Inthefollowingarticle,theVery Rev.Dr.Downey,Vice-PresidentofSt. Joseph'sCollege,Upholland,dealswith theshallowrationalismcontainedin SirArthurKeith'sLudwigMondLecture,atManchesterUniversity,on "SomeImplicationsoftheDarwinian TheoryofMan'sOrigin."

SincetheChurchwillnotmakea newreligon,thescientistsarenow doingtheirbesttodestroyallreligion, andsomemodernChurchmenareto befoundaidingandabettingthemby demandingthattheteachingofthe Churchkeeppacewiththeadvanceof humanknowledge.

Dr.Downeydealstrenchantlywith scientistandChurchmanalike,and showshowancientisalltheirfancied modernity,iftheyonlyknewwhat theyweretalkingabout.Forthousands,however,whoreadintheir papetsSirArthur'sventuresoutside hisprovincetherewillbenoantidote. Wesuggesttoourreadersthatthey shouldbringthearticlestothenotice ofasmanynon-Catholicsastheycan.

OnMay9th,atManchesterUniversity(writesFatherDowney,inthe ''CatholicTimes"),SirArthurKeith, PresidentoftheBritishAssociation, deliveredtheLudwigMondLecture, takingashissubject"SomeImplicationsoftheDarwinianTheoryof Man'sOrigin";and,ifwearetojudge by-thenewspaperreportsofthelecture,thechiefimplicationwouldappeartobenothingverynovel,butthe oldstock-in-tradeofthematerialistas exhibitedbyLucretiusinthefirstcenturyBC"thesoulisbornwiththe body,itgrowsanddecayswiththe body,thereforeitperisheswiththe body."("DeRerumNatura,"lib.3, v.446.) Modernrationalismseemstobeparticularlybankruptinargumentsdrawn fromtherecentwonderfulachievementsofphysicalscience,sinceSir ArthurKeithmakeshisonslaughton man'simmortalitytotheaccompanimentofthestagethunderoftheold RomanEpicurean."Mindhasamaterialbasis."saysSirArthur:butLucretiushadsaidcenturiesago,and saiditinverse,"thenatureofthe mindmustbebodily"(loc.cit.,v. 170)

Clearlytheremustbesomething withinthemanremainingalwaysthe fame,anabidingprinciplewhichis notessentiallyboundupwithbrain, ormatterofanykind--thesoul,the self.

THEEUCHARISTICCONGRESS

WHATITMZANS.

AsthetimeoftheXXIXth.InternationalEucharisticCongressdraws near,thecitizensofSydneyofall creedsandperhapsthoseofuocreed arecuriousconcerningthenature,significanceandpurposeofthisreligious assembly.Tomany.ofourpeople, even,thetitleword"Eucharistic"is unaccustomedandmysterious.Thereforeitseemstimelytosetforth,by *styofsimpleexplanation,justwhat theEucharisticCongressis,andwhat itmeanstotheadherentsoftheCatholicfaith.

Theword_"Eucharist"in.theRoman, Greek,andAnglicanchurchesisthe namegiventotheSacramentofthe BodyandBloodofJesusChrist.It isappliedbothtotheactofthepriest inpronouncingoverthebreadand winethewordswhichChristspokeat theLastSupperandalsototheform ofbreadasitisretainedonthealtar tobeadoredorreceivedbytheCatholicasfood.Theactofconsecratingthebreadandwinewithits accompanyingprayersisgenerallycalledtheMass;theconsecraaedformof breadaskeptonthealtarforadorationisusuallytermedtheBlessedSacrament;theactofreceivingthislatter reverentlyasfoodiscommonlyreferredtoasHolyCommunion.Butall threearetheEucharistunderdifferent aspects.

TheName.

Thisnameisderivedfromtwo Greekwords;"en,"meaning"well"or "greatly,"and"chairs,""torejoice," henceitmaybeunderstoodas"the greatrejoicing,"asuitablemeaning. Butasthegivingofthanksisattendedby'interiorjoy,thewordacquired thesenseofthanksgiving.ThehistoricaloriginorthereligiousmeaningofthewordisfoundintheGavel ofSt.Luke(xxii.,19):"Andtaking bread,Hegavethanks...."Herethe wordusedforthelatterphraseinthe originalGreektextis"Eucharistesas," andso"Eucharist"cameintothelanguagetoindicatetheacttherenarratedofinstitutingtheSacramentof theBodyandBloodofJesusChrist, asalsotheSacramentitself.

TheCatholicbelieveswithunshakableconvictionthatthebreadand ,ineoverwhichthepriestuttersthe wordsofconsecrationbecome,without losingtheoutwardappearanceofbread andwine,theactualphysicalBody andBloodofJesusChrist;thatthey aretobeadoredandprayedtopreciselyasJesusChristisadoredand prayedtoontheGreatWhiteThrone inHeaven.

ItmayberecalledthatwhenKing GeorgeVvisitedRomeafewyears agohewasparticularlyinterestedto seeintheVaticanMuseumtheactual Bullbywhichthetitlewasgranted.
