Three years later it, and wiser in retrospect, it Life in a religious order is a public charism but can be seen that the CCJP statement failed because it was too late for the last crisis and too life in the secular institute of the Missionaries of early for the present.

lisher without paying for a copying licence. The licence, which cost $100 annually, gave a parish the right to copy all of the company's 1,400 songs for one year. The archdiocese argued that such an arrangement was a misuse of the company's copyright privileges because it forces a parish to pay $100 every year even if it only wants to include one F.E.L. song in its parish hymnal. The licence fee is intended to provide royalties for the composers of church music. F.E.L. is seeking damages of over $1.5 million. The Supreme Court's decision means the case will be returned to the lower courts for further proceedings and possible determination of damages to be paid. A similar F.E.L. suit for $8.6 million filed against the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the U.S. Catholic Conference was settled out of court in 1980 without any admission of liability.

BRESCIA: Pope Paul VI was "a great pontiff, my unforgettable predecessor, who intensely loved the Church, but loved, respected, exalted and defended man with no less sincerity," Pope John Paul said, on a visit to the late pope's home town.

Pope John Paul described Pope Paul as "the man who knew how to keep the boat of St Peter on the right course, with a solid and firm hand, in the midst of the waves and billows" which marked his 15 years as pope. Pope John Paul, during his 32nd trip within Italy since his October, 1978, election to the papacy, also joined Italian Prime Minister Giovanni Spadolini in silent prayer before a monument to seven Brescian victims of a 1974 bombing. The purpose of the visit, and the theme of most of the nine papal addresses of the day, was to honour Pope Paul, who he later called "a great pope who fought hard against war and defended men whose fundamental rights were exploited and humiliated."

Appeal for Rosary VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II has made a strong appeal for devotion to the Rosary as a support for living the Christian life when he spoke of about 20,000 pilgrims in St Peter's Square the day before the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.

SAD Loss AT AGE 10

Tony was only ten years old when his mother, Mary Angela (nee Tynan) died on February 9, 1946, at the early age of 36. She was the daughter of Andrew and Angela Tynan, of Brisbane where she had married Dr Daniel Quinlan 12 years before her death.

his biggest project.

FOLLOWING IN THE FAMILY TRADITION

On her death, a newspaper wrote, "She made very many friends for she was endowed with a keen intellect and sound judgment, to which were added beauty and sweetness of disposition." Her brother, then Father Andrew G. Tynan, of Brisbane, was Bishop of Rockhampton from 1946 until his death in London in 1960. Tony's father, the late Dr Daniel Alfonsus Quinlan, FRCOG, was one of Perth's leading gynaecologists. Like his father, Timothy Francis, he was greatly respected and loved for his unostentatious charitable and Christian attitude to all. Danny, as he was affectionately known, attended Trinity College, Dublin, as did four of his brothers after being educated at Christian Brothers College, St George's Terrace. He graduated in 1926 obtaining the

LM (Rotunda) BAO degree.

Returning to Australia he took up practice but went abroad again for post graduate study. In 1930 he obtained the MRCOG degree in London. He was an outstanding athlete representing the college in rowing, high jump, hurdles and boxing. In 1957 Dr Quinlan accepted the position of honorary consultant obstetrician at King Edward Memorial Hospital and a year later the board of management of the Royal Perth Hospital invited him to accept an appointment as honorary consultant gynaecologist. For many years he was a member of the St Vincent de Paul society. Dr. Quinlan was involved with marriage guidance and was a founder of the Guild of St Luke, a guiding council for Cahtolic doctors which applied Catholic ethics to the practice of medicine in such issues as abortion, contraception and other family issues. In the Quinlan tradition, he was a cornmittee member of the WA Turf Club and bred and trained his own horses.

When Tony Quinlan B.E., M.I.C.E., M I.E. Aust., was instituted an acolyte and when he completed the Mt Henry traffic bridge recently, he was following the Quinlan family tradition of service to their Church and country.

TRAGEDY HIGHLIGHTED CHRISTIAN SPIRIT

Tragedy beset the first of the Quinlans to arrive in Western Australia in 1863 — a tragedy which, as is the case in many adversities, highlighted the Christian spirit of those who helped. Quite unwittingly they were instruments in establishing a family who have contributed more than most to the welfare of the state. its people and the Church.

Michael Quinlan a blacksmith, was 23 years old when he arrived with a group who settled on a few small farms at Newcastle, later named Toodyay. Born in Borrisokane, Country Tipperary, he was accompanied by his wife Maria, and two-year-old son Timothy Francis. Soon after arrival a daughter, Mary, was born. In 1865 Michael Quinlan joined an expedition led by the Government Resident, Robert J. Sholl, to Camden Harbour in the far North-West. On one of a number of short exploratory trips from Camden Harbour, Sholl and a party of five others including Quinlan called at Port George the Fourth where they were accosted by natives on September 5, 1865. Two of the party were speared and in their attempt to escape the boat was swamped and sank, drowning Quinlan. Only four, including Sholl and his son struggled back to Camden Harbour. Among Quinlan's effects were five pounds of soap, a revolver and a Catholic prayer book, The Garden of the Soul. News of the tragedy did not reach Perth until October. In the meantime, on June 13, Maria Quinlan had died soon after the birth of twins both of whom later died. Timothy Francis, then four and his two-year-old sister were placed in the care of a soldier settler, David Gaily and the Colonial Treasurer ordered that £6 a month be paid to Gaily until their father could be contacted. But this was never to be. A year later all funds from the Quinlan estate had been expended and moves were afoot to place the children in the Poor House. At this stage Father Matthew Gibney (later Bishop Gibney) intervened. He took Joseph Reilly to Newcastle by gig supposedly on a sick, call. The story is well told in Lucille QuinIan's (no relation of Timothy) book, Undaunted Spirit which is a biography of J.T. Reilly, the first editor of The Record. She writes: They returned bringing with them the two children, whom they were supposed to hand over to the Goderich Street 'Home'. But somewhere along the journey back — perhaps when the little girl had fallen asleep in his arms — Reilly said to the priest: 'I don't think I'll take them to the Poor House. I'll take them home.' Father Gibney no doubt was expecting him to say something of the kind. Hearing this story in our own childhood, we used to picture them as the stately prelate and the fastidious old gentleman in white whiskers and

By Father John 1 Castelot

HE COLOURFUL exploits of the Old Testament judges — liberators or saviours —captured the popular fancy of the Israelites. Their deeds of derring-do were perpetuated in the traditions of the people. Most of those traditions were handed down orally from generation to generation for quite a while. But it seems some were put into written form at a very early date.

The beginning of the stories of the out to the Lord, he raised up for judges in Chapter 3 of the Old Tes- them a saviour, Othniel . . . who tament Book of Judges illustrates rescued them. the spirit of the Lord that thesis quite clearly. "Because camelupon him, and he judged the Israelites had offended the Lord by forgetting the Lord, their Othniel then went out to war for God, and serving the Baals and the the Israelites and the Lord deliAsherahs, the anger of the Lord vered the King of Aram into his power.

Later, when the Israelites "cried from the mess into which they have gotten themselves. This has been catchily described as the cycle of Call-Fall-Recall. The next story begins: "Again the Israelites offend the Lord, who because of this offence strengthened Eglon, King of Moab, against Israel." This time, however, when the Israelites cried out to the Lord, he raised up for them a left-handed saviour, the Benjaminite Ehud.

At special meals place it on the table. Pour a drink into it. As each person thanks God for a particular blessing, he or she sips from the cup and passes it to the next member of the family to share. Pray, too, that God will continue to bless your family. Questions: Why did Isaac decide to give his favourite son a blessing?

very heavy, he departed, only to return with news that he had a private message for the king. Interested, Eglon dismissed his servants, leaving him alone with Ehud. Ehud announced that he had a message for him from no less a personage than God. This got Eglon off his chair and close to Ehud. After all, a message from God doesn't arrive every day! And Eglon felt quite secure, For Ehud's right hand, the normal hand for wielding a weapon, was innocently empty. Had he known his messenger was left-handed, he might have had second thoughts. "And then Ehud with his left hand drew the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into Eglon's belly. "The hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade because he did not withdraw the dagger from his belly." This gruesome narrative reflects the atmosphere of the period of the judges, a violent period, and the telling of the story in such gory detail bespeaks the mentality of the time.

Two favourites for Sunday Two all-time screen favourites make up Sunday afternoon viewing on Channel Nine this week.

I A va Gardner is Sarah in the Dino De Laurentis epic of The Bible, Channel Nine's Sunday mid-afternoon movie at 1.50pm.

The immortal classic, The Wizard of Oz, graces the screen once again, at noon. Starring Judy Garland, Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger, and Jack Haley, this 1939 fairytale has remained a favourite, gaining in popularity over the years. At 1.50pm, Channel Nine presents The Bible, the Hollywood epic dramatising the first 22 chapters of Genesis. George C. Scott, Franco Nero, Ava Gardner, Peter O'Toole, and Richard Harris being this masterpiece to the screen in one of the most elaborate productions based on the bible. Some of the highlights of the story include the opening vignette in the Garden of Eden which features some beautiful cinematography in the setting of the story of creation, and the Noah's Ark sequence which gives viewers an awesome recreation of the flood. The story of Abraham and Sarah (George C. Scott and Ava Gardner) is superbly acted and comes closest to the intimate human drama in this spectacular film of enormous proportions.

Local documentary now available on video

Channel Nine promotions secretary, Vivienne Tritton, helps award-winning producer, Guy Baskin, package the video cassettes of his first documentary special, The Wonder of Western Australia, which is available through Star Video outlets. A cassette of the second special of the same name will soon be available. Guy is now working on filming more wonders of W A for a third special which is intended to go to air on Channel Nine early next year and programme manager, Mr Len Downs, said the station intends to repeat all three specials later next year. Close to 200 viewers took the time to call Channel Nine to congratulate the station on the programme. One viewer called for details in order to get a group together and tour the Kimberleys for 12 months and see the places Guy captured on film in his two specials. Another thought the special would do well as an overseas promotional film for Western Australia.

(St Teresa of Avila (PRAYER THE TURNING POINT •T

assurance of salvation. The Quietists also felt sure they had arrived. The peace and quiet they enjoyed was false. It was a dangerous period to write anything. Some Grand Inquisitor might descend upon you! Teresa's "Life" was confiscated. Her nuns would not be frightened. They asked her to write a treatise on prayer, just for them. In her second book, the Way of Perfection, Teresa speaks intimately with her daughters. Here she reveals her flint-like qualities. "I want you to be strong men. If you do all I tell you, the Lord will make you so strong that men themselves will wonder at you."

This year is the 400th anniversary of the death of the great Carmelite, St Teresa, of Avila. In this series of articles Morley Carmelite priest, Father Francis Moylan, OCD, looks at the life of Teresa. Last week she interrupted the story to give us a treatise on prayer.

"Knowing God" in this way will engender love and generosity. Some people feel the need to use words when they pray. They think that when they close their lips, they close their minds. Teresa assures them that by slowly repeating vocal prayers, they can be raised by God to the highest contemplation. She gives a commentary on the "Our Father." "This marvellous prayer," she says, "contains within itself the whole spiritual path, from the prayer of beginners to the moment when we are wholly absorbed in God."

* Mental prayer consists of meditat* ing on "the love of God made visible • * in Christ Jesus". (Rom. 8:39) Its end * *„ * result is that we come to know and apostolic journeys.

SCHOLARSHIP IN WALES

Tania Pontel (right) of Year 11, La Salle College, Viveash, this week flew out to Wales to the United World College of the Atlantic as the state representative for the next two years.

The United World Colleges (Australia) Trust awards the two year scholarship to enable outstanding Australian secondary students to obtain an international

background and under standing. At the conclusion of their studies, the scholars take the Advanced Level International Baccalaureate examination which is recognised by Australian tertiary institutions. Tania joins a fellow Western Australian from Lynwood senior high school who commenced her term at the Atlantic College in 1980.

Tania has upheld a family tradition while at La Salle and has successfully gained junior and senior scholarships and also been a notable group leader and team member. Her success in the 1981 Mary Durack Award for Young Writers is another indication of the range of her talents. While overseas Tania hopes to contact famiy members in England as well as Italy and will return to Perth in 1984.
