But,withakeennessthatsteepedhis soulinsorrow,theFlowerofOxford realisedthataone-timeMerryEnglandwasfastbecomingalandofwoe. fortherewerethosewhowouldmake CatholicEnglandCatholicnomore.

WiththeBullofDepositionlevelled againstElizabethbytheHolySeein 1571,therealmwaschurnedintoa fermentof"fears,suspicions,arrestings,condemnations,executions."Poperybecamesynonymouswithtreason, andtheChurchthepreyofpersecution.Foratime,whichtohislasting'sorrow,wasalltoolong,Campion

allowedhimselftobeswayedbythe tideofevents.Butallthewhilethe patientMasterwastuggingvehementlyathisheart,andatlength,withthe executionofthatvaliantsoul,Dr. Storey,Campioncametoseeallthings inthecompellinglightoflove."He wasanimatedbythatblessedman's example,"saysParsons,"toanydangerandperilforthesamefaithfor whichthedoctordied."Campion nowstoodoutfortheconvictionsthat wereinhim,andtookupthecause thatwas'Christ's.Heimmediately soughta'havenofrefugeforhissoul intheEnglishseminaryatDouaiin Belgium.

Althoughhefoundherethepeace andsolaceforwhichhecraved,yet itdidnotaffordthefullerrenunciationwhichwouldpreparehimforthat tremendoussermonwhichwaseven nowtakingshapeinhismind.We learnthisfromaverytouchingincident.Shortlyafterhisarrivalatthe seminary,Campionpurchasedforhis ownperosnalperusalanexcellenteditionofSt.Thomas's"Summa,"whereiniscontainedaquotationfromGennadiusonthebaptismofblood.On themarginoveragainstthispassage waswritteninCampion'sownbold handtheonetellingword"Martyrdom."

Thehourofsacrificewasdrawing nighapace.Indeed,oneofhiscompanionsinreligion,thinkinghealreadybeheldCampionamongthe"Fair chivalryofWhiteHorsemen,whoride onwhitehorses wheretherivers ofParadiseflashand.flow,"naively wroteabovethedoorofhischamber thisbitofprophecy:"PaterEdmundusCampion,Martyr."

Theexpediencyofadoptingseparatefieldsofactivityimmediatelybecameevidenttothegallantapostolic trio.Accordingly,CampionandBrotherRalphtookleaveofFatherParsons,andsetoutfortheirportionof thevineyard.Theirmanneroflabour isverywelldescribedbyoneofCampion'sbiographers:"Thewandering Levitewithhisattendantgentleman wouldapproachatevening,andwith caution,thefriendlyroof,eitherofCatholicor,thoughProtestant,containingCatholics,andbereceivedatthe doorasstrangers,thenconductedto aninnerroomwhereallwhoseekthe priest'sministrationskneelandask forhisblessing.Thatnightallisgat readyandconfessionsareheard,instructionsgiven,reconciliationseffected;atdawnthereisMass,preaching, andHolyCommunion;andthetravel. lersdepartforthenexthouseholdstation."

Saturday,

DivorceisforCowardsand Slackers, PRIESTCOMMENDSANGLICAN PRELATE.

MonsignorCanonA.Jackman,D.D.. RectorofHolyRoodChurch,Watford, Herts,preachingonaSundayeveninglastmonth,madeallusiontothe widely-discussedstatementoftheAnglicanBishopofSt.Albansonthe questionofre-marriagefollowingdivorce.

MonsignorJackmansaidthatrecentlymuchhadbeensaidandprinted inregardtomarriageanddivorce,and thatallhonourwasduetoBishop Furse,who,althoughnotbelongingto theTrueFold,was,likesomanyof ourcountrymen,ingoodfaith,and who.inspiteofmanysneersandmuch misunderstanding,hadhadthecourage tomakeastandforthesanctityof themarriedstateandtobarfromhis churchesthosewhowouldmakea mockeryofthem,andofthemarriage Tow.

True,inanotherplace,OurLord saidorimpliedthatamanmightput awayhiswifeforadultery;butthat didnotempowerhimselftocommit adultery;thatwas,totakeanother wifewhilehislawfu:spousewasstill alive,thougherring.Stilllessdid itsethimfreetosatisfyhissexual instinctsasifhehadnotswornfaith "untildeathdouspart,"for"worse" aswellasfor"better."

ToaskaCatholicpriesthisopinion aboutdivorcewaslikeaskingapacifistaboutwar.Forhim,simply.it didnotexistasadebatableproposition.Divorcewasoutlawedbythe Churchonthegroundsofher DivineMaster'steachinginthefirst place,andagainbecauseallherdecreeswerebasedonthebestinterests ofhumanity.

Parenthoodwasthebasisofsociety, andthewelfareofchildrenwas,or shouldbe,theprimarydutyofusall. Withoutpropercareoftheyounggeneration,theentireworldwasdoomed toperdition.Confrontedwiththe prolbemofchildren'sup-bringing-that was,withthedirectionofthefuture structureofsociety-howtrivialand unimportantwerethegrievancesor personaldesiresofamarriedcouple! IntheeyesoftheChurchtheywere, beforeallelse,parents.

Divorcewasthedisruptionofparenthood,andthereforeadeadlymenacetosocietyatlarge.Itwasbaleful,notonlybecauseitdemoralised thefamily,butbecauseitdisorganised thecommunity.Itclosedthedoorto repentance.andencouragdlaxityof thoughtinthemostseriousmattersof life.

DisestablishmentProblems

LONDONERSDEBATENOVELQUESTION.

WhatwouldhappentotheKingof EnglandifDisestablishmentcame? Whocouldcrownhim,marryhim, buryhim?wasthepiquantquestion askedbyFatherP.Maldenduringa debateonthepositionoftheAnglican Church,intheCatholicCitizens'Parliament,Vauxhall,London,recently.

WouldtheKingbefreetojoinany otherreligion,andifso,whynotthe Catholic:eligion,orwouldhebeexpectedtoconformtothedisestablishmentmajority?

AfurtherpointraisedbyFather Maldenwaswhatwouldhappentothe HighsectionoftheChurch.Would theyconcentrateroundnewHigh ChurchBishops,obtainedmostprobablyfromtheColonies.andstand apartforatime,withasmallannual percentage"goingover"toCatholicity?

Thespeakeraddedthatwherethe AnglicanChurchanditssectionswere conecrnedhewouldnotbesurprised whateverhappened.

InpointingoutthatconversionsduringtheearlydaysoftheChurchtook placefromthekingsdownwards-not fromtheslavesupwards,FatherMaldensaidthattherealcauseofthe troublesintheMiddleAgesaroseover thequestionofwheretodrawtheline betweenPapalandRoyaljurisdiction.

Dealingwith"Continuity,"Father Maldendrewaparallelbetweenwhat reallyhappenedinthesixteenthcenturyandwhatwouldtakeplaceif-forexample-BishopBrown"went over"totheSalvationArmyandturna

SpiritualSeancesSinful

"HumanreasonprovesandRevelstionconfirmsthefactofsurvivalafter death;thereisnoneedtoseekdemonstrationofthefactthroughspiritual seances,"declarestheRev.J.P.Arendzen,D.D.,Ph.D.,notedpreacher, inacontributiontotheNailyNews symposiumon"SpiritualismonTrial."

DiscussingtheChurch'srefusalto allowCatholicstoassistatseances,Dr. Arendzensaysherteachingisbased ontheseconsiderations:

"Thepresentspiritualisticmovement ismerelytherecrudescenceofananci entevil.'Seekingtruthfromthe dead'iscondemnedintheBibleasone oftheabominationsofthepeopleof Canaan3,000yearsago.(Deut.XVIII, ii.)TheCatholicChurchhasfought theevilthroughoutherbi-millennial historyandwilldountiltheendof time.Notethat'seeking'ofthetruth fromthedeadisforbidden,butreceivingitwhenGoddeignstosendit isaduty."

Thecravingfbrspiritualisticmanifestation.saysDr.Arendzen,often findsitsrootinasecretdoubtofhumansurvival.SuchdoubtforaCatholicisbothirrationalandsinful,he says.Todispelsuchdoubtsrefuge shouldbetakeninprayerandmeditation.Headded:

"Itisobjectively,sinfulwillingly tobecomeamediumand,therefore,to makeuseofthemediumshipofothers. Amediumsurrendershisorherown individualityandrationality,and,in fact,hisorherwholebeing,tothe supposedcontrolofanunknownintelligentagency.Thisisanimmoral act.Itisagainstthesacrednessand inviolabilityofhumanpersonalityto renounceresponsibilityforcne'sown thoughts,wordsandactsandallow oneselftobeinvadedbyanalienunknowninfluence.Manisindividually responsibletoGodalone;heisnot permittedtobarterawaythisresponsibilitytosatisfyhiscuriosity."

edSt.Anne's,Vauxhall,intoa"barracks."Therewouldstillbecontinuityofthemachinery,butwitha different"drivingpower."

TheChurchwasnotestablishedby anyoneAct-butbyaseriesofhap penings,andinthecourseoftimeit becamepartandparceloftheBritish Constitution-andatthe"Reformation"thewholeorganisationwastransferredas"agoingconcern"tothe supremacy,spiritualandtemporal,of theKing,whodidnot"stopthemachine,"butlinkedits"cog-wheels"elsewhere.

Dealingwithendowments,Father MaldenshowedtheinaccuracyofassertingthattheAnglicanChurchwas called"established"becausetheState paidtheclergy-whichwasnotso.in fact.

AstheancientAnglo-Saxonkingdomswerethe'basisofdiocesandevelopment,sothemanorhouseswere thebeginningsofparochiallife,and thelordsofthemanorswereexpected tofindmaintenanceforthepriestwho servedthemanor.- Intimesuchsums wereaddedtobylegacies-onescarcelyeversawapre-"Reformation"will devoidofabequesttotheChurch, eitherincashorinland.Withthe "established"machinery,allsuchen dowmentsweretakenoverbyHenry VIII.,whopocketedthemainportion.
