OUR COVER
QUEEN OF IRELAND," a Christmas motif in the modern idiom reproduced from the original which hangs in St. Columba's presbytery, South Perth. For the second time, Monsigner J. T. McMahon has generously granted permission for the use of the painting which was dedicated to h:m by the artist, Richard King, of Dublin. Richard King has designed Irish airmail stamps and Christmas cards. He designed and made the stained glass windows in St. Columba's Church. South Perth. The locale of his conception is Connemara. in the west of Ireland. In the background is the blue range of the Twelve Pins Mountains. The face of the Queen of Ireland. as her cloak enfolds Connemara. Ireland and the w orld, is ineffably gentle as the face of a mother understanding uniquely the sufferings of her beloved. The integration of earth and heaven., of the human and divine, is expressed in Richard King's exquisite painting. That this orientation of life and of love grows greater with the Passing of the year is our sincere Christmas wish to all our readers.

Our Gift At Christmas By The Very Rev. John E. Baer San Diego, Calif.
N OTHER CHRISTMAS another celebration of the birth of our Lord. And, as so many times in the past, we come again in spirit to Bethlehem to the crib, to offer our worship to the Son of God made man. we . come in spirit — with the joy and festivity of the Christmas season about us. It is that time of year when carols and good cheer and greetings of "peace on earth to men of good will" are part of almost every breath we draw. We come, as we do to many homes and people at this time, to bring a gift. A gift for God made man. All of the Christmas gifts and greetings which we have given this season have required some effort, thought and selection. The more important the recipient, the greater the effort and selectivity require d. What was the want, the need — and how could we fulfil it? What was the exact item needed to convey the love and friendship for which the gift must stand, and could we secure the right thing? Thought; choice; ability to provide; these were the elements involved in our regular Christmas shopping. And now we come to bring another gift: a gift for God made man.

These giants come to the rescue of the afflicted, help damsels in distress, liberate the imprisoned and defend the cause of goodness. Some believe that little men come of flying saucers which transported them from another world to ours, saying: "Take me to your chief." The popularity of such programmes reveals our subconscious sense of human inadequacy, and also our need for a power beyond the human. Given this credulousness, why should we find it hard to believe that Christmas is the visitation of the Super-Man Who coins from a higher source of life, and

HILE there are great similarities between Superman and the coming of God to this earth by taking a human nature, there is a great difference—Christ. The Superman comes in power, God conies in weakness—the weakness of a Babe in a cradle Whose tiny hands cannot reach the huge heads of cattle. Modern mind is much more ready to accept a Superman who emits electrical power from his fingertips, than it is to accept a Super-Man, or God Who appears in the feebleness of an Infant. A second reason is that Superman makes no demands on us morally, requires no change of life, no reformation of morals, no self-discipline; he leaves our ego as he finds it.

They were looking for a king To slay their foes and lift them high; Thou cameth, a little Baby thing, That made a woman cry." The Superman works on the outside, the God-Man works on the inside. The Superman leaves hearts and souls as they are, the God-Man demands a revolution of spirit. The God-Man renovates man in his heart from the inside, in the following way—just suppose a plague infected the human race; tens of millions perish as one-third of Europe was wiped out by the Black Death in the Middle Ages. Suppose also a scientist who had already recovered from the plague developed a serum which would counteract that disease. He offered it as immunity to everyone in the world, but few ever availed themselves of it, because they did not like the pain of the injection.
Blessed Lord enters into the plague of misery, sin, bitterness, war, hate. He passes through it in Calvary, recovers in the Resurrection, and then offers His Divine power to all men. They shrink from it because it demands a kind of death to that which is low and base in us.. To change the figure, we know that our spiritual and moral anaemia can be cured by a blood transfusion, but we dread the momentary pain. Christmas, then, is not something that has happened; it is something that is happening. Christmas is the day when the God-Man says to every person in the world: "My Mother Mary gave Me a Human nature like unto your own in all things save sin. I have shown you how one can overcome the worst of the human situation and live in joy. But what I want to do is to take your human nature, as I took the human nature from Mary. I want to give you an infusion of light for your mind, a power for your will, and a joy for your heart. What does it profit Me if I am born in Bethlehem and am not reborn in your hearts? You will find that all who have given themselves to Me are at peace. They are full of joy, they are merry." That is why we who belong to Him, greet one another on this day with a "Merry Christmas."

CHRISTMAS
As I Was Saying.. by Edith McNamara
T
JEIE best thing about receiving a request to write on a certain subject is that one is sure of at least one reader.
And when that subject is art in the world t oday„ it is even more satisfying. Although most people may not be aware of it, they need art around them in some form. How often is it that one meets a person who says, "I know nothing about art," and then spends the next hour or so telling you everything he knows about the subject? All form is art. Even when I looked upon a toilet seat exhibited in an exhibition in Paris, I conceded that the shape itself was appealing. I am not saying with tongue in cheek; in the world of art today, almost everything can be called art. It doesn't really matter whether you go to the rubbish tip, or to the paint box for your materials, just as long as you find what you are looking for so as to express yourself. Personally,I still like to feel that an artist can handle a brush, and know exactly what paint will do.
MARZOTTO PRIZE This exhibition is held every two years. It presesnts a significant expression of contemporary art. It is concerned with artists whose work is bound up with the city of today, its images, its technology and its objects. Twenty artists from Europe and England are invited to exhibit with three to five works. The prize is worth five million lire, which is about two thousand English pounds. To be quite frank, the majority of works are from the younger generation, artists from the past, and quite recent past, would never have considered this work art. The comic strip is used, scrap metal, wood, toy dolls, packing cases, photography, in fact anything you can think of. Christ°, an artist from Bulgaria, exhibited the whole of a shop front. All he really had to do was to find or discover the shop front, paint it red, then deliver it to the Tate Gallery. He lives and works in Paris and New York. I am unable to say if his work is in demand, but to be invited to exhibit in this

prize, he must be considered one of the leading painters from his country. All the art in this exhibition was not in this "easy manner," in fact, most of it was powerful, thought-provoking and, with a thought for the future, frightening. There are thousands of ways of painting, and innumerable ways of expressing oneself, and we cannot run away from these works. Art lovers, of course, refuse to simply shrug their shoulders and must look deeper beyond the abstract surface.
ART MARKET Art investment as a means of making money is still frowned upon by many people, even by some people who have a vested interest in the buying and selling of art. Even experts are frightened to talk about art as an investment. Once, only the elite bought pictures, but now the circle is wider. For every picture sold for $20,000, there are probably a thousand sold for $200. There is plenty of opportunity in the great salerooms to buy under $200. If, in 1930, you had bought a small picture of Henry Moore for $60, it would now be worth $6,000. Not a bad profit. It is always possible, of course, to buy a painting one week, sell it the next, and make 100 per cent profit. This does not happen in Australia. The prices asked by some painters here is ridiculous. There are many top-line painters in Paris and Europe who would never have received half the money that a second-rate painter would receive here. The competition, of course, is greater, and I do believe an artist should have studied his craft well before he begins to think he is is worth more than he really is. After all, if you buy something for $200, you expect it to be worth something in the future.
TOP TWENTY OLD MASTERS Let's not kid ourselves that modern art is riding high in the world of art., because it's not. There are over two hundred and forty commercial art galleries in London. In Bond Street we have the famous galleries that sell small drawings, paintings and old master paintings, and these galleries are the foremost in the world. Since being home, I have read where at least three galleries in London, which only cater for the abstract buyer, have had to close their doors. There are certain paintings that never reach the market. Titian, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and others, but if they did, someone would have enough money to buy. From the 18th century to the impressionists would cost up to £750,000 sterling. Here you would find Bellini, Breugel, Cezanne, Van Dyck, Manet Renoir and others. Blake, Constable, Hogarth, Reynolds, Sisley and other contemporaries would be found in the £ 150,000 section. Then for £ 20,000 you could buy a Holman, Hunt, Rossetti, Monticelli and some lesserknown old masters.
TOP TWENTY NEW MASTERS Picasso (blue and pink period). Arp, Braque, Chagall are in the £ 200,000 section; with Klee. Kokoschka, Matisse, Miro, Modligliani, Moore, Pollock and others following behind. Some experts believe these prices are too high. In the £25,000 section., we have Bacon. Hepworth, Nolan, Pasmore and others. K. Armitage, Elizabeth Frink, Pierre Soulages are in the £ 10.000 range. And among the up and comings, in the 2,000 section, you will find Allen Jones, Bridget Riley, Derek Boshier, and other names that are well known in their own countries, but not abroad. Nolan is the only Australian name mentioned among the top numbers, but in a world where only very few reach the top, this is a great achievement. There is definitely an art boom in Britain at the moment, and I hope personally that it will continue for many years.

THERE'S no great mystery to all this, is this because where Christianity began — in the family circle of a of a humble Jewish couple. Through many years. Christmas has been above all else a family feast, and many customs that have accumulated — tree, music, wreaths, lights—are witnesses of other culture and other ages of this annual family-centred celebration.

Yet we tend to forget that Christmas brings Christ to every home that welcomes to Him, even though all homes are not warm and comfortable, enriched with holiday delicacies, continually active with the coming and going of visitors. There are homes where love alone supplies warmth, where a little food is luxury, where the absence of family members is keenly felt. It is important to remember these families, to speak of them to children who are taken up by the glitter of affluence. It may help them realise that it all started in a cave on a hillside on a cold windy night, with some animals and shepherds, not in a comfortable, suburban living room with lights and decorations. It is important that we remember to speak often of what Christmas says to the family, so that the holidays may truly be a time of family joy.
TIME FOR CHILDREN
C HRISTMAS above speaks, all else, of the C hi ld, and C hristmas very speaks easily to children. It tells them of the value of each and every person, and that's why Christ came, to show the love of a father for all His children. Christmas restores a balance in our life, it forces us to remember persons, to call them by name, to show signs of affection and joy. So we send Christmas cards, writing the names of relatives and friends, and remembering each one vividly. We buy gifts, attempting to match the gift to the individual. We display joy with the kiss, the handshake., the shared food and drink. We teach children to present gifts, and we hope they learn to be gracious and thankful in receiving. Christmas speaks too of family solidarity. Everyone tries to be "home for the holidays." Students are home from school, single people and the younger marrieds visit with parents, and many of our military personnel use a few days
leave to be at home. Somehow or other„ for a brief time at least, with a family is the place to be. Christmas speaks of little things, too, and that's why we attend to them so much. Decorations, exchanges of greetings, visits, these draw us together and lead us to a better understanding of the wonder and diversity of the whole human family and our relatedness to each other. Most of all, despite suffering, war, human weakness and selfishness, Christmas speaks of peace. It speaks of a peace that man almost passionately pursues, but never quite realises. In a way, this is the mystery of Christmas. We experience, in the midst of the confusion a certain unexplainable sense of peace. It may come at Christmas Mass, it may come after the gifts are unwrapped, it may come in the quiet of the evening, it may come as a prelude to sleep. Mysteriously it's there, reminding us that the possibility remains for mankind to live in peace. To realise that possibility„ to have to renew our faith in God's love for us, we need a restoration of confidence that the message of Christ is workable, we have to take the risk of involving ourselves with others—in a word, we have to gamble on love. Peace, however, is not merely a gift from heaven. It is a capacity that our Father gave us to live together in love, to work out truth and justice, to recognise as a participation in the life that we share with Him. Only in the perspective of God sending His Son, and His Son sharing our total human condition do we grasp a little of this Christmas mystery of which St. Paul wrote: "Then the kindness of God our Saviour dawned on us, His great love for man. He saved us . . . in accordance with His own merciful design, He saved us."

It meant total dedication to be the foster father of Jesus. It took a man of most unusual holiness and heroic nob ility to head the household and care for the needs of the Virgin and her Divine Child. The way St. Joseph filled this assignment makes him the most heroic man in history. His was a hidden role, a continuous day-to-day mission with only one ob jective in mind, to feed and clothe, house and protect Mary and Jesus. To have been chosen for such a role by heaven marks St. Joseph as

Once again at the Temple Joseph's poverty was made apparent. He could not afford the offering of a lamb; two turtle doves had to do. There must have been a great longing in the heart of St. Joseph to get back to Nazareth and to work so that he could begin to give Mary and the Child all the things they needed and to abide by the customs of their people.

By Patricia Young Vancouver, B.C. The birthplace of the true carol was Italy; the originator is said to have been St. Francis of Assisi. Although he never wrote a carol himself, his comrades carried out his ideas and many fragments of carols have been traced to the Italian monk-writer Jacopone From Italy they spread to Spain, France, Germany and England — the earliest English carol being published around 1410.
One of our earliest carols is "0 Come All Ye Faithful," translated from the Latin, "Adeste Fidelis." This is said to have been written by Bona Ventura, Bishop of Albano, who was born near Florence in the Tus cany district of Central Italy in 1221.

The value of the work of the many missionary priests, brothers and sisters who have given their lives to Uganda since these times is absolutely immeasurable, but an inkling can be gained if one notices the high esteem in which they are held by the people of the country, though the original work for which they come is well on the way to its completion. That is, the building of a Christian society with its own hierarchy, and the establishment of African orders of brothers and sisters. But there is still much to be done, and maybe it is even more difficult now in the middle of the century than it was at the beginning when the objectives were more clear cut. However, the Missionaries are not being left behind where progress is concerned, and appeared to me to be very much 'with it' in equipping themselves for the greater demands on their various skills.

We have 15 priests in the Pro. fecture but all are engaged in direct mission work. Only one is on full-time school work and even he has to look after part of the district in his spare time. An immense amount of work has been done though much remains to be done. There are already three Punjabi priests in India and one more, a Sikh convert, is to be ordained this year. There are eight Pun, jabi boys in the Seminary, and twelve Pun. jabi sisters in the local convent.

Activity Of Catechists In South Sudan A Sudanese priest who has fled to the Congo has succeeded in holding a general meeting of the catechists who are still working in spite of everything in certain zones of South Sudan. In spite of guerrilla war; catechetical activity is being pursued courageously and is well organised. A part of this territory is divided into 10 working sec. tors. In each there resides a catechist leader who checks and organises the work of the other catechists. A report, still incomplete, speaks of 148 catechists with as many chapels or prayer centres, 2005 baptisms administered and 986 catechumens. In the near future it is hoped that catechetical work will be resumed in other zones too. Father Cirillo.

In 1967 St. Patrick's seminary in the dio cese Mzuzu in North Malawi, received a record number of candidates. Of the 97 stu dents at the minor seminary, 50 are new corners, a good number of whom had never left their village. This influx is attributed to the campaign launched by Bishop J. L. Jobidon of Mzuzu and his missionaries. The Bishop went personally to all the parishes, preaching about the lack of priestly vocations, and stressing this point in all his meetings with priests and laity. He also stressed the importance of the selection oi candidates for the priesthood. The boys chosen should give complete satisfaction from the moral, religious and intellectual point of view. For this purpose, every year, after having had the candidates sit for an examination, the rector of the seminary goes round the parishes and has a personal in. terview with the future seminarians.

Dear Boys & Girls This edition of "The Record" is the Christmas number. For the past few weeks I have told you of the many ways in which you can make this a happy Christmas for yourselves and for the ones that you love. This week I want to tell you something of the meaning of Christmas. Of course, when the big day arrives there will be much happiness handing around and receiving presents under the Christmas tree. The special Christmas dinner is a joyfilled occasion, and one that we share with our famil ies. You might even go to Midnight Mass and hear the beautiful Christmas carols being sung. One such carol, and I'm sure you all know this well, Silent Night, Holy Night, expresses best the quiet and serene aspect of Christmas that at times can be overshadowed by the fun you're having, and the excitement of the many festivities. Way back in 1818, a young assistant pastor in a little Bavarian village hurriedly wrote this carol especially to play on the church organ because it was broken and could not play any of the more lively ones. Today it is perhaps the loveliest of

all, and captures most truly the spirit of Christmas. On Christmas day, gather Your family and friends around you at Mass or even at home, and sing this wonderful carol. While you do think of the Baby Jesus lying snug in the arms of His mother, and you will feel the peace that He felt. And you will know then that you are very close to God, because only people that are, can be at peace in such an unpeaceful world. And so I hope you remember to thank God for giving us Christmas Day, and for giving us the chance to spread good will and cheer to others. A very Merry Christmas to all our members, and God bless you all, BROTHER JUNIPER. P.S. You will notice we have included a special WORD COMPETITION for you to do over Christmas. The competition is divided into two groups - Twelve and over; and Eleven and under. Prizes will be allotted to the neatest and best in both sections. Just fill in the missing words (using the clues provided) and forward your entry to Brother J uniper's Christmas Competition Record Newspaper, 450 Hay Street, Perth. The results wi ll be released a few weeks after Christmas.
