HISTORIC TRIP T

HE SURPRISE DECISION OF POPE

VISIT THE HOLY. LAND WILL MAKE HISTORY ON THREE COUNTS. PAUL

VI TO

His visit to the birthplace of Christianity between January 4 and 6 will be the first time a Pope has set foot on Holy Land soil since St. Peter left Palestine. This v:sit will also be the first time a Pope has left Italy since the time of Pius VII, who was taken prisoner to France by Napoleon in 1809. It will also be the longest trip made by any Pope and the first journey by air by a reigning Pontiff. It has been stressed that the Holy Father's motives for making the trip are strictly religious. Sources said he was making the pilgrimage to the land where Christianity originated as a matter of personal devotion and to implore heavenly guidance for himself and the Ecumenical Council. Other side-effects of the papal pilgrimage could be— an easIng of relations with the Jews; • a possible opening to settle religious arguments over the Holy Places; • and in the interests of peace in the frontier situation between Jordan and Israel. The Holy Places are in both nations.

Analysis Of Second Session Shows Steady Drive To Main Aim The Ecumenical Council's second session took up the ecumenical and pastoral lead from Pope Paul VI's opening address and made a slow but steady drive towards "aggiornamento" — bringing the Church up to date. The session started its business on September 30 with a study of the nature of the Church—a critical analysis that included self -criticism—and advanced on November 18 to debates on ecumenism which covered what the Church must do for Christian unity. Seemingly endless debates were occasionally sparked with sharp clashes. Speeches on the council floor promoting the "new order" were answered with arguments for the "old order" in a process that seemed like stalemate. But when issues were put to a vote, the new order overwhelmingly won out. The council Fathers— VOTED clearly in favour of giving bishops a larger role in governing the universal Church; APPROVED a reform simplifying the Church's public worship and bringing modern languages in the Mass and sacraments; ADOPTED a set of principles on the Church's use of press, television and radio; VOTED in favour of restoring the deacon as a permanent member of today's Catholic clergy. THE SESSION SHOWED UNMISTAKABLY THAT THE NEW ORDER IS TO REPLACE THE OLD.

Secrecy Lifted The rule of secrecy Which covered almost everything that took in the council hall place during the first session (October 11 to December 7, 1962) w as eased during the second session. Archbishop Pericle Felici, the council's general secretary, explained at the session's first general meeting that secrecy was 1 :aw 1 texts limited to the actual of the proposed .s ichemas and the work of ri!clividual council commissions. Direction of the council's work was taken over by f our m oderators—Leo Cardinal Julius Suenens of Belgium, Cardinal Doepfner of Munich, Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro of Bologna,

a n d Gregorio Cardinal Agagianian, Prefact of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith. Sixty-three non-Catholic religious leaders came for the second session of the council, which opened on September 29, as observerdelegates or guests of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity. This was 18 more than those at the first session.

Layman's Part Pope Paul gave laymen an official role at the council for the first time. He named 15 lay auditors. Their role, according to a council press bulletitn, was to help in the work of

the council. The bulletin said that they might "be called upon to give their advice to the conciliar commissions." Cardinal Suenens urged strongly that more lay auditors be named, including women, "since women constitute one - half the population of the world." He also said there should be representatives from the "great congregations of Brothers and Sisters who contribute so significantly to the apostolic work of the Church."

Curia Reform

"episcopal possibly an senate" to work with the Pope, was talked over in the council hall. And on the last day of the session, the Pope was to publish a document increasing the powers of bishops.

Tone Set Pope Paul set the tone of the session in a moving opening address on September 29. He told of his "deep sadness" at the "prolonged separatIon" of the Catholic Church and other Christian Churches. The Pope said that the "principle concern" of the session would be to "examine the intimate nature of the Church." The Church must be seen as totally Christ-centred, he said, if the council's ;-nain objectives were to be rightly understood.

Just a week before the council opened, Pope Paul said in a speech to the members of the Roman Curia, on September 12, that the curia, the central administrative body of the Church, had "grown ponderous with its own venerable age."

Where He Will Visit . . .

7:_y Arriving by plane after a two-hour j'et flight from Rome, the Holy Father will visit the Holy Land as a pilgrim, January 4 to 6. This panoramic view shows three of the leading landmarks of Jerusalem in Jordan. At the lower right is the Franciscan "Church of All Nations:" at the left of the church is the Garden of Gethsemane where Christ spent his last hours of agony before the Crucifixion; on the upper left is the Mount of Olives whence He ascended into Heaven.

CHARTERED AIRCRAFT FOR TWO CHARTERED AIRCRAFT WILL ARRIVE AT PERTH AIRPORT BRINGING DELEGATES TO THE UNIVERSITIES CATHOLIC FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIA CONVENTION ON JANUARY 1. The airlift has been organised by the Melbourne Newman Society to overcome holiday period transport difficulties. The theme of the convention, which commences on January 2, will be the r elationship between "The Church and the Popular Arts," and will centre around talks and discussion. Among those who will be giving talks will be Dr. Bertrand Adderley, B.A. (Hons), Dip.Ed., who is the present Director of Education for the Sunbury Diocese. Together with Mrs. J. Dunphy, he will be giving the talk on the "Church and Song." Other lecturers will include Monsignor J. Bourke and Brother Mannion, who is at present writing a thesis for his M.A. Many colourful personalities will visit Perth for the convention. These will include former West Australian Father Challis, O P., and Gai Fitzgerald, who designed the Crucifix for the Sydney Cathedral. Father E. J. Stormon, the Chaplain of this Convention, said: "The forthcoming U.C.F.A. Convention will give those attending an opportunity for grappling with two important problems. What is the

effect on contemporary minds (our own included) of the widely diffused artforms of today (e.g. the the film)? What opportunities do the typical present-day media offer for expressing a Christian vision of life? The answer to these questions will involve a reassessment of the Church's relationship to the arts in the changed society of today." The delegates will be staying at St. Thomas More College, St. Catherine's College and Kingswood College. The lectures and discussions will be held at the University. These will be open to the public, at a slight charge. Those interested should contact the U.C.F.A. Secretary, c/o St. Thomas More College, telephone 86-5080. Among the features of the convention will be a film evening and a drama evening at which two plays will be presented, "A Phoenix Too Frequent." by Christopher Fry, and "The Farce of the Devil's Bridge," by Andre Gayon. The convention will begin with a High Mass at St. Mary's Cathedral, and will include a highly unusual religious feature—.a Ukrainian (Eastern Rite) Mass.

Blessed Virgin . .On October 29, the

Fathers decided in a close vote (1,114 to 1,074) to include their declaration on the Blessed Virgin in the schema on the .nature of the Church rather than in a separate schema. Explaining this decision. Father Bernard Haering, C.SS.R., a council expert. said after the meeting that it was a matter of expressing the fullness of the doctrine on the Blessed Virgin in a balanced perspective and presenting the veneration of Mary in its proper relation to the adoration of Christ. The debate on the nature of the Church clearly showed that the issues of the collegiality of bishops and the restoration of the permanent diaconate were two of the major issues at the session. A new procedural devise was introduced on October 30 which let the moderators gauge the thinking of the Fathers without extending the .interminable number of arguments for and against.

Collegiality The moderators submitted five questions for a vote. Four of them dealt with the idea of the "collegiality" of bishops and the vote explained what the Fathers understand by that unfamiliar term — episcopal consecration is the highest grade of the sacrament of Holy Orders; every bishop, who is in union with all the bishops and the Pope, belongs to the body or college of bishops; the college of bishops succeeds the college of Apostles and, together with the Pope, has full and supreme power over the whole Church; the college of bishops, in union with the Pope, has this power by divine right With their affirmative answer to the fifth question, the bishops showed

they thought the diaconate should be restored as a distinct and permanent rank in the sacred ministry. It was a permanent rank in the early Church, but it has become, in the Western Church, just a step to the priesthood. The balloting was to serve as a guide to the Theological Commission in revising the chapter dealing with the hierarchy in the schema on the nature of the Church.

Criticism A four-day recess followed the October 30 vote, and when the council reconvened it seemed to have gained momentum The November 5 meeting saw the start of biting criticism of the Roman curia and serious charges of tampering with the schema presented to the council on "Bishops and the Government of Dioceses," the fifth chapter of De Ecclesia. Archbishop Leo Binz of St. Paul, U.S.A., a member of the Commission for Bishops and the Government of Dioceses, called the schema an "unhappy schema" with "no real introduction, no connecting link and no real conclu-

MUTUAL SELF-GIVING WHICH ENDS WITH SELFRECOVERY AND THE BEGINNING OF A FAMILY. OVE which deliberately frustrates self-recovery could produce dual selfishness. It could be likened to a perpetual change in barter like commerce between t w o shipwrecked sailors on a desert isle, yielding no profit to others or to themselves, and with no other destiny but to be consumed in the useless fire their own hearts had kindled. Love is a loan from the Heart of God, and must not be buried in a napkin. It must be paid back again to Him in fruit. The child who is born now gives concrete expression to that love they always spoke of as "ours." Lovers always imply that the love that binds them together is something more than the sum or addition of one and one making two. Implied is the idea that there is some bond outside of them, stronger than. either, uniting them both. As the Holy Spirit is the great bond of love between Father and Son, the child now becomes "'our love" in the flesh.

;

THE MISSION OF LOVE

SURVIVAL THROUGH LOVE IN THE MOTHER, particularly, redemption vests itself because she becomes the sacristan and the guardian, the trustee and the wardress of their love. No longer is she the instrument for satisfying a passing fascination, a banquet to be consumed and forgotten; but rather, his life mate, the increaser and the multiplier of their image, of their virtues and their grace. Here in the child is found the challenge to death. For their survival in new life is the conquest of death and the pledge of their own immortality. Like the burning bush that Moses saw, their love burns but is not consumed, for it produces the vision of a new creature of God. The modern age, which is so keen on enthroning sex, may not be far from the truth when they say, "Love is God," for if they

would enter a little further into the mystery, they would see that what they must learn is that God is Love. This is true not only because their love is an incarnation, such as Christ in the cradle or the stable, but it is also a Saviour as Christ on Calvary, for the child is the redeemer or the saviour of their love from death.

LOVE summoned them first to be creators in the broad sense that they create their love, thanks to God's power. Thus there is a gradual crescendo of love. First, almost with childish minds they say that God does not forbid them to love. Then they understand a little later on that God, being love, has united them one to another, and has placed in them a great hope for continuing His creation. Then they discover successively the joy of loving one another for God; then of loving God in the other, and then of loving the other with the very love of God Himself. Their love then becomes a kind of an Advent, preparing for the coming of the Messias or Christ. It is a temporal mission with great, eternal consequences. The weakness of human affections never suffices (or a lasting love. They are bu. two empty vessels, and each of them must be filled with the wine of God. #14,11.0

Bishop Futon Sheen . . .

Holy Father Effected A Speed-Up Ten bishops from nine English - speaking nations started drawing up plans for a common English-language text for the Mass and the sacraments. The ten bishops are calling on liturgical experts, biblical scholars, musicians and experts in English style to help draw up a suitable English text. While the council was discussing giving greater recognition to the role of laymen in the Church— covered in the third chapter of De Ecclesia—a U.S. prelate, Bishop Robert E. Tracy, of Baton Rouge, in the southern State of Louisiana, asked - for a council declaration against racial discrimination. Archbishop Lawrence J. Shehan of Baltimore, called for a full and accurate treatment of the question of Church and State. Both spoke in the name of all the U.S. Bishops. The U.S. Bishops objected to the schema's phrase ''regrettable separation,' holding that the American experience of separation has not been regrettable but very good.

RECORD

The reorganisation provided that— * Each commission be increased to 30 members ( from the normal 25); • Each commission, after getting its new members, was to elect a vicepresident and a vice-secretary. The Pope's move was greeted as an ideal solution to a problem which worried many of t h e Fathers. It gave the hope

of breaking through an impasse caused by foot dragging on the part of a minority determined to stall the majority. Some observers felt it would have been better to choose completely new commissions. this But would have been an outright challenge to the authority now in the hands of high curia officials and a cause of unhelpful friction. The council commissions will be laying the groundwork for the council's third session, set for September 14 to November 20, 1964. In the debate on ecumenism, the Fathers discussed way to encourage ecumenical relations with non-Catholics. Among the measures recom mended were—recognising the validity of mixed marriages before non-Catholic ministers, permission to attend non-Catholic religious services a n d co-operating with non-Catholics in the intellectual field. Time ran out before discussion reached the last two chapters (on relations with Jews and on religious liberty) of the ecumenism schema, but the Fathers were assured that the two chapters will be among the first items on the agenda for the third session. In a speech at Rome's Canadian College, Cardinal Suenens said that the moderators could have insisted that the two controversial chapters be brought to a vote but had decided not to do so.

VALUABLE FIND Of MORE SCROLLS

JERUSALEM: A scroll containing Chapters 81 to 85 of the Book of Psalms has been unearthed at Massada, the last stronghold of the Jews during their revolt against the Romans in 73 A.D. The professor who is directing them archaeological work at Massacla, Yigael Yadin, is a son of the Hebrew University professor who fouud the first of the valuable Dead Sea Scrolls in 1948. Two scrolls and a fragment are in the Massada find. The Psalm text, written in a fine script, is apparently the Massoretic version. The second scroll bears a resemblance to the Dead Sea Scrolls. The fragment may be part of the second scroll or a separate document. The delicate discoveries have not yet been unrolled. EARLIEST FOUND The dating of the Dead Sea Scrolls has been disputed, but Professor Yadin stated that there can be no doubt about the date of the present finds, since they must have pre-dated the fall of Massada in 73 A.D. They were discovered among baskets, cloth and sandals in a room generally believed to have been a synagogue—the earliest yet found. The Massada fortress is being excavated along with the Palace of Herod and a

In other rooms inside the fortress jugs with family names have been found. These were apparently part of the rations of the Jewish zealots who held out against the Romans. In Herod's palace more than four hundred suits of armour have been unearthed, along wtih arrow heads, a woman's plait of brown hair in good condition, two skeletons, cloth and a pair of sandals.

By MONSIGNOR JAMES I . TUCEK V ATICAN CITY.—A list of forty faculties, or powers, was granted to bishops of dioceses by Pope Paul VI in his motu proprio, Pastorale Munus, promulgated here on December 3. The document was dated November 30, the feast of St. Andrew, but was promulgated on December 3 on the occasion of the solemn the of commemoration f ourth centenary of the Council of Trent. Most of the faculties granted would be meaningless to the general body of Catholics. They have particular importance for diocesan chancery offices, relieving them of the burdensome and time-consuming tasks of making a special request each time the faculties are needed. The faculties pertain to extraordinary circumstances in the administration of the sacraments and to the adcertain of ministration goods and properties held by a diocese. ALREADY DONE HERE Those faculties having immediate effect on parish life have to do with the celebration of Mass. Bishops of dioceses, for example, may permit their priests for a just reason to celebrate Mass twice on weekdays and thrice on Sundays and Holy Days. According to the new faculties, bishops of dioceses may allow priests afflicted with poor eyesight or some other infirmity to celebrate the votive Mass of the Blessed Virgin or of the dead daily. Infirm priests may be permitted to celebrate Mass in their homes, and seated if necessary. The faculties relating to the Sacrament of Penance allow bishops, among other things, to grant confessors faculties to absolve from reserved sins and censures with few exceptions. The motu proprio lists faculties and privileges. Faculties belong to the bishops by right and, strictly speaking, are not conceded. Privileges do not belong to them

by right and are granted by the Holy See. PREACH ANYWHERE The main feature of the privileges is that bishops will now enjoy the privilege —formerly granted exclusively to cardinals — to preach and hear confessions anywhere in the world unless the local Ordinary explicitly objects in a particular case. Most of the faculties now restored to the bishops in the motu proprio were regularly included in the quinquennial faculties that many bishops renewed every five years.

EXPLANATION Child's Testimony Did Not Add Up TO ARABS BEIRUT, Lebanon.—Lebanese papers have published a letter from Patriarch Maximos IV S aigh, of Antioch, explaining to Arabs the council's deliberations in a statement dealing with relations of the Church and Jews.

The Patriarch addressed the letter to all Arabs "to correct erroneous interpre tations and to allay anxieties felt in the Arab countries when it was learned that the Ecumenical Council might examine certain texts regarding Jewish religion." The Patriarch said that "the Jewish question should be regarded under a twofold aspect — the spiritualreligious and the civil-political. But when the Church speaks of Jewry she does soin the purely spiritual-religious plane. "The Ecumenical Council has declared repeatedly that 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 it is not its task to intervene in civil and religious matters.

Digging Finance The CIMITILE. Italy: Italian government has put up approximately EA36,000 to excavate a series of ancient catacombs at this small town near Naples. Scholars trace the origins of the catacombs to preChristian times. Some believe they were caves created by the digging of tufa, a soft porous rock widely used for building. Others believe they began as the earthen homes of tribes in the Naples region. According to Church tradition, Bishop St. Felix and thirty other Christians were martyred in the year 95 and were buried in a place called "Coemiterium," which is believed to be the catacombs of Cimitile. Excavations begun before World War II have uncovered a fourth-century basilica floor plan in the area, but work stopped with the outbreak of war. Recently, however, the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno, a government agency charged with stimulating the economic progress of backward areas in Southern Italy and Sicily, has appropriated the money to resume the work.

The Most Remarkable The Shrine of the Three Kings in the famous Cologne cathedral is considered the most remarkable medieval example of the goldsmith's art extant. Wrought by the master Nicholas of Verdun, it combines plastic ornamentation and enameling with amazing perfection. The cathedral itself is the greatest monument of Gothic architecture in Germany. Begun in 1248 it was not fully completed until 1880. While most of Cologne was destroyed by allied air raids during World War II, the cathedral escaped major damage and its priceless art treasures were almost miraculously preserved.

DESMOND O'GRADY writes from ROME... 1.••••••••••••••••1011•V

WILL PAUL VI BE A "TRAVELLING T POPE?"

EVERYMAN'S FAMILY

HERE are many aspects to Pope Paul's visit to the Holy Land, but one of the most striking is that of the return to the origins of the Faith, which is the theme of those who wish to see the Church place a greater emphasis on a biblical and evangelical simplicity.

Though the scope of the pilgrimage is solely religious, there has been elaborate planning to ensure that no protocol is upset nor any sensibilities offended. There is an old saying that when the Pope travels he does what he likes, but that was shaped within Christendom when Popes often travelled. What was once easy and accepted has been forgotten—perhaps it customary will become again. A trip to the Holy Land is far more difficult than one to Lourdes, but the possibilities it opens are vast. Strong rumour has it that the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople Athenagoras —and perhaps the Russian Patriarch Alessio--will meet Pope Paul in the Holy Land. The Orthodox would be more willing to meet the Pope there than in Rome, so there may be a gathering of Eastern and Western Patriarchs, both Catholic and non-Catholic. Constantinople and Rome meeting in the Holy Land would augur well for unity.

Left Open THE POPE'S initiative gave a noticeable fillip to the close of the Council. It balanced the disappointment over the fact that the chapters on the Jews and religious liberty were not put to a vote to see whether the Council would accept them as a basis for discussion. It lifted the spirits of those "progressives" who had hoped that the Pope would not use the terra "concede" when talking of the bishops' widened powers and that he would have come out more explicitly on collegiality and the form of the bishops' co-operation in Church govrnment in his final address. In effect he has left the crucial questions open to the commissions who must submit their work to the Council in the next session. What he did do was to suggest that the revised

draft on "Revelation" would be reconsidered, whereas many thought it would be pigeonholed after its first version was rejected in the opening session. Then he announced his trip, which gives a further reason for ecumenical hopes and sets the Council questions still undecided such as that on Our Lady, the relations between bishops and the Papacy, and the Church itself in an ecumenical perspective. This is the first decisive ACTION of the Pope who has reportedly said in private that the second session was still John's, but the third would be his. This trip may well be a precedent. Some of the central - western European bishops say they will consider the Council a success if it leads to an effective, permanent expression of

collegiality in the structure of the Church. Cardinal Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, is said to be more demanding, to believe that if the Council does not come to some telling decisions regarding such pressing problems as hunger and the "population explosion," it will have failed as far as Asia is concerned. Towards the close of the second session, he asked the Fathers to petition Pope Paul to have schema 17 on "the presence of the Church in the modern world," which deals with these problems, advanced in the agenda.

Bombay Congress THE THIRD session's tentative dates will allow the bishops to go from

By Father JOHN C. KNOTT

Twenty Years To Go Rome to attend the Eucharistic Congress in Cardinal Gracias' diocese Bombay. Pope Paul's January trip will foster Ecumenism— which is the Council debate in suspense between the second session and the third. It is possible that the close of the third session will see the Pope taking a second momentous trip outside Italy with the one year —to India, where his presence would be a striking proof of the Church's interest in Asia and her problems, and emphasise that the Church is not tied to Latin or "Western" cultural forms.

The comment of Charles M. Schulz, the creator of the daily cartoon "Peanuts," should have been remembered sooner. He once said that the trouble with dedicated people is that they have no sense of humour. A re-reading of the news account brought one to the reluctant conclusion that these recommendations were made in all seriousness.

Jewish Festival Near The Nativity ABOUT THE TIME JESUS WAS BORN, POSSIBLY THE SAME NIGHT, JERUSALEM WAS CELEBRATING THE JEWISH HOLIDAY, HANUKKAH. It commemorates the first great victory of religious freedom, won by the Jews in 165 B.C. At that time Palestine was dominated by Antiochus IV, a SyrianGreek dictator, who sought t o abolish Judaism. Under the leadership of Mattathias and his five sons, known as the Maccabees, after three years of bitter struggle the Jews brought defeat to the pagans who had desecrated their Temple. According to legend, when the faithful reentered to rededicate their Temple to Jehovah, they found only oil enough to furnish altar light for one night; but, lo, it burned eight. THE 25th DAY Hanukkah, which means "dedication," is celebrated

A RECENT CONGRESS on population problems reported to the press some startling recommendations. They carried such far-reaching implications and were so contrary to traditional American attitudes as to lead one initially to suspect a tongue-in-cheek approach.

AMONG OTHER THINGS, the conference proposed "the widespread distribution of contraceptive devices to both married and unmarried persons at public expense." Whatever the reasons that may be offered for this radical change in public policy, the fact of the matter is that this would be a public promotion of promiscuity and sexual irresponsibility. It would in practice not only condone but encourage pre-marital sexual relations. The big evil in the minds of the conferees seems to be not sexual immorality, but an unwanted pregnancy, whether legitimate or illegitimate. Discussion was had concerning the formal approval of abortion as an answer to an unwanted pregnancy. While this formal approval was withheld, it might be just a matter of timing. It was Kinsey who stated that 90 per cent of the women seeking an abortion are married women with a contraceptive failure. You can be sure that the advocates of indiscriminate contraception will necessarily have to do something about these disturbed constituents. Those who have a right to no-life have in their mind an equal right to anti-life. However ,the formal approval of sterilisation as the perfect contraceptive did come out of this meeting. This is especially interesting, since more and more of recent Planned Parenthood literature has been admitting that existing contraceptives are complicated, a bit messy and unaesthetic. and not nearly as safe as people presume. Besides this people have to be "motivated- to use them. The ones "motivating" themselves right out of existence are found mostly in the middle and upper classes. You can give "the pill- to the poor, but you can't make them use it. Perhaps there is more meaning in the Scriptural phrase than is usually realised — "The poor you will always have with you."

S IMPLE

SOLUTION

AT ANY RATE, sterilisation offers such a permanent and simple solution. A quick twist of the surgical knife and there you have it, or don't have it as the case may be. It is more complicated with the woman, so why should not the male be the man about this, or the non-man, as we have the non-book. After all, he is the carrier of the disease called life. This operation would free the man of all sexual r esponsibility. It is more subtle than castration, since he can still perform the sex act. However, provisions are being made so that he can still father a child. Human stud-banks are now beirx advocated where ,prior to the operation, his seed can be deep-frozen for future use. When he wants a child, he can tap the bank. If such a child is not a love child, at least it would be a wanted baby and that seems so important to some adults. This would presume, of course, that his Wife wants his child. If, at a given moment, she Was more enamoured of the characteristics of another male, she could probably call up the bank and get the order changed. She is a free agent ,too. If enough men are sterilised, then women Would, be safe from that pathological condition call& pregnancy. What, then, about those men who hae. not been sterilised? Will they become victims. el an Orwellian persecution against love and life. After all, it is only 20 years to 1984! The address of the local Catholic Marriage Guidance Centre is 23-4548. 77 ST.

Role Was Reversed V ATICAN CITY.—Two laymen, one French and the other Italian, took the floor of the c ouncil to speak of the need for ecumenism and of the role of the laymen in the Church in the presence of Pope Paul yl and more than two thousand bishops.

The rare occasion for laymen to address the assembled bishops of the c ouncil took place during a commemorative session marking the fourth centenary of the Council of Trent. The speakers were French writer Jean Guitton and Italian Vittorino Veronese, long a leader in the field of Catholic Action. Guitton said his vocation to the ecumenical movement is founded on meditation on the reasons which, in the Gospel of St. John, Jesus gives for His sacrifice and on the certitude that this will of Christ is effective and that we must cooperate in it with our whole being." He warned against two false approaches to ecumenism. He cautioned against one approach which would retain "solely that which is common to all Christians or which prepares a new super -church said to be the synthesis of the historical churches." Rather than accept this approach, he said, "true religious spirits prefer the solitude of disunion to an equivocal union" which offends truth.

"IIIMOBILISM" The second approach referred to was "immobilism," which holds that "the Catholic Church must restrict herself to waiting for the return and submission of the churches which have broken the link of unity. But unity is a link of love, and love compels us to unity." Guitton said ecumenism "demands two complementary sacrifices." On the one hand Catholics themselves must respond "with a humble, magnanimous and sorrowful effort of purification so as to remove from the face of the Church the lines which mar her eternal youth. The blood which achieves unity cannot be shed on one side only." CHRIST'S WILL He also said it must be stressed that "the Catholic Church is entrusted with the task of announcing to the world that she is the only church as willed by her Divine Founder." Yet this must not obscure the fact that Catholics must

realise that unity will be perfect only when the legitimate forms of Christian and human diversity have once more found their place and their just freedom in the bosom of the Church. Guitton then conjured up a vision, saying: "Let us imagine, venerable brothers, that all our separated brothers wanted to enter tomorrow the Catholic basilica. "She would widen her nave, she would Ippen up her cupola, she would make her useless ornaments, her antiquities disappear, so that everyone should feel at ease in her sublime simplicity. She would preserve the same form, the same essence, the same structure. Nothing that is essential in dogma, in worship and in authority would be modified. But this same unalterable form, enriched by so many contributions and so many sorrows, would then have its flowering, its perfect plenitude, I might even say its anticipated glory.

Pope Paul's Home Target Of Bomber CONCESIO, ITALY. — THE COUNTRY HOME HERE IN WHICH POPE PAUL VI WAS BORN WAS THE TARGET OF VIOLENCE FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO MONTHS. A Molotov cocktail consisting of a wine bottle filled with petrol and an ignited wick was hurled against the front door of the house at about 4 a.m. on December 8. Police later arrested a 24-year-old bus driver, Alessi.° Boniotti, who, they said, had confessed to the crime. Police reported Boniotti said he had thrown the bomb as a protest, but had not said what he was protesting against. Boniotti was identified by townspeople who took his licence number when he stopped a short distance from the Pope's birthplace to fill his car's radiator with water and to put out a flaming blanket. He will be tried for insulting the person of the Pope, who is protected by Italian law under the terms of the Lateran Treaty. No connection has been established between the bomb throwing and the firing of rifle shots at the house on October 20.

this What a testimony would be in the face of the world!" Guitton told the bishops that "this unity of Christians is contained in the prayer of the Eternal Christ and where is the religious man who does not desire it from the depths of his heart? It will be achieved through ways which are unknown to us and which are being prepared while we remain unaware of them, the great events in history. So many converging prayers rise towards God! So many lives have been offered on one side and the other for unity!" He concluded by saying: "May graces be given to you for listening to a layman speaking of his experience. He has done it fearlessly like a son before his father in whom he places all his hope!" Veronese thanked the Pope for including laymen as auditors of the council. He said such a recognition affords laymen the opportunity of being "the interpreters of that Catholic laity which otherwise we would not have known how to represent." Noting that the bishops of the council are returning home, Veronese said: "we, too, return to our neighbours . . . we return to our parishes and to our families" to up-date the spiritual and corporal works of mercy as demanded by the problems of the times.

Environment Plays Big Part In Life Says Pope By PATRICK RILEY,. N.C.W.C. Reporter. VATICAN CITY: Holiness elevates what is good in an environment and spurns what is evil, Pope Paul VI declared after the beatification of a Neopolitan parish priest. He said the life of the new blessed, Father Vincent Romano, and of all holy people, serves as "a warning to us not to overestimate environment, as if it were indispensable and decisive for the strong, free and Christian soul." Pope Paul spoke in St. Peter's Basilica at an afternoon ceremony venerating the new blessed, who was beatified in a splendid ceremony that morning, November 17. As he spoke, a newly unveiled portrait of the blessed looked down benignly on him from above the Altar of the Chair. PARISH PRIEST Blessed Vincent was a parish priest of his native town of Torre del Greco from 1794 until 1831. The

tion at the banquet, which was attended by nearly 5,000 Catholic Young people. The youth award was presented to Hoover by Mgr. Frederick J. Stevenson, director of the Youth Department, National Catholic Welfare Conference. Honoured with Padre of Youth Awards were Mgr. Harold J. Markey, former director of youth in the Detroit archdiocese, and Mgr. Maurice Woulfe, former director of youth in the Buffalo, N.Y., diocese. Mgr. Markey is pastor of Visitation church in Detroit. Mgr. Woulfe is pastor of Infant of Prague church in Cheektowake, N.Y.

village rests uneasily on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, the European mainland's only active volcano. During that time the volcano erupted 13 times, but never, after Blessed Vincent's prayers and a journey up the forbidding mountain to the mouth of the volcano, did the lava again flow on to his village. Pope Paul referred to the influence of environment and holiness, saying: "The saint, and in this case Blessed Vincent Romano, not only personifies and raises to the highest level all that is good in the environment, but reacts against all that is evil and mean. This observation is not only a cause of admiration for the Servant of God who set himself free from rigid customs, believed to be unchangeable, but must also be a lesson for us. It teaches us that any environment, with the grace of the

Lord and goodwill, can produce sanctity." (Pope Paul did not specify how Blessed Vincent's environment militated against virtue.) The Pope then observed that we must not overestimate the role of environment in forming high virtue. He said: "Positive virtue negative goodness, and mediocrity or vice, are undoubtedly very important factors, and in practice often influence or dictate the behaviour of ordinary people, but not that of the hero of virtue who dominates and personifies them, when good, and reacts against them and often overcomes them when bad." The Pope pointed out that Blessed Vincent was ahead of his time in emphasising that the faithful at Mass should join the prayers of the celebrant with their mind and their voice.

HE GERMAN BISHOPS HAVE I TSSUED A JOINT PASTORAL TO START GERMANY'S THIRD "ADVENIAT" FUND CAMPAIGN TO HELP THE CHURCH IN

Output Is Limited THE Hungarian government's office for religious affairs allows only 12 to 14 seminarians to be ordained each year the German Catholic news agency K.N.A. has reported. Three hundred students are now studying in Hungary's six seminaries, K.N.A. said. Before World War II, an average of 1,200 students were preparing for the priesthood, a n d usually about a hundred were ordained every year. Hungary now has about five thousand priests, the agency said, of whom 700 are not allowed to practise their ministry and must therefore earn their living in industry and farming. The number of priests is going down because those who each year die, retire or lose government authorisation to work as priests outnumber the 12 to 14 new priests.

LATIN AMERICA. German Catholics were asked to give at least a tenth of the money they spend on Christmas gifts. The pastoral said the campaign would not only help Latin America, but would also "show Catholics all over the world how the Church's laity can conic t o fully developed activity." The Bishops said they hope the collection will bring enough to assure Latin American priests a monthly income of at least £ All and support an aid system for aged and sick priests. The campaign brought nearly £3,000,000 in 1961 and nearly £ 3,500,000 in 1962. German Catholics are also sponsoring the education of 6,742 Latin American seminarians. ,#########••••••••••• , 04p#####.11,41.4NOWNI ,,m,""ir,14.04 r #4,,,

JESUIT COMMENTS ON COUNCIL'S PROGRESS

E XERCISING THE EXECUTIVE WAY

FATHER PLACID JORDAN, 0.S.B., writes from ROME. THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL DURING ITS SECOND SESSION HAS ACHIEVED HAVE ANTICIPATED EVEN A DEGREE OF PROGRESS THAT NO ONE COULD KARL RAHNER, S.J., ONE FATHER OF AGO, OPINION IN THE YEARS A FEW THEOLOGIANS OF OUR DAY. OUTSTANDING CATHOLIC MOST TIIE OF Father Rahner, whose were twice singled ritings w out for commendation by Pope Paul VI during November, was in Rome as a council expert. Now a member of the theology faculty at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, he will soon take over the chair of the philosophy of religion at the Universitiy of Munich in Germany, previously held Romano Monsignor by Guardini. NOT LOST by this cornterviewed I respondent, the prominent Jesuit discounted the idea that council progress is minimal. "What has been achieved thus far in the council will not be lost," he said. "The new mentality which so clearly prevails in the Church, as a consequence of the 'aggiornamento" intended by the late Pope John and confirmed by Pope Paul without reservations, finds its expression in a courage to exert an independence of judgment which indeed is gratifying. "Those who feared that the impact which emanated from the first session might not be sustained during this second session have proved mistaken. Of course, one should not be too sanguine in one's expectations. The effect of the council decrees will not be felt for some time. But the progress now stimulated so hopefully is bound to manifest itself more tangibly as we move along." PRACTICAL Asked whether this also could be said specifically in regard to one of the key issues which was before the council — the definition of e piscopal collegiality— Father Rahner said that a clear distinction ought to be made between the dogmatic content of a council decree and its practical execution: "We must not expect the council to lay down detailed directions. These are within the competence of the Holy

on the nature of the Church will define episcopal collegiality in terms which will be nearly indentical with those that canon law and theology in general have always used in speaking of ecumenical councils. "Such a definition simply will amount to the recognition that the bishops jointly and under the Pope are exercising supreme jurisdiction in the Church. In what manner the Pope then will seek the advice of a consultative body of bishops will be up to him. SUPREME AUTHORITY "In practice this will amount to an improvement of the methods used up until now to enable the Pontiff to obtain on specific problems advice directly from the bishops. Of course this does not mean that the Church will adopt some sort of parliamentary procedures. It has been demonstrated more than once at the council how important it is that the Roman Pontiff should retain that supreme authority which enables him to break possible deadlocks. For the same reason, it also will be entirely in the hands of the Holy Father what .reforms he will deem advisable in his curial adminstration." Answering another question, Father Rahner said that the work in the council's theological commission and the sub-committees is now proceeding quite satisfactorily. "Of course," he went on to say, "difficulties remain to be overcome, especially in regard to Mariological issues, which will be debated at the next session. Reconciling opposing views in this field will not be easy. "Besides, some wrinkles remain to be ironed out concerning the status of religious orders. As I see it,

we must avoid cramming too much ecclesiology into this schema. But, understandably, everybody has pet projects they want considered." PROGRESS Are the propects of making real progress in interfaith relations truly encouraging, Father Rahner was asked. He replied: "I think so. The work done by the Bea secretariat (the Secretariat f o r Promoting Christian Unity, which is headed by Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J.) is splendid and bound to bear fruit in due course. "Naturally, here too we should be aware of certain handicaps. Take the issue of mixed marriages. We must consider it not only as it affects Protestants, but also the Orientals. Now to find a formula regarding the promises of non-Catholic partners contemplating marriage with Catholics that will be acceptable to all concerned is still under discussion. RIGHT ROAD Let us not expect more of this council than it can reasonably accomplish. Some water always will be poured into even the best wine! -The essential thing is that we are now on the right road. I am confident that we will make further progress." accomFather Rahner panied a delegation from publishing Gerrtian the house of Herder to a papal audience last November 8. The Pope told him: "I know your work.I am very happy with it." Father Rahner was received by Pope Paul again on November 25, and the Pope again assured him of his high esteem and expressed the hope of seeing him in Rome more freyently.

A brisk spin round the park, the cycle i s returned to the boot and the Earl relaxes while his chauffeur takes him to his city off ice. The Earl has been using his folding bicycle for some time now, and recommends i t as a way of keeping in trim and beating traffic jams at the same time. For an evening dinner engagement, the Earl will often arrive by Bentley, set up his cycle, and send the car home and cycle back later.

The cycle is from a range designed on a new principle by Britain's Moulton Cycle Company.

COLLABORATORS IN CHURCH'S WORK V ATICAN CITY.—Pope Paul VI said that through their aid to the mentally ill, psychiatrists are collaborators in the work of the Church. The Pontiff granted a special audience in the Vatican's Clementine Hall for participants in the International Congress of Psychiatry, in progress in Rome. Speaking of the Church's own loving interest in those who suffer emotional illnesses, he told the psychiatrists that `by giving your highly meritorious help to the sick become her collaborators.' The Pope continued: "It is true that today the highest, most difficult, most tremendous task, which is to console souls before the mystery of pain through spiritual help and above all

through the superhuman force of the sacraments, is entrusted predominantly to the Church and her ministers. But this does not mean you should feel exempt from the responsibility.. . . of being the brothers of your patients always and everywhere — at your patients' bedsides and in your demanding academic studies. "That is, to be brothers in the Christian and human sense, brothers who suffer with the suffering, who share in the joy of recovery and offer a heart that loves, understands and gives aid with inexhaustible compassion."

The Rev. Oscar Cullmann, professor at the Universities of Paris and Basel, Switzerland, spoke on "The History of Salvation in the New Testament in the Light of the Ecumenical Dialogue." The talk was sponsored by Archbishop Jean Weber of Strasbourg, France, in the auditorium of the Church of St. Louis of France. Dr. Cullman was a personal guest of Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., and took part in all council sessions. He is known to be close to Pope Paul VI, who esteems him highly. Led by Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, Dean of the College of Cardinals, and a dozen bishops and abbots, the audience was largely priests and seminarians. Also present were numerous

lay people, who barely left enough standing room for the latecomers. It was agreed that- the lecture was perhaps t h e outstanding event on the fringe of the council. It culminated in an ovation for the speaker. HISTORY The lecture itself principally was an exposition of Scripture. Dr. Cullmann put special emphasis on a concept of history that makes it possible to realise its relation to the history of salvation which is hidden. Both the Old and New Testaments, he said, start from the premise that we must "see and believe," must be witnesses of historical events, but also be prepared to understand their significance as manifestations of the Divine Will in human history. "The historical events," he added, "are avenues of Divine Revelation." Against this background the speaker expressed his conviction that "perhaps the division of Christianity will not last for ever." Christian believers, Dr. Cullmann concluded, never must lose courage and realise that at all times we remain pilgrims on earth, and that the divisions among us also are challenges to be faced as "salvific signs" in all phases of human life.

TOKEN PLEDGE

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.: The Holy See has pledged 1,000 dollars as a "token" contribution to the 1964 programme of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Twenty-eight governments pledged a total of nearly two million dollars for the programme. Earlier t h e General Assembly extended the office until the end of 1965 and recommended that the programme's executive committee be enlarged from 25 to 30 members. The Holy See has been a member of the executive committee since 1951. In announcing the Holy See's pledge, Monsignor Timothy Flynn, of New York City, said that the pledge is an "indication of the continuing interest of the Holy See in ameliorating the sorrowful condition of refugees." The Holy See earlier gave the office 10,000 dollars (about f.A4,500) for European refugees and 5,000 dollars to help Rwandan rpfilgees in Tanganyika, Monsignor Flynn said.

ORPHANAGE CONCERT On December 15 the girls of St. Joseph's Orphanage, Subiaco, presented their annual entertainment in their own hall before an appreciative audience. The choir opened the proceedings with the National Anthem, and then four bright numbers, including Loch Lomond. The Polka Dance was a colourful folk dance and the Sailor's Hornpipe gaye a whiff of ozone. The Dolls' Dance was appropriately mechanical, and the Kicking Ballet was well danced by the senior girls in their effective red and black dressing. The Cantata "Cinderella" was well produced with some very good work by the tiny tots, who, spoke up in great style. The percussion band presented items of tuneful harmony.

Owing to rehearsals for "Christmas in the Market Place," no meeting of the Therry Society was held on Monday, December 16.

Most of the Therry members relaxed from their strenuous rehearsal schedule at the river trip barbecue on Saturday, December 14, in which they were joined by a large number of their friends. It appears that this is the engagements for season among Therry members. Two weeks ago members extended congratulations to Jem Horrocks and her fiance John Mestichelli on their engagement. Now it is learned that Gerard Leahy has announced his engagement to Anne Marie Jordan of Melbourne. Members of the society retain happy recollections of the time that Anne Marie spent among them, as producers and chaperone for the girls of Our Lady of Sion Convent during the National Catholic Schools Drama Festival. It is understood that the wedding will take place in Melbourne in January.

Dr. Dunne said that the experimental cotton taken off the pilot farm had excelled in length, strength and quality and had grown on good ,fiat ,well-irrigated soil. There was, he said, every confidence in the Department's estimate that Ord River cotton would grow commercially into a fine new industry for W.A. He said criticism of the failure of the first safflower crop overlooked three things—safflower was only a sideline crop; it was sown so that the new farmers could learn irrigation and other local techniques; the yield was not lower than that grown elsewhere in Australia. The first "free" cotton crop was now being sown. and new farmers would

average 300 acres this year. They appeared equipped to handle all aspects of growth, from soil preparation to infestation attack and final cropping. The speaker said he was confident, on Deparmental figures, that a £1,800 per acre yield would give £11,000 profit, excluding capital repayment. Dr. Dunne summarised price conditions in U.S.A., where the grower was subsidised to keep the world market price down to 81d. per lb. He pointed out that the American grower received 1/- per lb. for his crop. High yield years at the Ord-River could conceivably bring production cost down to 6d. per lb. in the foreseeable future.

MISSION NOTES By Rey. Father W. J. Foley

T

HE Magi brought to the Child three gifts_ frankincense, offered to God; myrrh, to the Man who would suffep and die; gold, to the King. They thus honoured Him both as God and man. What they believed in their hearts, they witnessed by their gifts. From that day to this, men have opened their treasures on Christmas Day and been bountiful with gifts. You have remembered your friends. Have you remembered Christ': Friends—our missionaries? *

TO FIND a doctor here in Peru, one must often travel between 120 and iu miles. There is seldom even a nurse or a midwife at a closer distance. Infant mortality is enormous; nearly half of the children die before they are ten years old. During epidemics, many succumb because of a lack of medicine. In some villages there are no old people left at all." The Society for the Propagation of the Faith maintains some 10,000 hospitals and dispensaries throughout the mission world, but, as evidenced above, even this is not enough. We would open more if you would open your hearts and your pocketbooks. MISSIONARIES in the Congo no longer consid et death an imminent danger, but report that continual outbreaks paralyse their apostolic efforts . Constant racial and inter -tribal conflicts; anarch y among magistrates, where it shOuld least be found; the premature acquisition of 14 new provin ces since the Congo's independence; and the appoin tment of hundreds of inadequately trained admin istrators have intensified this confusion. Within the army there is a high rate of disloyalty, and over t wo thousand police were recently found guilty of insubordination. This social and political unrest has caused economic ferment — unemployment, strikes , black-markets. The "man-in-the-street" lives in misery next to the buildings of ministers and memb ers of parliament, who neglect God for their stomachs and Pleasures. In missionary areas, however, the confus ion is less pronounced, as Catholic priests, with few exceptions. remained at their posts during the turmoil of the past two years, and the exodus that followed. But conditions are still far from satisfactory. Missionary personnel cannot keep up with t he increasing number of students. Subsidies and building provisions have decreased at a frightful rate, and lay teachers,. not paid in months, are suffering acute material privation. Yet, despite these hardships, and the presence of neo-pagan sects, materialism, indifferentism and a more prevalent return to superstition. Congo missionaries report the impetus of the Faith is very strongly felt. .0.4.4,41,000.#41.41 , 0.

Two Surprises In Basketball TU RF TOPICS Cause Top Four Re-arrangement By THE HAWK

TWO SURPRISES IN THE A -GRADE SECTION OF Y.C.W. SUMMER BASKE TBALL COMPETITION CAUSED THE REARRANGEMENT OF TEAMS IN THE TOP FOUR OF THE PREMIE RSHIP TABLE. Bedford Park, who last week defeated Highgate, were well beaten by the improved Claremont side. Bedford were not at their full strength and played most of the second half with only four players. This did not detract from Claremont's win — they were relentless and continued to press their opponents right to the final whistle. Shenton Park moved into the top four when they finished on far too well for Cottesloe arid ran out winners by six points. Cottesloe appear to have lost all the form they showed early in the season and a vast improvement is necessary if they are to qualify for the finals. Highgate regained second place on the premiership table with an impressive win over Bassendean. The East Victoria Park-Highgate clash in the first round after Christmas should provide a high-standard match. B-GRADE The Highgate-Osborne Park clash turned out to be a real thriller. Osborne Park began well and, with only ten minutes remaining, held a comfortable lead and looked likely winners. Disaster struck, however, when Osborne Park lost two of their players and were left with 161101,317.1,-, -

only four men on the court. Highgate gradually reduced the leeway and at the final whistle the scores were level. One extra five-minute period was then played and during this Highgate moved right away to record a tenpoint win. Scarborough continue to show good form and easily accounted for West Perth. North Doubleview scored a good win over Bedford and still have a good chance of qualifying for the finals, which at this stage appear a Scarborough benefit. C-GRADE Claremont continued their undefeated run with a 1642 win over West Perth. West Perth's play was generally sound, but they broke down in attack and could not score at the critical points during the match. Leederville scored an easy win over East Victoria Park and must be favoured to beat claremont when these t wo teams meet after the Christmas break. Como and Kensington consolidated their positions in the top four with good wins over Bedford Park and Highgate respectively, but they are by no means certain to qualify, with four other teams only four points behind them both. The remaining rounds should produce some topclass games. D-GRADE Once again form was hard to follow in the matches in the D-Grade section.

Riverton continue to show improvement and it is unfortunate that they started off so poorly for otherwise they could well be up among the leaders. At this stage, any one of four or five teams could be premiers in this section— though Shenton Park have the form and the players to see them through all the finals.

LIGHT CARGO, the four-year -old gelding w ith the unidentified breedtng, galloped his way to Perth Cup favouritism when he beat CYGNET STAR and RESOLUTION in the 11-furlong December Handicap at Ascot last Saturday. This horse, whose last four runs have produced t wo wins and two seconds, gave a good exhibition of staying, but as he has only been over a distance a couple of times, there is a doubt whether he will be solid enough to run out the extra five furlongs of the big race — particularly as it will be run in a little over a fortnight's time. While he may go on to win the Cup, he is at this stage a false favourite. Cygnet Star ran a sound race, while too much use was made of Resolution early in the race, therefore his strong finishing run was missing towards the finish. Both placed horses are now likely to do better over a longer journey.

n RUNS STRAIGHT AND WINS

SIR RODERICK AGAIN This good colt made it three runs, three wins he won the five-furlongwhen Dar. lot Handicap, beating KEV'S FOLLY and DAME DUVIDAL. For the first time the rider of the winner found it necessary to give the colt a couple with the whip and as it was seen that he has lightened off a lot, it could be the early signs that he has had enough racing for the present. Key's Folly ran a first-class race under her 8.13 and was gat. ing on the winner at the finish. E l STRONG FINISH Nothing came home be.. ter than FAIR'S PRINT when he beat GOJON ar.a ASSOCIATE in the 11-mile Telephone Handicap. The attractive win drew attention to the colt's pr:pects in the Derby later the month, which for a change bears an open appearance this year. No ex. cuses can be offered for the bad runs of WESTRALIS a nd ELLA'S COMMAND, but the rider of the third horse, Associate, seemed to make his run much too soon. This trio hardly shaped like Perth Cup cr.didates.

In the w.f.a. Winterbottom Stakes over seven furlongs, BIG BOB, while allowed to lead as usual, was "held up" early and this enabled him to negotiate the turn E l REGAINING FORM without running out, and it played a big part in his Heavily backed and sent easy defeat of COUNT out 6-4 favourite, KINGS PUTNIK and ROYAL LIKE flew home to run THRUST.

He is on the minimum ner of the Railway last year, (7.9) in the Railway, but in perhaps the Cup will be the light of his strong finish Royal Thrust's mission this at one mile he may be kept Carnival. for the Derby.

n GOOD THING BEATEN While ASSYRIAN seemed to jump away well, thereafter he was never out of trouble in the Novice Handicap of one mile. After they had travelled a furlong he was last of a strungout field, yet he was able to thread his way through and still run a good third to his stablemate COOLENY, who beat rank outside ABSORBING. Backed from 7's to 7-2, Assyrian will only have to reproduce that run to soon get out of novice company.

RACE TOO SHORT The performance of vtoT• TARA'S GEM in running second to CHECKERSPOT in the seven-furlong Standard Handicap showed that the distance was not long enough for her. A long waY out of her ground early, she came home strongly, but the post was too near. The race was not run to suit RACSON, who could do much better amongst his own age.

Ell WEEK'S BEST KINGLIKE'S brilliant third in the mile Welter was a most attractive run last Saturday.

some of the most effective parts of the "Widow" are for soprano and m a 1 e chorus and here they are made much more effective by the very soft singing by the men. Similarly, the Philharmonia under Matacic never plays at full blast. This doesn't mean that the orchestra retires to the background — indeed, the contrary is true — but the music comes in wisps of vivid detail which float and eddy around the singers.

WISHES ALL "RECORD" READERS A HAPPY CHRISTMAS

More Religious Themes

There has been a tremendous upswing in the sale of religious Christmas cards in the past dozen years. In many areas religious greeting cards now outnumber all other types by two to one. At present, the most popular Christmas cards are reproductions of the works of Renaissance masters: the Nativity scene, the journey of the Magi, the angels announcing the Birth of the Saviour, and the shepherds hurrying to the stable at Bethlehem. This may be because so many of the religious designs by modern commercial artists are of poor quality. Good contemporary religious Christmas bards, however, are becoming more abundant each year and are gaining in popularity.

French Custom

In France, where the season's greeting is "Joyeux Noel," many homes now have Christmas trees as well as the traditional creche populated with terra cotta figures called santons. This custom can he traced back to the 12th century when it took the form of a liturgical drama. After Midnight Mass, they take part in the Reveillion This elaborate feast of many courses usually begiig with pate de foie gras and oysters. Roast turkey or goose with all the trimmings follow, along with a variety of complementing cheeses and fruits. Topping off the meal is the traditional buche de Noel, a log-shaped cake with chocolate icing simulating bark. Before retiring for the night, the family places its shoes by the fireplace in anticipation of a visit from "Pere Noel."
