CHANGES IN CIVIL RIGHTS GATHERING I PRAY FOR HOLY WEEK PEACE LITURGY
VATICAN CITY: THE Holy Father urged a noon crowd in St. Peter's Square to pray to Our Lady for peace in an obvious reference to fighting in Vietnam and racial strife in the United States.
POPE PAUL VI HAS APPROVED NEW CHANGES IN THE LITURGY FOR HOLY WEEK, INCLUDING THE INTRODUCTION OF CONCELEBRATION OF THE MASS ON HOLY THURSDAY AND REVISIONS IN THE PRAYERS FOR OTHER CHRISTIANS, JEWS AND OTHER NON-CHRISTIANS IN THE SOLEMN PRAYERS OF GOOD FRIDAY.
He particularly urged Catholics to pray to the Blessed Virgin for "countries where war and guerrilla warfare are still tearThe Good Friday changes were made to remove "every ing human lives to pieces stone which might constitute, however remotely, a and where discord because stumbling block or a cause of discomfort." of race and colour creates hatred, victims and disThe new prayers eliminate such references as "heretics orders." and schismatics" and "infidels" and "pagans."

The change in the prayer for the Jewish people is the An editorial entitled fourth provided for by the Holy See in less than two "Racist Infamy," signed by decades.

APPLIED TO GOD WAS "THEOS."
This word, it seems, was derived from the root "theisthai"—to see, because they regarded God as the all-seeing One. The eye which took in the whole universe at a glance was a knowledge beyond that of mortals. Still in the field of mythology, Nomus, one of the heathen gods, was said to have complained of Vulcan, that he had not set a covering in every man's breast, but rather that he had placed a glazed window on the darkest houses of clay to see what is done in them when no one else can. Linnaeus, the famous naturalist, was so much impressed by the fact of God seeing and knowing all, that he wrote over the door of his laboratory the Latin words: Innocui vivite; Numen adest— "Live innocently; God is here." Thidias, the great Greek sculptor, when he had completed the reclining statue of Theseus, was told that the statue was to occupy an elevated position in the temple. Observing that the back of the masterpiece was as highly polished as was the front, he was asked why such a waste of time and energy when no one would

TRANSLATION OF MASS .0 I hope that God will
continue to give joy to my youth whenI am ninety, but I cannot bring myself to describe Him as having gladdened me from childhood days. Gladness is indeed the right frame of mind in which to go to the altar of God, but this usage of the verb "to gladden" seems to me unfortunate. The only reasonably modern authors to use the verb are Steele, the 18th-century essayist, Mrs. Radcliffe, the early 19th-century author of thriller-romances such as "The Mysteries of Udolpho," and Ruskin, the mid-19thcentury art critic and a writer of notoriously florid prose. It seems to be in fact a fancy sort of word and hardly the ideal choice for a prayer. Equally fancy are the "childhood days" of the invocation. Every other translation known to me seems infinitely more dignified, straightforward and rhythmical. There is first the familiar: "To God Who gives joy to my youth" found in most missals, or the Knox vet-
sion: "To God the Giver of youth and happiness." It is worth noticing that translations from the Heb-
translations rew, unlike from the Vulgate, make no mention of youth or childhood. The Jerusalem bible
has: "Au Dieu de ma joie' and the Grail translation
similarly has: "The God of my joy," while perhaps the best of all is the eloquent Anglican: "God of my joy and gladness." I am not suggesting that we should abandon the Vul-
gate; I am only illustrating
se.e whether it was well finished or in the rough. The sculptor reverently replied: "Men may not see it, but the gods will."
THERE is a legend about a Jewish rabbi and the Emperor Trajan, who presented the difficulty that God should be everywhere and yet not be seen by mortal eyes. "I should like to see Him," said Trajan. The Rabbi answered: "God's Presence is indeed everywhere, but He cannot be seen. No mortal eye can behold His glory." The Emperor insisted. Joshua then suggested that they go and look at one of God's ambassadors. The Emperor assented. The Rabbi took him into the open air at noonday, and bade him look at the sun blazing in noonday splendour. "I cannot see," said Trajan, "the light dazzles me." The Rabbi answered: "Thou
the graciousness of every other translation except the one through which we are now required to worship God. Let us hope that there will be eventually a single translation agreed on for the entire English-speaking part of the Church, as Father Bernard Bassett has so eloquently pleaded. Meanwhile, I am sure that I speak for large numbers of the people of God when I express the hope that our Bishops will reconsider this translation. One is afraid that these latest changes in the Mass will be the most resistant to further change, just as temporary buildings so often seem to end up by becoming permanent. Yours, etc., (Mrs.) E. J. KOVESI, Claremont.
PLANNED GIVING
SIR,I consider the whole
concept of planned giving in its present form is utterly unrealistic. continued the Despite operation of planned giving in this parish (and in many others ), parishioners have been struggling to make do with a church-school for over ten years. However, in older parishes such as Leederville, Subiaco, Nedlands, Claremont, Highgate—to name just a few— it is presumed that all church debts have been liquidated and therefore the children are reaping the fruits of their parents' labours and are escaping their financial obligations In scot-free. practically these parishes it is ridiculously easy to collect for such inconsequential items as bells, extra luxurious church fittings, flower gardens and the like.

not the God Who so loved man that He would send His Son as the Good Samaritan to take poor, weak, fallen human nature to the inn of refreshment and recovery. It is rather the evil which men do which makes them attribute this kind of detective eye to God. It is the deliberate wrong which makes us see God as
art unable to bear the light of one of these creatures; how then couldst thou look upon the Creator? Would not such a light annihilate thee?" Hagar, the Egyptian maid, was fleeing with her son Ishmael from the wrath of Sara. She called the name of the Lord Who spoke to her: "Thou God seest me." This eye of God is not to be thought of as an eye searching out our evil deeds. It is also a source of consolation, for it means that the Father's eye is filled with compassion, knowing all the trouble of our spirit, our hopes and our aspirations —even our failures.
Revengeful Justice. From another point of view, God sees not the superficial self, but the real self; not the mask which we are wearing, but the heart behind it. The mask is that
presentation we make to others in which we are careful to ignore or excuse all that is evil or faulty in us, or magnify all that is good. How many would be willing to hide behind a hedge and hear his faults and failings described with accuracy by a neighbour? We would complain that it was not a real description of our mask. God's eye is fluxed not on the phantom, but on him who creates it; not on the ideal, but on the actual.
The amazing thing is that God Who sees the series of our years gone by, as well as the marks that we have left upon

University Chancellor Gives Warnin S YDNEY: If the Churches were to win their fight in t he universities, they would have to come back there very s trongly with all their intellectual force. The Chancellor of Sydney University, Sir Charles McDonald, K.C.S.G., said this when delivering the Camden
Congregational Theological College (Glebe) inaugural lecture in the Stephen Roberts Theatre, at Sydney University. Taking as his subect "The Religious Vocation and the Crisis for Religion in the Modern World," Sir Charles said: "We to whom I suppose has been entrusted the cause of religion should come into the universities where the intellectual fight is on.
"But they get away with it largely because those who believe in the Divinity of Christ or in God or Revelation scuttle away as though frightened: "A great Quaker scholar named Kelly visited Europe in 1938 and 1939. When he returned to America he said that 'all earthy security has gone but is has always gone and religion has always said so.' "I have learnt to know and respect the great majority of university men. Even if they have no faith the great majority are honest intellectual men, and every now and then a man who is a great scientist or great scholar in some other department proves also to be a great saint."

SAIGON: FATHER Leon Dujon 46, of Paris Foreign Missions, was taken prisoner by the communist Viet Cong in a Catholic village in Kontum Province, central Vietnam. March 6. Many, if not all, of the villagers were taken away with him. They belong to the Sedang Mountain tribe. This is the second time Father Dujon was taken by the Viet Cong. He was first seized by them February 24, but was released the next day. About a year ago he was wounded badly when the Viet Cong opened fire with a machine gun on him in the small French car in which he made the rounds in his mountain parish.

The accident happened in an artificial lake beyond g dam built in the Sankj river to supply water for the steel city of Rourkela. There were about 100 persons on the ferry, and 52 boys and girls saved themselves by swimming to tree stumps protuding near the shore. The group was heading for Kesramal, where Orissa state's yearly sodality rally has been held since 1908. Thousands of Catholics from industrial centres and distant jungle villages of this part of East India were already walking in a candlelight procession in honour of Our Lady of Fatima when the tragedy occured. When word of the sinking reached Kesramal, three Divine Word missionaries immediately set out to aid. in the search for the bodies. Bishop Hermann Westermann, S.V.D., of Sambalpur celebrated a Requiem Mass for the drowned next morning (February 22), with some 5,000 sodality members participating.
Harshly Treated MADRID: Twenty -Cuban doctors practically all former members of the Catholic University Association — have been receiving particularly harsh punishment in a prison on Cuba's Isle of Pines, according to persons recently arriving here from Havana. The doctors are meted out the harsher treatment for allegedly encouraging prisoners to resist communist indoctrination. Some are reported to have been for six months in a dungeon without light, ventilation or clothes. Their scarce rations are often taken by rats before they can get them. One doctor, Andres Cao, father of four children, is said to have lost his sight totally. It is reported that an exiled Spanish doctor, a former member of the leftish International Brigade in the Spanish civil war, is in charge of the imprisoned doctors.

The cardinal, bedridden in his apartment in the palace of the Apostolic Chancery about a mile from the Vatican had been visited by popes a number of times before. Pope John XXIII paid several visits to his bedside, the last in March of 1963, when he himself was approaching his final illness. Cardinal Micara despite his feeble health had been able to take part in the conclave at which Pope Paul was elected, but was confined to his bed again shortly afterward. Pope Paul spent a half-hour visiting him that July just a week after his coronation.
New Y.C.W. Head
BRUSSELS, Belgium: A Belgian priest, Father Marcel Uylerbroeck, has been named chaplain general of the International Young Christian Workers ( YCW) succeeding Joseph Cardinal Cardijn, the organisation's founder. It is reliably reported that Cardinal Cardijn proposed his own resignation at a meeting of the international committee of the YCW last November in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, several months before the 82-year-old prelate was elevated to the College of Cardinals. The appointment of Father Uylenbroeck was confirmed by the Vatican Secretariat of State. Father Ulyenbroeck has held many positions in the YCW over the years and became national YCW chaplain in Belgium in 1948. Since 1959 he has helped Cardinal Cardijn in the management of the international organisation.

GREAT as is this mystery—that two should become one—greater still is the mystery of a Chrstian marriage — that three should become one. For a Christian marriage is not just the union of two people —there are three persons involved. There is the husband; there is the wife; and there is Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Son of Man. The more husband and wife become one with each other, the more they become one with Christ. For to the extent that you love one another in your marraige to that extent do you love God. To the extent that you complement, perfect, complete each other. to that extent do you become better lovers of each other and make of each other better lovers of God. There is another secret to a Christian marriage and family. God does not leave a couple alone. He as a Third Partner is always with them. First, because He has made of their gift of total self to each other a Sacrament of Human Love — the Sacrament of Matrimony. Through this Sacrament He gives them the pledge of a gift of Himself to them—a pledge that they now have the right not only to ask or to beg, or to pray for His help and grace, but literally now they have the right to demand it. In all their loving of each other and of Him it will be His Love, His Grace supporting them, encouraging them, helping them become one.

DIVINE
LOVE
IN Holy Communion God gives Himself to you completely. Why? Is it because you are so attractive, so lovable in yourself? Sometimes you may be. Many times you are not. Is it because you are so grateful for His gift of Himself and appreciative of Its meaning? Many times you just take it for granted. But still He continues to give Himself to you in Holy Communion. Because He loves you and you have need of Him. Such is the Sacrament of Divine Love—the Eucharist. OF
HUMAN
LOVE
IT is not too different in the Sacrament of Human Love—Matrimony. Here, also, each is asked to give himself or herself completely to the other. Why do you give? Because the gift is appreciated Many times the gift and gratitude is returned? won't even be noticed. Why do you continue to give then? Because the other member of the family is so attractive and lovable? Perhaps he or she isn't at the moment and might not be for some time. And yet you continue to love, to give, because you have the gift to give and the other person has the need of receiving it. It is important to tie together your Sacrament of Human Love that is Matrimony with the Sacrament of Divine 1.40ve that is the Eucharist. And it is important to do it not just as a collection of individuals but as a family unit. Receive God, Who is Love Itself. in Holy Communion as a family group—if possible and whenever possible. Receive Him for each other—husband for wife, she for him, parents for children, and children for parents. You will be making to each other not only your usual little gifts of love. You will be giving to each other the greatest gift ever. You will be giving God to each other. You will be giving Love in Person to each other. You will be receiving from each ether the greatest gift possible—God Himself. What more can you do in a marriage and a family than to give and receive Him Who is Love—and may you love one another as He has loved you!

MARKET. The charges had been made by the leftist weekly, Espresso, which stated that Italy's Christian Democratic government was manoeuvring to pass a law exempting the Vatican from payment of the enormous tax bill. Under the 1929 Lateran pacts recognising the sovereignty of Vatican City, Italy acknowledged that the Vatican does not have to pay taxes to Italy, In 1962, however, the Italian parliament passed a law taxing profits made in stock transactions. The proposed new law would clarify the 1962 law to make it conform to the Lateran treaties.
"The lay people,- said the Bishop, "are called upon to co-operate in the tasks of the Church and everyone has to find his place and to recognise God's will in helping open the world for God." He declared that Christians should "live in the present for the future," always upholding the firm conviction "that Christianity is the religion of the future, for it is the religion of the new and the eternal man."

BONN: Germany's Catholic news agency has reported that an unidentified Rumanian prelate has stated in Rome that his country's communist government is ready to begin talks on Church-State problems with the Holy See. The agency also said experts on Rumanian affairs believe that Rumanian government officials are willing to sign a concordat with the Vatican. As a sign of decreasing Church-State tension in Rumania, it noted that Premier Ion Gheorghe Maurer recently attended the Catholic funeral of his mother.

Rather it arises from the Church's total approach to the value of life and family existence.

The campaign was described here by a Chinese Catholic woman from Shanghai who obtained her exit from the communists after waiting a number of years. She said the "antisuperstition" drive is causing particular hardships for Christians who live in rural areas of China. In cities such as Shanghai, she said Sunday Masses are celebrated in several churches, but they are sparsely, attended by the few remaining Catholics who fear compromising themselves with progovernment "patriotic" priests. The woman said the communist government does not permit the baptism of children under 18 years of age. She said children of Christian families are not permitted to attend universities.

Some of the directors of ANIC regretted that the Mass had lost in solemnity and that the traditional ret he lationship between priest and faithful had been altered. This is one of the things that Cardinal Colombo of Milan aims to alter. Previously High Mass in the Milan cathedral was attended by a few in the church's central nave, while most aimed at an "instant Mass" at the innumerable side altars. The Cardinal has erected a simple altar almost in the centre of the cathedral and abolished the side altar Masses. He also celebrates the "latecomers' Mass" at noon.

There was no discussion of whether the declaration on the Jews would be added to the Constitution on the Church. The presence of the French Dominican Yves Congar led to a redrafting in which the theological and social aspects of religious liberty are shown as more complementary than in the text presented to the third session. That text was criticised by some French periti as too "American" because they considered it skimmed over the theological foundation of the question. The reworked texts will be considered by Pope Paul before the end of March and will be given their final form after a further plenary session of the Secretariat in May.

The eighth prayer, now entitled simply "For thc Jews," reads as follows: "Let us pray for the Jews, that our God and Lord will make His countenance shine upon them so that they also may recognise the Redeemer of all, Jesus Christ our Lord."

THE RECORD
Supports School Aid • SYDNEY: The visiting Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, has given a boost to those working in Australia to win state aid for church-related and other private schools. In an interview at Bathurst, Archbishop Michael ' Ramsey declared his approval in principle for such assistance. He said: "In England there is state aid for church schools. The state provides a proportion and the churches provide a proportion for their own schools. I think it is a very good idea indeed. It is good that the state encourage the should churches to fulfill their own part within the national system of education." The prelate's position took on additional interest because the Council of Churches in New South Wales, a Protestant body that includes Anglicans, has informed the state's political leaders that it continues to oppose government aid in independent schools. REUNION PROSPECTS Archbishop Ramsey also commented on Christian reunion prospects in his Bathurst interview. He was asked whether in his own unity appeals he meant that there should be one church throughout the world, or whether the churches should work more closely together. He replied: "I think of Christian unity in three stages. The first is that all churches work closely together, as allies and partners. The second stage is that, wherever possible, the churches should unite into one church. That is happening in certain parts of the world. The third stage, finally, is the uniting of all Christians into one church." MET CARDINAL At a dinner honouring him in the Government House here, Archbishop
Ramsey met Norman Cardinal Gilroy of Sydney. The Cardinal sent representatives to a civic reception for the touring Anglican prelate and to an Anglican rally he addressed.
In Bathurst, Bishop Albert Thomas attended a religious reception for Archbishop Ramsey at the Anglican All Saints' Cathedral. It was the first time a Catholic prelate had attended a service there. At a civic reception Bishop Thomas, of Bathurst paid tribute to the work of Archbishop Ramsey for Christian unity.
Pope Speaks On Liturgy
VATICAN CITY: Pope Paul VI has pointed out that the confusion and the annoyances arising from the new liturgical changes are inevitable and spring from the very nature of a practical reform. Speaking at his regular weekly general audience, the Pontiff noted that the confusion and consequent annoyance experienced by many people causes disturbances at Mass and does not permit the peace and quite of old. But, the Pope said, in some cases in the past there was not really a "true devotion and a true sense of the significance and value of holy Mass, but a certain spiritual indolence which did not want to expand any personal effort of intelligence and participation for a better understanding and a better offering of the most sacred religious act." The Pope warned his listeners not to believe that after some time they will be able to return to the "quiet, devout and lazy practices of the past." DIFFERENT APPROACH He said the new approach must be different and must work to banish the "passivity of the faithful present at holy Mass." Before, it was enough to assist. Now one must participate. Before, one's pre-
sence was enough. Now attention and action are required. Before, some were able to doze and perhaps talk. Now this is not so. One must listen and pray." Pope Paul said he had been delighted greatly to receive letters from those who welcome the new changes in the liturgy, and told his listeners that they must understand that the new reform, "this spiritual renaissance, cannot come about without co-operation, without your voluntary and serious participation."

Hails Work Of Council
DUBLIN: One of the world's leading Lutheran bishops has hailed the work of the Ecumenical Council. Visiting Dublin to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the opening of St. Finian's Church, Bishop Johannes Lilje, presiding bishop of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church of Germany, addressed an audience at the German Institute for Cultural Relations. Speaking on "The World Ecumenical Movement," he declared that the Second Vatican Council is a tremendous event. "The cause that has brought the Protestant churches and Rome together must be so powerful that they must work together in spite of all the difficulties," he said. He hailed the recent announcement of Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J., president of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, that the Catholic Church would co-operate with the World Council of Churches as "opening up a new avenue in the relations between Rome and the other Christian churches." Bishop Lilje is a former president of the Lutheran World Federation.
CONTRACT IS SIGNED FOR S.A. SEMINARY EXTENSIONS
ARCHBISHOP BEOVICH of Adelaide and Bishop Gallagher of Port Pine have signed a contract for the building of extensive additions to St. Francis Xavier's Provincial Seminary, Adelaide—the contract price is £276,175. Additions will provide study-bedrooms for 71 students and their professors, with dining and service quarters. Built-in furniture and kitchen equip-
ment are included in the contract.
The building is expected to be completed by February 1966. This will allow existing dormitories to be refitted as classrooms for the next scholastic year. West Australians attend St. Francis Xavier's Seminary where they study Theology after having completed a Philosophy course at St. Charles' Seminary, Guildford.

Faith In The Victory Of Christ ROME: Joseph Cardinal Beran declared that only faith in the ultimate victory of the crucified Christ sustained him during the years of his internment in communist Czechoslovakia.
The cardinal, who is Archbishop of Prague, spoke during ceremonies in which he took possession of his titular church of the Holy Cross on the Flaminia highway. In perfect Italian, Cardinal Beran told an overflow congregation that the chapels of the four houses
Pope Denounces Secularism
ROME: Pope Paul VI denounced "unbridled secularism" in a sermon at Rome's St. Joseph's Church where he celebrated Mass in Italian on the second Sunday of Lent. The Pope's sermon was based on the episode in which Christ asked St. Peter what he thought of the Son of Man. Pope Paul asked what the modern world would reply to this question. He answered: "Modern man does not want Christ to reign, indeed he wants Him removed. He wants to cancel His name and His presence. It is an unbridled secularism which always surges before the doors of our churches and rages in many countries. "But we know who Christ is. We know that He is our master, our light, our joy, our hope, our way and our goal. Strengthen faith in Jcsus Christ in your hearts. His face is the sun of our souls and this is the way we must say together in the Church: Lod,Ibelieve."
in which he was interned were dedicated to the Holy Cross. "This was for me a comfort, an invitation to confidence that Christ won in the end, andI—unworthy— with Him," said the cardinal. "This confidence will fortify me also in my activities . . . It will be a guarantee of the help of Christ in preserving the priests and the faithful people of my dear Archdiocese of Prague." Cardinal Beran recalled his days of study in Rome during the time of Pope Pius X, and then he stated: "It has now been recalled that Iwith my perseverance and constancy may have encouraged Catholics of the whole world. This was the Grace of God which worked within me and prepared Irle andIam sure it will be with me in the future. May all of you pray together with me so that I can exclaim with St. Paul: 'This grace of God was not in vain.'" Cardinal Beran celebrated Mass in Italian and delivered the sermon in honour of St. Joseph. :•02( ggwitperu r. ENJOY THE

Request Inspired Act Of Practical Charity
hearts of a group of local
from a native nun in India has touched the A LETTER government employees and resulted in an act of charity which has brought dolight to thousands of Catholics in the Chotangpur jungle.
After having read a promotion magazine on the development of Western Australia, Mother Mary Luke, of the Ursuline Convent, Ranchi, wrote to a high govern ment official in Perth and told him of the miserable plight of her community and the people of the area. In the letter Mother Luke said that there were over lour hundred girls attending the school conducted by the Ursulines, with about fifty pupils crowded into each of the 10ft. x 10ft. classrooms. Because most of the girls came from poor families, they were unable to pay boarding fees and as the
nuns received very little as. sistance from the Government the running of the institution was almost impossible. Mother Luke said that there were no amenities for physical education and they were unable to afford to buy musical instruments. "We hear only hundreds of little birds singing around us," she wrote. NO HARMONIUM What seemed to distress Mother above all else was that neither the parish church nor the convent had an organ and consequently the Sisters were unable to
teach the girls to sing the Mass. Although concerned about the predicament of Mother Luke and her fellow Sisters, the official had to explain that for obvious reasons it was not possible for the Government to give them any assistance.

SELMA MARCH: SELMA, Ala: As we come over the bridge we saw the state troopers lined up about 200 yards ahead. I was marching in the second line just behind Dr. King and other leaders, and from where I was it looked like a whole regiment waiting for us.
ALL OF US HAD ALREADY MADE OUR COMMITMENT IN MIND AND CONSCIENCE. As some of the clergymen put it, we were going to Golgotha without the cross. Still, as we marched we couldn't help asking each other what tear gas felt like and hoping that, if there was going to be violence, at least the older clergy wouldn't be badly beaten. The actual confrontation came about ten yards in front of the police line. The authorities told us we could not pass beyond the line because it would endanger public safety. Dr. King asked to make a s tatement. He said we had a right to walk to Montgomery to protest to the Governor about the brutal violence of Sunday, March 7, when scores of peaceful demonstrators were injured by the tear gas and clubs of State policemen. Dr. King then asked permission to pray. We knelt ,in the middle of the fourlane highway. The sun was shining brightly as we prayed. Bishop John Wesley Lord, the Methodist Bishop of Washington, urged us to love America and love one another. Monsignor Thomas Reese, of Wilmington, reminded us that Christ had made all men brothers. Rabbi Richard Hirsch, of Washington, recalled that no men — whites included — are really free unless all men are free. Dr. King made a further statement, urging his followers to avoid hatred and respond to provocations with love. In the midst of our prayers, the police line opened up. If it had been Dr. King's wish, we would certainly have continued marching. But instead he and the other leaders turned us back and the group returned to Selma. HIGH-WATER MARK The feeling among those who had taken part in the march was definitely one of frustration and disappointment. We were grateful that there was no violence. But many had seen this as the high-water mark of direct involvement by the churches in the civil rights movement, in the South. And, immedi ately at least, there was not much to show for it. Clergy had come from all over the country for this demonstration. Inevitably we thought of what would happen to the people of Selma after we left. The

• The author of this article, FATHER GENO BARON!, was one of some forty Catholic priests from many parts of the United States who joined Protestant and Jewish clergy in the March 9 protest march led by Dr. Martin Luther King in Selma demonstrating against denial of voting rights to Negroes. State police took movie films of the marchers every step along the way. What happens to these people now? The clergy who took part in the march were and are emotionally and spiritually involved with the people's sufferings. Even if we wanted to avoid this, we couldn't have. Take the experience of 40 of us who came from Washington aboard a chartered plane. After driving the 50 miles from the airport at Montgomery, Alabama, we arrived in Selma at night. When we entered Brown's Chapel we found it filled— people were packed into three balconies. As we came in, the speakei stopped and the people struck up the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The aisles opened. people embraced us and kissed us and gave us their places to sit. Afterwards others offered to us. Children, teenagers, open their poor homes to adults — all asked if they could do anything for us in any way. After an experience like this, it isn't possible to stand aloof from the pain of these people who have been victimised and brutalised for claiming their rights and their human dignity — that dignity and those rights which Pope John XXIII told us men have a duty to claim. GREAT RISKS INVOLVED When people's legitimate hopes are frustrated, as they have been repeatedly in Selma, there are great risks involved. There is a real danger that they will lose heart and begin to despair. In Selma I heard people singing "We Ain't Gonna Be Turned Around"—but I also remember a 16-year-old boy named Maurice with a bandaged head who was singing a song that began, "There ain't no God." The dangers are particularly great in regard to the students and young people

who provide so much of the leadership in the civil rights movement. Those who believe in the noble philosophy of nonviolence as a way of life are hard pressed by others who regard non-violence as nothing more than a tactic, an instrument to be employed when it is useful and abandoned when it no longer serves the purpose. If exponents of nonviolence like Dr. King and his associates fail to win significant victories in Selma and elsewhere, then nonviolence may lose its place as the inspiration of the civil rights movement. The march had many good side-effects. For one thing, it demonstrated as never before that the clergy are prepared not merely to speak about the principles of equality and brotherhood but to act upon them. Priests, ministers and rabbis showed that they could walk as well as talk. BOOST TO ECUMENISM It also gave a tremendous boost to the ecumenical spirit. This experience created a deep and meaningful bond among clergy of many faiths from many parts of the country. Catholics, Presbyterians, Unitarians, Lutherans, Jews, Episcopalians — we got a new and healthy respect for each other on that highway out of Selma. The march underlined the civil rights commitment of the Catholic clergy as never before. Many of the speakers in Brown's Chapel pointed out with happiness and gratitude that this was the first time that so many Catholic priests, acting with their bishops' permission, had joined them on the front lines of the movement. I think one monsignor spoke for all of us when he said that the sense of unity and sharing he experienced on this occasion was as close as he expects to come in this life to the feeling of unity and brotherhood in the next.

FRUSTRATION, COURAGE AND HOPE Hails President's Address CHICAGO: THE executive director of the major Catholic civil rights organisation has saluted President Johnson for his address to Congress and the nation on voting rights. Mathew Ahmann of the National Catholic Conference on Inter -racial Justice said "the statesmanship of President Johnson in the midst of the civil rights crisis demonstrates the vigorous leadership which has made the United States a great nation." "The President's clear determination to win the promise and• reality of freedom for disenfranchised Negroes will rally the people of all regions of the country," said Ahmann, "As the President indicated in his address, the United States must respond to its conscience as that conscience has been aroused by Dr. Martin Luther King and the witness of several thousand priests, nuns, Brothers and lay men and women," he said. "GREAT JOY" Ahmann, himself a participant in several Selma demonstrations, called it a -"great joy" to see the President "so solid in his determination to act for justice and love . . . and spell out with such clarity the moral nature of the crisis and say that the country has a moral obligation to pass and enforce legislation which will easily enable each and every citizen to vote." Ahmann called attention to the President's support of the right to speak freely and to demonstrate. "This cannot be overstressed for that constitutional and moral right has been denied too often and too long, too frequently at the pain of death," he said.

Archbishop Asks for Racial Peace
BIRMINGHAM, U.S.A.: ALABAMA'S Catholic bishop has extended his "complete support" to every legitimate effort by Negroes to exercise fully their constitutional rights. Archbishop Thomas J. Toolen, Bishop of Mobile Birmingham, said justice, decency and Christian brotherhood demand recognition of the real needs of Alabama's Negroes. The prelate's comments were in a statement on racial tension and violence in Selma, which appeared in the Catholic Week, newspaper of the diocese. Archbishop Toolen's statement said: "We cannot remain silent in the face of growing racial tension and violence in the Selma area of our diocese. Justice, human decency and Christian brotherhood demand recognition of the real needs of our Negro people and every legitimate effort in their struggle to exercise fully all their constitutional rights has our complete support.'' CONDEMNED BRUTALITY "We condemn without reservation a harsh and brutal exercise of the police power vested in the hands of our
public officials as beyond the requirements of present difficulties and unable to effect their solution. At the same time we cannot condone a complete disregard on the part of citizens for statutes legally enacted in the interest of the common good and public safety. "Lasting results cannot be achieved in an atmosphere charged with hostility and mutual recrimination. Such an atmosphere must be controlled and dispersed, otherwise it will surely lead to more violence. And those who see in violence an answer, or the means to an answer, are certainly wrong. This is true whether violence is used to perpetuate existing injustice or deliberately provoked for the sake of influencing public opinion, especially where other means exist. "To often we have to deplore bloodshed in the past because no one spoke up and none was willing to listen. It is hoped that the voices of conscience, common sense and fraternal charity may now combine with clear dictates of law to preserve the lives, dignity and rights of all our fellow citizens.

U.S. CHURCH HAS LAUNCHED FORMAL ECUMENICAL WORK WASHINGTON: The seven-member Bishops' Commission for Ecumenical Affairs took steps here to plunge the U.S. Catholic Church into the mainstream of ecumenical encounter. Under the guidance of Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore, the commission briskly advanced Catholic involvement by approving nearly a dozen projects. At the conclusion of the private meeting, Monsignor William W. Baum, executive director of the commission, said these actions were taken: • Approval of an effort to draw up suggested guidelines for U.S. bishops on common of matters prayer and worship with other Christians. • Establishment . of eight subcommissions to explore the possibilities of conversations formal with Orthodox, Protestant and Jewish bodies. • Endorsement of a workshop in Boston, Massachusetts, in June for officials and representatives of dioceses engaged in ecumenical activities. • Approval of a similar workshop for representatives of the nation's seminaries, perhaps held in conjunction with the Boston meeting. • Exploration of the idea of a proposed Inter-
Institute Confessional ReEcumenical for search. • Agreement to seek the services of clerical and lay experts to assist the work of the bishops, especially in the subcommissions dealing with other religious bodies. Monsignor Baum said the course now being steered in ecoumenical affairs is being determined on the local level by individual bishops guided by the vatican Council's decree on ecumenism. This, he said, is in line with the decree which states: "The course to be adopted, with due regard to all the circumstances of time, place and persons, is to be decided by local episunless authority, copal otherwise provided for by the Bishop's Conference according to its statutes, or by the Holy See." CONSIDERS DIRECTORY The Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, pressed by matters directly related to the Second Vatican Council's work, has begun consideration of a directory of ecumenical practices, but has not completed it, Monsignor Baum said.

The Chairman will be Bishop J. Flanagan of Worcester, The Orthodox Mass. group recently voted to engage in formal talks. • Subcommission for conthe with versations of Council National Churches.

This unit will be directed by Bishop Ernest L. Unterkoefler of Charleston, S.C.
• Subcommission for dialogue with other Christian churches. Auxiliary. Bishop Joseph B. Brunini of Natchez-Jackson, Miss. will head this group. It will deal with churches with which there have been no preliminary conversations. • Subcommission to explore the question of the relationship between the Catholic unit and Jews. Bishop Francis P. Leipzig of Baker, Ore., will direct. Monsignor Baum said that he and Father Joseph Flynn, C.S.P., of St. Paul's College, a Paulist seminary here, were instructed by the commission to prepare a report on a proposed Inter Confessional Institute for Ecumenical Research.

Therry Society BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN FOR THERRY'S NEXT PRODUCTION "THE WOODCARVER" BY MORRIS BROWN. This play is the society's offering to the community for the Lenten season. It poses many questions and answers, many about how people react to the story of the Crucifixion in our modern times. This is one play that should not be missed by anybody. It is a moving story set in our present day to day lives, a story of what could happen in your own family today or tomorrow. The play will run for a limited season only—Saturday, April 3, Thursday, April 8, Friday, April 9 and final night on Saturday, April 10 c ommencing at 8.15 p.m. The Folk Singing night on March 26 was another great success—extra chairs were needed for the large crowd attending. Therry members worked in a wonderful team effort to turn the Hall into a coffee shop for the night, worked through the evening serving coffees and then turned the Hall back into its usual order afterwards. The committee thank the members most sincerely for all this hard work. The results of it can already be seen—there will be no more hiring of spotlights for Therry productions, they've been purchased!

N A NINE-EVENT PROGRAMME AT ASCOT LAST S ATURDAY PUNTERS WENT CLOSE TO HAVING A ROYAL DAY AS FOUR FAVOURITES WERE SUCCESSFUL AND THREE OTHER FAVOURITES RAN SECOND. The longest-priced winner at the meeting started at 7-1. Strange in racing how days with good results and those not so good usually come in cycles. Saturday's turn of the tide was long overdue and it could well be that more good results are close at hand.

Long Wait
WHEN Cuprite won the eight-furlong Novice Handicap (1) with great ease—he only had eight lengths to spare at the finish—he ended a long wait for his connections. He was placed at his three previous outings, and more than once was unlucky. In a keen struggle for second place King Valiant, who drew wide, got the verdict from Black Bean. The third horse, a bay and not a black as one might expect, finished wide out to show his best form to date, and he could soon win a race. Johnny Wilson turned the winning ride down in favour of Rowley Lou, but that

horse bolted in the morning and had to be withdrawn. Mery Posner was given the mount, which turned out to be an armchair ride. Andycap, racing without luck, beat the rest. 4.#########.~.11.4KMMINININIVNININI
Hearsay Unlucky
THE Attfield Handicap of six furlongs resulted in a good finish with Dialect just beating the favourite New Guard and Hearsay. Only a length separated the three colts. The third horse, Hearsay, was most unlucky. Settling in behind the two leaders Dialect and New Guard on entering the straight, Davies was waiting for a rails run. When it did not occur he pulled Hearsay to the outside, but the switch cost him a couple of lengths. Once clear, he rattled home, but the post was too near. This was a first-class performance and it is going to take a good one to down him next start. Kimblerley Star, for whom t here was gcod support, ran his best race but he was a fair vrly back in fourth place.
A CATHOLIC PAPER IN EVERY HOME

Likely Stayer ONCE again Sheroic, short-priced favourite, gave her backers a fright when she was near last in a strung-out field with four furlongs to go. Then she stretched out, went around the field and won the Novice Handicap (2) in good style. As she has proved tardy early in her races, owner trainer Jack McLarty has wisely decided to restrict her races to distance events which should suit her. The win was the second for Jack within a week—he won a race with Ballabile at Bunbury—after being out of the winning list for nearly three years. Honest John and the early pacemaker, Flying Ribbons, filled the places behind Sheroic, but there was nothing special about their runs.

LUSTEROID followed up her Bunbury win with another in the six-furlong Advance Handicap (2). She did the job in pleasing style and is evidently thriving on racing. She could win again. Dame Ena finished strongly to run second — this mare has never looked better and more is sure to be heard of her in this class of race from now on. Returning after a short spell, Magic Red ran third, adding another to his long list of placings without a win. The run followed his usual pattern of making what appeared to be a winning dash on entering the straight, only to shorten stride and later finish on to gain a place. His place tote supporters were shocked when he only paid

Lacked Dash STANLEO, who has recently shown considerable promise, ran a very ordinary race when he could only finish third to Pastel Lady and Jon Nearco in the 1O -furlong Mill Point Handicap (2). Most likely Stanleo will now be spelled, something the many punters who sent him out a short-priced favourite wish had happened earlier. The winner has been a model of consistency having won at six of her last nine starts. It is outstanding how the progeny of her sire, Night Guardian, keep on winning once they strike top form. Signum ran a fair race to finish fourth, but could be seen to better advantage over a longer distance. Heavily backed Cashmore never looked like winning.

Once he hit the front in the straight he ran about for a few strides, a habit which has cost better horses than this fellow races. Taken to the front early, Kinglike was set a mighty task to win with 9.5. Even then he hung on to finish fourth. For a three-year-old filly to carry 9.4 and still run sixth in this neld was no mean feat on the part of Key's Folly. Her turn snould come again soon.

Who Lost? USUALLY both punters and bookmakers claim to have lost over a racing round. Speaking to several punters who visited Bunbury last, week, there was not one loser among them, while a number of bookmakers also said they won, although two of them added that they had just won. Still trying to woik out where the win flings came from. With increased stakes, a big tote turnover and record attendances on both days, the Round was claimed to be their best ever. However, complaints were numerous about the lack of proper facilities for eating and drinking, while a leading rider mentioned that the jockeys' room is shocking. Surely now is the time foi the clue to do something if it wants to hold the large number of visitors from Perth and other places.

Two Kinds Of Reaction BACKSTAGE.. Beethoven: Fidelio (Complete in German) Two Decca discs 115/'Fidelio' is apt to produce two kinds of reactions among music lovers, both first over-assertive. The runs something like this— Beethoven is the greatest of all composers, he composed 'Fidelio', therefore it is the greatest opera ever written. The opposite reaction is to say that 'Fidelio' is such a bad opera that, had the composer been anyone other than Beethoven, it would have long since been forgotten. The truth, as usual, lies somewhere between these two extremes but it is difficult for anyone to be truly objective with this opera. A little example of this —as is well known, Beethoven was never quite happy with the overture and wrote four, the first three of which are often heard at concerts, particularly `Leonore No. 3'; in Vienna, so I have been told, it is traditional to stop the opera at the climax play the other three overtures, and then proceed with the finale. DRAMATIC DRIVE Mercifully, nothing like this occurs in the Decca recording. Maazel, the conductor, tries to give the maximum dramatic drive to the opera and nearly succeeds in making it come alive. Too much accent on the dramatic action, however, reveals all too clearly its weakness because the plot is merely a simple 'escape' melodrama so popular in the Romantic era. The characters are mere types and the action is painfully obvious. The opera is set in a prison where the faithful wife ( Leonore ) of a secret prisoner has gained entry disguised as the youth Fidelio to order to try and rescue her husband. Beethoven cared very passionately about the two central themes of the opera, the liberation of the oppressed and the woman's faithfulness. The sublimity of the work comes from the musical expression of the under-
lying ideas rather than in giving the characters musical reality. To be brief, it is a musical masterpiece but a poar opera so the playing of the overtures in the middle isn't quite so illogical as it first sounds. SATISFYING One would expect, then a symphonic conductor to be more successful than an operatic conductor and it is true that the Klemperer version on Columbia is Also, satisfying. more Columbia has Christa Lud-

EANA BRADLEY'S production of "The White Devil" for the Graduate Dramatic Society will open at the Dolphin Theatre in mid-April.
This play by John Webster was written in the first decade of the 17th century. It stands with "The Duchess of Malfi" as Webster's finest. These two plays are among the few non-Shakespearean tragedies of this time to preserve their fame and even to witness occasional revival en the tage. The play concentrates on a woman, Vittoria Corombona, who is prepared to indulge in any crime in crder to achieve her ambitious ends. In some respects Webster exhibits the true dramatist's skill in the handling of his scenes; and hardly any could match him in conjuring up of dark, macabre situations illuminated by a
wig as Leonore and her singing is more deeply penetrative than that of Birgitt Nilsoon on this set. Nilsson is, of course, the greatest Wagnerian soprano at the moment and 'Fidelio' always seems to have a special attraction for this type of singer —certainly Flagstad thought it the supreme opera. Although Nilsson's singing is very fine, she remains a singer whereas Ludwig conveys the underlying message. The Decca issue has some advantages over the Columbia—it is a brighter recording and it is twothirds the price, being fitted on two discs instead of Columbia's three. The libretto is also much superior. For those who can afford it, however, I recommend Klemperer and Ludwig. Victoria de los Angeles: Traditiona/ seventeen Songs of Spain. H.M.V.

IN an effort to give dancers more experience, the Aus-' tralian Ballet Company has chosen an unprecedented number of three ballerinas to interpret "Giselle" during its current Sydney season. Kathleen Gorham, who has danced the role in numerous seasons, Marilyn Jones, who took the part for the first time in Perth last year, and Elaine Fifield, who danced it in the Adelaide season are the three. Miss Gorham will be partnered by Garth Welch and Bryan Lawrence will dance with the other two.
PERTH is not the only city to miss out on seeing the Moscow State Circus. Due to a combination of transport problems and a highly successful season in Melbourne, it has cancelled its Adelaide visit. The show will remain in Melbourne until the Sydney visit opening on Easter Saturday. Seems to me as though they are making the best of a good thing.

T WAS THIS QUESSET TION THAT CARDINAL BEVILACQUA MUSING AN ON PAPER FOR ARTICLE IN L'OSSERVATORE DELLA DOMENICA, THE SUNDAY PICTURE MAGAZINE OF VATICAN CITY.
The 83-year-old Cardinal painted a picture of what he would do. At the same time the article disclosed some aspects of the personality of a man who has been a close friend of Pope Paul VI through many years. Herewith are excerpts from his article. It is not the complete article, but rather a sampling of C ardinal .Bevilacqua's thought. • It also reflects some of his experience in building his own church in . Brescia.
order to devastate it and draw from it new idols to be worshipped and new fields of blood to be crossed. "The exterior should avoid eny of that pretentiousness which exasperates the homeless. The people can clearly distinguish between dignity and luxury, which is just waste and ostentation in the service of pride. The bell tower is not a luxury, and for my poor churchI dream of it day and night, because the bell tower is still today 'Ind particularly today, a link between immanence and transcendence. It is rooted in the earth to the point where it identifies itself with it and it soars to the sky with a certainty and determination which seem to affirm the evidence of the invisible above the visible.

In such a case space which expresses the sacred; space which is not sacred because of the cross above it nor because of a statue stuck to its side, but sacred because it is distinctly different from any other built-over space around it, sacred because its warm outlines whisper to the massacred man of the street: 'All of you who are burdened with sorrow, come to me.'
Visible Exchange "I WOULD like my church to be among houses, like many of the greatest cathedrals, so that the uninterrupted and vital exchange be• tween the drama of God and the drama of man may be visible to the eye. Thus the church would become a real heart of blood and flesh in the midst of far too many hearts of glass and mud. "A small garden before it should always represent nature readmitted to cement civilisation. Nature, whicn worshippers have already regarded at all times as the syllabus of God, should become that again, particularly at a time when too many pirates look at it only in
technology ought to find a way of retaining it, by incorporating it, if necessary, It in the main building. should not be left out because it is thought that space is required by essential and magnificent rites. "The atrium represents a necessary psychological preparation and also facilitates the Sunday dialogue, which should not be only in relation to God but also simple conversation among men atmosphere the outside poisoned by money and class. "The portal should be great and triumphant to permit the mild King to go out again among His people and to permit incense and the organ to bring a last note of harmony and scent to the orgy of motor-car horns and the stink of oil. "But I would not want to see omitted the side door, practically hidden, to enable Nicodemus to glide in in the discreet shadows, without any questioning looks which would prevent simplicity and complete sincerity in the dialogue with God.
Evangelical Light
"But above all, three main requirements impose themselves — visibility, comprehensibility and comfort. Worship is the vital exchange between God al4 man, but it can only be this if there is perfect visibility This and comprehension. for the sets problems Church, which it alone has the authority to solve (such as the use of national languages), but it also sets problems for architecture and technology. I believe that the inclination of the floor would facilitate dialogue between the assembly and the altar without projecting shadows of theatricality or profanity within the sacred space. "Comfort is needed because the present generation is weary with toil. There should be no vast, deserted and benchless hall in which the assembly can neither be orderly n •r attentive. In climates there should be heating because it would be inhuman spirituality to ignore the fact that if there is no warmth for the limbs it is more difficult to have warmth in souls.
Personal Piety "I see the interior of the church, in an evangelical -I WOULD like the church light, like a nuptial hall, because Christianity is but the King Who calls all men for the nuptials of the Son. It must be spacious because the Father wants everyone to be present. It must be a nuptial hall in which the first impression is not that of an image (however dear and holy), but that of a cable—the altar—on which everything must converge because everything starts there, grace upon grace, foi the sons of God.
"A great cross should descend from the vault, because the cross is the 'cosmic tree' as it is described in the most ancient paschal homily of the second century. "There should be room for everything, for the confessionals, for the organ and choir, and also for notices which should be so placed as not to offend, as a note of profanity, of vulgarity ( and at times even of devout commercialism), right at the entrance of the church where there should be only the image of the Father who awaits in anguish the prodigal son.

to comply with another equirement of the contemporary world. In the past, a man's home was his castle and permitted him to retire in the silence of his chamber to pray and meditate. Now the silence, the sacred corner of the house may have been lost forever. "The ever more reduced vital and personal space in present-day homes, the invasion of new technologies which brings, even inside houses where it is not wanted, the whole tumult of human voices and struggles the uninterrupted and scream of the street, renders difficult domestic dialogue with God. Therefore, the church must not only provide for the liturgical piety of the great family of Chr.— but also for personal piety. "To be the true church of the living God and of the real man, the church must arise like an act of faith, a gesture of love, an immersion in solidarity with all creatures, a proof of optimism, a defence of the loots of the summits of human life."

BURUNDI: PROBLEMS OF PROGRESS FOR the past ten years Catholics in have been increasing by 70,000 to 85,000 urundi B a year, so that if staff and material means were available, it would be possible to open a new parish with 1,500 parishioners every week.
OVERWORKED CLERGY IN GIANT PARISHES IN FACT, it is impossible to multiply parishes at this rate—four new ones were started in 1961, one each in 1962 and 1963, and four in 1964. The result is that the parishes are too big and the clergy overworked. Indeed, ten of the most populous parishes have 782,000 inhabitants between them. At the 'same time, there are only four or five priests per parish to care for 40,000 to 50,000 Catholics and several hundreds, or sometimes thousands, of catechumens and to prepare about 15,000 children for their First Communion. These priests also spend many hours in the confessional, each of them hearing between 25,000 and 30,000 confessions a year, besides directing such parish organisations as the Legion of Mary and the Young Christian Workers. Moreover, the parishes concerned are fervent-89 per cent of the faithful make their Easter Duties, on an average each of them receives Holy Communion 15 times a year, while only 3.5 per cent of their marriages break up.
GREATEST NEED IS MORE PARISHES IN OTHER WORDS, the greatest obstacle to the spread of the Gospel is the shortage of priests; if their number and that of their lay helpers could be doubled, there would certainly be ever more converts. Obviously, the ideal would be more African priests. However, more than 1,500 would be needed to look after Burundi's over1,600,000 Catholics properly, whereas there are only 300 priests, including 100 Africans, doing parish work in the country. To ensure the future, each of the four dioceses ought to start at least one new parish every year. Now that would imply 12 new parishes a year for the whole country, but the Bujumbura Senior Seminary, with 50 students spread over a seven-year course, will be able, in the immediate future, to supply only six or seven African priests a year. Consequently, more missionary priests will be needed by this country for a long time to come. The same applies to the Brothers, Sisters and lay apostles.
ECUMENISM: WESTERN SAMOA'S PROGRESS ONE of the most striking signs of the times of growing unity is Western Samoa's Church Unity Week. Held outd000rs in the balmy tropical night, the 1964 unity services took place during / Holy Week. Master of Ceremonies was Congregationalist Vavae Tomae, preacher of the nightly . Samoan sermon was Mr. Maddox, a Methodist, while the English sermon was given by Bishop Pearce. Music rose richly in the darkness from a joint choir of students from the Government Training College and the Catholic, Congregationalist and Methodist High Schools. A Catholic lay missionary. Beverley Martin, of Australia, was the soloist for the Octave.
Mr. Desmond's widow contested the .seat for Labour, got 2,000 more first preference votes than Labour got there in the last General Election, the Lemass party (Fianna Fail) dropped about a thousand votes, and so did Mr. James Dillon's party, Fine Gael, which is the main Opposition party. Mr. Lemass regarded the voting as unfavourable to his party—a drop of about three per cent in the first preference votes since the last General Election—and immediately he called a General Election for April 7. That Mrs. Desmond should recapture the seat for Labour in the by-election was not surprising, as by-elections very often go to the relatives of deceased Deputies, but that the Government party, although heading the poll, should drop a thousand votes was not regarded as a good sign by Mr. Lemass.
Here we have the Proportional Representation system. Although the Government party headed the poll, it was short of the quota ( almost 19,000), and what we do then is eliminate the candidates at the bottom of the poll, distributing their votes according to how the voters, having given them first preferences, marked their second, third, etc., preferences. Fine Gael and Labour have participated in InterParty Governments and when the Fine Gael candidate went out—he was third from the top—almost all his votes went to Mrs. Desmond and Labour, putting her over the quota. Under the straight-voting system, such as they have in Britain, the person at the top—in this case, the Government candidate — would have been elected, but here under Proportional Representation series a of "counts" on, and goes through the second, etc., preferences of "eliminated" candidates, the candidate who was second or third from them top may very well be "lifted" into top place. President de Valera tried, by referendum, to have the Proportional Representation system—which is a complicated if representative system — changed by referenoum, but the referendume went against him. The referendum was held at the same time as the Presidential election, but many who voted for De Valera as President voted against any change in the electoral system.
By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen them do not their souls.

In the Dail — the equivalent of the House of Commons—Mr. Lemass, out of 144 seats, has 70; Mr. Dillon has 48; Labour has 18 (including Mrs. Desmond,, there are five Independents, one Clann na Talmhan (the Farmers' Party), one Clann na Poblachta (Republican Party). There is one seat vacant, but the by-election to be held for this one is now unnecessary. The seat was held by Fianna Fail, making 71 for them.
abroad on the state of the State is favourable. The meetings with the Northern Premier have created a new goodwill between the Northern and Republican Governments. Mr. Dillon, leading Fine Gael, which is putting up enough candidates to form a Government, and Mr. Brendan Corish of Wexford, leader of the Labour Party, have to prove that they can not only do what Mr. Lemass .has been doing, but can do it better and do more. Mr. Lemass has chosen his time well. He inherited the Fianna Fail party from Mr. de Valera, who led it until becoming President. Until then, Mr. Lemass was Minister for Industry and Commerce, and in the view of all parties, an able one. Economics are a priority in his career as Premier (in Irish, "Taoiseach," which is pronounced "Tee - shawh, and the Dail is pronounced "Doll") and this suits the mood of much of the younger generation, who are tending towards technology, business efficiency, modern methods. They are throwing away
PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION
GOD LOVE YOU N one of the most frighten ing pages in all literature, Dostoevsky pictures the return of the anti-Christ in our times to taunt Christ: "You refused to turn stones into bread, offering instead Heavenly Bread. How few want that Bread now! You failed to win the mob by becoming a bread-King and you will never get the mob back!" This imagery points ..tp the intensity of Satan's temptation when Our Lord had fasted 40 days. Why not satisfy His own hunger? Was He not seeking to be a Saviour? Then be an economic Saviour! The Cross is not necessary. Men know they have bellies; most of

ested in the poor when they incite bread riots. The devil merely wanted the absence of the miracle to prove that Christ was not God. Satan was arguing: "Man lives by the economic and only that." Our Lord was saying: "Not by the economic alone does man live, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." Man's real support is not in gifts, but in the Giver.
LATER on in His public life, Our Lord did multiply bread to feed the hungry. He look. ed at those who had gather ed to hear Him and had compassion on them. But in the temptation Satan used the argument of hunger as a proof that God was not merciful because He allowed starvation, and that He, Jesus, was not the Son of ASK the average American God; otherwise He would what is most important in immediately have relieved life and he will say: bread, His own hunger. Satan was the economic, profit, the no more interested in giving "almighty dollar," cutting bread to the hungry than corners to make money, and the Communists are inter- more and more of what can
As you see, Premier Lemass has been just short of an overall majority, but has had the consistent support of a few Indepenents. The Mid-Cork by-election did not change his situation, and he could have continued with the confidence that he would not be defeated in the Dail. ECONOMIC EXPANSION He is now, however, in the second of his Programmes for Economic Expansion, there are now factories where there were never factories before, emigration has been reduced, virtually economic a 11 comment
the leprechaun, the fairies, the legends and romance which made the Celtic Twilight, and turning to the whirr of machines. All parties are in this trend. Lemass, being "with it" doesn't necessarily make it easy for him to win a General Election. The Irish are not altogether predisposed towards being in one party, however good it may be, and it took great men indeed, like Parnell, Michael Collins, Eamon de Valera to hold them together at different times prior to the setting up of the State. Quite a few people like to have a one-man party—there
are, however, several small new parties now in the field, some with very good proorammes—and the General Election will be a test of whether Leinass can exercise the magnetism of a De Valera and keep Fianna Fail where it has been — except for a couple of short interludes when the other parties formed a Government —for over thirty years. BRILLIANT PARLIAMENTARIAN James Dillon, who took over the leadership of the main Opposition party only a few years ago, is a brilliant parliamentarian, one of the finest in Europe, with a flair for the dramtic gesture and the colouriul phrase. Mr. Corish, leading the Labour Party, is compartively young, and it must be said for all three — Mr. Lemass, Mr. Dillon and Mr. Corish—that there is not an ounce of malice or bitterness in any one of them. They put forward their programmes with a minimum of personalities, they are all three respected, and a General Election fought by them is expected to be what you might call highly civilised and of course interesting. This decade one of the most interesting changes is that the young men are taking over from the veterans in Ministerial office. The Minister for Agriculture, Mr. Charles Haughey, sonin-law of the Premier, is a comparatively young man; so is Declan Costello of the Fine Gael Party. The last of the older men, like Dr. James Ryan, Minister for Finance, will soon be bowing themselves out of public life—many, such as William Cosgrave, John A. Costello and Eamon de Valera have already done so, This General Election will be, mainly, a judgment of the younger men, and it will be interesting to see how the political parties fare in the younger men's hands—parties that have been handed down to them in pretty good shape by those who brought about the foundations of the State, or, like De Valera, opposed the form it then had and have changed it. It will be interesting indeed to see how the young men of the second generation fare at the polls.
Irish Vocations High • By Leila Carroll DUBLIN: THE tiny nation of Ireland, which once sent its sons to convert Britain and much of Northern Europe, still has more than its share of men and women who leave home to spread the word of God in Africa, Asia — even the United States. The remarkable fact about Irish vocations is not only that there are so many, but that their number has remained so consistently high. While many countries are struggling to achieve some modest increase in vocations, Ireland continues to have more than the Church needs at home. As a result, Irish priests, Brothers and nuns leave here daily fo t all parts of the world. be seen, felt and counted. You, average Catholics, with which side do you ally yourselves? Do you look, and looking have compassion? Or do you live by the dollar sign, saying that you are not your brother's keeper? Write to us and let your sacrifice be your answer. God love you! 0

Statistics for 1963 reveal that 404 priests were ordained in Ireland. Of these, only 93 were ordained for Irish dioceses. Another 106 were ordained for "foreign" dioceses, 46 were members of missionary societies, and 159 belonged to other religious orders and congregations. Most Irish dioceses have all the priests they need, and it is very rare that one of them may have to borrow a priest from another diocese. Consequently, many young men are ordained to serve in dioceses overseas. Several years ago, when President Eamon de Valera returned from a trip around the world, he said it seemed that everywhere he went he was welcomed by Irish nuns
or was told they were living nearby. Foreign dignitaries have paid tribute to the efforts of the missionaries. Presid, nt Kenneth Kuanda of Zambia, during a State visit to D Lblin, paid a call to the Sisters of Charity at St. Vincent's Hospital here to thank them for the work their community was doing in his African nation. It is possible to hear fre• ouent criticisms of the Irish school system. Yet one cannot deny that the schools— along with Ireland's close f amily ties—are devoted to Christian values. For many years they have been developing young people who have carried their religion to all parts of the world, and it is likely they will do so for many years to come.

* DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS For a change this week I will catch up on all the mail that has been coming in lately. Sorry to have been so long in answering it. David Malacari tells me he will be going to Dunsborough at Easter and will most probably do a bit of fishing while he is there. Hope you have some luck David! His sister Maureen has been worried about her change of address. Your last letter must have gone astray, Maureen, but I will certainly alter it for you this time. Also heard recently from Kathleen Bavich. Hope you had a good time on your birthday, Kathleen. Did you get some nice presents? Hello to Patricia and Barbara Bennet of Albany. How is the garden coming on girls? Those carrots should be getting pretty big by now. Am glad to hear you managed to get your swimming certificate, Patricia. Space seems to have run out already, so I will have to answer the remaining letters later. God bless you all, BROTHER JUNIPER.

THE HEART OF INDM
AFTER SPENDING a month in southern India our introduction to the north at Agra was a jarring one. Agra, well known to the tourist as the city boasting the Taj Mahal ( mausoleum of Mamtaz Mahal) and the Red Fort of Akbar is remembered by us for something more. European, the green wellcut lawns surrounding the monuments they come to visit, and the influence of the Muslem and Aryan cultures in the north of India. In the south tourists were scarce and the Muslem influence imperceptible. Green lawns, Europeans and non-Indian cultural influences were even more heavily evident at Delhi. 6 This city has seen the rise and fall over seven alien empires through her long history. The present twentieth century influences are most evident in Connaught Place the commercial hub of New Delhi. Prices are high, even by Western standards and beggars' ox-carts and lowercaste Indians are very ab3ent. It has been deliberately constructed to cater for the affluent, westernized Indian who can lose his identity in the half-dark of the luxurious restaurants and the tourists or European residents of the city. ARCHITECT'S DREAM The balanced architectural climax of New Delhi, a carefully planned dream of a French architect, Sir Edwin Luytens, is the Rajpatt leading to the Secretariat, the Parliamantary Buildings and the Presidential Palace. Along the Rajpatt on Republic Day (January 26) millions of people assemble to wonder at the glory of India passing in festive and pompous procession. The final quarter of New Delhi is the Diplomatic En,clave. Within an enormous area stretch the Embassies and High Commissions of every country from Luxembourg to Soviet Russia and States United of the America.
SIOCICIOCICICIMWOMICIM * ANTHONY GALLAGHER, in India under the sponsorship of the National Union of Australian Students, continues his account of his travels. NIMCMCWOCICIMMOCICNICN One of the largest and most imposing embassies is that of Pakistan; as India's closest neighbour and in constant competition to assert her rights, Pakistan's Embassy is a false show of strength when viewed against her disappointing economic progress. Within the Diplomatic Enclaves seethes a careful activity of influence, persuasion and intrigue which is interesting to speculate upon. People employed in the Government offices such as the Council of Economic Research will tell you that things are happening in a big way in Delhi. Looking at the enormous number of enormous buildings just erected or being constructed prompts one to think so. The comprehensive reports by experts on the Fiye Year Plans undoubtedly point to paper progress.
OLD AND NEW New Delhi contrasts with Old Delhi and the rest of India. The Jama Masjio or Muslim Mosque floats across and above the rooftops of Old Delhi and holds it in awe. The mosque is the largest in India and over one hundred years old. Around it stretches a culture and a people fretting out a living in small and winding streets one hundred years behind the progress of Connaught Place. Ox carts, bicycles„ goats, cows and milling throngs of people make the streets of Old Delhi practically impassable. The best place to see this contrast is at Old Delhi Railway station. Thousands of ragged and poor wait patiently for days for train
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. 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:
I. 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).
tickets and trains in the Third Class Waiting Room area. Mixing with them are mangy dogs, vendors of all kinds of fly-covered foods and beggars. There is a continual and urgent movement of persons to and fro through the gates leading to the platforms. Amidst this dust and rush and variety of humanity I wondered about the cleanliness of New Delhi.
A BIG GAP So the politicians really understand? The tremendous gap existing between the simple farmer growing rice in remote Kerala and the fast cars carrying suitclad politicians seems insurmountable. The task is indeed a difficult one.
The advance technically is simple enough. Capital equipment can be brought in from Germany or Britain and started in operation; in industry the machines do the work and the quality of the machine is the quality of efficiency man's part is quite small. Agricultural progress, however, involves primarily a change in human habits. Boosting the agricultural sector then needs not only an economic and political acumen but also a socialogists' patient analysis , and a psychologists' human understanding. One wonders whether the mighty administrative block centred in Delhi can ever achieve this. With a population of 460 million to deal with it is a staggering task.
Youth Groups Lead The Way COPENHAGEN: History has indcated that the road most taken by religious minority groups in a nation with an established church has been one of discreet and respectful silence on public issues. In Denmark, however, Catholic youth organisations do not ascribe to that theory.
Three youth organisations here—the Danish Catholic Youth, the Young Catholic Students and the Young Christian Workers—have set about to correct that situation. The statements they have issued and the meetings they have sponsored have been given wide publicity by Danish newspapers.
Lutheranism is the established religion in Denmark, and there are only 26,000 Catholics in a total population of 4.5 million. While there is no great antagonism toward the Catholic Church, neither is there widespread knowledge of the Church's position on public issues.
INFORMATION OFFICE In recent months, the Danish press took note of a Y.C.W. statement regarding the Church-state situation in Spain. Several youth groups started this year to lend assistance to students in underdeveloped nations of Asia and Africa. Others are planning an information office which would supply the secular press with news of Catholic activities around the world.
Exception For Hospital
Rome's newest and most modern hospital boasts among its many luxuries a staff of 16 Medical Missionaries of Mary from Ireland, Scotland and the United States. The Medical Missionaries of Mary as a rule do not staff hospitals in non-missionary countries. But they have made an exception in the case of the Clinica Moscati in Rome because by staffing it they can also train others to work in missionary fields. The hospital was built by a private investment corporation, the societa Immobiliare, which owns an enormous expanse of land on the outskirts of Rome. The Sisters, whose motherhouse is at Drogheda, Ireland, accepted responsibility for supervising all nursing services in exchange for the right to build an international training school adjacent to the hospital.
girls from mission countries in Asia and Africa training in nursing and other technical branches of medicine which they can take back to their own countries later. Thus part of the nursing staff of the hospital will come from all parts of the world. The 1,000-bed hospital of the Catholic University of Milan, together with its schools and educational facilities, is located only about 200 feet from the
Moscati clinic. The nuiversity's hospital is now only partly functioning but will be in full operation by the end of the year. Since the hospital has been opened to offer both healing and preventive medicine to the city, nurses who train there under the direction of the Sisters will have been provided with an advanced education that they could not find in their own country.

wards Catholicism by the Eastern Orthodox Church, and a parallel increase in participation by the Orthodox in the work of the Protestant World Council of Churches. The Anglican prelate said he thought his church and the Catholic Church could co-operate further in "positive Christian action" while remaining as they are, but that ultimate unity would involve dogmatic changes on both sides.
An example of the effect of the Catholic youth groups in Denmark could be seen during February's youth conference on disarmament held at the parliament building here and attended by Foreign Minister Per Haekkerup. A spokesman for the Danish Catholic Youth, a Mr. Tiedemann, said at the conference that disarmament cannot be achieved until nationalism disappears, and that nationalism will not disappear until security is provided by some international organisation. During his talk, Tiedemann called attention to the appeal by Pope Paul VI in Bombay, India, last December when the Pope urged nations to place their expenditures for armaments at the service of the world's poor and sick. WIDELY FEATURED The Pope's Bombay appeal had not previously been publicised in Denmark. Danish newspapers featured it widely, and Foreign Minister Haekkerup praised it at the conference. Official recognition of the work of Catholic youth groups was given here by Archbishop Bruno Heim, apostolic delegate to Scandinavia, who celebrated Mass in St. Augustin church marking International Pax Romana Day. Many Danish youths, both Catholic and non-Catholic, attended the Mass.

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
By THE REV. DR. RUMBLE, M.S.C.
Guidance By The Holy Spirit "Inquirer," North Sydney: Q.: You say the Church is our primary guide in religious matters. That I cannot accept. The Spirit of God is the primary guide both of the individual and of the Church. R.: If the same Spirit of God were guiding both the individual and the Church to which he belonged since the Holy Spirit does not contradict Himself there would be no conflict between the beliefs professed by the individual and the doctrines taught by His Church. Yet you say you have left the particular Protestant Church to which you belonged because it refused to accept the religious ideas you claim to have been divinely-revealed to yourself. Faced with a conflict, you have preferred to consider yourself to be guided by the Holy Spirit, and not your Church; rather than retain your faith in your Church and believe yourself to be mistaken. It may be, of course that the Holy Spirit is responsible for the guidance neither of you individually nor of your church collectively. With that I am not called upon to deal here. It is enough to point out for the moment that the Holy Spirit could not have been guiding both you and your Church In such very different and conflicting directions. That, surely, is a mere matter Of logic. GIVEN THROUGH THE CHURCH Q.: God is still God and still the guide. He is not guided by the Church, as Satan would have us believe; nor am I guided by the Church. R.: No Catholic believes that God is guided by the Church. But when you say that God is still God and

still the guide, you overlook the fact that God Himself has chosen to guide both the Church, and us through the Church. As Heb. 1:1 tells us, God, who in times past spoke through the prophets, has in these days spoken to us by His Son. That Divine Son, in turn, established and authorised the Catholic Church to continue His work under the protection of the Holy Spirit teaching all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 28: 19-20). One cannot rightly claim to be guided by God who rejects the very means appointed by God for our guidance in His name and with His authority. A RELIGION OF AUTHORITY Q.: The Church exists to guide non-Christians into tne way of life which accepts the Spirit of God; but once one does that, he will discard the guidance of the Church for the Spirit. R.: Nowhere in the New Testament is there any sug-
gestion that one may discard the guidance of the Church. It was, not for nonChristians, but for those already Christians, that St. Paul wrote to Timothy that the Church "is the pillar and ground of truth" (1 Tim. 3:15). Addressing the Bishops of the Church, St. Paul said: "Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you Bishops to rule the Church of God" (Acts 20:28); while to members of the Church he wrote: "Obey your prelates and be subject to them, for they watch as being to render an account of your souls" (Heb. 13:17). It may be that, never having been a Catholic, you have never adverted to the force of these admonitions of Holy Scripture; but Catholics are quite familiar with them and know that any ideas of their which are opposed to the authoritative teachings of the Catholic Church as "the pillar and ground of truth" are due, not to God's guidance, but to a mistake on their own part; and they are not so foolish as to imagine that their own ideas are more likely to be right than those of the Catholic Church herself.
The "Christian Science" Trinity L.C.F., Bellevue Hill: Q.: As a Christian Scientist, I was taught to believe in one infinite God; but also to believe in His Son, one Christ, and the Holy Ghost the Comforter. How can you call that a denial of Christian doctrine of the Trinity? R.: Because the Christian doctrine of the Trinity requires us to believe in three Divine Persons who are all equally one and the same God in virtue of their equally possessing one and the same Being and Nature. Mrs. Eddy, the foundress of Christian Science, to whose teachings all Christian Scientists have to subscribe, denied that doctrine. On page 256 of her book, "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures." she wrote: "The theory of Three Persons in one God (that is, a personal Trinity or triunity) suggests Polytheism rather than the one everpresent I AM." On page 517 she wrote: "If God is personal, there is but one Person." On page 332 she had written of "God, the Father-Mother; Christ, the spiritual idea of sonship; divine science, the Holy Comforter." So her so-called "Trinity" is a God who is masculine and feminine in gender, an idea only • of sonship in general, and her own "Christian Science" which she regularly "divine called science." Such notions cannot be reconciled with belief in the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. NOT THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE 9.: Wherein lies the difference? R.: There is all the difference in the world. What we have to realise is that the God of Abraham and of
Moses has revealed more information about Himself in the New Testament than in the Old Testament, namely, that in His own inner Nature there are three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. These three Divine Persons so equally possess the jecting such basic and esone and the same God. The doctrine is strictly monotheistic, and in no way implies polytheism. There is but one God, and the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity in no way implies polytheism. So Our Lord, when commissioning the apostles to go and teach all nations, commanded them to baptise in the one name (not "names") of "the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost." Matt. 28:19. Because she denied this, Mrs. Eddy had also to deny the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation. There being no Second Person of any Holy Trinity, that Second Person could not have been born into this world of the Virgin Mary as Jesus Christ; and the child born of her was a human child only, not true God and true man. As she put it, it was the merely human child Jesus only who was born of Mary not the "Christ." The "Christ" was but an "idea" —the idea of sonship of God preached by Jesus. That bears no real resemblance to the Christian doctrines of the Holy Trinity and of the divinity of Christ. Neither she nor her followers have really understood those Christian doctrines. If they did, they would not still profess to be "Christians" while reecting such basic and essential Christian teachings.
