years Paintings feature Salvado inTenplanning
Perth was reminded of its Benedictine New Norcia heritage last week when artist Lois Tilbrook put her New Norcia series of paintings on display at Allendale Square, under the sponsorship of the Benedictine cornmunity.
The new J F Moloney library which be used by the will CBC and St Mary's colleges on Franklin Street is the latest step in the integration of the two formerly separate schools.
Lois Tilbrook has her studio in Darlington and she has used oils, watercolours and tempera to depict significant aspects in the life of Bishop Salvado as he strove to build a community in the bush and integrate the lives of Aboriginal people into it.
"When I first read the Salvado Memoirs I was struck by the humanity of the man, and by his great strength and integrity of character." she said. "Salvado felt the full range of human emotions, he wept and laughed, was anxious, grew hungry, became upset, was curious, was touched emotionally and felt immense compassion for those with whom he came in contact. "Through all of this, the inspiration for his personal strength lay in his religious conviction. This bolstered his flagging spirits in times of disappointment and adversity, placed restrictions on his ambition and the methods he used in pursuing his goals, soothed him at times when he was faced with almost unbearable human sorrow and tragedy, and most of all gave him courage to carry on into the future. "While he was alive Salvado was a source of inspiration and drive to those who served with him, responding to the needs of the Aborigines and others of the surrounding district, and on his death left behind an enduring religious community. "More than this, his saga is an inextricable part of the history of Western Australia of the treatment of the Aborigines and the struggle for social justice for them, of the pioneering of the agricultural economy, and of the establishment of the Catholic Church in Western Australia," Lois Tilbrook said. "For these reasons Salvado appealed to me as a subject to be interpreted through the medium of my painting. I have tried to do this, and to bring about an understanding of Salvado the man guided and inspired by his religion, touched by the world he lived in of which he was very much a part — Salvado the gifted, the inquisitive, the loving, the fierce, the sorrowful and the fearful and above all, Salvado the compassionate." •• •

At the display of her New Norcia series in Perth, artist Lois Tilbrook is pictured in front of her oil The Three Ages of Salvado with Father David Barry OSB, of New Norcia.
Joint fund raising by both colleges P & F have raised $35,000 towards the new library, $20,000 being raised in a special fourmonth drive. The library had been in planning since the time of Brother O'Donohue in 1 972 and in the past 12 years the two schools' a ctivities have been merged. Years 11 and 12 have 180 boys and girls in mixed classes and next year manual arts will be extended to these classes, thus giving the girls access to the new manual arts centre. A single tuckshop now serves the secondary student enrolment of 600 which is able to use both schools' playgrounds as well as a small grassed field opposite.

tells much about the meaning of the morallife. In our series this week: NORBER TINE FATHER ALFRED McBRIDE gives a vivid account of how St Paul learned what freedom means. The apostle learned through personal experience that freedom means being in touch with God, the author of freedom. Father McBride is a religious educator at St Norbert's Abbey in De Pere, Wis. PATRICIA DAVIS writes a stirring account of freedom as she has learned ofit in a largely blackparishin Washington, DC. For her parish, freedom comes from leaning on the Lord" and involves serving the poor through some specific actions such as a soup kitchen and a housing service. She is on the staff on the U.S. bishops' Secretariat for the Laity. NEIL PARENT, representative for adult education with the U.S. Catholic Conference Department of Education, explores the many dimensions of freedom in his article. He notes that freedom is never absolute; accepting one freedom can mean giving up another freedom. FATHER JOHN CASTELOT writes this week about the prophet and judge, Samuel. God's spirit moved Samuel to help the Israelites forge a national unity out of their separate independent tribes.
rate their God-given freedom in the Passover celebration. In the New Testament, Jesus is described as the saviour-liberator. He comes to us proclaiming the good news of freedom from the bondages of sin and death. In becoming his disciples, we are enabled to overcome the shackles that prevent us from living lives worthy of God's children. And through his resurrection, Jesus demonstrated that even death will not prevail over us. Our faith in him shall deliver us from that final bondage too. Christian life is a continual process of choosing freedom, the kind of freedom that Jesus offers — which may not always be understood by the world. Paradoxically for the Christian, true freedom often comes in the form of letting go of other freedoms or being wil-

Christina gave up a crown for her faith
Queen Christina, of Sweden, was a very unhappy woman.
The daughter of Gustavus II Adolphus and Maria Eleonora, of Brandenburg, she became the queen.. elect in 1632 at the tender age of six upon the death of her father in battle.
A scene from Channel Seven's Sunday Theatre — The Abdication, on November 14 at 8.35pm.
New faces find great south land
Channel Nine's eight-part series, A Land Looking West, continues on Wednesday, at 7.35pm, with the European discovery of the western coast of Australia. The episode relives the tragedy of the wreck of the Batavia, a Dutch merchantman wrecked on the islands of the Abrolhus. It recalls the death of 125 passengers and crew as they fight hunger and thirst in the midst of a mutinous crew who plan to await the arrival of a rescue ship. The tragedy of this wreck, and the many others which followed, created a picture of the Great South Land (as Western Australia was known) as a place of death and destruction. It was pictured as a place of barrenness and sterility, a useless land which held no forests of spice or precious minerals and gems. The Dutch never claimed New Holland, even though they gave it their name ... But where the Dutch found a despicable landscape, William Dampier found it a land of fascination and excitement. The two voyages of Dampier told the world of this land of strangeness. But he also labelled the inhabitants with words which have been the basis for 300 years of persecution and prejudice. The experiences of the two ships, the Batavia under Pelsaert, and the Roebuck under Dampier, set the scene for the continuing saga of A Land Looking West.
