Asabasisforyourevening'sdiscourse,youselectedoneofthebeautifulPsalmsofDavid: ''Iwasgladwhentheysaiduntome: letusgointothehouseoftheLord.'

AndyoualmostimmediatelydistortedthisverybeautifulPsalmby injectingintoitawordthatwasnot thoughtofatthetimeitwaswritten, orforhundredsandhundredsofyears thereafter,bystatingthat'KingDavid lovedtoworshiphisGodinthe'Protestant'houseoftheLord."

Notcontentwiththis"stinger,"you followeditupbytellingyouraudience thatwhenMartinLutherwithdrew fromtheCatholicChurch,hesaid "Awaywithyourpriests.Weshallread theBible,andinterpretitforourselves."

Andagain:"Thatthe'Protestant' ChurchandtheflagstoodforDemocracy,LibertyandFreedom."

"IseeinthedestructionofFrance thegermoftwocenturiesofmassacre, thesanctionofthemosthateful Machiavellianprinciples,theirrevocablebrutalismofthehumanrace,and, whatwillastonishyoumore,adeadly woundtoreligion."

ThusspokeJosephdeMaistre,in 1794,atatimewhenpriests,religious menandwomen,diedinhundredson thescaffold,andwhentheJacobin GovernmentworkedfuriouslytodestroyChristianityandthepriesthood. Astoundingasitwasthen,thisremarkofthegreat,far-seeingCatholic wastrue;itisstillmoresoto-day.The exitofFrancefromtheranksofthe greatnationswouldbeaterribleblow toCatholicism,anditsdecrease,adecreaseoftheChurchitself.

Inhistwoarticlesinthe"Review oftheTwoWorlds,"M.GeorgeGoyau hasprovedthisbeyonddoubt.His thesisisofthesimplestkind.Hecasts abroadlookoverthepartthatFrance hasplayedinChristianity,fromits beginningtoourday.Dealinginparticularwithourowntime,heshows thepreponderatingpartthatthe Frenchsoulhashadinthereligious lifeofthewholeworld,andheconcludesthatitsruinwouldleaveinthe Catholicworldavoidoftheextentof whichneithertheothernationsnor Franceherselfhavetheleastsuspicion.

Itisriskytodealwiththephilosophyofhistory;itismoreriskyin elaboratelybrushed-uppictures,to accommodate,however,simply,certain factstopreconceivedandfalseideas, whilstforgetting,eitherthroughignoranceorprejudice,otherfactsmoreimportantandofquiteadifferentimport.Nothingofthiskindistobe fearedofahistoriansoprecise,so well-informed,andsomethodicalas M.Goyau.Authorofa"Chronologyof theRomanEmpire,"heisfamiliar, fromitsbeginnings,withtherulesof themostsevereerudition,and,inwritinghishistoryofreligiousGermany inthe19thCentury,whichwillremain oneofthehistoricmonumentsofour times,hehasprovedthathisgeneral remarksarefoundedonabasisas solidasitisextensive.Nonote,noreferenceappearsinthearticlesofthe "ReviewofTwoWorlds"(itisnotthe customofthisReview),hutitissufficienttoknowsuchandsuchofthe questiontreatedtheretorecogniseimmediatelythetextsandthedocuments hehasusedwithsoundcriticalfaculty. Wecan,then,followhim,withan entireconfidence,inthenarrativethat hegivesusoftheintimatecollaboration,downthroughtheagesofthe ChurchandFrance. Thiscollaboration,seventeentimes secular,hasbeenkeptuptothegreatestgoodoftheoneandtheother. Emphasishasbeenrightlylaidonthe benefitsthatFrancehasreceivedfrom Catholicism:theyare,infact,innumerable:theChurchhasbeentheprincipalagentofFrenchnationalunity, anditisshethathasgivenmorethan anyotheritsveryoutwardformto thenation,attheheadofcivilised peoples.ButFrance,onitsownside, haswellpaidbyitsservicesforthe benefitsshehasreceivedfromthe Church,anditisespeciallythroughher thatCatholicismhasshoneinthe world:and,soshehaswithjustice beengiventhe-title,"TheApostolic Nation,theEldestDaughterofthe Church." Amongstallthebarbarianpeoples whohavesharedinthespoilsofthe RomanEmpire,theFrankswerethe firsttoembraceCatholicOrthodoxy: theirsuccesssecuredthetriumphof thefaithofNiceoverArianism.The CarlovingianKingsatPoitiers,with theblowsofCharlesMartel,brokethe up-tothenunconquerablethrustof Islam,andsavedChristiancivilisationthatwasthreatenedwith beingsubmergedundertheMussulmanwaves.Andwhenthe Papacyrantheriskofgivingway underthetyrannyofthehereticalEmperorsofByzantiumorthebarbarian dominationoftheLombards,thesuccessorsofCharlesMartel,Pepinthe Short,andCharlemagne,bythefoundationoftheTemporalPower,secured, aswellascanbesecuredinthisworld, theindependenceoftheHolySee.

GuibertdeNogent. TheCrusaders,forseveralcenturies, broughttogether,forthedeliverance oftheHolySepulchreandtheconquestofPalestine,alltheChristian nations,butattheheadofthismovement-whichaFrenchmonk,Guibert deNogent,hascalledthe"Historyof God,WrittenbytheFranks"-"Gesta DeiperFrancos"-Franceisalways found,withitsnobilityandits peasants,takingthecrossatClermont, atthewordofaPicardian,Peterthe Hermit,andofaChampenoisPope, UrbanII.;withitsKingsLouisVII., Philip-Auguste,andthepiouscrusader ofDamiettaandofTunis,St.Louis; withitsmilitaryOrders,createdby theFrenchandplacedunderthe FrenchruleofCiteaux,theHospitallersandtheTemplars;withitsgreat preachers,suchasSt.Bernard,somuch sothat;inthekast,fromthe11thcenturytoourday,theword"Frank"and "Catholic"havebecomesynonymous. ItisstilltruetosaythattheFrench, withthespiritoftheCrusades,are morepreoccupiedwiththeprotection oftheHolyPlaces,fromFrancisI., whoobtainedtreatiesintheirfavour, uptotheRevolution,which,inspite ofreligiousexcesses,continued,as HenryIV.andLouisXIV.havedone, toprotecttheChristiansoftheEast.

Loyalhistorianasheis,M.Goyau doesnotsuppresstheshadowsofhis picture;hedoesnotconcealthebitternessthat,downthroughthecenturies,theChurchreceivedfromher EldestDaughter,France;therevolts ofmanykingsagainsttheHolySee, theaffrontofAnagni,thePragmatic Sanction,thearroganceofLouisXIV., theCivilConstitutionoftheClergy, themanifestationsofroyalorepiscopal Gallicanism.Theyweretobedeplored, buttheyneverledFrancetoschism ortoheresy,and,howeverviolentthey mayhavebeen,thesestrugglesremainedonlyfamilyquarrels.Eventhe Bishopswho,throughGallicanismor throughfear,adheredtotheCivil Constitutionclaimedthattheywere remainingCatholicandmaintaining theirunionwiththePope.Onthe otherhand,AnglicanismandGermanismpassedrapidlyfromtheiroppositiontotheRomanChurchtoschism andtoheresy. Governmentsarefar'fromabsorb: ingintothemselvesthemorallifeofa nation,andstilllessitsreligiouslife, ofwhichsomanymanifestationsescapethem.Thusitisnecessary,in ordertoassigntheplacethatthe Frenchnationhasoccupiedandalwaysocupiesinthesanctuaryofthe Church,tostudythemanifestationsof itspiety,itsChristianthought,andthe efflorescenceofitsapostolicandcharitableworks.ThismagnificentbalancesheetofFranceM.Goyauhasbrought forwardinthesecondpartofhis essay. TheFrenchspirithasgiventothe Churchasplendidarrayofdoctors whoseteachingshavefixeddogmaon morethanonepoint,refutederror,and shedCatholictruthovertheentire world:St.HilaryofPoitiers,who,with St.Athanasius,sharedthehonourof havingdenouncedandrefutedArianism;St.Bernard,whomGermanyand Franceveneratedinhisday,asan apostleandaprophet"(thuswrote theGermanchronicler,OthoofFreisingen)St.FrancisdeSales,themost powerfulmasterofthemysticallife; Gerson,"inhisdaythebrilliantlight oftheChurch"(asPopeBenedictXII. saidofhim);Bossuet,thesublime orator,theinterpreteraseloquent,as profoundofmysteries,andtheredoubtableadversaryofProtestantism. IsitnotFrance,too,thathasestablished,inunionwithHolySee,the UniversityofParis,which,according tothetestimonyofPopeGregoryIX., "afterhavingrefreshedwithitswaters thecityitself,bathedtheuniversal Church,"andwascalled,inthe14th century,thepermanentCouncilofthe Gaels.

TotheChurchFrancehasgiventhe artthathasbestexpressedtheHouse ofGod,Gothicartwhich,afterhaving recladFrancewithitswhiterobeof churches,uniqueintheworld,hasinspiredthereligiousmasterpiecesof othernations;theCathedralsofCanterburyinEngland,ofColognein Germany,ofMilaninItaly,ofLeon andof'BurgosinSpain,ofUpsalin Sweden,ofFamagousteinCyprus. Mostofthegreatreligioussoldiers whoarethestrengthoftheChurch, whethertheypractiseinthedepthof the.cloisterstheGospeloflifeinall itspurity,orwhether,throwninto

action,theyrepelheresy,propagate truth,andservetheHolySee,have beeneitherborninFranceorhave cometoseeinhertheirstrength.The reformoftheclergy,decreedbythe CouncilofTrent,hassucceeded,thanks toacertainnumberofCongregations essentiallyFrench-theSulpicians,the Lazarists,theOratorians.TheSociety ofJesusandtheOrderofPreachers havehadtheirfounderfromSpain,but itwasinFrancethattheywereborn -thefirstatMontmartre,thesecond inLanguedoc,atProuilleandatToulouse.

ApostolateoftheFrenchNation. The"ApostolicNation"hasbeenthe greatmissionaryoftheworld,from Merovingiantimes,whenSt.Victrice, BishopofRouen,andSt.Eloi,Bishop tfNoyon,evangelisedMorinia(Artois andFlanders)andtheLowCountries. TheMiddleAgessawitsreligiousset outforthedistantcountriesofTartary,Armenia,andChina,withthe protectionofSt.Louis,andthree Frenchmen,St.JohnofMatha,St. PeterNolasco,andSt.FelixofValois, foundedtheOrdersfortheredemptionofcaptives,thatwenttosnatch theChristiansfromtheprisonsofBarbary,whilsttryingtoconverttheir Mussulmangaolers.Thegreatmissions ofAmerica,ofMadagascar,oftheExtremeEast,havebeendirected,inthe 17thand18thcenturies,byFrench Congregations-theLazarists,the FathersoftheForeignMissions,or Frenchreligiousofinternational Orders,Jesuits,andCapuchins.

Inspiteoftheruinsaccumulatedby theRevolutionandthepersecution thathasoftenfallenontheChurchin the19thcentury,apostolateofFrench Catholicismhasbeen,forthelastcentury,morelivingandmorefruitful thanever,thankstothemissionsof theMaristsintheExtremeEast,of theHolyGhostFathers,and.ofthe WhiteFathersinAfrica,oftheJesuits inMadagascar,andtothewonderful workofthePropagationoftheFaith.

M.Goyauhasdonetheworkofa goodFrenchman,aswellasofahistorian,inreminding,bymeansofthis essay,theCatholicsofthewholeworld thatFrancehasinnowayforfeited theiresteem,andthatChristianlife circulatesinherveinssoabundantly thatitoverflowsto-day,asduringall thecenturiesofhistory,overthe wholeworld.HeremindsEnglishand IrishCatholics,whomayforgetthe fact,thatitwasamongsttheFrench thattheirancestorsinthefaithsought forrefugewhenpersecutedbyHenry VIII.andElizabeth,andthatitwas theemigrationofpriestsandlaymen, victimsoftheRevolution,thatgave theimpetustotheCatholicrenaissanceinGreatBritaininthe19th century.TotheCatholicsoftheUnited StateshesaysthatitwasfromSt. Sulpicethatthefirstfoundersoftheir churchescame.HebidsGermanCatholicsremembertheinfluencethatthe campaignsofMontalembertandFalbonshavehadonthebirthofthe CentreParty.

Finally,totheCatholicsofallnationswhoarestillunawareofit,he teachesthatitisinFrancethatarose, orweredeveloped.thedevotionsmost cleartotheCatholicheart-AllSouls' Day,foundedbythemonasteryof Cluny,andfromthere,extendedbythe HolySee,totheUniversalChurch; RogationDays.beguninthefifthcenturybytheBishopofVienne,St. Nlaniert;theFeastsoftheVisitations andtheAnnunciation,thedevotionof St.Joseph.ofwhichGersonwas,accordingtothetestimonyofBenedict XIV.,"thefirstandgreatestpromoter intheChurch."ThedevotiontoMary hashadinFrancesanctuariesuniver-

Anti-CatholicGarbage:SeditionandDisunion

Fromthe"CatholicPress."

Inthesecriticaltimes,whenboth FederalandStateGovernmentsare directingtheireffortstothevery praiseworthyobjectofsuppressing sedition,alittleattentionmayvery profitablybedirectedtoanincipient organisation,which,masquerading underthetitleof"TheLeagueof LoyaltytotheEmpire,"practises methodswhichcertainlyhavethe effectofcreatingdisunionanddissensionamongthesubjectsoftheEmpire.

FortheLeagueofLoyaltyisaNationalistbantling.ItsbirthwaspresidedatbythepresentMinisterfor Recruiting,assistedbysundrypolitical, quasimilitaryandclericalsatellites, whosenamesarenotworthmention. ing.ItsworkwasblessedatMittagong bytheStateChiefSecretary,Mr.G.W.

But,nevertheless,whenchallenged withactionclearlyoffensivetoa largesectionofhisconstituents,Mr. Fullershowedthattheleague,whatevermightbeallegedagainstit,had hisconfidenceandhisapprobation.

WewouldaskMr.Fuller,and throughhimhisPremier,Mr.Holman, ifitcanbeconsideredaworkofloyalty totheEmpiretospreadbroadcastthe lyingallegationthat"littlebylittlethe RomanHierarchyhaveplannedto turnProtestantsoutoftheGovernment.outofthecivilservice,outof thePostalservise.

Thepamphletgoesontoassert"that inthecivilserviceoftheState,Catholicsaremuchmorenumerousinsome departmentsthanthemembersof otherChurches,andinotherstheir numbersaresteadilygrowing."There isnotaStateorFederalMinisterwho doesnotknowthatassertiontobea thumpinglie,eventhoughitisspeciouslyworded.ForitconveystheinsinuationthatCatholicsareputinto theserviceforotherreasonsthan merit,andareusingtheinfluenceof theirfaithtopushthemselveson.

WewouldcalltheattentionofMr. HolmanandMr.Fullertothereport ofadeputationwhichwaitedonSir FrancisBell,Attorney-GeneralofNew Zealand,onJune4last.TheDominion GovernmenthadprohibitedthecirculationofleafletsissuedbytheProtestantPoliticalAssociation.Mostofthis matterwastakenfromthegutterpress oftheUnitedStates,whichwasalready prohibitedbytheCustomsDepartment.Mightwesayherethat10out ofthe14leafletswhichweobtainedin SydneyfromtheLeagueofLoyalty weretakenfromAmericanpapers, chieflyfromthe"Menace,"ajournal prohibitedinAmerica,and,webelieve, inAustralia,theeditorofwhichisin gaolforsedition.Thedeputationfrom the"Protestant"organisation(we apologisetodecentProtestants,but thatisitstitle)washeadedbythe "Rev."HowardElliott,amanwho washorsewhippedbyareturnedsoldierforanunwarrantableinsulttohis deadsister,andwhowascharacterised bythemagistratewhotriedandacquittedthesoldierforassaultas"an unmitigatedscoundrelandcad."Sir FrancisBellpracticallyrefusedtolis-

TheHon.A.M.Myers,Ministerof Customs,concurredwithhiscolleague, andadded: "Wherltheybroughtinliterature whichwasoffensivetoasectionofthe community,towhom,astothemselves, theGovernmentwaslookingtodo theirduty,theGovernmentconceived ittobeitsdutytotakeuptheattitudethathadbeendefined."

Afullreportofthedeputationappearsinthe"Dominion"ofJune7. WhatareMr.Holman,Mr.Fuller, andMr.Orchardgoingtodoaboutit? Mr.Holmanalreadyknowsfromthe Inspector-GeneralofPolicethatthe leafletwhichhedenouncedas"highly treasonableandseditious"isbeing circulated.Heisalreadyawarethat statementstothepoliceimplicateat leastoneofhisfollowersintheLegislativeAssembly.IftheCommonwealth andStateLawOfficersthinkthatthey canbluffthroughbyexpressinga hypocriticalregret,astheyhavedone, atthecirculationoftheseleaflets,but thattheycannottakeaction,theconductoftheNewZealandGovernment showsthemthewayofduty. ButNewZealandisnotalonein takingactionagainstthisseditious matter.OneofthesepamphletscontainstheassertionthattheCatholic ChurchisbehindGermanyinthewar. Formakingasomewhatsimilarstatement,Mr.F.C.Walcott,Assistant FoodControlleroftheUnitedStates, wascompelledtomakeapublic apology,whichhedidinthemost openandhonourablemanner.Itis thereforethedutyofMinisters,both CommonwealthandState,torepudiatepubliclytheoffensiveandlying leafletsdistributedbythisso-called LeagueofLoyalty,withwhichthey havealreadypubliclyidentifiedthemselves,andtoprohibitfurthercirculationofitspernicious"literature."If theyfailinthisobviousdutytheymust putupwiththeconsequences.

"ALivingVage"formsthetitleof achapterinProfessorWilliamSmart's "StudiesinEconomics."writtenin 1899.Initsopeningsentencesweare told:"Thelastfewweekshaveseen thebirthofanewandattractive catchword.Beforeithasevenbeen defined,itisalreadyputforwardas arguingaclaim. Theexpression 'livingwage'seemstogiveareason andabasisforacertainamountof wage.Ithas,accordingly,foundits wayintoeverydaylanguage,andwe mayexpectsoontoandthattheconceptionwhichitexpresseshastaken itsplaceamongtheconvictionsof many."

TheLivingWage.

Inallprobability,thesesentences describetheoriginofthephrase, "livingwage."Buttheideathatitexpressesgoesbackmuchfartherthan thesummerof1893.Becausetheidea issomucholderthantheexpression, ithas"takenitsplaceamongthecon-. victionsofmany"toafargreaterextentandwithmuchmorerapiditythan ProfessorSmartexpectedwhenhe wrotethewordsjustquoted.Because theexpressionneatlysetsforththe idea,itlikewisehasobtainedacurrencythattheprofessorneveranticipated.Boththeideaandtheexpressionowetheirvogueandtheirpopu- laritytothefactthattheyrepresent afundamentalprincipleofjustice.

Althoughtheideaofalivingwage goesbackatleasttotheearlyMiddle Ages,itreceiveditsfirstsystematic andauthoritativeexpressioninthe EncyclicalofPopeLeoXIII,"Onthe ConditionofLabour."ThiswaspublishedinMay,1891,somethingmore thanayearbeforethe"catchword" wasfirstheardinGreatBritain.In thatdocumentthegreatPontiffflatly rejectedthepen.ailingdoctrinethat wagesfixedby"freecontract"were alwaysfairandjust.Thistheory,he said,ignoresthefundamentalfactthat thelabourerismorallyboundtopreservehislife,andthathisonlymeans offulfillingthisdutyistobefoundin hiswages.Therefore,concludedPope Leo."aworkman'swagesoughttobe sufficienttomaintainhiminreasonableandfrugalcomfort."Thisproposi-tion.hedeclared,isa"dictateof naturaljustice."

AndintheScriptures,patriotism, bothasanemotionandasaduty,is taughtusbyGod.Thechosenpeople wereintenselypatriotic.Theyloved thewallsofSion.TowardstheTemple, whichwastheverycentreoftheir nationallife,theyeverliftedtheir eyes.Therewasadeeppassion,anintensityofdevotionintheexpression oftheirloyaltywhichtomodernears mayseemstrange.Theyboastedthat noGodwassoenartohisworshippers astheirGodwastothem.Theyprayed thatifevertheyshouldforgetJerusalemtheirrighthandshould loseitscunningandtheirtongue cleavetotheroofoftheir mouth.ThethoughtsofJonas evenwhenthesurgesofthesealifted uptheirvoicesoverhisheadturned totheholyTemple.TheMachabees standoutforalltimeastheembodimentofpatriotism.OurLordHimself rememberedthatHewasasonof Israel,andasHethoughtofthedoom soontooverwhelmtheHolyCity whichHesotenderlyloved,Hewept overthesorrowsofHispeople.Ina singlesentenceHesummedupHis wholeteachingwithregardstothe dutiesoftheChristianandthecitizen.

PopeandPeaceConference

ThevexedquestionofthePope's righttorepresentationatthenext PeaceConferencecanbeapproached fromdifferentpointsofview;forclearnesssakeIshallconfinemyselftomere principles.Whatisthebasisofthe Pope'slegalrighttoberepresentedat thePeaceConference?Intheirattempt tosolvethisquestion,someassume thatthisPapalrightcanonlybebased eitheronhisspiritualsovereigntyor onhistemporalsovereignty.Thereis, however,amiddleterm,acknowledgedbymany,viz.,hispersonalsovereignty, ofwhichhisspiritualpoweristhe causeandhistemporalpowerwasthe guarantee.(YvesdelaBriere:"Les LuttesPresestesdel'Eglise.") SpiritualSovereignty.

However,thespiritualsovereignty couldnotbeurgedwitheffectasa claim Europetorepresentation,because isnolongeraunitedChristen. domoverwhichtheHolyFathercould presideassuch.Manybelligerentgov- ernmentsarenon-Catholic,evenpagan, anddonotrecognisethespiritual claimsandjurisdictionofthePope.Nevertheless,asallacknowledgethe Popeasthehighestmoralauthority onearth,manyCatholicsurgethistitle notasarightofentrytotheConference,butasanindispensablecondition foritslastingsuccess.

(a)Thispersonalsovereigntyofthe Popeisasdistinctfromhisspiritual sovereigntyascauseisfromeffect.The spiritualprinciplefromwhichitsprings istheprimacyoftheRomanPontiff, requiringbydivinelawpersonalimmunityfrom211layjurisdictionwhatever.(Wernz:"Juslecretatalium.")Thisprinciple,ofcourse,isonlyaccept- edbyCatholics,buteverymanhasto faceitstremendoushistoricalandsocial consequences.Thankstothisprimacy, thePopeistheheadofthatuniqueinternationalChurchwhosedoctrinesand tenetsofhierarchialorganisationare suchthateverystatesmanmustlook uponthatChurchnotonlyasamere religiouspower,butalsoasapoliticosocialpowerineveryland;andithas alwaysbeentotheinterestsofgovern. mentsthattheheadofthismighty empireofconsciencesbeinnowaythe politicaldependentorcivilsubjectof anytemporalruler,sothateachgovernmentmayfreelytreatwithhimas

"Mayhewitherforit!"snarledthe King.

"Ah.thoseFrencharemadfortheir land,"continuedVonGrosse."This stupidGrosjeancriedthathewould ratherdieinbedifhecouldnotfight undertheliliesofFrance."
