would wish that at every Mss the faithful who are present should communicate ot merelv spiritually but sacramentally by the reception of the Eucharst so that they may derive more abundant fruits from the Most Holy Sacrifice"

Pius X urged parish priests, confessors and preachers to exhort the faithful in frequent and zealous discourse to the protice of daily Communion

O If Holy Communion be not possible or convenient for us, what should we do instead in order to increase our participation in the Mass?

A Holy Communion is a partaking of the Victim that has been offered up in sac:ifice upon the altar In return for the supreme honour we have rendered to God by offering up to Him in sacrifice the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, God invites us to His Holy Table, to the Lord's Supper, and gives us as the food of our soul the very Body and Blood of Jesus Christ

A, We should make a spiritual Communion in every Mass we attend at the time of the priest's Communion, thus uniting ourselves at east spiritually with the Divin Victim of the Altar

To Give Up Trying is The Only Failure

Many persons trying to lead the good life have to face a terrible trial -the persistence of some habit of sin in spite of persevering recourse to the sacraments and prayer Some of such habits, n consequence of long persistence or of abnormal conditions of body nerve and the like, may get to the point of being humanly speakmg incurable, and then the grave danger s of giving everything up as a bad job and simply drifting But on this there are two things to be said

The first is that in response to persistent, persevering prayer, some great and special grace may suddenly come that will clear the trouble away, Many extraordinarv answers of this kind to prayer have been known, and if they cannot ordinarily be looked for, they must at least not be excluded-and this alone is a great encouragement to persevere And secondly, even if the struggle has to last to the end of ife, final victory s assured to perseverance in

More than 3,000.000 of the 5,000,000 Christians in China are Catholics, Bishop Yu-Pin, Vicar AApostolic of Nanking, said n an interview when he visited Los Angeles

Bishop Yu-Pin said that the popular belief of most Americans that most Chinese Christians are non-Catholics arises from the fact that most non-Catholic Christans are from the Cantonese districts from which come most ot the Chinese emigrants to the United States

The Bushies'

DEAR CORNERITES,-Last Sunday as you probably noticed the priest wore purple vestments at Mass and you probably wondered why when it is so soon after Christmas Well the secret lies in the fact that Lent comes ea ly this year and the 2lst was Septuagesima Sunday For three Sundays previous to Ash Wednesday the priest wears purple to give the faithful ade quate warning of the approach of the penitential season leading to the great feast of the Resurrection Think about Lent now and make good resolutions to begin well on Ash Wednesday Monday is the feast of St Francis de Sales, one of the Church's most honoured Saints He was born of noble and pious parents near Anneey in 1567 and studied with brilliant success at Paris and at Pedua On is return from Italy he gave up the grand carver which his father had marked out for him in the services of the State and renouncing his claim to the Earldom of Sales became a priest During the course of his mission he was rejected with insults and often threatened with death, but finally he triumphed and converted over 72,000 Calvinists He was made Bishop of Geneva and later founded the Order of the Visitation which spread over all Europe He had a sweet and gentle manner and had a favourite saying 'You will catch more flies with a spoonful of honey than with a hundred barrels of vinegar" SANDY

What is Best?

The Communist movement the world over has at last, mainly through Russia's hideous blunder over Finland, become a real and immediate problem for Governments Although the democracies are not officially at war with the Soviet, they are by no means neutral or indifferent to her flagrant aggression against the Finns Even neutrals like America, Belgium and Holland are sending practical aid in addition to Britain and France In all civilised nations there is a tremendous reaction aganst Communism and its supporters But here lies the precise difficulty For the democracies with their false notion of liberty are at first hesitant to do anything about the menace, and then when action seems imperative they can think of nothing but suppression which is a tactic of extremely dubious value

The dilemma is illustrated adequately by the Australian scene Following some disturbances on the Sydney Domain, the Federal Leader of the Country Party demanded, in unequivocal language the complete suppression of Communist activities throughout Australia Mr Thorby, on the other hand, was inclined to dismiss the whole thing as of little account Now Mr Cameron's suggestion runs the risk of driving the Party underground where being secret it would be more dangerous While Mr Thorby forgets that all successful revolutionarv movements have been run bv minorities At the time of the Russian Revolution the Tzar did not think the Communists of sufficient significance even toattempt their suppression He was sadly mistaken The minority broke him and his regime and that same minority, less than two per cent of the Russian population rules to-day in a manner familiar to us all

America has grown very perturbed over these same subversive movements The Dies Commission has for some time been investigating "un-American" activities of the Comintern and the Bund and the network of their influence in key positions in the national life has profoundly disturbed public feeling. France, so long a victim of the ineptitude and treachery of the Left Wing, is at length taking stern and decisive measures against the Reds England has as yet taken no action What concerns us most, however, is what is the best attitude or line of action that Australia can adopt towards the Communist Partv So far as negative measures are concerned it seems idle to deprive the Communists of the right of free speech That would only make martyrs of them Their press is another matter The press generally is not free ancl there seems no reason why a good many Red publications could not be closed down But most vitally, the receipt or despatch of money to or from foreign countries should be stop-

ped. That would cause a number of comrades, who at present have enough leisure to create mischief to taste the pleasures of honest toil

But negative measures of themselves will avail nothing Everyone vaguely looks to the postwar settlement not only to bring vast changes in the international political structure but also real domestic social reform Unless the war precipitates this we shall have largely fought in vain No mere reshuffle of the politcal order can atone for social injustce The only effective answer to Communism is the removal of the social evils of which they rightly complain Government by the money power must cease, the large trusts, combines and monopolies must be broken and above all, there must be a widespread distribution of ownership These are the social notions of the Catholic Church but they are not exclusively Catholic because they arise out of the natural law It would seem that the time is ripe for some political expression of these theories which will transcend mere party politics and embody true national aspiration Thus and thus only may we hope to destroy the Red menace

M 4 Fr. Coughlin and The Christian

Front

Following the arrest on the 14th inst of 18 members of the Christian Front in New York (on charges of conspiracy to create a revolution, overthrow the Government and establish a dicatorship), a report from Washington four days ago later announced that the Department of Justice had asked the New Cork District Attorney to investigate the alleged connection of Father Coughlin with the Christian Front This decision, it was stated, followed a request by 16 educationists and clergymen As was indicated in our issue of the I8th inst there is not the slightest ground for associating Father Coughlin with the Christian Front Months before the G-men acted against the Christian Front, the "radio priest" publicly denied any official connection with it and frequently condemned its aims and methods That the leaders of the organisation should have used his name to lend prestige to their movement s unjust, cowardly and unscrupulous

It may reasonably be hoped that if the Christian Front leaders are Catholics (as they claim to be) they will exonerate Father Coughlin when they stand on trial For there is verv much more at stake than the reputation of a single priest So great s Father Coughlin's influence through his broadcasting, that the unthinking mass will readily identify his activities with those of the whole priesthood and the Church generally Not that there

Comment

is anything to fear from an investigation, because as has been already pointed out, Father Coughlin despite two rebukes from his superiors, has never been accused of unsound doctrine or of inciting to rebellion or armed force against lawful government No priest and no Cathie could justly do that But the very tact that his activities wi!} be probed will create suspicion in the minds of the ill-informed (ad they are legion) no matter although the final result completely exonerated the priest The petition by the educationists and clergymen is to be regretted if not as a sectarian gesture which might bring religion generally into disrepute, then at least as an unconsidered reaction of panic

How Fare The Schools

A report in our morning contemporary on tie State Gove nment Statistician's survey of Education for 1938-39 was not reassuring from the standpoint of religious education The average weekly enrolment at Government primary schools was 57,510 Special religious instruction hclergymen representing nine different den mintions was given to an average total attendance of 42,984 scholars Tis means that some fourteen and a half thousand children received no religious ? nstruction mn the schools The clerevmen are apparently doing all that they can The fault seems therefore to lie with the parents who are indifferent whether their children receive religious instruction or are actively opposed to it And the attendance at religious classes had fallen from the previous year Where is it going to end, if every year over 25 per cent of the children in the State schools never hear the name of God or of Jesus Christ or of the Ten Commandments Are Cathoics merely ranting when they claim that secularism in education means godless schools and a materialistic society?

Supposing that every child at the Government schools received regular religious instruction, the position would still be far from satisfactory It would do nothing - 2 to remove the Catholic objections to the secular svstem of education. For the division of relision from the other subjects is essentiallv unreal and artificial The materialism of modern societv is directly attributable to this "departmentalisation" of life and the keeping of religion out of the everyday business of life Farthermore, once vou put religion down as a mere subject on the curriculum (and an optional one at that) you tend to break down the barriers between the sacred and the profane Religion mav become of some academic interest but its power as a vital force will be irrevocably lost A further point of interest in the statisti-

MISSIONS IN AFRICA NOT HIT BY WAR AS WAS FEARED.

ROME Reports indicate that the situation in the African mission field is, for the moment, less serious than had been at first feared when war broke out

At the outbreak about twothirds of the White Fathers working in French West Africa were called to the colours

Of a staff of 19 missionarv priests in charge of one prefecture 16 were mobilised Subsequently the situation eased somewhat, the authorities releasing several missionaries from military duties to allow them to return

News from British East Airica is even more satisfactory White Fathers there have been allowed to remain undisturbed at their posts

Where the effects of the war are most felt at present is in seminaries and novitiates of the various French missionary societies

Most of the theological students of the Lvons African Mission Society and of the White Fathers have been drafted into he French Army

230 PRIESTS HELD IN SOVIET PRISONS

The number of conversions to Catholicism in Russia after 1905 became so great that the Orthodox Church decided that the Catholics should not increase in numbers, said Fr M Quinlan S5 , lecturing in Dublin

When the Bolshevik revolution broke out in 1917, he said, there was great freedom of Catholic worship for two years; the Bolsheviks were then too busv with civil war to bother much about religion

But by 1922 there were about 500 priests in Russia, and of that number 250 died in prison-and there are at present about 230 still imprisoned
