HIS FIRST TRIP EAST
NEW CHANGES WHICH INCLUDE THE OMISSION OF PSALM 42 AT THE BEGINNING OF MASS AND OF THE LAST GOSPEL WILL GO INTO EFFECT IN THE ARCHDIOCESE ON MARCH 7, THE FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT. The Bishops and priests of the Archdiocese met last Friday morning to discuss the new changes.
After the conference the following changes were issued.
The changes, which were made by the instruction of the Vatican Liturgy Commission, stress the community nature of Christian worship and take full advantage of the liturgy's educational and formative possibilities. Included in the changes below are some New Rites to be observed in the celebration of Holy Mass which have just been announced. In the introduction to the "Instruction for the Proper Implementation, of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy," it is read: "The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy is deservedly counted among the first fruits of the Second Ecumenical Vatican Council since it governs the most excellent part of the Church's activity. It will bear more.abundant fruit the more profoundly the pastors and faithful of Christ perceive its genuine spirit and put it into practice with goodwill. "Bishops and their assistants in the priesthood should relate their entire ministry ever more closely to the liturgy. In this way the faithful may derive the livine life in abundance from the perfect participation in the Sacred Celebrations md, made the ferment of Christ and the ;alt of the earth, will proclaim the divine life and communicate it to others." In article 19 the instruction states: "Pastors of souls shall strive diligently and patiently to carry out the command of the constitution concerning the liturgical formation of the faithful and their active participation, both internal and external, according to their age and condition, their way of life and standard of religious culture." Article 22 of the Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy states that "the regulation of the Sacred Liturgy depends solely on the authority of the Church, that is, on the Apostolic See, and as laws may determine, on the bishop. -Therefore, no person, even if he be a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in the Liturgy on his own authority." In addition to the Liturgical changes already in operation, the remaining provisions of the "Instruction for the Proper Implementation of the Constitution .on the Sacred Liturgy" will be officially introduced on the first Sunday of Lent, March 7. As from that date the following changes are to be implemented and observed uniformly in every parish. LOW MASS * Psalm 42 is to be omitted from prayers at the foot of the altar in ALL Masses—Latin and English. The priest begins Mass with the Sign of the Cross: ÷ In the name of the Father, and of the 'Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. I will go to the altar of God. R. To God who has gladdened me from childhood days. (Omit Psalm 42.) P. Our help is in the name of the Lord. R. Who made heaven and earth. Priest: Confiteor . . • People: May the almighty God, etc. Priest: Amen . . . People: Confiteor. Versicles and responses and "Let us pray" before the "Aufer a Nobis" are all in English.
* The opening words "Glory be to God on high" of the Gloria and"I believe in one God" of the Nicene Creed, must always be said by the priest alone. * After saying "Oremus" — "Let us pray," the celebrant pauses a while before extending his hands and 'saying the Collect. This New Rite is also to be observed before saying the Post - Communion Prayer. * In Masses celebrated with the people, the Lessons, Epistle and Gospel shall be read facing the people, either from the altar, from the ambo, or near the edge of the sanctuary area. * A qualified lector may read the Lessons and Epistle—always at the ambo or at the edge of the sanctuary area. The celebrant sits and listens. * The Gospel may be read by a Deacon or by a second priest, who says the "Munda cor meum" kneeling, seeks the blessing from the celebrant, and at the end presents the Book of Gospels for the celebrant to kiss. The celebrant stands at the sedilia when giving the blessing and during the reading of the Gospel. * If the celebrant reads the Gospel— after Lessons, Epistle, Gradual, etc., he goes to the lowest step of the altar, bows, recites the "Muda cor meum," after which he returns to the ambo and proclaims the Gospel. * The Prayer of the Faithful is to be recited or sung litanically before the Offertory after the words "Let us pray" or "Oremus" before the Offertory verse, on Sundays and Holy Days or other special occasions. The celebrant shall direct the prayer from the altar, from the ambo, or from the edge of -the sanctuary, but facing the people (New Rite). [ The authorised text of the Prayer of the Faithful is printed on Page Three and the faithful are asked to cut it out and take it with them to Mass on Sundays and Holy Days.] * The celebrant remains in the centre while preparing wine and water in the chalice (New Rite). * The prayer over the offerings, i.e. the Secret Prayer, shall always be said aloud, in Latin at Latin Masses, in English at English Masses, but always without "Oremus" or "Let us pray" (English ending . . . for ever and ever. R. Amen; Latin ending . . . per omnia, etc.). * No bell is prescribed for the Sanctus (New Rite). * The Doxology at the end of the Canon from the words "Per Ipsum" up to and including "per omnia saecula saeculorum. R. Amen," shall be said aloud always in Latin. Throughout the entire Doxology the celebrant lifts up the Chalice and Host for the little elevation, omitting the Signs of the Cross, and at the end genuflects only after the response Amen is given by the people.

Another Peace Plea PAUL VI has made a dramatic appeal for R OPE peace with the Vietnam crisis clearly in mind
but without directly referring to that particular outflaring of violence. The Holy Father said: "We must speak of peace, because still again humanity must tremble for the fate of peace. Still again menacing clouds overshadow noble nations, already so greatly tried, aggravating the painful situation in which they find themselves and multiplying sufferings and mourning, "We, the representative on, earth of the Prince of Peace, called to carry out our mission in days in which the world, after a promising abatement of conflicts, seems to desire to turn again to discords and conflicts, address ourself to all interested men. in whatever part of the world they may be, that the:. may save innocent people from new trials and ne-,v tears. * The Embolism, Libera Nos, etc., after the Pater Noster, shall aways be said aloud, in English in English Masses and in Latin in Latin Masses. * The Missal is not changed after Communion. The celebrant reads the Communion Antiphon and the Communion Prayers at the middle of the altar with the book at his left (New Rite). * The Last Gospel is to be omitted from all Masses. * The Leonine Prayers after Mass are suppressed.

BISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN discusses
ABS
ENCE OF LOVE CREATES FEAR; THE PRESENCE OF LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR.
We are inclined to make fun of the puerile fears of primitive man, such as those occasioned by thunder and lightning; but is not our modern world trying to overcome another kind of fear? Not that born of a ,belief in a higher Power, but rather a fear of the denial of that Power, resulting in panic, cowardice and flight. Is not an exaggerated deification of science, an unconscious desire to banish the things that we fear, through the manifestation of the power of man? The height differences between the Tower of Babel and the moon is considerable, but the human pride which manifests itself in building a tower to the heavens and scaling the moon is very much the same.
THE testimony of non-scientists is not likely to impress anyone of how much the deification of science is related to man's desire to escape from fear. One must, therefore, turn to a Nobel Prize winner and one of the scientists whose work prepared the atomic bomb, Harold Urey: "I
FEAR write to make you afraid. I myself am a man who is afraid. All the wise men I know are afraid." Is not the desire to lose our personality in some great social unit, is not the tendency of modern business to organise itself to larger and larger combines, is not the growth of Communism, which destroys persons in the fond promise of making them classmasters of the world, is not the levelling of humanity into "organisation men" nothing but a vast huddling of uneasy consciences to escape fear? As a psychiatrist put it: "It is frightening to observe how terribly lonely these men are in the midst of these anonymous masses, which they have helped to shape, because they were afraid of being left alone in the battle of life. And since these masses bear within themselves the inexorable law of power, they must inevitably turn against each other in a struggle which is infinitely more destructive than the individual struggles in times past." Love dispels fear. One must make a distinction between servile fear and filial fear. Servile fear is that which a citizen might have for a dictator, or a

On The Poverty Of The Nicatro Diocese When Monsignor Francesco Maiolo makes a pastoral visit to the hilly section of Nicastro in Calabria he travels by bulldozer. The track to the groups of houses on the outskirts of the towns of 32,000 inhabitants is so steep that climbing it is a great strain for the nearly 70 year old vicar -general. So he rides to the top of the town in on old rocking bulldozer. The 61 year old bishop of Nicastro, Renato Luisi, borrows a Fiat 500 when he wants to move around his diocese to meet his 140,000 faithful. These examples give some idea of the poverty of the district: there are no bulldozers available for those who want to reach their homes on the hill from the centre of Nicatro; most inhabitants travel the diocese on mules rather than in mini-cars. At Bella, one of the quarters of Nicastro, there are barely 5,000 inhabitants although only a few years ago there were more than 9,000. Almost half the population has emigrated to north Italy, to Switzerland, Germany or Australia. Despite the progress made in the development of Italy's south since the war large sections of it still live in a permanent depression. If Italy, a modern industrial nation, cannot save its south what hope have other Western nations of raising the standard of life in the underdeveloped countries through aid? Experience in Italy, as elsewhere, has shown that it is not merely a matter of pouring capital into depressed areas; development only comes about if there is a programme of education which gives an incentive for changes and teaches how they can be brought about. The American Peace Corps has been one means of doing this. Italy has its own Peace Corps although it does not go under that, or any other, name. For some years now groups of students and workers of both sexes have been travelling from Milan during their holidays to help the people of Nicostra. They followed the advent Vittorio Monsignor of Moietto as bishop of Nicostra. When he was a priest at Casale Monferrato Vittorio Moietto used to carry , IP4.04 , 41 , 11P~4.4 011.####4.0 , 04" , P#.0"41

out an apostolate in his spare time in the squallid quarters of the port of Genoa. He was used to contact with those living in the abject conditions but all the same he felt overwhelmed by the difficulties which faced him when he arrived in Nicostra. He mentioned his anxieties to a young Milanese political science student who had been his friend in the north. The political science student spoke of Nicastro's problems with some of his friends who decided they would spend their vacations there helping the inhabitants. Since 1961, when the first group made the long journey south, their number has grown yearly until it now reaches 70. A summary description of seven of the helpers gives an idea of the composition of the group of 50 students and 20 graduates: twentyone year old student of Arts; a law student and cartoonist whose first book of cartoons was published; a nurse; an architect employed by a large company; a bookkeeper; third and fifth year medical students and twenty two year old economics student whose brother, a priest, always accompanies the group on its expeditions. What did they discover on arrival in Nicostra? In Bella, for example, there is only one fountain which is the sole source of water. All in the quarter wash themselves and their clothes drink and bring their mules to drink at the one fountain. The poorest houses are of only two rooms and the people have to compete for space with the animals. There are many children and the mothers wait on the money sent by their husbands from Australia, north Italy, Germany or Switzerland. Some of the smaller villages of the region lack even a pathway leading to them. To reach the village one follows the bed of the river which is dry in summer but a toment in winter when the village remains isolated. As there are no churches in the isolated villages baptisms take place when children can be taken to bigger
centres. The dead are carried for hours on the bearers' shoulders to the cemetery as the only other transport is by mule. Often there is not even a shop. If there is one it is usually open for only a few hours a day and sells little other than pasta and matches. There is no doctor and as a doctor from a larger centre will request £20 for a birth the children are born without anyone in attendance. In some villages electric light has recently been installed but in others the new invention is still awaited. Shortly after the end of the second world war Carlo Levi wrote a book based on his experiences in Lucania. "Christ stopped at Eboli," to show that Christianity had not extended far south of Rome or at least, of Naples. But the inhabitants of Nicostra, further south than Lucania, were very generous to the Milanese students. They are so poor that they refuse to pay any taxes and the authorities have given up seizing their mules to action them. Nobody bids for them and as the town hall cannot be filled with sequestered mules the authorities no longer punish those who refuse any taxes. But each morning on their way to work the inhabitants of the Bella quarter of Nicostra left olives, fruit, bread and hot coffee in beer bottles outside the tents of the young people who had come from Milan to help them. The Milanese helpers worked in the fields assisted mothers with their children lent a hand in building a kindergarten. When they returned to Milan they contacted the fathers who had migrated there to help them in what can be a lonely, hard city. Some of the students travelled all day in the train from Milan to bring presents of clothes to the inhabitants of Nicostra on the first day of 1965. This year other students who came to know Nicostra in their vacations will return to teach there full time. Desmond O'Grady, via B Gosio 77 Rome.
slave for an inconsiderate master. Filial fear is a reverence of a child for a loving father, or a saintly person for God. This kind of fear is grounded on a oneness of will of the lover with the love of the beloved; it shrinks from ever doing anything which would give pain to the object of one's affections. Fear always looks to something, to some object outside of itself, which may bring harm. But love is based on a fortgetfulness of self. It looks to another, and specifically to the Merciful God. A bleeding man will look up to the physician who comes to heal him, and not to his own wounds.
hero's heart is filled with a passionate THEenthusiasm born of love for some purpose or some cause. The man who is trembling about personal consequences has no power to appreciate the thing of which he is afraid. There is no reverence where there is desperate fear. He who is trembling lest the lightning should strike him, has no heart to feel the grandeur of the flash. The man who has no sense of the God Who loved him first, dares not think about Him nor reverence Him. Perfect love takes out of the heart that bitter sense of possible evil, and gives one the clear eye to look into the centre of brightness and see there the light of infinite Mercy.

THE
Bishops Want To Have More English In Mass London: The bishops of England and Wales have announced that they have decided to seek permission to use more English in the Mass. They said they hoped to introduced the extended vernacular this coming Holy Week. For this purpose temporary translations have been sent to the Vatican for approval, pending a definitive English version of the missal, on which a translating committee is now working in co-operation with Catholics of other English-speaking countries, including Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
The bishops met in London to study the impact of the liturgical reforms introduced last Advent. Their statement said: "The bishops agreed to send the English texts to Rome for a more ample use of the vernacular. It is hoped to have agreement from Rome in time for Holy Week this year. These will be interim arrangements until the translating committee has produced a definitive English version of
the missal. COMMON FORM "The committee is in contact with representatives of the other English-speaking countries. They also consider the present common form in use and decided that a revision would be made at a later date after consultations with other hierarchies. It was announced in Rome that further modifications of the rubrics
are to be published shortly. "The bishops are well aware of the confusion which has inevitably resulted from the recent changes. At the same time it is evident from the reports that the reforms have been generally welcomed and will produce the spiritual fruits foreseen by the Vatican ( Ecumenical) Council. In the meantime they ask priests and people to be patient and to co-operate wholeheartedly in the successive stages of the renewal of the liturgy."

* Please cut out and keep for Benediction. CUCCEEDING Father Francis Chapman, whose term of office has just expired, Father Francis E. hunter has been appointed Director of St. Columban's Mission Society in Australia and New Zealand. The position corresponds to that of Provincial in a religious order and lasts for one, or at most two, five-year terms. Father Hunter was born at Malvern, Victoria, and was educated at the Christian Brothers' Schools, first at St. Kilda and later at Toorak. He went to St. Columban's Seminary, in North Essendon, fer his Spiritual Year and Philosophy, thence passing on to Dalgan Park, Ireland, where he was ordained in 1941. These were the turbulent war years when it was impossible to proceed to the missions. Father Hunter therefore volunteered as military chaplain. He was with the army in England for some time before being sent overseas. During the next four years he saw service in East Africa, India and Burma. He accompanied the now famous Wingate Long-Range Penetration Group on their second expedition. With this group he spent almost nine months west of the Chindwin River, behind the Japanese lines in Burma. At war's end, Father Hunter returned to Australia and shortly afterwards was appointed to the expanding missions in Japan. He served first as pastor in Kumamoto and later as priest-in-charge Kumamoto district. For the past few years he has been on promotion work for the Society in Australia. It is from these colourful and varied achievements t hat Father Hunter nolA goes to commend the missionary cause of the Columbans in this country and in New Zealand. The retiring Director, Father F. Chapman, has been appointed to the staff of St. Columban's Major Seminary at North Turramurra, New South Wales.

United States Vice-Consul Kenneth Keller told Western newsmen that the Cardinal was not harmed by youths who demonstrated against U.S. air strikes on North Vietnam, nor was anyone in the building hurt. Several of the window-smashing, ink-throwing protesters entered the building, but were dragged out by police before they could do any damage. Police allowed the demonstration to continue for an hour before they broke it up.

CARDINAL'S TOMB STILL DECORATED
ASKED TO EXPLAIN
THE tomb of Alojzije Cardinal Stepinac of Zagreb is still being decorated with fresh flowers and visited by many Yugoslav citizens. Cardinal Stepinac died on February 10, 1960, in the village of Krasic, in North Croatia, where he was confined by the Yugoslav communist government after his release from prison in 1951. People here regard the prelate as a martyr and a holy man. His tomb is located behind the main altar of th:. Zagreb cathedral.
DUTCH Foreign Minister Joseph Luns summoned Indonesian Charge d'Affaires Mohammed Sjarif to ask him to explain the killing of a Dutch priest, Father Jan Smit, 0.S.C., in West New Guinea last January 20. Sjarif promised to ask his government for more information. Father Srnit, 35, assigned to the mission at Aatf, was killed by an Indonesian civil servant "because he offended the Indonesian Republic."

SINCE most New Year Resolutions deal with things around us, they are probably already broken. WITH Lenten Resolutions, however, we probably get better acquainted with ourselves . . . who we are, where we are going and how we are going to get there. Everyman may have decided to spend—or "offer up"—his free moments catching up on all those little things that need fixing around the house and his wife may have decided to give up nagging about the accumulation of things to be done. All of which may add up to the peace and harmony of the home. But this is Everyman's business.

IDEAS
WHAT I would like to do for the next few weeks is give you some basic—not new—thoughts on the married life that you are living. Use them as you will during Lent, applying them to your own life as husband . . . wife . . . father . . . son . . . daughter f amily. There is an old saying that love is blind. To which someone added the further note of wisdom that—if love is blind, then marriage must be an institution for the blind. Like many jokes, if it is funny it is just because there is an element of truth contained in it. Which is another way of saying that while attention should be paid to the institution, it is also necessary to help the blind to see. This institution of Christian marriage has been in good hands since the beginning. It has had God for its architect. the Church as its builder, and modern theologians, philosophers, sociologists, psychologists and other experts of the day as its interior decorators. So, leaving well enough alone,I would rather take a brief look at the people who are living in this welldesigned and beautifully decorted institution of Christian marriage and just—"see how these Christians love one another." It is safe to say that, among other things, it takes two people to make a marriage. Among the necessary qualifications of these two people, it might be well if both were human beings, preferably the adult type. Other qualifications might be mentioned, but let's limit ourselves to this question: Who are these human beings who enter marriage and what do they expect from it?

One is the need loved. be to need the is other The love. This is not something fanciful, romantic or unrealistic on their part. The need of loving and being loved flows from their very natures as human beings. If the marriage does not fulfil these two needs, it will be unhappy and eventually dissolved, unless held together by an acute sense of duty or by a type of virtue bordering on, if not actually, heroic in nature. Sociologists can draw up their nice statistical tables showing the particular percentage of marital breakdown due to such external pressures as in-laws, money, housing conditions, alcoholism and the like. Perhaps 100 per cent of all marital failures might be ascribed by some people to one or a combination of these external pressures.
W HEN

YET, the fact of the matter is that all married couples at one time or another face one or many or even all of these external pressures. Why is it that in one case in-laws will break up a marriage and strengthen it in another? Why is it that in one case finances will be blamed for dissolution of marriage and in another money (or the lack of it and the consequent necessity of sacrificing together) will be one of the strong bonds between a couple? It might be suggested that in many cases the marital failure occurred because first, that marriage was not satisfying the couple's basic human needs of loving and being loved. When the external pressure was applied the marriage, lacking internal strength, collapsed like a wooden table whose legs had been eaten away by termites. In the case of the successful marriage, the presence of this outside pressure was just another occasion or impetus to one loving the other better and more perfectly and being loved more completely in return. To state the propostion that much unhappiness in marriage can be traced to the failure on the part of couples to fulfil their basic needs of loving and being loved is not to offer just another plausible theory for marital breakdown. This proposition is based on certain theological facts of life. It is on these facts of life that the essential approach to marriage should be made. Otherwise, all the talk and literature on marriage and family life can easily detour it from its purpose—to help married people live their life of love according to their gifts and the will of God. There is no doubt that many couples today lack an understanding and appreciation of Christian marriage. It is equally true that they lack an understanding of themselves. First of all, an understanding of themselves as they have been made by God, and then. an understanding of themselves in the way of love that is marriage. We will continue this discussion of "understanding ourselves" next week. * The address of the local Catholic Marriage Guidance Centre is 77 ST GEORGE'S TERRACE, PERTH.

THE
What We Can Do To Assist Immigrants
This Sunday for the sixteenth year in succession, Catholics in Australia commemorate Immigration Sunday; in doing so, they conform to a request of the Holy See, to a decision of the Bishops and to an appeal, as well, of the Commonwealth Government. In the initial years of its commemoration, Immigration Sunday had something of a dramatic appeal. Most people became conscious, r eadily, of a need to welcome, to advise and to aid actively the thousands of people entering the country of whom many were displaced, dispossessed, oppressed and persecuted people. Latterly, and in the past several years especially, most of the immigrants are reaching this country under vastly improved corcumstances. Just the same, all newcomers are in need of understanding and encouragement in surmounting the varied and oftentimes truly harassing obstacles that are in the way of their progress towards a stable, secure and contented life in a new land. The first concern of Catholic people for immigrants should be for their spiritual well-being, to which, of course, very naturally, is joined that of material wellfare. Spiritual well-being implies continuance or renewel of religious practices. Primarily, the Catholic Church is a missionary church. It has from its Divine Founder a mandate "to

preach the gospel to every creature"; also its Divine Founder has enjoined that "none shall be lost . . . of those given to her". Understandably, the immigrant, because he is required to bend all his energies to establishing himself and his dependants with the least delay, too often will spare little thought or time for his religious practices; he will become careless and indifferent as a Catholic; in number of other instances this carelessness and indifference will have been acquired before reaching Australia. A STRANGER Even with the best of intentions of remaining faithful to his religion the immigrant, particularly when he has little or no knowledge of the English language, will find himself a stranger in a new atmosphere and unaccustomed usages of his new parish church. These persons stand in serious need of kindly, personal assistance from pastors and parishioners alike; it is in this field of assistance of immigrants that lay people may well verify the designation of them by Pius XI as "the arms given by God and the Church to the mind and the heart of the pastor. Guidance and support from fellow Catholics, in a truly Christian approach, are much needed by newly arrived immigrants until they have been brought into close relationship with parochial life. In their abnormal condition of anxiety to establish themselves, of strangeness of environment of loneliness, they are especially vulnerable to the approaches of sects and subversive organizations, the price of whose aid or assistance is loss of Catholic belief. Since the commencement of large-scale, post-war immigration, Australia has received over one-and-a-half million immigrants, of whom a high proportion are Catholics. In the design of Divine Providence, the Church, thus, has acquired a numerical strengthening, which under conditions of normal growth, possibly, could have come about only after the passage of several decades.

but it adds greatly to the r esponsibilities and obligation of the Catholic community unon whose conscience rests the worthy fulfilment of such liabilities. Officially, the Church, as most people now are well aware, has sought from the outset of post-war immigration to provide a wide range of services to immigrants through diocesan, provincial and national migration committees or organizations. Through national the organizations, the Federal Catholic Immigration Committee, close collaboration with Government departments, at home and overseas, is maintained. Keeping in mind always the primary purpose of spiritual care, the Committee has continued to provide priests of like national origin and language of the main national groups; these priests, now numbering well over one hundred and of some twenty nationalities, are posted to selec ted points across the Con tinent where, under the jurisdiction of the respective bishops and in collaboration with the parochial clergy, they serve, in a spirit of exemplary zeal and devotion, the spiritual needs of thousands of immigrants. HEAVY EXPENDITURE Provisions of these services, incidentally, and of course, reasonably, occasion heavy expenditure. It is to meet these expenditures, in some measure at least, that each year, in conjunction with the commemoration of Immigration Sunday, there are collections in all churches. A continuing generous support of these collections is earnestly sought. Although it is to be accepted that assistance to immigrants is being attended to in an official and organized manner by the Church, it remains to be stated that there exists a need for a greater person to person assistance; this form of assistance, more than any other, serves to bring the immigrant to the desired and comforting stage of sensing and believing that at least he is of the country and the community; that he really belongs. CHRISTIAN CHARITY In such endeavour there is the exercise of true Christian charity; there is the presence of a graciousness and warmth and lack of condescension which the human dignity and personal worth of the immigrant merit and which, accordingly, encourage and inspire him in meeting his obligations, whether of family, society or Church. For old and new settlers alike, there is in all this a mutual acceptance of rights and duties, from which flows a mutual enrichment. It gives evidence to the Community at large that the marks of the Church Universal—"One" and "Catholic"—are alive and operating amongst us today as ever. In such activity there is observed also a fulfilment of St. Paul's exhortation— "bear one another's burdens and thus fulfil the Law of Christ". Migration work, touching as it does, the whole human society, individual and colletive, is, and should be, for Catholics, in its final analysis, an undertaking, inextricably joined with the extension of Christ's Kingdom on earth; it can, and should acquire in practice much of what is inferred in the words of Our Lord: "Thine they were and Thou gayest them to me: Ikept them in Thy Name; Those that Thou gayest to me I have kept, and none of them is lost."
THE AGED FOR HELP ROWING old with con-
thought Gfidence in the people who
that there are care about your welfare spiritually and materially in the time of need is of immeasurable comfort to most. St. Vincent's Hospital for the Aged and Incurable at Guildford, conducted by the Daughters of Charity, IS one such place, where this is the one and only object. The new Hospital, catering for fifty-one patients, now in its second year of operation has achieved much in the way of rehabilitating many of those seeking its care. Even the fact of being able to roll bandages gives a feeling of be-
ing useful. Although the Sisters never cease in their efforts to interest the patients in vani ous activities within their individual capacity, it is impossible to find the time to cope with all that could be done to give to the patients the feeling that they are wanted and the outside world has not forgotten them. AUXILIARY
To help meet the need for further activity and stimulate interest outside the four walls of their home, the Sisters are inviting Catholic ladies of the Archdiocese to form an Auxiliary, the function of which will be, among
other things, to arrange outings with families for the patients, car drives, afternoon teas on Sunday, picnics—or, better still, to help take the patients to the riverside on the property for an afternoon picnic. Contact with people outside the usual routine is a wonderful stimulant, particularly for those who eyesight through failing cannot read, watch TV, etc. Also, as always in Homes of this nature, there is a need for constant sewing and mending to be done. It is hoped that through the Auxiliary and the generosity of its members, a roster can be arranged to cope with For this important item. some time now a band of ladies has been assisting with the ironing—a mountainous job. To any lady who feels she can spare a short period each week or month to brighten the lot of those who have, in their day, helped their neighbour, the Sisters extend an invitation to attend the inaugural meeting of the proposed Auxiliary to be held at the Catholic Centre, 77 St. George's Terrace ( basement) on Thursday, March 4, at 2.30 p.m_

LENTEN RULES RULES OF FASTING AND ABSTINENCE DURING LENT
ABSTINENCE:
1. Everyone in good health who has reached the age of reason is obliged to abstain. To abstain is a serious obligation. 2. All Fridays and Ash Wednesday are days of abstinence. 3. Flesh meat and meat soup are forbidden. Lard and dripping may be used on days of abstinence provided they be used merely as a condiment or seasoning.
FAST:
1. Everyone in good health over 21 years of age and under 59, and 'not engaged in exhausting work, is obliged to fast. This is a serious obligation. 2. Every day of Lent, from Ash Wednesday to midnight on Holy Saturday, is a day of fast, except all Sundays and St. Patrick's Day (March 17). 3. On fast days, those bound to fast are allowed one full meal, that is a meal without any limitation as to quantity, and two smaller meals. At the two smaller meals they may take whatever is necessary to enable them to perform their ordinary duties. The full meal may be taken either in the evening or at midday. (A handy way of computing how much food may be taken at the smaller meals is to say that together they should not equal the full meal.) 4. Eating between meals, even fruit and confectionery, breaks the fast. However, a biscuit or some similar small portion of food may be taken with a drink. 5. Liquids do not break the fast (a liquid is anything that is consumed as a drink, e.g. tea, milk. fruit juices, beaten egg, etc.). 6. On days of fast without abstinence, meat is allowed at all meals.
NOTE: ( a) The solemnities of marriage (Nuptial Mass, the use of music, etc.) are forbidden until Easter Monday. (b) The Paschal Precept is required to be fulfilled between Ash Wednesday and Trinity Sunday (June 13).

The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother Of God, In The Mystery Of Christ And The Church CHAPTER VIII INTRODUCTION N the place of the Blessed Virgin in the Mystery of Christ. Wishing in His supreme goodness and wisdom to effect the redemption of the world, "when the fulness of time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, . . . that we might -receive the adoption of sons" (Gal. 4, 4). "He for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit from the Virgin Mary." This divine mystery of salvation is revealed to us and continued in the Church, which the Lord established as His body. Joined to Christ the Head and in the unity of fellowship with all His saints, the faithful must in the first place reverence the memory "of the glorious ever Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Lord Jesus Christ" (Gal. 4, 4-5).
52.
53.
O
Virgin Mary THEwho at the
message of the angel received the Word of God in her heart and in her body and gave Life to the world, is acknowledged and honoured as being truly the Mother of God and Mother of the Redeemer. Redeemed by reason of the merits of her Son and united to Him by a close and indissoluble tie, she is endowed with the high office and dignity of being the Mother of the Son of God, by which account she is also the beloved daughter of the Father of the temple of the Holy Spirit. Because of this gift of sublime grace she far surpasses all creatures, both in heaven and on earth. At the same time, however, because she belongs to the offspring of Adam she is one with all those who are to be saved. She is "the mother of the members of Christ . . . having co-operated by charity that faithful might be born in the Church, who are members of that Head." Wherefore she is hailed as a preenunent and singular member of the Church, and as its type and excellent exemplar in faith and charity. The Catholic Church taught by the Holy Spirit, honours her with filial affection and piety as a most beloved mother. 54.
WHEREFORE this holy synod, in expounding the doctrine on the Church, in which the divine Redeemer works salvation, intends to describe with diligence both the role of the Blessed Virgin in the mystery of the Incarnate Word and the Mystical Body, and the duties of redeemed man kind toward the Mother of God, who is mother of Christ and mother of men, particularly of the faithful. It does not, however, have it in mind to give a complete doctrine on Mary, nor does it wish to decide those questions which the work of theologians has not yet fully clarified. Those opin ions therefore may be lawfully retained which are propounded in Catholic concerning her, schools who occupies a place in the Church which is the highest after Christ and yet very close to us. I THE ROLE OF THE I BLESSED MOTHER IN THE ECONOMY OF SALVATION HE Sacred Scriptures of both the Old and the New Testament, as well as ancient Tradition show the role of the Mother of the Saviour

T
in the economy of salvation in an ever clearer light and draw attention to it. The books of the Old Testament describe the history of salvation, by which the coming of Christ into the world was slowly prepared. These earliest documents, as they are read in the Church and are understood in the light of a further and full revelation, bring the figure of the woman, Mother of the Redeemer, into a gradually clearer light. When it is looked at in this way, she is already prophetically foreshadowed in the promise of victory over the serpent which was given to our first parents after their fall into sin (cf. Gen. 3, 15). Likewise she is the Virgin who shall conceive and bear a son, whose name will be called Emmanuel (Cf. Is. 8, 14; Mich. 5, 2-3; Mt. 1, 22-23). She stands out among the poor and humble of the Lord, who confidently hope for and receive salvation from Him. With her the exhalted Daughter of Sion, and after a long expectation of the promise, the times are fulfilled and the new Economy established, when the Son of God took a human nature from her, that He might in the mysteries of His flesh free man from sin.
56.
Father of THEmercies willed
that the incarnation should be preceded by the acceptance of her who was predestined to be the mother of His Son, so that just as a woman contributed to death, so also a woman should contribute to life. That is true in outstanding fashion of the mother of Jesus. who gave to the World Him who is Life itself and who renews all things, and who was enriched by God with the gifts which befit such a role. It is no wonder therefore that the usage prevailed among the Fathers whereby they called the mother of God entirely holy and free from all stain of sin, as though fashioned by the Holy Spirit and formed as a new creature. Adorned from the first instant of her conception with the radiance of an entirely unique holiness, the Virgin of Nazareth is greeted, on God's command by an angel messenger as "full of grace" (Lk. 1, 28), and to the heavenly messenger she replies: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to thy word" iLk. 1, 38). Thus Mary, a daughter of Adam, consenting to the divine Word, became the mother of Jesus, the one and only Mediator. Embracing God's salvific will with a full heart and impeded by no sin, she devoted herself totally as a handmaid of the Lord to the person and work of her Son, under Him and with Him, by the grace of almighty God, serving the mystery of redemption. Rightly therefore the holy Fathers see her as used by God not merely in a passive way, but as freely co-operating in the work of human salvation through faith and obedience. For, as St. Irenaeus says, she "being obedient, because the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race." Hence not a few of the early Fathers gladly assert in their preaching: "The knot of Eve's disobedience was untied by Mary's obedience; what the virgin Eve bound through her unbelief, Mary loosened by her faith." Comparing Mary with Eve, they call her "the Mother of the living," and still more often they say: "death through Eve, life through Mary."
* THIS IS PART EIGHT of an unofficial translation of the text of the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Church, proclaimed by Pope Paul VI on November 21, 1964.
THIS
union of the Mother with the Son in the work of salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to His death. It is shown first of all when Mary, arising in haste to go to visit Elizabeth, is greeted by her as blessed because of her belief in the promise of salvation and the precursor leaped with joy in . the womb of his mother (cf. Lk. 1, 41-45). This union is manifest also at the birth of Our Lord, who did not diminish His mother's virginal integrity but sanctified it, when the Mother of God joyfully showed her firstborn Son to the shepherds and Magi. When she presented Him to the Lord in the temple, making the o ffering of the poor, she heard Simeon foretelling at the same time that her Son would be a sign of contradiction and that a sword would pierce the mother's soul, that out of many hearts thoughts might be revealed (cf. Lk. 2, 34-35). When the Child Jesus was lost and they had sought Him sorrowing, His parents found Him in the temple, taken up with His were that things Father's business; and they did not understand the word of their Son. His Mother indeed kept these things to be pondered over in her heart (cf. Lk. 2, 41-51). 57.
IN the public life of Jesus, Mary makes significant appearances. This is so even at the very beginning, when at the marriage feast of Cana, moved with pity, she brought about by her intercession the beginning of miracles of Jesus the Messiah(cf. Jn. 2, 1-11). In the course of her Son's preaching she received the words whereby, in extolling a kingdom beyond the calculations and bonds of flesh and blood, He declared blessed (cf. Mk. 3, 35; Lk. 11, 27-28) those who heard and kept the word of God, as she was faithfully doing ( cf. Lk. 2, 19, 51). After this manner, the Blessed Virgin advanced in her pilgrimage of faith, and faithfully perserved in her union with her Son unto the cross, where she stood, in keeping with the divine plan (cf. Jn. 19, 25), grieving exceedingly with her only begotten Son, uniting herself with a maternal heart with His sacrifice, and lovingly consenting to the immolation of this Victim which she herself had brought forth. Finally, she was .given by the same Christ Jesus dying on the cross as a mother to His disciple, with these words: "Woman, behold thy son" (Jn. 19, 26-27). 58.
RUT since it has I t• pleased God not to manifest solemnly the mystery of the salvation of the human race before He would pour forth the Spirit promised by Christ, we see the apostles before the day of Pentecost "persevering with one mind in prayer with the women and Mary the Mother of Jesus and with His brethren" (Acts 1, 14), and Mary by her prayers imploring the gift of the Spirit, who had already overshadowed her in the Annunciation. Finally, the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all guilt of original sin, on the completion of her earthly sojourn, was taken up body 59.
and soul into heavenly glory, and exhaulted by the Lord as Queen of the universe, that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and the conqueror of sin and death. III. ON THE BLESSED VIRGIN AND THE CHURCH. THERE is but 60. one Mediator as we know from the words of the apostle, "for there is one God and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a redemption for all" (1 Tim. 2, 5-6). The maternal duty of Mary toward men in no wise obscures or unique this diminishes mediation of Christ, but rather shows His power. For all the salvific influence of the Blessed Virgin on men originates, not from some inner necessity, but from the divine pleasure. It flows forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rests on His mediation, depends entirely on it and draws all its power from it. In no way does it impede, but rather does it foster the immediate union of the faithful with Christ. 61. DREDESTINED from eternity by that decree of divine providence which determined the incarnation of the Word to be the Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin was on this earth the virgin Mother of the Redeemer, and above all others and in a singular way the generous associate and humble handmaid of the Lord. She conceived, brought forth, and nourished Christ, she presented Him to the Father in the temple, and was united with Him by compassion as He died on the cross. In this singular way she co-operated by her obedience, faith, hope and burning charity in the work of the Saviour in giving back supernatural life to souls. Wherefore she is our mother in the order of grace. 62. maternity of Mary in the order of grace began with the consent which she gave in faith at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, and lasts until the eternal fulfilment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this salvific duty, but by her constant intercession continued to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. By her maternal charity, she cares for the brethren of her Son, who still journey on earth surrounded by dangers and difficulties, until they are led into the happiness of their true home. Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked by the Church under the titles of Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix, and Mediatrix. This, however, is to be so understood that it neither takes away from nor adds anything to the dignity and efficaciousness of Christ the one Mediator. For no creature could ever be counted as equal with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer. Just as the priesthood of Christ is shared in various ways both by the ministers and by the faithful, and as the one goodness of God is really communicated in different ways to His creatures so also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives
THIS
to a manifold co-operation which is but a sharing in this one source. The Church does not hesitate to profess this subordinate role of Mary. It knows it through unfailing experience of it and commends it to the hearts of the faithful, so that encouraged by this maternal help they may the more intimately adhere to the mediator and Redeemer. 63.
R Y reason of the
gift and role of divine maternity, by which she is united with her Son, the Redeemer, and with His singular graces and fuctions, the Blessed Virgin is also intimately united with the Church. As St. Ambrose. taught, the Mother of God is a type of the Church in the order of faith charity and perfect union with Christ. For in the mystery of the Church, which is itself rightly called mother and virgin, the Blessed Virgin stands out in eminent and singular fashion as exemplar bother of virgin and mother. By her belief and obedience, not knowing man but overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, as the new Eve she brought forth on earth the very Son of the Father, showing an undefiled faith, not in the word of the ancient serpent, but in that of God's messenger. The Son whom she brought forth is He whom God placed as the first-born among many brethren (cf. Rom. 3, 29), namely the faithful, in whose birth and education she co-operates with a maternal love. -11*HE Church indeed, contemplating her hidden sanctity, imitating her charity and faithfully fulfilling the Father's will, by receiving the word of God in faith becomes herself a mother. By her preaching she brings forth to a new and immortal life the sons who are born to her in baptism, conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of God. She herself is a virgin, who keeps the faith given to her by her Spouse whole and entire. Imitating the mother of her Lord, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, she keeps with virginal purity an entire faith, a firm hope and a sincere charity. 64.
65.
RUT while in the
51° most holy Virgin the Church has already reached that perfection whereby she exists without spot or wrinkle, the followers of Christ still strive to increase in holiness by conquering sin (cf. Eph. 5, 27). And so they turn their eyes to Mary who shines forth to the whole community of the elect as the model of virtues. Piously meditating on her and contemplating her in the light of the word made man, the Church with reverence enters more intimately into the great mystery of the Incarnation and becomes more and more like her Spouse. Since she has entered intimately into the history of salvation, Mary who unifies and re-echoes in a certain way the greatest teachings of the faith in herself, when she is being preached and venerated calls the faithful to her Son and His sacrifice and to love of the Father. Seeking after the glory of Christ, the Church becomes more like her exalted Type, and continually progresses in faith, hope and charity, seeking and doing the will of God in all things. Hence the Church, in her apostolic work also, justly looks to her, who, conceived of the Holy Spirit
brought forth Christ, who was born of the virgin that through the Church He may be born and may increase in the hearts of the faithful also. The Virgin in her own life lived an example of that maternal love, by which it behooves that all should be animated who co-operate in the apostolic mission of the Church for the regeneration of men. IV. THE CULT OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN IN THE CHURCH. 66. DLACED by the I grace of God, as God's Mother, next to her Son, and exhalted above all angels and men, Mary intervened in the mysteries of Christ and is justly honoured by a special cult in the Church. Clearly from the earliest times the Blessed Virgin is honoured under the title of Mother of God, under whose protection the faithful took refuge in all their dangers and necessities. Hence after the Synod of Ephesus the cult of the people of God towards Mary wonderfully increased in veneration and love, in invocation and imitation, according to her own prophetic words: "All generations shall call me blessed, because He that is mighty hath done great things to me" (Lk. 1, 48). This cult, as it always existed, although it is altogether singular, differs essentially from the cult of adoration which is offered to the Incarnate Word, as well to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and it is most f avourable to it. The various forms of piety toward the Mother of God, which the Church within the limits of sound and orthodox doctrine, according to the conditions of the time and place, and the nature and ingenuity of the faithful has approved, bring it about that while the Mother is honoured, the Son, through whom all things have their being (cf. Col. 1, 15-16) and in whom it has pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell (cf. Col. 1, 19), is rightly known, loved and glorified and that all His commands are observed. 67.
THIS most holy synod deliberately teaches this Catholic doctrine and at the same time admonishes all the sons of the Church that the cult, especially the liturgical cult, of the Blessed Virgin, be generously fostered, and the practices and exercises of piety, recommended by the magisterium of the Church toward her in the course of centuries be made of great moment, and those decrees, which have been given in the early days regarding the cult of images of Christ, the Blessed Virgin and the saints, be religiously observed. But it exhorts theologians and preachers of the divine word to abstain zealously both from all false exaggerations as well as from a too great narrowness of mind in considering the singular dignity of the Mother of God. Following the study of Sacred Scripture, the Holy Fathers, the doctors and liturgy of the Church, and under the guidance of the Church's magisterium, let them rightly illustrate the duties and privileges of the Blessed Virgin which always look to Christ, the source of all truth, sanctity and piety. Let them assiduously keep away from whatever, either by word or deed, could lead separated brethren or any other into error regarding the true doctrine • Continued on Page 8.

THE
Judge Third Session By Positive Results
RECORD
MUNICH, GERMANY: AUGUSTIN CARDINAL
BEA, PRESIDENT OF THE SECRETARIAT FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN UNITY, TOLD A GERMAN RADIO AUDIENCE THAT IT SHOULD NOT JUDGE THE THIRD SESSION OF THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL BY A FEW DISTURBING EVENTS OF THE LAST DAYS.
Rather, he said, the accomplishments of the third session should be measured dispassionately by its many positive results, especially the published decrees on ecumenism, on the Eastern Churches and on the nature of the Church. Earlier he told 3,000 persons in the German Museum here that the last-minute changes made by Pope Paul VI in the Council's ecumenism decree "do not offend the feelings of the nonCatholic brethren." The Cardinal was in Germany to speak to many groups during the interfaith week of prayer for Christian unity.
riages as contained in the, draft statement on matrimony. The latter statement, he said, "contains very positive constructive proposals," and he added that "there is a good S and well-founded hope that it will bring rich fruits soon." The Cardinal said Catholic relations with non-Christians were advanced by Pope Paul's trip to Bombay, India, last December. He said these people intuitively feel there is a plan for men that God has worked out, but they have a right to expect from Christians a witness to Christ that is demonstrated in Christian unity.
NOT CHANGED Cardinal Bea also said that the Council's doctrine of collegiality, as contained in the Church constitution, has not changed the dogma of papal infallibility as laid down by the First Vatican Council. The "often-complained-about events" in the final days of the third session must be seen in this light, he said. In his radio talk, the 83year-old Cardinal declared that he was "very content" with the results of the Council's third session. He added: "Certainly I know of the events of the last days of the session which surprised and disturbed some people. But I believe it would be a pity and even misleading to judge the Council less positively in view of these things. Fortunately, there is a calmer and more objective judgment now, and it is to be hoped that people will forget feelings created by partial impressions and will look at the broad lines of the total work."

CARDINAL BEA By the "events of the last days," the Cardinal was speaking of the Pope's changes in the text of the ecumenism schema and the decision of the Council presidency, backed up by the Pope, to postpone a vote on a declaration dealing with religious freedom. Cardinal Bea said ecumenical relations between Catholics and Orthodox have moved forward rapidly in .the past year. He noted particularly the presence of Greek Orthodox observers at the Council's third ses• sion, the meeting of Pope Paul with Greek Orthodox Patriarch Athanagoras in the Holy Land last January, the return of the relic of St. Andrew to Patras, Greece, and the decision made at the Pan-Orthodox Conference in Rhodes to permit individual Orthodox bodies to develop relations with Rome. The Orthodox observers at the Council, he said, made a "decisive contribution" to the approved decree on ecumenism. Listing other Council achievements which have ecumenical importance, Cardinal Bea called special attention to the doctrine of collegiality and to the discussions on mixed mar-

PLAN TO STUDY CATHOLIC PRESS
Stuttgart, Germany: Members of the council of the International Union of the Catholic Press agreed to launch a worldwide programme of research into the scientific and professional bases of the Catholic press—and of the Church in communications generally— in the modern world. First step in the IUCP research plan will be the collection of already existing information from various Catholic universities, press organisations and other groups in all countries where the International Union has affiliates. Ultimately, IUCP officials hops, the research programme will result in a wider and increasingly professional utilisation of modem means of communication by the Catholic press. The council meeting also approved continuation of an IUCP programme of collecting and disseminating information about the needs of the Catholic press in developing countries. This programme includes centralising and co-ordinating requests foi aid from the Catholic press of these countries.
CONFLICT WILL STILL REMAIN
FREIBURG, Germany: Expected changes in Catholic canon law concerning mixed marriages cannot alter the fact that such marriages will remain "for Christians who are truly religious an area of painful and continual conflict between fidelity to one's own religious community and personal love," according to A rchbishop Hermann Schaeufele of Freiburg. The prelate, a member of the Ecumenical Council's Commission on Bishops and Diocesan Government, declared that "authoritative spokesmen of all Christian agree denominations in strongly advising against mixed marriages." Archbishop Schaeu fele went on: "There is no doubt that the Church knows she is bound in many ways to the Christians who are separated from her. But to Christians who are imbued in their faith and really want to live it cannot over. look the extent to which the variance in their belief hinders their reciprocal love." While ecumenical understanding is being sought everywhere today, he said, mixed marriages "in no way represent an ideal area for fraternal meeting of the faiths."

Conscience Of Mankind
VATICAN CITY: Radio and television will truly "contribute to forming the conscience of mankind" when their programming is carried out by well trained experts "capable of infusing programmes with the riches of Christian thought and life," Pope Paul VI told the congress of the International Association for Radio and Television meeting in Rome. He told them that he was interested in modern broadcasting techniques. "We believe radio as well as television should broadcast quality religious programmes in keeping with spiritual needs of the listeners and viewers. In addition a great service would be rendered to the public if these two great instruments of mass media were inspired by well trained experts capable of infusing programmes with the riches of Christian thought and life, on which they themselves have been nurtured, and of expressing opinions inspired by the Gospel on events. "Thus indeed will radio and television truly contribute to forming the conscience of mankind."
WANTS INCREASE IN SUBSIDIES
THE Catholic Worker's Movement of die Vienna archdiocese has asked the Austrian government to consider paying larger subsidies to mothers to avoid the necessity of their having to find work. "A mother," declared the group, "must be able to dacide freely and without economic pressure whether she will seek employment outside the home or not." The group said tax reductions for families would not be sufficient to make up for the "still completely inadequate family subsidies."

two hundred years before the coming of Christ. Within, Buddhist monks and devotees have painted with gentle precision the beauty of an age past.
The third section of temples was completed in the later Middle Ages of European history by Jain worshippers.
Colour has faded and yet under flashlight the figures caress life again and a story of human life unfolds. Much of the beauty has lost itself in time; the feeling and spirit still remain. The next day we journeyed from Aurangabad city to UK, caves at Ellora. The road to Ellora rings with history. The tyrant autocrat Aurangzeb, a Mogul Emperor of the sixteenth century, after destroying much of the work done at Ellora by Jain and Brahmin monks, erected an impregnable fortress at Daulatabad. It is a black and grim military edifice of amazing proportions; from the centre rises a natural mound topped by a 20-foot cannon and honeycombed with passages of retreat and escape. The mighty emperor himself is buried in a simple grave at nearby Luttabad; the simplicity of his gravestone in black granite stands as a grim tribute to the cruel singlemindedness of his many inhuman exploits. Ellora was commenced after the monks moved from Ajunta for an unknown reason in the sixth century A.D. From then until the sixteenth century the monks and disciples hewed and carved the mountains of nature into shapes of human significance in the worship of their gods. The earliest temples are the works of Hahayana Buddhism, stricter in de-
Close to a hundred caves can be found in the Ellora area; some are mere hermits' holes and other are gigantic dining halls or places of worship. Unfortunately, a great number of the carvings have been destroyed by the Mahommedan invaders Nonetheless, the dynamic figures of Shiva and Krishna — conquering enemies of mankind and surrounded by accompanying deities—leap from the niches into an action and sweep of gesture and movement. In a sense, Ellora stands as an empty skeleton of an age of magnificence and grandeur long past. The shell remains. The wall frescoes are burnt away, the paths have been swept clean for tourists' shoes to walk upon. The vast halls and temples remain empty. An age past holds its secrets. The crosslegged figure of Buddha, struck with filtered light, posseses a peace and tranquillity unattainable. Such a long era of history is a germ within the heart of every Indian. It is a mysterious and inseparable part of his continual daily existence. I come from a country not yet two hundred years old—such a wealth of culture and history is hard to grasp.

\MASS FOR TEACHERS
These six ladies are original members of the Catholic Teachers' Guild. They are front row ( left to right) Miss E. Stanbury, SenatorDorothy Tangney, Miss C. Stanbury. Back row: Misses Nora Carr, Hester Hoed and Margaret Caldow. Last Sunday, Catholic teachers employed in State schools held what it is hoped will be an annual Dedication Mass to inaugurate their year's work. In January, the Anglican Teachers' Fellowship decided to hold an inter. denominational Divine Service at St. George's Anglican Cathedral, and a Mass for Catholic teachers, to be offered on the same day at S t. Mary's Cathedral, was arranged by the Ca tholio Teachers' Guild. The State Education Department agreed to bring both functions to the notice of teachers through the Education Circular and the W.A. Teachers' Journal. COMMUNION BREAKFAST Over eighty teachers attended a Communion Break fast in the Teachers' Union rooms, after the Mass. Six
foundation members of the Catholic Teachers' Guild were present, including Senator Dorothy Tangney. After the breakfast, Mr. Ron Evans, headmaster of Wundowie School., opened a discussion on what role the Guild should take in the future, and what activities it should assume. He suggested that the Mass of Dedication should be brought to the notice of all Catholic teachers, and that a banner should be designed for the Guild. Mr. Urban Urquhart, headmaster of Hollywood school, welcomed the members of the Guild. He said every effort should be made to keep the Guild vital and active. He suggested that a steering committee be appointed to present a programme of organisation to the annual general meeting. .The corn-

Basketball Upset IN the grand finals of the Y.C.W. Basketball Competition which were played at Perry Lakes Stadium on Tuesday. February 16, West Perth caused the main upset of the night by defeating Carlisle in the B grade. Carlisle looked the more confident team in the first half. Their positive attack and good ball handling gave them a big lead at half-time. The second half saw a changed West Perth side handling the ball much better to enable them to reduce Carlisle's lead to two points with only a couple of minutes to 20. West Perth finished on well to win the match. The final score was West Perth 31 d Carlisle 25 On the other court, Carlisle redeemed themselves by coming from behind in the closing seconds to beat Claremont in a thrilling C grade grand final. Carlisle'3 teami,vork was patchy in the first half enabling Claremont to hold the lead. In the second half, Claremont faded a little and Carlisle took the opportunity to draw level. With less than a minute to go Carlisle scored a penalty point to win the game. The final score was Carlisle 19 d Claremont 18. In the last two weeks of the competition the standard of play in the A grade improved greatly. After an evenly fought first half, Victoria Park came home with a strong finish to gain victory in the closing stages. Had Bedford Park had some reserves, they could have finished closer. The final score was East Victoria Park 34 d Bedford Park 26. Kensington's taller players proved too much for Applecross and were not troubled to win in the E grade. Although close in the first

Let the faithful remember moreover that consists true devotion neither in sterile or transitory affection, nor in a certain vain credulity, but proceeds from true faith, by which we are led to know the excellence of the Mother of God, and we are moved to a filial love toward our mother and to the imitation of her virtues. V MARY THE SIGN OF CREATED HOPE AND SOLACE TO THE WANDERING PEOPLE OF GOD. 68. IN the interim the Mother of Jesus in the glory which she possesses body and soul in heaven, is the image and beginning of the Church as it is to be perfected in the world to come. Likewise she shines forth on earth, until the day of the Lord shall come (cf. 11 Pet. 3, 10), a sign of sure hope and solace to the wandering people of God. 69. IT gives great joy I and comfort to this holy and general synod that even among the separated brethren there are some who give due honour to the Mother of our Lord especially Saviour, and among the Orientals, who with devout mind and fervent impulse give honour to the Mother of God, ever virgin. The entire body of the faithful pours forth instant supplications to the Mother of God and Mother of men that she, who aided the beginnings of the Church by her prayers, may now, exalted as she is above all the angels and saints, intercede before her Son in the fellowship of all the saints, until all families of people, whether they are honoured with the title of Christian or whether they still do not know the Saviour, may be happily gathered together in peace and harmony into one people of God, for the glory of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity.

Y.C.W. Notes
Y.C.W. NOTES EXECUTIVE (Girls) Y.C.W. members were delighted recently by the of Pauline appointment Knight, the girls' full-time secretary, as a member of the Youth Council of Western Australia. Pauline was one of the two people chosen by the Education Minister for from five names submitted by the Associated Youth Committee on which she has been a member for several years. The function of the Youth Council will be to advise the Minister on the implementation of the Report on Services which, Youth among other things, recommended that money would be allotted for expanding youth work in the state. Another member of the Youth Council is Monsignor E. Sullivan who for nine years was Diocesan Chaplain of the Y.C.W. in Perth and who has been active on the National Fitness Council of W.A. for some years. CATHOLIC BALL The date of the Catholic Ball is now May 18. Girls interested in making their debut at this ball are asked t o contact Pauline Knight or hand their names in at the Y.C.W. Office. SOCIAL CALENDAR March 5: House Party, 16 Mardella St., Mt. Lawley. March 6: Barbecue 14 Tenth Avenue, Maylands. Barbecue 73 Bulong Avenue, Redcliffe. March 7: Regional Dance, South Perth Civic Centre. March 14: Applecross/Palmyra Y.C.W. Dance at Melville Community Hall.
Liturgy Of People In these days we Catholics are witnessing many changes in the Mass which we know has remained unchanged for so long, and which we rather expected to remain as it was — in our lifetime anyway. But we are lucky enough to live in this exciting time of change, and though exciting times chn be a little baffling, they have much to offer anyone who studies and thinks on them a little. Now that we have the chance to play a more active part in the liturgy at Mass, it is likely we will be more aware of the bearing of the liturgy on our daily lives as Christians, and will want to widen our experience and deepen our understanding of it. The Seminar for Liturgical Studies has been so successful that this year it plans to continue its activities on a wider basis.

RECORD
Lest anyone think its meetings are intended for only a small group of specially informed folk, the name has been changed to Liturgy for the People. It aims to hold talks, discussions and day retreats to study the forms of public worship and their spiritual significance, the sacramental life and its effect on the individual and community, the daily liturgy of home and family and its interdependence on the public liturgy. Last year's projects in eluded an Advent day of discussion for families, and several talks on the Psalms, prayer and other topics. The first three talks this year will be on the sacramental life, and will be held bi-monthly on the second Monday of March, May, etc., at St. Thomas More College. Father E. J. Stormon, S.J., will give the first talk on March 8 under the title "The Church, the visible sign of God's saving presence among His people."

CHURCHMEN CHANGE PLACES
TWO pastors, one Catholic and the other Episcopalian, exchanged pulpits in an unusual display of ecumenisnin Flagstaff, Arizona. Father James Linden meyer, pastor of the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Very Rev. Robert Lord, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, took part in the exchange. Father Lindenmeyer spoke at the Episcopal church's Sunday Communion service, while Father Lord spoke at an evening Mass in the Catholic church the same day. O verflow congregations were present at both churches. Neither clergyman took part in the liturgy of the other's denomination. Each. however, noted that he was speaking in connection with the most sacred ritual of the other's faith.

ONE OF THE BUILDINGS OVERLOOKING IT IS THE
HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, IVEAGH HOUSE, A HANDSOME GIFT TO THE NATION FROM THE GUINNESS FAMILY AFTER THE SETTING UP OF
THE STATE.
MISSION SEMINARIES "WE WORK among the poorest of the poor, the aborigines. Most of our people have less than two meals a day the whole year round. In the months when food is scarce, they often fill their s tomachs with leaves, roots, the bulbs of wild plants and fruit. Most are unable to send their children to school because they lack food and clothing. The past week three more babies arrived on our doorstep, which brings the total number of orphans now in our care to 26. Without any government aid, we must provide food, clothing and medicine for them." Even as Our Lord fed the weary multitudes before he preached to them, so missionaries working among the "poorest of the poor" must heed the cry of starvation before they deliver the message of salvation. Your donation to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith enables the Holy Father to send funds where they are most needed NOW. In our two thousands orphanages the Society for the Propagation of the Faith feeds, cares for and educates as many of the world's poor as you make possible.
A MISSIONARY WRITES FROM VIETNAM The best way Australian Catholics can thank God for His gift of Faith is to bring new young hearts to Him. Today there are countries in which priests are not allowed: Tibet, Afghanistan, Yemen and Katar; millions of souls are unable to even learn about Our Lord. And there are other countries that have priests, but not enough. In Thailand, whole villages must be denied reception into the Church because no priests are available. African seminaries turn away fifty to a hundred candidates a year because there are no funds to train them. Yet, of every hundred mission converts today, eighty are African! Missionary bishops begged the Holy Father at the last session of the Council for means to educate native seminarians. He in turn appeals to YOU. Only £ 100 will maintain a seminarian for one year, £ 600 will pay for hiS entire training. Send your offering, in any amount, to the Society of St. Peter the Apostle for Native Clergy.
When strolling there the other day, I saw a few people around the entrance, and a smiling man come out and get into his car. It moved off without the slightest fuss—not even the photographers were busy, because they had already taken their pictures. The man in the car was Captain Terence O'Neill, the Northern Premier, who with Premier Lemass had made Irish history by a visit to Belfast by Mr. Lemass and this return visit by Captain O'Neill. It had taken decades to bring about this exchange of visits, both meetings were in progress before they were announced publicly, and both passed off with an extraordinary calm. True, d vance announcements were withheld until the men, on each occasion, were in session, but there was still plenty of time for people to get there before the meetings ended. The Republic's Constitu tion lays claim to the whole island of Ireland, while being in force de facto for the 26 counties of the State. Northern Ireland's Government regards its own constitutional position as being part of the United Kingdom. TENSION EASED But both Premiers, while maintaining their constitutional outlooks, agreed there were many things on which they could co-operate, and there is now a great easing in the tensions between the two parts of Ireland. Premier Lemass probably visualises a federal solution, in which Northern Ireland would retain its parliament with the central parliament in Dublin. Such constitutional issues, however, remain delicate ones in the

LAST TRAIN
MONG life's
From LOCHLINN MacGLYNN in Dublin circumstances in which the t wo men met, and if either Premier is unduly pushed on these issues, the climate of goodwill now beginning can beget more rain. With yet another by-election pending—in the Longford - Westmeath constituency, following the death of Government Deputy Michael J. Kennedy, of Castlepollard —the initiatives between the two Premiers may be tested to some extent in the public mind in the next few months. The Mid-Cork byelection is now fixed for March 10. The late Mr. Kennedy was a member of the Dail for over 38 years, and was at
one time Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Social Welfare. One of his sisters is Rev. Mother Mary of the Nativitiy, High Park Convent, Drumcondra, Dublin. In the War of Independence, he served prison sentences and was a hungerstriker. One of those most deeply affected by his old friend's death was the doyen of the L abour Party, James Everett, so long in the Dail that he is now Father of the House. James, from Wicklow Town, used to "pair" with Mr. Kennedy in Parliament; neither has been in good health, and their illness cancelled out their votes in divisions.
CHANGES AT THE ABBEY THEATRE Abbey Theatre, associated with famous DUBLIN'S names like W. B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, Synge, Sean O'Casey is often criticised here for no longer presenting the genius of the nation, except when reviving plays by great writers, first presented when the writers, now dead, were young. Many of the dynamic younger writers have had their work rejected by the Abbey, and there has been a succession of plays, with brief runs, that are not only harmless but lacking stature. Meantime, a fine cast of dedicated players is available. Has the theatre played too "safe" at the box-office, be• cause its subsidy was not very large? Has it failed to perceive the difference between significant dramatists and entertainers? Even in the Irish language, which it fosters, has it been bypassed by creative minds in Irish? A striking play in Irish, acclaimed by the dramatic critic of the "Sunday Times" (London) although he didn't know the language, did not

s tretch of railway close down, and the "last train" make its sentimental journey. Well the last train has run between Derry and Portadown, and railway stations such as many an emigrant will remember — Strabane in County Tyrone, for instance—are now on their way out. But what joy for the old railwaymen if a Tyrone County Council appeal to the High Court against the closing succeeds! Perhaps Robert Stevenson—you remember the stories of his first steam engine and how a man with a red flag walked in front of it—was there in spirit. For it was Robert Stevenson of the steam engine who planned the last 34 miles of this line to Derry. Well, nowadays, to go to Derry from Dublin, you get into a comfortable road coach, but if its a homegoing sentimental journey, it's not quite the same thing at the end as stepping on to the Heaven of the old railway platform.

GLOUCESTER PARK
VERCOMING A WIDE BARRIER DRAW, NIGHT FOLLY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR A CONVINCING WIN OVER SIX FURLONGS AT ASCOT LAST SATURDAY.
This filly is going to take a power of beating in the Champion Breeders Stakes to be run at Ascot next Monday. Her stablemate, Key's Folly, won this race last year. Trainer Bill Kerby, who trains only a small team, is indeed fortunate in haying two such outstanding fillies as Key's Folly and Night Folly in his stables at the same time. Key's Folly won this season's W.A. Guineas and Derby, while, based on her last two wins, Night Folly could earn further classic honours- for the stable later on in the year. This filly continues to race greenly and may not yet be at her top. the bit until three furlongs from home. At this stage Mr. List challenged him when he showed no fight and was quickly out of the race.

Brilliant Filly THE Pier Handicap of six furlongs attracted most of the best youngsters racing a t present. In winning the race comfortably by three lengths from a wide barrier position, Night Folly created a big impression. The only way her win can be criticised is that once she hit the front she didn't know what to do and ran about a bit. In a close finish this could lose- a race. However, after the way she won, the owners O'Mearas (there are five of them) perhaps don't consider she will strike such a race just• yet. Muette and Port Gerald. ton filled the places. Having only his second start, it was a fair run on the part of the third horse. Panchalex, who had won at his last two starts, was sent out favourite, but he ran a shocking race. On his showing he would need to improve a ton to have a chance in next Monday's race for which his owners recently paid a big fee for late entry. Cosy Comet, a rather small but speedy colt, appeared to find his 9st. too There was some much. merit in the run of 100-1 chance Empire Pin, who finished close up, in front of a number of smart twoyear-olds. ,04 , 11,0,04 41,41141,""0.0041

How Good? WHEN Ngatea got up in the last stride to beat Roman Count in the seven-furlong Advance Handicap he shocked punters but brought up a second win for owner Bill O'Brien and trainer Ted Sullivan within a fortnight Having only his second start after a long spell, the manner in which he fought on and the way he looks stronly suggests that he will win again.
There will be no 33-1, at which price he started, bet about him the next time Ted steps him out. Backed from 4's to 6-4, Celestial Rose after every chance could only run third and was far from impressive.
RACING right up to his recent good form, De Gaullio won his second race within a week when he landed the seven-furlong Welter. Not only did he win by V, lengths, but he stood up 181b. to the second horse Acapulco. Third place went to Prince Elliott, who finished on stoutly. Short-priced favourite King Arana, a winner at his last two starts, was again slowly away, but in this race he never looked to have a chance and finished well back. If he has lost form, then he has done so very quickly.

FOR the second week on end Johnny Wilson rode a double. Since returning to his home State recently, he has been most consistent and only has to retain his present form to continue to receive good rides. Our leading rider, Peter Moran, has only ridden one winner at the last three Ascot meetings. However, with his ability and light weight, it won't be long before more wins come his way.
The attendance at last Wednesday's Twilight meeting at Ascot, in aid of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust was good. As expected the crowd grew after the running of the first race at 4 p.m. On top of the successful charity meeting held at Belmont some months ago there seems little doubt that limited mid-week racing in Perth can be assured of strong support from all sections of racing folk.

THE
Last Concert Most Unusual
BOOK REVIEW
The last of the 20th century music series in the Festival was the most unusual concert ever given in Perth with no performers, the music being concrete or electronic music. The first part was devoted to absolute electronic music, starting with five pieces by Eimert and Studie II by Stockhausen. Although greatly contrasting, both composers were exploring the medium, following the serialist theories of Webern in instrumental music.
"UNFINISHED BUSINESS" (Maisie Ward— Sheen & Ward) To most of us, I think, the names Sheed and Ward bring thoughts of the Catholic Evidence Guild, of the wellknown Catholic publishing firm and of two amiable, friendly people whose lectures have delighted us of recent years here in Australia.

RECORD
Maisie Ward divides her autobiography into three quarter-century parts. Having lived a full, interestpacked life she is in this latter part of it, concerned with leaving her "unfinished business" in such good state that others may carry on successfully from where she leaves off. But who is there who can carry to completion the activities which belong to the business of living? To have done so much so successfully, as she has done is in itself a magnificent achievement. And the story of it all will make this book a source of absorbing interest and true delight to anyone who reads it—E.S.

Listening to him, one was inclined less to marvel at the technical difficulties and to appreciate the construction and beauty of this great work. Stephen Dornan had opened the concert with the French Suite No. 6, a performance not altogether satisfactory with some rather perfunctory playing at times. However, the more difficult Three-part Inventions and the Fantasia and Fugue in A minor were admirable. The two players combined to conclude the concert with the Sonata No. 1 in B minor, a very rewarding experience. Magnificent Playing The last concert ended with the greatest keyboard work of the series and magnificent playing by Alice Carrard. Sylvia Biddle, soprano, began the concert with 'Et exultavit' from the Magnificat in D and then, later, gave us five songs from Anna Magdalena's Second Notebook. Accompanied by Stephanie James, these were all pleasantly charming and immediately enjoyable, providing an admirable contrast to the keyboard works. The first of these was the Toccata and Fugue in D major. The Toccata was very dramatic and rendered even more so by Alice Carrard, who played the slower movements almost as though they were a Beethoven sonata; the fugue raced along at breakneck speed, always under perfect control and balance.

This was an astounding feat of physical and mental endurance, with no diminishing of attack, style or musical intelligence throughout. The 29th variation, after some 45 minutes, was the most powerful and fresh of the series. The work and the performance were a fitting climax to the greatest musical series in our history. —H.T.G.

DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS I suppose you are all looking forward to the holiday on Monday? I know I am. If this hot weather keeps up I guess most of you will be heading for the beach. Those of you who are lucky enough to be going away for the long weekend mustn't forget to write to me and tell me al l about the trip away. I know of quite a few who will be spending the weekend at Rottnest and I will be looking forward to hearing all about it. Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. This is the first day in Lent. In the Old Law ashes were a symbol of grief, mourning and repentance. In the Early Church the use of ashes had a like significance and with sackcloth formed part of the public penance. The custom of blessing the ashes was originally intended for public penitents, but it is now intended for all Christians, as Lent should be a time of penance for all. The ashes used on this day are obtained by burning the palms left over from last Palm Sunday. As you know this is an important day in the Church and you should all make a special effort to go to Mass and Communion on that day God bless you all. BROTHER JUNIPER.

VALID ELECTION "Perplexed," Woollahra: Q.: IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE PAPACY, WHAT CONSTITUTED A VALID ELECTION OF A POPE. R.: In my abbreviated half-hour's session I cannot deal with historical questions at anything like the length possible in previous sessions of a full hour. As regards your present query, St. Irenaeus tells us that Lintus, the first Pope after St. Peter, probably the Linus mentioned in 2 Tim. 4:21, was appointed by the Apostles Peter and Paul themselves. From then till the conversion of the Emperor Constantine in 313 A.D., Popes were elected by a majority choice of the clergy of Rome.
By THE REV. DR. RUMBLE, M.S.C.
DUTY TO PROVE ALL THINGS "Confused," Tasmania: Q.: It is most difficult for a layman to grasp ttze force of your criticism of Father Hans Kung's statement: "We do not in the Church, any more than elsewhere, have 'blind obedience,' but that obedience which proves all things" (1 Thess. 5 : 21). R.: I criticised his misuse of a text which has nothing to do with "proving things" in the normal modern sense of that expression, nor with the practising of the virtue of obedience. The average person today, when he speakes of "proving" things is thinking of historical or scientific evidence, or of philosophical argument; and to link that idea with the practising of Obedience suggests that we Should submit to those with lawful authority, not because they have authority, but only in so far as we personally approve of what they tell us to do. That is really the substitution of self-will for the spirit of obedience to the will of lawful superiors or officials. But St. Paul was not even dealing .with that subject. The context shows that ne was dealing with special gifts of the Holy Spirit claimed by some members of the early Church, such as that of "prophecy," which he defined as inspired utterances during public worship "for edification, exhortation and encouragement" (1 Cor. 14:3). He was merely urging his readers to be on their guard against self-deception in such matters. Monsignor Knox gives the true sense of St. Paul's words with his translation: "Do not stifle the utterances of the Spirit; do not hold prophecy in low esteem; and yet you must scrutinise it all carefully, retaining, only what is good and rejecting all that has a look of evil about it." That has nothing to do with "proving" things to our own satisfaction before we will yield to the demands of obedience upon us. "BLIND OBEDIENCE" OF CATHOLICS Q.: Is there such a thing as "blind" obedience in the Church, or anywhere else? R.: In one sense yes, in another sense no. One can "blindly," but not unintellibently, obey the commands of lawful authorities. In other words, one can have a good reason for obeying even though not told the reason for the command given. Tennyson says of "The Charge of the Light Brigade" that into the valley of death rode the six hundred . . . theirs not to reason why; theirs but to do and die." Although they "blindly" Obeyed orders, their heroic devotedness to military discipline was not itself "blind" but due td an intelligent realisation in an army that Orders are orders and that Chaos would result if the rule of each individual soldier was to be what he

personally decided to do! Where Religion is concerned, a basic principle must be that of obedience. We went from God by disobedience. If religion is to get us back to God, it must require retracing our steps by obedience. From that point of view the Catholic Church has been described as "a religion of authority"; and St. Paul admonishes us: "Obey your prelates and be subjected to them, for they watch as being to render an account of your souls." Heb. 13 : 17. "SUPREMACY OF CONSCIENCE" Q.: Father Kung also stated: "Ecclesiastical obedience never does anything contrary to conscience." R.: That is true; but it should be added that conscience itself dictates obedience to lawful ecclesiastical authorities acting within their own proper sphere of authority and jurisdiction. God's authority is, of course, always supreme. Not even ecclesistico,1 authorities can rightly command us to do anything clearly opposed to God's laws. If they did such a thing we would have to refuse obedience on the prin-
dole that "one must obey God rather than man." But we have to beware here of self-deception. In doubt, the presumption stands for the ecclesiastical authorities, who must not be judged to be ordering anything sinfully opposed to God's will unless that is quite evident. Certainly in purely religious matters there can be no room for hesitancy as regards the laws of the catholic Church, such as as those concerning our obligation of attending Mass, or of receiving the Sacraments; or in her official declarations of the moral laws we must observe; or in matters of purely ecclesiastical discipline. In these things we cannot pit our private judgment against the over-riding authority with which Christ endowed His Church. In things pertaining to the purely temporal order and which in no way trespass upon the spehere of religion the Catholic Church does not claim authority; and whether in their domestic or civic affairs Catholics like any other citizens must decide such matters for themselves. Difficulties can arise at
times in what is known as the "twilight zone" where religious and temporal interests overlap. If doubts about those arise, we must do our best to solve them, with the help of advice of necessary. If we succeed in solving them in the sense that we arrive at a definite conscientious conviction in the matters involved, we should follow our conscious; but if we do not succeed in attaining to such certainty and are still not sure of the position, the benefit of the doubt should be given to the ecclesiastical authorities and we would be making no mistake in practice by obeying their directions, if indeed they have made it clear that they intend their declarations as injunctions and not merely as r ecommendations.
Disappearance Of The Gospel R.E., Visiting Missionary: Q.: Does not the Bible clearly state that the Gospel will be taken away, but that it will be restored in the last days? R.: No. Our Lord said: "My words shall not pass away"; again: "I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it"; and yet again, speaking of that Church founded upon the Apostles and commanded to preach the gospel to all nations: "I will be with you all days, even t o the end of the world." That does not suggest that the gospel will be taken away and given back again only in the last days! It will be in the world "all days," even till the Final Judgment brings human history in this world to an end. "RESTORED BY MORMONS!" Q.: The Bible clearly mentions the great apostasy also. R.: It clearly declares that individuals at any time may lapse from the Faith; that from time to time there may be mass-defections from the Church; and that immediately preceding the Last Judgment a great falling away can be expected. But there is no suggestion that the gospel itself will be taken away and cease at any time to be existent, intact and operative in this world. Certainly your Mormon idea that the true Church of Christ disappeared from history for over a thousand years and was restored in 1830 by Joseph Smith in America is quite opposed to the clear teaehing of the New Testament. "CATHOLIC APOSTASY!" 9.: Paul, in I Tim. 1: 24 says that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith. R.: That's "some"; which does not mean "all."
Q.: He gives as the signs of apostay "forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats"; every adding: "For creature is good and nothing is to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving." That indicates the apostate RoChurch man Catholic which "forbids to marry" and commands " to abstain from meats." Mind you, those are not my woras, but the very word of God, and they are very clear. R.: The wrong interpretations you read into them are not the word of God. The Catholic Church does not declare marriage evil. For her, marriage is one of the seven sacraments, and weddings are continually taking place in Catholic churches. Nor does the Catholic Church command her people "to abstain from meats." Vegetarianism is not part of her teaching; and every butcher has Catholics among his regular customers! On the other hand, if "every creature is good" and "nothing is to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving," why are Mormons commanded by Joseph Smith to refuse so much as a cup of tea or a cup of coffee as if tea and coffee were evil things. Abstinence from these is declared by Mormons to be part of the "divine law"; the test of "personal worthi-
ness" of members of the Mormon Church; and that inquiry must be made concerning observance of this so-called "divine law" before approval can be granted for "ordinations" or advancement to "church positions"! In this, the Mormons create a "divine law" where there is none, as, the very text you have quoted declares.

I n 768, a Roman Synod restricted election to the clergy of Rome only. The 3rd Lateran Council in 1179 restricted elections to the Cardinals only, the election to be by a two-thirds majority; a custom which has continued to this day, rights of temporal rulers, whether of nomination, or veto as regards candidates for election being no longer existent. VIOLENT EJECTION OF ANTI-POPE Q.: Was Pope Constantine Validly elected in 767, and was the succeeding Pope installed with violence by the clerical party validly elevated to the Papacy? R.: There was only one validly-elected Pope named Constantine, who reigned 708-715 A.D. Some 50 years later, the unprincipled Duke of Nepi with his army of soldiers on the death of Pope Paul I, proclaimed his brother Constantine as next Pope. That Constantine, pro-
Pope Stephen IV, the lawful successor of Pope PaulI was then unanimously and validly elected by Rome's clergy and laity. We cannot transfer to the election of Pope Stephen the violence which the Duke of Nepi and his brother Constantine, over a thousand years ago, brought upon themselves by their unlawful efforts to seize the Papacy for the latter. "CAN POPES BE DEPOSED?" Q.: May a Pope be deposed; and if so, by whom? R.: No lawfully elected Pope can be deposed. A lawful Pope can cease to be Pope only by his own resignation, as in the cases of Pope Celestine V in 1294 and Gregory XII in 1415; or by death; or by losing the faith and thereby leaving the Church. There is no known case of this last condition being fulfilled, and most theologians say it would not be possible owing to Our Lord's prayer for St. Peter, which would apply to his successors for the good of the Church: "I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not; and do thou . . . confirm thy brethren" (Lk. 22: 32).

For some 400 years after the conversion of the Emperor Constantine, the clergy and laity of Rome could alone validly elect a Pope, but various Christian Emperors had the right to nominate the candidate and confirm the election. All agreed, however, that the Papal power was attached to the office of the Bishopric of Rome and was conferred upon the Pope by Christ Himself as Head of the Church, not by those who either nominated or elected the Pope.
claimed in 767, was not validly elected and has never been listed in the official catalogue of true Popes. A under army, Lombard Prince Christian, marched on Rome and defeated the Duke of Nepi, who was slain, the usurper of the Papacy, Constantine, being imprisoned.
