LAITY CONSULTED ON MASS CHANGES LONDON: THE VIEWS OF THE LAITY ON CURRENT AND FUTURE LITURGICAL CHANGES ARE BEING SOUGHT SYSTEMATICALLY HERE IN PREPARATION FOR THE CATHOLIC HIERARCHY'S FEBRUARY 3 MEE-iING ON THE SUBJECT. Archbishop, now CardinalElect, John C. Heenan of Westminster, president 3f

Anniversary Celebrations MANILA: Rufino Cardinal Santos of Manila has announced that an archdiocesan Eucharistic congress and a convention of the Catholic Action organisation of Manila will be held here (February 4 to 7) as "a fitting preparation" for the 400th anniversary of Christianity in the Philippines. The year 1965 was declared by Pope Paul VI a jubilee year for the Catholics of this country. In connection with the celebrations President Diosdado Macapagal has set up a committee, including five cabinet ministers, to take charge of government participation in the commemoration. Philippine car license tags this year bear the inscription "Christianisation's 4th Centennial." The project was sponsored by the government committee for participation in the annivers ary.
A Memorial Mass will be offered in St. Mary's Cathedral on Saturday morning at 10.30 a.m. for the &lath of Sir Winston Churchill. The sermon for the occasion will be preached by Father Paul Keyte S.D.S. The wartime leader of Britain died last Sunday and is to be buried this Saturday. A Memorial Service is also being held at St can Cathedral at the same time.
George's Angli-
the English bishops' conference, has instructed all pastors of the archdiocese to hold parish meetings and to report to him on the views of their people by the end of January. Some other bishops are expected to follow suit. Bishop George Dwyer of Leeds has already asked his priests to get the "feeling" of the people both by holding parochial meetings and consulting leaders of lay organisations. NOT TOO LONG Archbishop Heenan in his message said it is clear that the present stage of the liturgical changes cannot be allowed to remain too long. He said that a "more consistent language pattern" is obviously required. First changes providing for English in the Mass came into effect in Ene:and last November 29. It was announced that the second stage in the use of English for such Old Testament texts as the gradual will probably be introduced this Easter. Meanwhile, the changes provided for by the postconciliar liturgy commission in Rome are to become effective March 7. The weekly Catholic Herald here in discussing Archbishop Heenan's call for parish meetings on the liturgy said: "Discussion at the parish meetings is expected to centre round four main questions—the amount of 'bobbing up and down,' as it has been referred to in changing posit ions from kneeling, to standing, to sitting and so on; the awkwardness of the transitions from English to Latin and back; the awkwardness of some of the English phrases used; and the lack of uniformity between parishes over the optional use of the vernacular in weekday Masses . . .

BISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN discusses EVERY MAN AND WOMAN IN LOVE, PROMISE EACH OTHER SOMETHING THAT ONLY GOD CAN GIVE. It is as if each were giving the other a title to a river which emptied into the ocean. Why is love so rich in promise, and so miserly in fulfillment? The promise is in the future, and therefore, is Infinite in possibilities; the present is "cabined, cribbed, confined," and hence finite in realisation. Because every lover thinks that love is like an electric switch which each turns on to produce the light and heat of love, never mindful that the power plant, the dynamo, the reservoir of all that power is outside each. Almost all love songs are in the present or the future tense: "I will love you 'til the sands of the desert grow cold . . ." or "We will raise a family . . ." or "I'll bake a cake for you to take for all the boys to see . . ." Where are the songs about the same lovers ten years after marriage? Was the bundalow built? was the cake baked? The fact is that he who promises an infinite ecstasy of love is lying; he is selling what he does not possess. There is much unhappiness ahead when the flickering, smoldering wax promises the light that belongs to the sun. The ocean is jealous of its depths and will revenge w
LOVE'S PROMISE itself in the little stream that promises the forests a fountain of water equal to the sea.
POWER AND WEAKNESS How different is a woman when she recognises her r ole as messenger than when she does not. When she sees herself as a messenger, she is the image of the highest aspiration of the soul. This is her power. But when she refuses to see herself as a messenger of God's love, she arouses the lowest instincts of a man. This is her weakness. A woman, therefore can be either an object of adoration or an object of scorn. Her beauty can evoke the beauty of the angels; but the moment she surrenders her role as courier of the Divine, she can drag man to the depths.

IDEAL BEFORE FACT
The same is true of a man. When he regards love as a trust from the Divine, he is prepared to make any sacrifice for the one he loves; when he denies the instrumental character of love, he becomes an egotist, bent only on his own pleasure. One loves an ideal before one loves in fact. We have the plan before the accomplishment; the ideal portrait before the sitter; the original before the fulfillment. In a mysterious way some great invisible hands had moulded an ideal. It seems, therefore, that it is less the person one falls in love with than the ideal. It could very well be that the best and most lasting of human loves are not when flesh and blood awaken in us a spark for the first time, but rather when we love first an ideal and then find the ideal in flesh and blood. Men or women who do not feel nearer to God when they fall in love, ought to ask themselves if they are not beasts rather than persons.

How often men who have led mediocre, dull or even wicked lives are transformed once they come under the influence of a good woman. It is not that she ministers to his needs or his instincts, but rather that she unveils the invisible; she brings a message of a holier love and lifts a man even from the gutter as the strained drop of water by the power of the sun is converted into a flake of immaculate snow of a mountain top.
Changes
Sir, It is a myth that it is the laity that seeks innovations while the clergy or even the hierarchy is "reactionary" It is not even the case that the one is progressive and the other conservative. As we all know, radical changes have been initiated and carried through by the hierarchy partly on the assumption that the laity wants them or that is is good for them, without the laity expressing any preference. It would however, be futile now to argue for the retention of, say at least three hours Eucharist fast and many other things. What concerns me rather is the disparity between the great substantial and small insubstantial changes. It reminds me of one of Professor Parkinson's observations that when a committee is asked to approve an expenditure of 10 million pounds they do so in no time: while after hours of argument the same committee would refuse a bill for £10.12.6. Compared to the proposed ommision of the last gospel it would be a small change to omit the announcements from the pulpit before the

Teacher Shortage Threatens MG. Mission Schools
Catholic Missions in Papua-New Guinea faced a serious education crisis unless more lay missionary teachers volunteered for this important apostolate this year. This warning was sounded recently by Mr. Jerome Dunn, a former Y.C.W. leader, who has just returned from the Territory after working as a lay missionary there for 28 months. "All the Bishops of New Guinea are literally - screaming for lay missionaries of all kinds, but particularly for Primary teachers," he added. The Bishops' present situation was aggravated by numbers of pupils and the fact that the terms of service of many of their present teachers will expire this year. For instance, of the three women and six men now teaching at the Passionist Fathers' mission stations in Vanimo Prefecture, mc re than half were due to return home late this year, Mr. Dunn said. No replacements were in sight for these teachers, and the position was being repeated in varying da grees in other vicariates_

Oldest Convent Will Close A serious drop in the number of vocations is forcing Benedictine nuns to close down their oldest priory and convent school in Britain. Princethorpe Monastery near Rugby in the English Midlands has been put up for sale and the community is planning to move to a smaller house. V ocations have slumped so much the community now numbers only 35 compared with 75 at the beginning of the century. The nuns say girls today are more attracted to the "adventure-type" missionary or nursing orders rather than to those offering an enclosed contemplative life.
SPAIN Council Will Aid Administration
pastoral diocesan A council, made up of priests and laymen, will aid Archbishop Pedro Cantero Caudrado of Saragossa in the spiritual and administrative government of the archdiocese. The appointment of the council coincided with the re-organisation of the diocesan curia. The archbishop appointed two general vicars, one for administrative t asks and the other for pas-
toral tasks. He also established two general secretariats, the first for social action and the second for education and the organisations of the apostolate.

MATCHING JOB AND PERSON The ironic thing is that on any given evening each of these men could read in the evening paper scores of job opportunities. Industry is almost desperately looking for new employees. We are in an expanding economy and there are more job opportunities than there are people to fill them. But industry, like every other economic area, is looking for men with "skill," with "training," with "experience." To bridge this gap between people who need work and employers who need workers, an important piece of Federal (American) legislation was passed In 1962. It is called the Manpower Development and Training Act. This authorises the establishment of local programmes to ferret out job shortages and then, if necessary, train people to fill them.
NATIONWIDE 4600 MDTA training about to operate in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. They will provide t raining for more than 250,000 unemployed or underemployed workers in any one of about 300 different occupations. Those eligible for this training include the unemployed or soon to be unemployed, those working less than full time, those working at a job below their capabilities. Farm workers with a net family income of less than EA540 a year and unemployed youths between the ages of 16 and 22 are also included. Applications are handled at the nearest state employment agency. There are about 1,900 of these scattered throughout the country. After an initial interview the applicant will be given a battery of tests to determine his potential for completing the course available in the community which would best fit his talents.

The length of training varies from four to 52 weeks. The programme is free. In fact the trainee will be paid while he is taking the course. He will receive an amount about equal to unemployment benefits with added benfits for travel and living expenses if the course is held in another twon. There is no guarantee of employment at the conclusion of the training period but the programme does give assistance in job placement. Seven out of ten workers who complete the course successfully do find jobs and usually at better pay than they previously enjoyed. In the short time that MDTA has been in effect it has done a remarkable job. It is hoped future years will see its benefits extended to many more areas of the economy.

THE
RECORD
Married Women Call Industrial Tune In the Netherlands of today, according to the Netherlands Information Service, industry is growing so rapidly that employers must look for new labour resources to keep production going. Some factories have moved into new districts to obtain the required labour, others have devised methods to tap hitherto unused. resources. A factory manufacturing electrical instruments has proved that the employment of married women — traditionally not keen to go out to work — can be very successful. This factory has already been working for half a year under a special system featuring some important conditions, such as: • Adapting of the working hours to the school hours of children. (The women can nominate their own working hours), clean and • Congenial workshops. • Own desks or working tables. production. mass • No Each person produces a special piece of work and finishes it herself. unpaid of • Possibility leave. At the moment there is a great need for unskilled and workers in semi-skilled industry. Complete mechanisation is impossible and manual labour will always be necessary. Married women seem to be very useful for this type of special work, but to utilise their best abilities it is necessary to hace special conditions to fit in with home circumstances and to ensure satis-
faction at returning to work. Production had to be specially organised so that the selected product could be assembled in separate stages. The manufacture of hearing aids and transistor radios proved to be suitable. NO MASS PRODUCTION Instead of mass production, the women work at their desks and have their own drawers where they can put away their possessions and can stop working at any desirable time without disturbing overall production. This is desirable in view of different working hours. The recruiting of workers had to be organised in a different way as well. Many women shrink from applying at a factory with its enormous building, waiting rooms and counters, with forms, impersonal interviews and visits to doctors and psychologists. Instead folders with a reply-half describing the work conditions of employment were sent to women living in residential areas surrounding the factory. TESTS Those who took an interest sent the reply cards back and a female worker of the personnel department visited them to ansVIMMICICIMMNICWOMIVIC were enquiries about the -kind of work, possible EST EXTERMINATORS F working hours, conditions, [IL THE' etc. Mothers of very young DUO' children are generally not QAT. t oltutl.‘ accepted.

The working time is 25 hrs. or more a week, and although it is part-time work they are not paid by comnormal mission but by wages. In general most ,of the women have a much better sense of responsibility than younger people and work with diligence and discipline and realise that their work must keep up to standard. Wages differentiation will be put into practice in future to compensate for different degrees of capability.
Critic's View DUBLIN: Films that shock or disgust are not necessarily immoral, and this includes those that occasionally use language about sex taken from outside the bounds of polite speech, a priestmember of Ireland's movie censor board declared. Father John C. Kelly, rairing film critic of The Furrow and new member of the Irish Film Censorship Appeals Board, gave his guideline on the proper presentation of sex. "The attitude toward sex is sound which insists that sex, God-planned and God-given, is a good and noble thing which should not be degraded. Any attitude to sex is bad which represents a sexual relationship as a selfishness." Father Kelly said the use of words signifying human anatomy or procreation that are commonly considered obscene, is not in itself sinful, but is contrary to good manners, good taste and the educated use of language.

WHERE HAVE ALL OUR PENNIES GONE People throughout Western Australia could set a good national example by making a record return of pennies into circulation. Every branch of the Bank of New South Wales in W.A. will hold a "Penny Week" starting Monday, February 1, in an attempt to recover as many pennies as possible. The Chief Manager for the Wales in W.A., Mr. I. M. Suter said yesterday that if everyone entered into the spirit of the Penny Week Appeal, thousands of pennies would return to circulatfon. To help overcome this national problem every branch of the Wales in the State will be ready to: • Accept pennies for normal savings. • Exchange pennies for silver or notes. Even the smallest amounts in pennies will be welcome.
necessary for the change to decimal currency, but the Treasurer has stated that the production of these is being interrupted by the need to meet a seemingly insatiable demand for present style pennies" said Mr. Suter. • "COIN COLLECTING HYSTERIA" One reason for this extraordinary demand has been the development of what could be called a "coin collecting hysteria" throughout Australia. This enthusiasm has no doubt been been triggered off by the pending change to decimal currency. There is great public interest in rare issues of the present coins and because of this people are obviously hoarding pennies in the hope of getting some of these. "Many coin collectors are, no doubt, also getting their collections up-to-date
false impression that when Australia changes to decimal currency our present penny may be revalued as one cent (1.2d)".
SHORTAGE INTERUPTS MINTING PROGRAMME Mr. Suter said that despite appeal from the Federal Treasury an acute penny shortage still existed throughout the country and this in turn amounted to an overall national shortage. In many communities banks are short of pennies and in some instances have had to ration thes had to ration these to customers. "But, looking beyond the local aspect, this shortage is a national problem because if it persists it could adversely affect the proposed changeover to decimal currency in 1966", Mr. Suter said. "The branches of the Royal Mint at Melbourne and Perth are well advanced with their minting programme of the huge numbers of new bronze coins

"This is a fallacy and so, with the exception of some rare pennies, the rest are worth id. and will never be worth any more". "There is nothing to gain" Mr. Suter said "by holding on to pennies at this stage and those folk who do so are making it difficult for banks to overcome the current shortage". Mr. Suter said he felt sure that the residents of Western Australia would appreciate the seriousness of the penny circulation for the benefit of everybody. An interesting aspect of the present coin situation is that in Australia today there is approximately £3,657,000 in copper coinage.

duties which are theirs as members of the Church, and those which they have as members of human society. Let them strive to reconcile the two, remembering that in every temporal affair they must be guided by a Christian conscience, since even in secular business there is no human activity which can be withdrawn from God's dominion. In our own time, however, it is most urgent that this distinction and also this harmony should shine forth more clearly than ever in the lives of the faithful, so that the mission of the Church may correspond more fully to the special conditions of the world today. For it must be admitted that the temporal sphere is governed by its own principles, since it is rightly concerned with the interests of this world. But that ominous doctrine which attempts to build a society with no regard whatever for religion, and which attacks and destroys the religious liberty of its citizens, is rightly to be rejected (5).

U.N. GIVEN POPE'S APPEAL FOR PEACE
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.— AN AUTOGRAPHED TEXT OF POPE PAUL'S APPEAL FOR A HALT IN THE RACE AND HIS ARMS PLEA FOR ASSISTANCE TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES HAS BEEN FORMALLY PRESENTED TO UN SECRETARY U THANT Presentation of the text was made by Monsignor Alberto Giovannetti, permanent observer of the See to the UN Holy The appeal is the one addressed by the Pope to the press corps during his visit to the International Congress Eucharistic in Bombay, India, last December. The letter transmitting the embossed document was signed by Amleto Cardinal Cicognani, Papal Secretary of State. The letter said the response to the Pope's appeal in Bombay was so great, both in the press and in other communications media throughout the world, that it aroused hopes that "the words of His Holiness would find generous response on the part of governments." DIVERT FUNDS • "Well aware of the constant efforts made by the United Nations to incite peoples to limit armaments," the letter continued "and to devote the funds available through disarmament to purposes of economic and social development, the Sovereign Pontiff desires to entrust to

your excellency, in your high office as secretary general of the United Nations, this paternal appeal for peace and in favour of humanity. He would ask your excellency kindly to make use of it, in the manner you consider most opportune, in accordance with the statutes of the organisation, so that the expectation of so many may not be deceived. "His Holiness, who follows with particular attention and interest the activity of the present nineteenth General Assembly, formulates best wishes that the state of the United Nations' twentieth year of existence, which has been most timely proclaimed 'International Co-operation Year,' may also mark the beginning of a long period of active collaboration and wellbeing in the community of nations, which will find, in the United Nations, the best instrument of mutual understanding and pacification."
In his _address to the Press corps in Bombay Pope Paul urged the cessation of the arms race and the devotion of resources and energies to the "fraternal assistance of the developing countries." "Would that every nation," he said, "thinking thoughts of peace and not of affliction and war, contribute even a part of its expenditure for arms to a great world fund for the relief of the many problems of nutrition, clothing, shelter and medical care which affect so many peoples." In presenting to U Thant the autographed text and letter of transmittal Monsignor Giovannetti said "the Holy See remains steadfast in its conviction that disarmament, and the consequest utilisation of national resources for the 'fraternal assistance of developing countries' will remain among the noblest goals that the United Nations can achieve in the future,"
Less Debate More Voting VATICAN CITY.: LESS DEBATE AND MORE VOTING IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THE FOURTH AND FINAL SESSION OF T H E ECUMENICAL COUNCIL THAT BEGINS ON SEPTEMBER 14. That is the opinion expressed in an interview by the director of the council press office, Monsignor Fausto Vallainc. Monsignor Vallainc said that as a result it may not be necessary to have five
general council meetings a week. He reported that a procedure is being considered which may cut meetings and give more time for council commissions to get pending documenst into final fom. Council Fathers, however, will still have to debate four major schemas — religious freedom, the Church in the modern world, missions, and priestly life and ministry.

VATICAN CITY: Prompted by the gesture of Pope Paul VI, who last 14ovember 13 donated a tiara (triple crown) to the poor, the nearly 3,500 Religious of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus throughout the world have done the same thing with their gold rings of consecration. Proceeds from the sale of the rings were presented to the Pope by the society's superior, Mother General Sabine de Valon. The nun asked for the Pope's 4elessing in return "so that the Society of the Sacred Heart may progress more and more along the path of poverty which the Holy Church traces." A simple silver band was substituted for the gold one which is customarily given each Religious when she makes her profession of vows as a "bride of Christ."
Good Advice
DENVER (NC) The judge dispensed a bit of advice— "Spend a day in a divorce court before you become a statistic in the increasing divorce rate in this city and in the nation." District Judge Sherman G. Finesilver, speaking to the Denver Youth League, composed of parochial and public school student leaders, urged students to give "the most careful consideration to the responsibilities of marriage and parenthood." The Judge said the national divorce ratio is one divorce for every four to five marriages, but warned the ratio in Denver is one divorce in every two marriages, and the trend is increasing.

Congress Of Religious Sisters TODAY'S NUN TODAY'S WORLD: ADAPTATION
TEACHER'S TASK IS TO HELP THE MODERN GIRL TO CHRISTIAN MATURITY
The Religious Woman in today's world was ex- In reading her paper on "How we can best understand and help the modern girl and exercise the A postolate" Mother Mary Basil Short amined from every aspect in a congress held last O.S.U. made the point that their task was to help the modern girl to Christian maturity, not her counterpart of fifty, twenty or even ten week at Loreto Convent, Claremont. years ago.
O rganised by Nuns and run by Nuns with some selected speakers from Religious men, today's Nun was looked at from the point of view of the work that she did, where she did it and the Nun herself, at the Fourth Congress of Religious Sisters. The Congress would have no binding power but in the spirit of charity problems concerning the Religious W oman were put forward by speakers for discussion. The delegates would take the ideas back to their own c ongregations, in their own General Chapters and as the need arose in their own special circumstance the necessary adaptation would be made. They would do this because all showed equal resolve in finding the best method of living their apostolate in the world as it is now, and planning for the future.
in the business-like way required by apostolic responsibilities."
ment to the Sisters bring better understanding, peace and fervour in the community, attract more vocations? • What is the considered opinion and what are the desires of the great majority of the Sisters about some specific points of the constitutions? He said that the loyal answer to these questions could provide the basis for some opportune changes in tne various Religious Institutes.
DELEGATE Speakers re-echoed the words of the Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Enrici, who in his opening address to the Congress offered four questions to be answered: • What would the founders of our Institutes do, if they were living now.— • Supposing we had to start anew our Societies in the present time, what are the modifications to our It was in this atmospnere rules we would consider of getting things done that natural and necessary? the 200 delegates went about • What are the changes the four day Congress. which, if they were intro- Eleven papers were presentduced would give better ed and all were discussed in health and more content- panels and groups.
She said that "one of the most important characteristics of today's adolescent seems to be the sudden opening of her whole being to a new world of unlimited knowledge and possibilities."
"In a way this is a good thing, but it has its dangers" she said. "It developes an over-independent attitude and a lack of restraint, *filch often make youth too ready to take moral risks".
Mother Basil gave a very adequate summary of what goes to make up the girl pupil at college today. She said that there are many aspects of modern life which are a great help in the development of true character and modern youth came to the teacher with vital potentialities for good which must be encouraged and realised.
"These young people become easily influenced by prevailing neo-pagan ideas regarding dress, reading, amusements, dating, marriage and family planning." "They are encouraged to be independent" she said, "and again this is good but unless it is guided they do not think realistically or deeply enough and their judgments tend to be superficial".
FREEDOM She said that modern youth demands, and enjoys greatly increased freedom at home, in social life and even in decisions relating to their future life.
COUNTERS Two of the major pro1.-.1ems which Mother Basil picked out were superficiality and instability, which she countered by urging reflection, quiet, retreat and
mental prayer and for instability a lot of discussion and reasoning. She said that the critical faculty must be trained so that the modern girl can form sound judgments on matters themselves. The sense of responsibility had to be developed and this sense of responsibility had to be a special sense precisely as women "Here I think" she said, "the sacrament of Confirmation must be exploited: it has made them adults in the- Church, witnesses for Christ. Their witness is to be given according to their status as Christian women".
Father J. WILKINSON, C.M. The Vows, Prayer, the Junior Professed, the Meaning of Chastity, the Vocation and the Apostolate, the Modern Girl, Vocations, the Religious Nursing Sister and Modern Life, Adaptation and the Community and the Ecumenical Movement. All these subjects were dealt with in a competent manner, sometimes critical, always constructive. The talks aimed at the Religious being effective in what she is, a woman freely bound by vows saving her soul in the quest of perfection and aiming through the work of education of the young or the nursing of the sick or looking after the poor and destitute in social welfare work to save the souls of others. THE MAIN POINT Adaptation to the modern world might have been the keynote and the intentions of the congress but one thing emerged with crystal clarity. This was apparent from the papers read, the discussions which followed and the informal talks in the grounds. It was carried on in cars converging on the congress site each morning and leaving each night. This was the all important point that no matter what the personal or communal adaptation, the change in the externals to meet the needs of the modern apostolate would be or need be made, the Nun remained a w oman of prayer and at prayer. As Father J. Wilkinson, C.M., said in his address. No amount of apostolic striving can relagate this prayer -life to an insignificant period. Prayer alone can sustain this intensive life for Christ when it has to be lived at a long, indefinite period, and when it has to be lived at an intensive pitch, such as alone Can hope to influence souls
Mother BASIL SHORT, O.S.U.
EDUCATORS Outlining the responsibility of the Nun as a Christian educator Mother Basil made the following points: • Understand the modern w orld. • Know our Christianity. • Teach it realistically. • Be aware of the need of individual direction and guidance. • Exercise judgment in the selection of teachers of senior classes. • Parent -Teachers co-operation is a necessity. • Christ is the solution to every problem.

Enough Time MOTHER M. CECILIA, the Mother General of the Presentation Congregation of Australia, and MOTH1M her BERCHMANS, M. Mother Assistant, said that although, in this modern time, most members of the various orders had a heavy schedule of work, there was still enough time left for meditation and reflection for their religious formation. "We try to balance the programme," they said. Like most of the delegates they tound that the discussions during the congress had been excellent and vigorous. They found the discussion of common problems between the orders very helpful indeed.
New Emphasis
T wo West Australian members of the Home Missionary Sisters of Our Lady returned from the Eastern States to attend t he congress. They are Sister M. Dolores ( left) and Sister M. Magdalen. The order was founder in Launceston by Father J. Wallis in 1944. It aims to provide help and religious guidance to families living in remote areas.
SISTER M. MAGDALEN, Superior of the Home Missionaries of Mary at Parkes, N.S.W., said: "Every few years the order will review the habit to keep up with the modern dress and needs of the world." She said that one of the most helpful points gained from the congress regarding adaptation for teaching orders was the change in emphasis on the child to the needs of the whole family. "This will make for a wide and all embracing apostolate," she said
Most Helpful
To a reader who expressed alarm at photos of American nuns with ribbons in their hair and short skirts, the Vatican City weekly magazine asks: "Is it the habit, or something deeper and within that makes the nun?
SISTERS DELANDER and McGAHEY of Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor said: "The talks have been most helpful and will be a guide for the future, especially in regard to the methods of obtaining vocations." They said it was good to meet o ther orders and share their views.
External Change SISTER M. DAVID, a Provincial Counsellor of the Marist Sisters in Merrylands, N.S.W., said: "I think our order has gone strides in keeping up with modern trends and hasn't become terribly outmoded, although it was founded in 1824." She said that the basis of Religious life can't really be changed. "The interior life must remain solid and untampered with. The main realm of change is in the externals. The Marist Sisters have r:ione of number of things help the young which Sisters in the transformation from home life to Religious life. "For example," Sister David said, "each Sister has her own comfortably furnished room and there is plenty of time for recreation and sporting activit;es."

The alarmed lady had written to a newspaper. "I have seen in a magazine a picture of some American nuns who have taken off the veil and the long skirt and now look like any other young women, in a kind of black suit with skirts up to their knees, transparent stockings and a ribbon In their hair. . .

shorten their skirts," L'Osservatore della Domenica r eplied. "It is understandable that people who are conservative by education, temperament, mentality, find it difficult to accept inovations, however modest. But there should be a limit of c ommon sense and logic to all our reactions." The Vatican City magazine asked, "Why should there be a different modesty one for nuns and the other for the rest of women?" It also drew attention to the history of dress for nuns. "No doubt you know that at the time religious orders were founded, nuns dressed like other women, and that it was only later that a difference came about simply because nuns, unlike other women never followed changes in the style of dress. "Any way, it was the highest authority of the Church that advised and r ecommended a simplification of the religious habit." ( This was a reference to the late Pope Pius XII's exhortation to nuns to modonise their garb.).
Brown Nurses R IGHT: Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor, an order new to most West Australians, were represented at the congress by Sisters Delander ( left) and McGahey. This order, commonly k nowr, as "Brown Nurses," wa: founded in New South Wales by Father Edward McGrath M.S.C. in 1913, with Eilleen O'Connor as the first superior. There are now 29 members in the congregation which has houses in Coogee, Newcastle and Brisbane. The Brown Nurses, unlike many Congregations whose work for the poor lays mainly in established hospitals and homes, go right into the homes of the sick and needy. There is no distinction of creed, race or colour. Poverty is their keynote. Besides providing the patients with medicines, the Brown Nurses often bring household furniture, equipment, food and clothing. They also take care of the house, if need be. But above all they bring hope and friendship and cheerfulness.
Miss Margaret O'Neill ( left ) and Miss Barbara Shea were t wo members of Ver Sacrum Mariae, a Lay Institute founded in Melbourne in 1957 to promote the dedicated wa-y of life in the world, who attended the congress. Miss Shea is the Superior of the Institute. Members of the Institute take simple vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, but stay in the world working as nurses, typists, teachers etc. and penetrate the ordinary everyday environment so that by living a full Christian life they c an help bring Christianity back into the world.

BISHOP PRAISES THE ORGANISERS AND SPEAKERS In the concluding address at the congress Bishop McKeon thanked Mother Rosalie and the members of the Loreto Community for the warm hospitality which they had extended to all visitors to the congress. He thanked Father Connolly, D.C.L., of St. PatManly College, ricks's N.S.W. who acted as chairman during the proceedings and Father Barden S.J., of St. Thomas More College who acted as chaplain to the congress. In expressing his thanks to the members of the organising committee Bishop McKeon said they had done the rounds of Australia and certainly they could not have found people more highly qualified to treat of the subjects dealt with in the congress than those who had presented their papers each day. GREAT HEIGHTS The various speakers as they dealt with their subjects had taken their listeners up to great heights and had led them to view their work and problems in the light that radiated from Christ the supreme teacher and guide, but now the congress had come to an end the time for implementing the findings of the congress was at hand. 3:74
His
words of the Apostolic Delegate who in his opening address to the congress had called on them for an adaptation to modern life. Explaining what is meant by adaptation His Excellency said, "By adaptation a Religious conforms herself to two main characteristics of the Church. Catholicity, which makes the Church suitable for all peoples and nations and youthfulnes, which makes her always modern, capable of living under all conditions." "The Sisters are very clearly prepared to work towards that goal of adaptation in all its implications." His Lordship said.

Referring to the transfiguration he said "When the great mission of the Transfiguration had past, the Apostles, looking up saw no one but only Jesus, so you too . in making your decisions must see no one but cnly Jesus. Let him be your guide."
THE OTHER SPEAKERS
Bishop McKeon said that as St. Paul rode on his Arabian steed, he was struck down on the road to Damascus and as he lay there on the ground the Master spoke to him. Paul lying there helpless, raised his voice saying, "Lord what wilt Thou have me to do?" "Let that be your fervant plea." 'Lord what wilt Thou have me to do?" His Lordship told the delegates. In conclusion Bishop McKeon wished all the visitors a safe journey home and assured them that a warm welcome awaits them when ever they return to Western Australia.
there is a great laik of vocations. Some of the reasons he advanced were: • Lack of contact with girls and parents. • Some religious habit s are antiquated. • The imprudence of some Sisters in dealing with the young. • The poor spirit of charity among some. • Dull religious classes.

PAID TRIBUTE Commenting on the congress afterwards Bishop McKeon paid tribute to the priests who day after day had attended the congress and had made such a valuable contribution to its success by entering into wellbalm:red dialogue with the Sisters in a Ar: e variety of topics.

He also outlined some positive approaches already used by some to remedy the problem of why do not more Australian girls enter Religious life. Father Joachim gave a pretty accurate picture of the Australian girl of today with her ability, personality, and her faith. He described Australia's Nuns of whom he said "we can be proud of our Sisters in Australia today. They are devoted in their religious life, sacrificial in the work, zealous for Christ and His Church." Yet in spite of these two,

a positive approach to the fostering of vocations. He advocated the fostering of regular life in Convents and above all in training houses. "Nothing contributes more to inspiring vocations than the exemplory life of those who have been properly formed," he said. He spoke of adaptation and its role in promoting vocations. "This is no time for timidity or mediocrity. If the Church is calling us insistently to adaptation, if she herself is leading the way in it, we also must fulfil a modified role as members of the Mystical Body of Christ." Finally he urged modern recruiting methods even to the extent of using, trained recruiters from the Institute. These he said would have to be solidly grounded in spirituality, history and task of the Order and ab;e to travel, correspond, contact and foster the vocations in today's girls.

I AM WHO A ( Exodus 3, 13-15)
Here is an outline, for possible use by lay c athecists teaching High School pupils, of the arguments about the existence of God. The treatment is as simple as possible, but a'ccurate as far as it goes. It is also up-to-date. Please send in your comments, and any suggestions for suitable subjects and ideas for this column. Christian belief in God is founded on Revelation, as recorded in the Bible and in Church Tradition, but for use in teaching and dialectic a number of philosophical arguments have been set up. Immediate Knowladge A few cases of direct a wareness of God are recognised by the church, but some pious people insist that we all "feel" the Divine Presence. This is a mistake. The Angels were aware of God from the moment of their creation, but we are destined to live out our life as a period of growth, training and testing, away from the compelling influence. We can, however, demonstrate that belief in God is reasonable. Desire and Reason There must be a Being than whom none is more perfect, good etc., because . . . "Any argument that begins in such terms can only be an expression of our strong yearnings. Because we can think of perfection, goodness, beauty, the infinite, the ordered, the unique and of ideal love. It does not follow that they exist outside our mind. Reasoning from Experience The detailed study of experience is the business of the sciences, so whatever we say about it must take into account the findings and theories of science.
Brieflyly, this is the position at Present:— We can think of "emptiness", so we may imagine that there was a time "in the beginning" when nothing existed. But there must always have been something because otherwise there would still be nothing. Something must exist necessarily. As far as we know there is nothing in the universe that exists on its own. So we naturally believe that God is the necessary being. The merit of this argument is that it makes belief in God reasonable, but it does not show that God and the necessary being are the same. In rebuttal, some scientists say the the search is not yet over. Perhaps some sub-atomic particle or some fact about space will yet show that matter is selfexistent. Such people believe that they will one day be able to show the whole universe "evolving" from energy to nebula, from star to planet, from non-living to living and from germ to human-being. This is a tall order. But the present reaction against the old ideas is so strong in academic circles that those who disagree, rather than risk loss of status, prefer to remain neutral till effective opposition can be marshalled. Design and Purpose evolutionists Dogmatic maintain that, given matter

Stopped Riding
After the running of the 6 fur. Bentley Hcp. in which the hot favourite SARA'S LAMP was sensationally beaten many reasons were advanced for the filly's failure. Some claimed she had too much weight, others that 12 marble was too wide, but surely the real reason is that her rider stopped riding her when it was thought she had the race won a short distance from the post. This enabled wily Jack Marshall to just get PANCHALEX up on the post. Some jockeys will never learn that a race is not won until the post has been passed. Saw famous "Scobie" Breasley beaten on an odds on chance in a classic at Caulfield some years ago. He indulged in a bit of "flash" riding by dropping his hands too soon and an outsider flashed up and beat him a breath "Scobie" paid the penalty as he was smartly suspended which included him out during a lucrative Melbourne Cup Carnival. He vowed he would never fall for that caper again.

tably and is likely to win again over a bit more BEST ground. BOOTS (second) showed his first bit of form since coming to this State. As something has happened to this young horse at each of his recent starts he could still pay his way and his next start could tell. SHEROIC who was sensationally backed and well beaten at her previous start ran a much better race in this event. Starting from a wide barrier she made up a lot of ground to finish close to the placegetters. This could be another case of a horse being backed too soon.
STANLEO was responsi ble for a first class perfor. mance when he won the 61 fur. Novice 2. Punters who took the short price about him were far from happy when he was slow away and was last of a strung-out field after going a furlong. Gradually he improved his position, but his prospects on the turn did not look too bright, once in the straight he produced real speed and ran out a comfortable winner. This run stamps him as a promising type of horse.

In the run home KING ARANA who is more seasoned, did the better and won by a narrow margin from DE GAULLIO with APTOBE half a length away in third place. GREENTOI did well to flash home with 9.2 in fourth place.

Just Too Far Hot favourite FORTIFIER found- the 74 fur. of the Coventry Hcp. a bit far for him. BURNHILL who has been over longer distances cut him down in the straight and gained a clear cut win. It appeared that too much use was made of FORTIFIER in the early stages but it is possible his rider thought it unwise to restrain him. Like most of the MAKARPURA breed the shorter the distance the better which evidently applies to him. This horse will soon make amends.

Weight Suits Ridden by apprentice W. Best KUANTAN'S weight was reduced to 8.6—a luxury weight for him—in the principal race of the day over 9 fur., and it payed no small part in his half head victory over pacemaker FRASER ROAD. Strange but the second horse was once owned by KUANTAN'S owner and was named after the street in which he lives in Applecross. In the light of his last good win FARID BEY was sent out favourite but ran a shocking race. It now seems clear that this grey can only win when plenty of pace is on in front which is too seldom for him. Racing out of his class GOLD FLIGHT ran a surprisingly good fourth. The next time this horse strikes a weaker field he is going to take a lot of beating.

However, it provided little difficulty in interpretation or comprehension. The only 'modern' work of the evening was Brit ten's Cello Sonata, also in C.

James Whitehead and Lance Dossor, illustrates the dilemma of modern music expressed by Ansermet in his famous lectures in London last year. In this work Britten has concentrated on 'How' (music in which technique is of overwhelming importance) instead of 'Why' (music as an expresion of feeling or ideas). The sounds themselves were pleasant rather than not, but it is difficult to see much meaning or significance in the work. Lance Dossor began this instrumental concert with the Italian Concerto. The keyboard works of Bach as so rarely performed in Perth that they are more familiar on disc, and that usually means the more authentic harpsichord. There is an irony in having to turn back to the piano in public when the rest of the world is moving forward to the harpsichord. However, even Wanda Landowska herself had no objection to Bach on the piano provided the performance was musical and Lance Dossor certainly provided that. He began with a great deal of dash in the Allegro, so much indeed that ho forced himself to a dizzy pace in the Presto; however, he managed to hold the work together with good balance and control James Whitehead then gave us the Suite for Violoncello in D. He seemed very subdued in his approach to the work and, to my mind, this reduced his performance in lucidity and meaning. Lance Dossor returned to play three well-controlled Preludes and Fugues from 'The Well-tempered Clavier' and then the two artists combined with a beautiful performance of the Sonata for Violonchello and Cembalo.
Winter's Tale
Edgar Metcalf'es production of "The Winter's Tale" is currently playing at the New Fortune Theatre. This, one of Shakespeare's later comedies, has an air of impending tragedy about it, but here Shakespeare uses the famous device of the statue of Hermione to bring all to a happy ending. The play was an interesting comment on the theme of jealous husbands — a prominent feature of "Othello," the other New Fortune production. Whilst this production is not notable for any innovations, it does use the theatre adequately. This is the first time a comedy has been played here and the intimacy that one felt was a taste of the great things that must surely come. Frederick Parslowe's Leontes was most satisfying. Here indeed was a King of Sicily walking the giant stage. Judy Wilson was a passionate and gracious Her mione. Miss Wilson has the best ear for poetry of any actress now working in Perth. Good comic support came from Ron Haddrick as a rather too mincing, to my mind, Autolicus and James Beattie and Frederick Lees as the shepherds. Nita Pannell was a popular performer and, true enough, she brought a breath of life to the stately Sicilian court, but with all r espect Miss Pannell is no Shakespearian lady. Altogether this was a very happy production. —D.I.T.
This year's Festival has brought us so much variety and quantity of music that one is prepared to be indulgent as to performance. How wonderful it s, therefore, to give a wholehearted rave review to the University of Adelaide Wind Quartet and their associates, Patrick Brislan and Lance Dossor.

Pauline O'Connor's Recital
In the Christmas number of 'The Record,' we gay': some critical comment from Europe on this fine pianist. She has now returned to Perth for a short visit and will play the Bach D minor concerto at Win throp Hall on Saturday, January 30. Most readers get their copy on Sunday and therefore will be reminded of this concert too late. However, the big occasion will be on Monday, February 3 when she will be giving a piano recital. The many hundreds of r eaders who remember her as a young student of great promise will be eager to hear the finished product and we can all be justly proud of this Perth girl. The programme which was announced in thr Christmas number has been changed and is now as follows: Mozart: Sonata in B flat major K333. Beethoven. Sonata in E flat Opus 27 No. 1. BrahmF.

YOUR COLOURING-IN COMPETITION
BROTHER JUNIPER
lrriVrith- jin
* DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS There is a new colouring competition for you this week and I hope you wi ll all attempt to colour it. I was a l ittle disappointed with the number of entries for the last one. When you have c oloured it don't forget to post your entry. I have heard that a number of c hildren colour these pictures and cut t hem out, but that is as far as they get. The results for the last competition are published elsewhere on this page. Next Monday is Australia Day and I think you should all take a little time to think on the really purpose of this day. It commemorates the foundation of this country. I am afraid that most of us regard it as being just another hol iday. In other countries this would be one of the big days of the year with special ceremonies and functions to mark the occasion. In Australia the emphasis seems to be mainly on sporting activities. On Monday you should all be sure to say a prayer that Our Lady wil l keep Australia free from war and the people who want to change our way of life from the democracy we enjoy to-day. Why not try and go to Mass that morning. MAUREEN KILLEEN wrote to me this week I am glad you enjoyed your holiday MAUREEN, and I hope the cake turned out O.K. God bless you all, BROTHER JUNIPER.

THE EDUCATION PROBLEM OF ITALY'S GOVERNMENT
MISSION NOTES
THE DISUNITY displayed by the Christian Democratic Party during the recent Presidential elections disquieted the Vatican. The Christion Democrat's disunity finally forced the Vatican to intervene through editorial comment in "L'Osservatore Romano." It would l ike a new combination of pol itical forces to emerge within the Christian Democrats or between the Christian Democrats and the non-Communist left-wing parties which will ensure at least that the Catholic position on schools and matrimony is maintained.
By Rev. Father W. J. Foley THREE WISE MEN CAME TO KABANGA Triplets were born at Kabanga. All were over 41 lbs. and all were boys. Their mother, whose husband had been accidentally killed a while before their birth, was, contrary to expectation, delighted. Of course, she was the centre of attraction, and people came from far and wide to see the babies. Their father had been a Catholic, their mother is a catechumen, and all the brothers and sisters are Catholic, so Christian names had to be found for the babies. Peter, James and John, was one suggestion; but there was already a John, in the family. Luke, Cosmas and Damian was another nobody but suggestion; seemed too excited about that either. One morning, during my morning round, the mother produced a piece of carefully folded paper. "The catechist from our village sent this", she said, "the babies are to be called by those names." We opened the paper, and there, were the obvious names that not one of us had thought of: Gasper, Melchior and Bal tazar. Sr. Margaret, M.M.M. NON-CATHOLIC CHIEF GIVES CATHEDRAL ORGAN Nigeria's non - Catholic Federal Minister of Finance, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh. has presented the new Sacred Heart Cathedral now being built here with ki tropicalised electrical organ valued at £4,149 sterling. In a letter to the priest at Warni he said that he was sure that the organ would "befit the dignity and size of the Church." he added "I would like to thank the Catholic Missions for their work throught the world and especially for what your Church has done for Nigeria." This is Chief OkotieEboh's third gift to the Catholic Church in new Warni Diocese. Earlier he gave a gift of £1,000 sterling towards the construction of the new Cathedral, and before that he had donated an Catholic the to organ Church at Sapelle, where he lives. One of the Chief's daughters became a Catholic while at school and is now studying medicine in Dublin.

ing their attention to the question of aid. There are, in all, 6000 private schools with 800,000 pupils. About 8 per cent of primary school students attend private schools but in the secondary schools the proportion rises to 14 per c ent and in the univertities to 15 per cent. The Catholic school system takes threequarters of the pupils attending primary schools, those in of t wo-thirds secondary and nearly all those in the non-State universities. The Catholic system is particularly strong at certain points: it runs more kindergartens that the State a quarter of all pupils in the 1st years of secondary Catholic attend school schools; and half the students at teachers' colleges are Catholic. Apart from the religious instruction they impart, private schools are selected because they are better equipped or less crowded, because pupils mix there with others of their own class (on the average they are ten times more expensive than the State schools), because they will look after children until their parents return from work, and because they may ensure promotions. This last point is bitterly Some private debated. school advocates claim that in public oral examinations is discrimination there private school against pupils. Those opposed to the private schools claim that they exert bureaucratic, political and clerical pressure to ensure that their pupils are promoted. On this point a convergence may be possible between all those interested in education. Although there will remain a residue of resentment because of the personal element in judgements made in oral examinations, private and State schools could agree on setting standards. Once this was done they could unite in bringing pressure against the "clandestine" schools which exploit gullible parents. At the moment against action these schools is difficult not only because of the confusion regarding standards in long-established the schools. Catholic The privat school could take the insitiative in pressing for an e ffective control regarding educational standards as proof that they are making a contribution to the nation's educational effort
which deserves recognition from all. They should show they have more in common with the State schools than with those private schools which are excuses from irresponsibility. In this, as in other questions, it is crucial for Italian Catholics to try to bridge the gap which divides them from "lay" forces by showing their concern for the common good. In this case it means a concern for and, values educational more particularly, an intelligent interest in the adaption of the Italian education system to new needs. A large part of this battle has been fought over the place of Latin in the school system. Towards the end of last year Cardinal Bacci of the Roman Curia published "With Latin in the service of four Popes" which pleaded for Latin as an essential element in humanistic education. Cardinal Bacci, of course, is entitled to his viewpoint but in the education debate to which he referred many have identified such viewpoints with that of the Church which seemed wedded in Latin. For this reason Cardinal Lercaro's speech in the fourth Council sesthe distinguishing sion Church from any culture had a particular resonance in Italy where educational reform can be miscontrued as a "lay" attack on the basis of Christian culture.
Wood, Coal and Coke
The introduction of a vernacular liturgy throughout Italy on March 7 will likewise contribute to lessen the confusion between the Church and Latin. That may help Italian Catholics to see what "lay" forces want may not be aimed against the . Church but against its accretions. Eventually it may even lead to the abandonment of the use of "lay" as a synonym for "anti-Catholic". FOR QUALITY MEAT

By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen "Going to Mass" will not save us unless we "live out the Mass" in our lives. We at spectators not are Christ's sacramental death on the altar; we are actors. We do not watch Him die for the world's sin: we die with Him! Oh! May the Holy Spirit teach us that the world is on our back as the Cross was on the back of Christ. Christ did not die for outparish or our diocese. He died for ALL 777ankind! Sin is not private business. A nSOlUtIOn

f orgiveness of my sin and a restoration to the friendship of God. It is a restoration to God's community, to His Redeemed Society. in order that I may carry out unrist S work of redeeming tthe world's sin. I, the contrite—how lime I ever borne the world's evil except to condemn it? Did you ever lessen a leper's sores? Did you ever convert a sinner from the error ot his ways, either here or in Africa? Did you ever educate a seminarian in Asa to win souls for Christ before their irinds are en
slaved by Marx? Did you ever make a Holy Hour in reparation for the Moslem expulsion of our missionaries from the Sudan? May the Holy Spirit inspire you to be truly "catholic." If you share these sentiments —are willing to do your part to walk into Gethesernane of the world—let me hear from you with your offering for a Mass, or alms, or prayers or sacri fice for the world's evil.

MORAL RIGHT TO WHITE AUSTRALIA
R.: Again and again I have made clear the Offer ence between the moral right and freedor, to exercise it or not. There is no obligation whatever to enforce immigration laws limiting entry to Australia for permanent settlement to people of European stock. The Australian people are quite entitled to advocate and agitate for the abolition of all restrictions if they wish, and elect parliarepresentatives mentary who will effect such changes in the laws of this country. But if the majority of Australians do not wish that, under conditions prevailing in the world at present, they have the moral right to retain the present policy. DEMANDS OF CHARITY Q.: To my mind, it sets a

PROF. ANTHON ON MORMON CLAIMS
R.E., Visiting Missionary: Q.: In a booklet of yours on the Mormons, p. 6, you say that Professor Anthon, lecturer on ancient languages at Columbia University, New York, speaking of the "Golden Plates" from which Joseph Smith translated the "Book of Mormon," admitted that Joseph Strum's companion, Martin Harris, had shown him a copy of some strange characters claimed to be made from the "Plates," but said: "The whole story about my having pronounced the Mormonish inscription to be 'reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics' is perfectly false." You give no reference and I challenge you to state your source of information. R.: In an 18-page overall survey of Mormonism one can't expect the critical apparatus to be found in larger works. The words I quoted were written by Professor Charles Anthon in a letter to E. D. Howe, dated February 17, 1834. My source for this citation was F. M. Brodie's book, "No Man Knows My History," published as a definitive biography of Joseph Smith by Alfred A. Knopf, New York, U.S.A., in 1954; a book which the "New York Times" described as: "One of the best of all Mormon books, scholarly, comprehensive and judicial . . . a masterly job of thorough research." My citation of that book is from p. 52. There is a copy of the book in the Sydney Public Library. AN IMAGINATIVE "WITNESS." Q.: Where did you get your information that Martin Harris • never saw the "Gold Plates" himself? I challenge you to say. R.: F. M. Bodie writes, on p. 78 of the book I have mentioned: "Martin Harris was questioned by a Palmyra lawyer, who asked pointedly: 'Did you see the plates and engravings upon them with your bodily eyes?' To which he replied: 'I did not see them as I see that pencil case, yet I saw them with the eye of faith; I saw them just as distinctly asI see anything, around me— though at the time they were covered with a cloth.' ' Brodie quotes that as recorded by J. A. Clark, who was then in Palmyra, N.Y., on p. 256 of his book "Gleanings by the Way," published 1842, at Philadelphia, U.S.A.
