Why Restitution in Sins Against Justice Must Precede Absolution

Advantages of Latin as the Liturgical Language -Oversimplifying the Causes and Effects of the Reformation "For 1 give you to understand, brethren, that the Gospel which was preached by me, is not according to maa. Fcr neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it: but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ... (Galatians, Ch. 1, Vs., 11-12.)

With these words the Apostle Paul, writing to the Galatians, stated his claim to preach Religion in God's name; to preach the Truths revealed

by God. That there is then a revealed Religion, there is such a thing as Divine Revelation, was explained in this session recently.

Also that such' a Revelation is morally necessary for mankind, because, although true it is that from the visible things of creation man could argue to a Creator-could and should, from the history of mankind we see how even the great minds of antiquity-outside the Christian Revelation-went astray even in these fundamental things. And from common experience we know that great numbers of men-even after Christian Revelation-are too preoccupied with material things, or too handicapped by the struggles of life to seek religious truth. What would be their chances of arriving even at those truths about God which are in themselves within the grasp of human intellect, without the aid of Divine Revelation.

Time, opportunity, freedom from care, would be lacking; ignorance, superstition, many other things would hinder them.

But even after Divine Revelation, completed in the teaching of Jesus Christ, these human difficulties still exist; great numbers of men still do not arrive at a true knowledge of religious truth, still less at a true appreciation of its value.

What then?

The truths of Divine Revelation must be preserved for mankind, they must be taught to men, and by a living voice. God has raised man to a supernatural state, and destined him to an immortal destiny.

To reach this destiny man has need of Divine Revelation, of religious truth brought home to him.

The Apostles, as Paul indicates, claimed to teach these Truths. Christ had commanded them to do so. They were members of His Church, foundation members, the members of the Church. As they claimed to preach God's Truth so does the Church. Such is its mission.

*

K. and A., North Perth: Q.: I believe from what I have been told that there is a practice of a sinner being persuaded that he has to give some material gift to your Church before he can gain absolution.

Please answer why this is, if

true.

A.: What you have been told is not correct, I think that, perhaps, you have got -a confused idea about restitution-in sins against justice. For example, if a man has defrauded another of a large sum of money and now repents of his sin, he is bound to give the money back. If he refuses to give it back, his sorrow is obviously insincere and he cannot be given absolution.

If a set of circumstances has arisen which makes it impossible to give the money back to its rightful owner, the penitent is not thereby free to keep it; he would still be keeping unlaiwfully something not his own; and the

obligation of restitution could be met by directing the money to a charitable purpose. Surely, apart altogether from confession, you have heard of conscience money.

Q.: I am told that the practice in your Church is to conduct services in the Latin tongue. Why is this?

A.: Correct. To clarify the issue we will leave aside any reference to various rites within the Church.

The point you raise is, that, for example, in a Catholic Church in Perth, the liturgical language is Latin. Consequently the Mass and other strictly liturgical services are conducted in Latin. Of course there are other devotions and prayers, for example, the Rosary, in English, And now, why? Well, in the earliest days of the Church Latin was used as the language in use in Rome and freely used in other parts of the Empire.

The Missal, or Mass Book, was gradually evolved.

Other liturgical books also, not printed, of course, in those times, have been handed down to us, a heritage of the ages.

And when missionaries carried the Faith to other countries they took those books with them.

That is the historical reason for the use of Latin. As to why the Church does not authorise the use of an English Missal, for example, in English-speaking countries, many reasons could be and are adduced.

Here are some of them: The use of Latin ensures that the text will not be corrupted-always a danger in translations, especially with the constant introduction of new words and new meanings in modern languages. The use of Latin is an element in the uniformity of liturgical usage throughout the Catholic world; the use of Latin gives an added solemnity-even Gladstone has left on record the impression of solemnity he gathered from listening to Mass said in Latin during a visit to Rome. As to a possible practical objection in regard to the people and their share in the liturgical services, it is a matter of common experience that Catholics get on very well and can follow the Mass easily, especially with an English translation of the Missal made for their use, E. McEvoy, Wembley: Your first question about priests not marrying has been answered more than once and quite recently.

Why repeat these questions continually? As to the reason suggested by you in the form of a question, it is not worthy of mention. I'm sorry you saw fit to include it in what purports to be a serious enquiry.

Q.: Christ says, "Come unto me all ye that are heavily laden and I will give you rast." I fail to see instead where it says to go to the priest and tell him your troubles and he will forgive them for you-and the priest goes around the corner to the Virgin Mary. What blasphemy.

A.: I can only repeat, What blasphemy.

You .utterly fail to understand the Catholic teaching about Confession, and your parody of it merits your own comment. I fail to see what the text you quote has to do with Confession; it means that in the following and service of Christ a man can find rest, peace of heart.

Anyhow, to a Catholic in a humble confession does bring peace of heart.

You fail to see where Christ mentioned forgiveness of sins: That He forgave sin Himself you will admit. He also said to His Apostles: "Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them " And in this commission is found the answer to your implied criticisms that a priest forgives sin in his own right.

He doesn't.

The priest pronounces pardon of sin by the authority of Christ.

As for the final taunt about the Virgin Vary, it doesn't merit an answer. Mere ignorance of Catholic doctrine might excuse it, but your attitude is summed up in the final paragraph of your letter: "I think it is high time the world woke up to your organisation and gave it its correct status and not allow it to use the cloak of religion."

To this no answer is necessary.

Q.: What is the "Order of Columbus?"

A.: I know of no such order. Perhaps you refer to an organisation in America with a similar name. It has been spoken of already in this session.

Joyce Foster. Ootteelos: Please, forgive my presumption in writing this brief letter to you. But in your last session you said quite a lot of things I did not altogether understand.

Well, yours is a friendly letter.

I am only too pleased to answer your question, although it has been answered before; the substance of the answer was given in reply just given to the last question. For the sake of brevity I will condense your question to bring out the point you raise. Here

it is:

Q: "We are all Catholics. First of all there was one Roman 'Catholic religion.

We all belonged to it, but you executed certain things that our body did not wholeheartedly agree with, so we started a body of our own.

From there different other bodies arose, as they did not altogether agree with everything that we did.

We only broke away because you worshipped relics of saints and made the 'Virgin Mary' equal to 'Christ' and a few other things.

From this you deduce that it does not matter what 'body' we belong it.

You say the different religious bodies were man made, so why quarrel

about it?"

Your statement is a very simple statement of the origin of what are called Christian sects, But it is over A,

simple and over -simplification often misses the point.

Now, first of all, there was not one Roman Catholic religion.

There was one Christian religion.

All belonged to it, and there was no separate "we," who executed certain things-there was no "your body" to object.

"Your body" started in the bosom of the One Church and broke away. And there were much greater issues at stake than relics of the saints and devotion towards the Virgin Mary. (In passing, you know, Catholics do not worship relics; they venerate them, and they

Isn't it the original one from which the others broke away?

Q.: If a Roman Catholic lived in the country and a Church of England Church was the only church for miles around, should that Roman Catholic rather stay home than go to that church?

A.: The Catholic should stay at home. He believe., that there is only one true Church of God, and therefore that it is wrong to join in the services of another church, no matter how well-intentioned those who perform That there is no Catholic them. church in the district is beside the point. Whether he can attend Mass or not is one thing, to take part in a We non-Catholic service is another. all worship the same God you say; but to Catholics the manner of worship is important. And that is not intolerance but a matter of conscience.

A Seeker After Truth, Wembley: Q.: I shall be glad to have your opinion on the subject of Purgatory, as I find the subject very confusing.

A.: You ask for information about the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory.

Now this doctrine has been treated of frequently in the session, including last Sunday night, and I must content myself to-night with answering briefly points raised in two letters, one from "C. of E.," Fremantle, and from "DoubtI hope these ing Dubbs," Subiaco, answers will make the doctrine less confusing than you find it, "C. of E.," Fremantle, asks why Catholics pay for Mass for the repose of the souls of their dear departed, and says: "I maintain if one's soul goes to hell, all the money in the world will not give it rest; but if it goes to HeaSo what?" ven, it finds rest.

A.: In the first place, Catholics do not pay for a Mass; but Mass is offered for the repose of the departed soul. No Catholic or any other sensible person could imagine it possible to buy one's way out of Hell or into Heaven. Otherwise what you say is Catholic doctrine.

If a soul is in Hell nothing, money or anything else, can get it out; if a soul is in Heaven it has no need of prayer.

But Catholic belief is that some souls before finally entering into Heaven must make satisfaction for mortal sins repented of before death but not fully satisfied for, or for venial sins not repented of. You may not believe this doctrine, but you misstated it in your As for our prayers. Well, we letter. cannot judge what souls have been favby God, nor what souls judged ourably have gone straight to Heaven, and we believe that our prayers and other good works can, in God's mercy, help the souls in Purgatory to make satisfaction.

A.: God is Good, and He will grant

us forgiveness of our sins, great and small, if we are sincerely sorry for

them, But suposing a man dies with "little sins" not repented of, is it .contrary to God's goodness if a period of purgation is required before the soul enters Heaven? A place of terrorism!

Well, there is suffering in Purgatory, particularly because the souls there are deprived for the time being of the Blessed Vision of God, but they are Moreover, saved and friends of God. they themselves will recognise the justice of this period of purgation. Even here on earth, where we are not certain of salvation, a man will put up 'with a lot in the hope of eternal happiness.

Q.: How do you explain the Roman Catholic Church? You say it is not really the R.C. Church but the Catholic Church. If so, why not be consistent? Isn't it the Church of Rome?

Surely this hoary chestnut of a question has been answered often Call the Church what you enough. like.

In the early centuries it was sufficient to call it "the Church." Our claim is simple enough to understand: there is one Church of God; God intends His Church to embrace all nations and all men; therefore it is UniActually the cenversal or Catholic. tre of that Church is Rome.

Q.: Can you truthfully answer the challenge that there is no Purgatory, according to the Bible. Can you tell me one chapter even in the New Testament which even hints of such a place or state?

A.: A direct reefrence to prayers for the dead is found in the 2nd. Book of Machabees, chap. 12, v. 43-46, where it is stated that Judas Machabeus ordered sacrifices to be offered in Jerusalem for The those who had died in battle. holy writer adds: "It is. therefore, a pray to thought holy and wholesome for the dead, that they may he loosed from their sins." Now you may argue

that this book is not authentic. (That raises another question, the Canon of

the Scriptures, which I cannot discuss at this moment; it will form part of Suffice it to the session later on.) say for the moment that this passage gives a Scriptural basis for the doctrine of Purgatory. In the New Testament there is no direct reference to Purgatory. No one has said there is.

For one who holds the Bible-and his version of it-as the sole rule of faith, that might be conclusive. But for Catholics there is another rule of faith, Tradition; and Tradition in the case of

earliest Fathers and Doctors of the Church. There is no doubt about the practice of the early Christians; they offered prayers, alms and especially the Divine Sacrifice for the eternal peace and rest of the dead.

Q.: If God is good, won't He out of the love He bears towards us poor humans grant forgiveness of our little faults without plunging us into this place of terrorism which the R.O. teaches?

.

Peter Piper, Fremantle: Q.: I listened with a certain amount of interest to the "Catholic Answer" on Sunday, the 7th., especially that lengthy portion explaining your version of "grace" on members of your Church. Well, as a non-Catholic, I say thank God I am not, if I have to believe all the rubbish you put over the air and have to "explain" the ways of your Church, which to my way of thinking is far from ChrisHe tian as taught by "Jesus," taught Christianity not from churstreet," the in ches but to the "man in the street.

A.: It would be interesting to know when and where this phrase was coinAnyhow, the "man in the street" ed. means the ordinary man, the average You say that Christ taught citizen. the man in the street, in the streetyou underlined these three words. The implication is that you do not believe in churches, where the Gospel is most often preached. Well, first of all, the "man in the street" is in the street on his way to work, perhaps during his lunch hour, and perhaps, if he is an out -door worker, during his working hours. But he has a home to live in, a bed to sleep in, a table to eat at; if he wants to take his family out he has. say, a picture theatre for their amusement; if he is a good companion he has a hotel to dring his beer in. These are the material things of life. Why shouldn't he have a Church, in which to worship God?

P. H.

You say Christ preached in the street. Quite so. He taught on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, from a fisherman's boat, on a mountain. lie also taught in the Synagogue at Nazareth; in the Synagogue at Capharnaum, when Ile promised His Flesh and Blood as food and drink. "And Jesus went about all their cities and towns, preaching in their synagogues and preaching the doctrine of the Kingdom."

In the Tem(Matthew, ch. 9, v, 35.) ple of Jerusalem, as we read in Matthew, chap, 21, v. 37 and 38: "And in the day -time He was teaching in the Temple, but at night going out He abode in the Mount that it called Olivet.

And all the people came early in the morning to Him in the temple to hear Him." Lastly you imply that the Catholic Churches preaches the Gospel only in Church. Evidently "the man in the .treet" never goes to church. But even the man who does not go to Church, since he can read, can find the Truths of Religion widely dispersed in newsprint; if he has a wireless set he can hear them on the air. I think that just at the moment I am trying to reach the man in the street. No! No man in these days can plead lack of opportunity to learn the Truths of ReYou know the old proverb, ligion.

"You can lead a horse to water"-and after all lots of people passed Christ by.

Q.: "I have worked with Catholics that are strict and found them bigots, untruthful, non -dependable, unreliable, polars, who will nearly always let the other fellow do his work for him, unkind and anything but a Christian. They make promises and break them, and use a non-Catholic for their own mean ends. I have met and admired some Catholics who are

very broadminded, but they are not strict in every sense of the word, and do not ram their religion down one's throat by word or deed.

A.: There is a rule of argument which says: "He who essays to prove too If the great much proves nothing," bulk of Catholics were as you say, the Church would have gone to pieces long ago and no decent person would belong to it.

Q.: If that is what your Church stands for, and it must be seeing they are regular attendants, then I say the teachings are rotten, and it is time you changed your ways and taught real Christianity, A.: The Church does not stand for that. Admittedly there are unworthy That is not people among Catholics. because of Catholic teaching, but in spite of it. Later on in your letter you say you have met Catholics and adn-;re them, hut that they were broadminded and not strict in every In other words, sense of the word. you think that the closer a Catholic is to'the Church the less is he to be admired. But this is a gratuitous assertion on your part; to say the least of it, you must have been singularly unlucky in your associations.

The nuances of the plot evade me.

By some queer mental process only possible in heroines of musical romances, Betty falls deeply in love with Victor, who, by the way, wears some simply thrilling "pull-overs" (probably gifts from the Victor Mature Lonely Hearts' .Association or some similar cultural body).

As usual the course of true love never runs smooth until the final fadeThis unhappy fact is emphaout.

Victor thinks sised in this picture. that Betty thinks that Victor doesn't , or take it another way: mean Betty feels that Victor feels that Betty really feels. You get the idea, no doubt. It's all very complex and rather silly. The sole redeeming feature of the film is the presence of that capable actor, Thomas Mitchell. Do you remember his brilliant work in "Stage Coach" and "Gone With the It is sad, however, to see Wind?" him in a picture of this sort,

Repertory followers, however, ery. will probably welcome the day when Mr. Batten is called on to act as well as to memorise his lines. It is no reflection on his ability to say that his last two parts have come too easily; but producers and members of the casting committee might note. It is always possible to get too much of a good thing; and earlier this year, in "Robert's Wife," it was a' pleasant relief to see a paison on the stage who could not, without an effort, be recognised as Peter Batten. As Lord Peter's partner on the honeymoon,

Betty Bahen's contribution is almost as exact replica of her wifely role in "Flare Path," It is to be hoped that this similarity in treatment does not denote a wooden temperament, because the actress has a pleasing voice and an equally pleasing appearance; it would be a pity if she were unable to develop her latent talent; once again the fault probably lies with the producer.

The play provided good opportunities for the scene -stealers, prominent among whom was Ralph Stoddart as Emulating his comedy Mr. Puffett. success in "Laburnum Grove," Mr. Stoddart made full use of a droll face and figure.

Radicalism or Rubbish?

The frantic nonsense attributed to the Anglican Bishop of (iuulburn, Dr. Burgmann, in the morning press during the week, was mysteriously cautioned "Radical Views."

It is as if a proposal to employ beavers instead of men for working the coal mines should be callSurely the radical element of social disorder is the ed "radical." disintegration of the family. The Bishop proposes to remedy this state of affairs by wrecking the family irreparably. Of course, one dues not require any special perspicuity to discern the cloven hoof of Marxism in his Lordship's philosophy, but if the Anglican HierLrchy really imagine that they may recapture their lost legions by such major lunacies they are even further removed from reality than one cares to think.

tyr:

It is, however, almost unbelievable that the newspaper report can be an accurate, or 'anyhow connected, report of what the Bishop said. For the correlative portions, even of sentences, are mutually exclusive. "We must teach women," reads the report. "that motherhood is a vocation, and the first lesson is that they must give up their child." That would seem to mean that women have a divine vocation, expressed through the Natural Law, to be mothers in order that Bishop Burgmann may have the advantages It never seems to have ocof child labour as early as possible. cured to the Bishop that the mothers might really want they children and have slight objections to the Bishop's taking them. It may even be. that average men would prefer to see the purple removed from the Bishop rather than children from their mothers.

After all, the purple is not indiginous, and parting might be less painful than parudition. One fancies that in this suggestion the Bishop was reactionary rather than radical, for Herod was the first But it in Christian times to propose parting Mother and Child. was really Solomon who saw the real implications of such.a separation when he proposed parting the child with a sword. It is curious but seemingly inevitable that the sword was the instrument in both cases. It would need to be so. too, in modern times.

But the Bishop then left the happy hunting ground of sociology for the more refined and clarified atmosphere of education. "At the age of 12," he is reported as saying, "the child entered adolescence and should be born again for society." Our Lord, too, spoke of this second birth, but the version was somewhat different.

"Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he shall not enter the Kingdom of God." Christian theology has always taught that this second birth enabled a man to prepare himself, not

for society, but for eternity; not for the new Moscow, but for the New Jerusalem. Of course, the Bishop has a new Jerusalem in view, too; but it is a fool's paradise rather than a children's paraIf Nicodemus thought it an amazing suggestion that he dise. should enter a second time into his mother's womb, one wonder what his reactions would be towards the Burgmann sacrificial rite for entering the Millenium. But, seriously, the Bishop is not a young man, nor is he Bernard Shaw. Does he expect to be treated seriously? If so. he should commence his public utterances with an act of faith in the surviving intelligence of the reading public.

Wednesday, September 13, 1944.

The recent case in the Children's Court, which involved an official of the Cobbers' Club (an off-shoot of the W.A. Temperance League), illustrates very forcibly that youth organisations, however sound their ideals may be, are a potential source of moral danger to youth if they are founded on a purely naturalistic basis. The Catholic opposition to such organisations proceeds from the same reasons as are urged against secular education. We do not claim that the children are taught anything that is positively wrong. Their sin is one of omission-the major omission of God. It has been shown over and over again that a morality which proposes to stand without religion is essentially unstable. It must necessarily be so because it lacks sanctions. To expect people, and especially young people, to be consistently moral simply for the sake of being conventional, or of "playing the game," argues a lunatic outlook on human nature.

Even people who have had a solid Christian formation of character find morality difficult. They are kept to it either out of love of God or out of the dread of sin and the fear of Hell.

But if the whole moral process is reduced, as the secularists reduce it, to the status of a game, then it may easily prove that immorality will be found the greatest game of all-while it lasts.

There is a certain pathos in watching the natural grounds of the secular. ists' morality being cut away daily

FRANCIS GILBERT A typical exfrom under their feet. ample is to hand in the new treatments for V.D. For it was the strongest card in the secular hand, to keep youths on the straight way of morals by holding out the bogey of disease. The advent of the sulpha drugs and of penicillin has, however, left them standing on space, and their charges (who have been taught to admire Science) see the world being made safe for promiscuity.

There is a stern warning in this whole business for Catholic parents. If home life is so enervated that they can no longer interest and hold their children. and must perforce make some social arrangement for them outside, they should at least beware of permit. ting them to join naturalistic youth organisations. Such is the corruption of the world that it is imperative that Catholic youth he kept in a Catholic

environment.

Dekanosov and their few friends were rarely seen in Moscow. At present they belong to the most prominent political factors in the Soviet capital.

Vishinski is the most important person in the Commissariat of Foreign Affairs and this gives an added prestige to this internal Government group whose control extends to the army, the 0.G.P.U., and the Department of Foreign Affairs.

Zdanov and his friends are chiefly responsible for the recall of Maisky and Litvinov. They consider that Russian interests will be far better served if these two posts are occupied by ordinary officials.

In the bulletin "Review of World Affairs," published by Kenneth de Courcy, an article was recently printed entitled "Behind the Scenes in Russia," based, as may be gathered from the introductory remarks, on the impressions of American observers.

The author states that in addition to the increased influence of the Red Army, one can notice the new alignment of Soviet policy. Moreover, Stalin at the present moment is no longer a dictator in the sense that he is able to enforce his unlimited will to the Government of his associates, On the contrary, the Government is composed of two principal groups possessing entirely divergent political viaw's which they openly and definitely pro-

Soviet Must Make First Advance In a recent article in the Brooklyn "Tablet," Professor Timasheff, Russian author of the notable book, "Religion in Soviet Russia," comments on the visit of the Polish -American priest, Father Orlemanski, to -Moscow, and says that it "stirs new speculation as to the possibility of an eventual understanding between the Vatican and the Russian State."

According to press reports, says Professor Timasheff, Father Orlemanski, in

his conference with Marshal Stalin and Commissar Molotov, pleaded for religious tolerance in Poland, and in the Russia, where Ukraine and White Not large Catholic minorities exist. only was Marshal Stalin quoted as promising to do all in his power to cooperate with the Church so that there would be no persecution in these areas,. but apparently he went even further than the Priest expected by affirming his desire that religious freedom be It was said that Father universal.

plans for Poland and Lithuania, both predominantly Catholic countries. Obviously, if Catholics could be persuaded that no persecution looms in the future. their opposition might vanish.

It seemed clear that some policy of appeasement was being shaped by the Kremlin strategists.

The Soviet Government is well aware of the Vatican's role in international politics. 'Hence, the attempt already begun to appease Catholic elements.

One must realise that he occupies a He Rev position in to -day's Russia. has definite and clear ideas on war aims, on conducting the war, and on foreign policy.

Zdanov's group considers that Russia's position is such that it is impossible and necessary to exert more decisive tactics in the realm of strategy and 'foreign policy. The group believes .

.

that 'whatever may happen, the Soviet Union holds cards which, if well played, will give satisfactory results.

It has the clearest conception of what should be done in the changing circumstances which can be created by the very next phase of war.

"This group is decidedly opposed to every policy of drifting or of compromising with Great Britain and America. where such compromise mould entail sacrificing that which is considered Finally. to he in Russia's interests. the group is of the opinion that whenever its views were not followed. circumstances proved that a set -back was the result.

Hence the growing self-confidence of Zdanov.

"There is no doubt that every problem which arises in the relations of Russia with Great Britain and America increases the power and authority of the group and strengthens the possibility of accepting -its policy. Already to-day its influence is almost predominant.

All this constitutes one of the most important processes in modern history."

"Polish and Central European Review," Sydney, 1/6/'44.

This has not been done in too obvious or open form, but in the more subtle, roundabout way characteristic of Soviet politics. Rather than confer with the Apostolic Administrator in Moscow, Father Leopold Braun, the Russian leader, chose a Priest who was prepered to play a part that had been assigned to him.

In acting thus, the Soviet statesmen probably sought in some way to "cor If the ner" the Catholic Church.

Church rebuked Father Orlemanski, Marshal Stalin would interpret this as the rejection of a friendly offer. On the other hand, if the Church tolerated use of the Priest's services by the Russian Government, it would mean that an obvious violation of Church discipline was being indirectly sanctioned.

The Kremlin anticipated that in both cases the antagonist-namely, the Catholic Church, would be weakened and made more responsive to Soviet terms, The subsequent submission of Father Orlemanski to episcopal censure, his pledge to withdraw from political activities, and the fact that he has suffered a physical breakdown have combined to nullify his utility on the So-

viet chessboard.

Nevertheless, it is quite possible that now, in view of the problem of the annexed provinces, Marshal Stalin would like to come to terms and to sign a kind of Concordat. It is up to him to make the first move, of course, since the Vatican never initiates agreements with political powers, however anxious it may be to reach an understanding looking to the protection and propagation of Catholic interests.

If Marshal Stalin is willing to grant the Catholic Church the same rights which have already been granted to the Orthodox Church, an agreement would no longer be out of the question, especially if one additional problem could be solved to the satisfaction of the Church.

This is the question of religious instruction to the children of Catholic parents, a mestion tha',. was paramount in the course of the -famous trial of Bishop Cepliak and Monsignor Eudkiewicz in 1921.

The road to friendship with the Catholic Church cannot, so far as the Soviet leaders are concerned, be traversed without considerable changes in attitudes and policies. It must be recalled that the Church has been the target of attack even in recent weeks.

On February 1, 1944, "Isvestia,"organ of the Soviet Government, published an article asserting that the foreign policy of the Vatican was pro Fascist, and a -week later "Red Star," the paper of the Russian Army, printed an extract from a pamphlet denouncing "the Vatican's intrigues in the international arena."

In April, Patriarch Sergius, whose death has just been reported, published in the "Journal of the Patriarchate" an article in which he opposed the Catholic doctrine on the position of the Pope as the Vicar of Christ, In his statement, Patriarch Sergius merely repeated the well-known ideas of the Greek Orthodox theologians, But it was symptomatic that the Patriarch, who in the course of the war strongly supported the foreign policy of the Soviet, found it convenient to emphasise the opposition of the Orthodox Church of Russia to Catholicism at a time when, throughout the Christian world, all the churches stressed their solidarity. Why such a statement should have appeared at all, in view of the pending visit of Father (Mermanski-by invitation-is one of many un explained mysteries behind recent developments.

External Duties of Christian Charity Importance & Value of Almsgiving

that this influence may be to some extent more eflective than that which

One of the most effective ways of fulfilling one's duties of Christian charity towards others less fortunate than ourselves is to assist the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. We should consider this society when we are debating in our minds the distribution of what

is wielded by professional religious.

The general Catholic body may be urged to greater fidelity in co-operation if they have already tried to be faithful, or to become co-operators, either by joining up or by helping in a financial way, if they have not already done

money we can spare amongst the num erous charitable works sponsored by the Church. Some reasons for helping are: (1) It is a safe way of investing, because (a) only deserving cases will be helped and (b) practically all we give will reach Christ, in the person of His poor. Overhead expenses are practically nil.

12) The works are so varied and so beautiful, and some of them are not done by any other agency in the Church in our midst.

(3) The last reason is that this work is done by Catholic laymen, who mingle with the people of the world, and, thus, bring prominently before their the eyes the beneficent charity of Church, so that it seems fair to assume

The class is now being held in the National Fitness Building, 2no.

Floor, 130 William Street, at 7 p.m.

Once again the annual Retreats have been held, and they have left in the hearts of the retreatants a feeling of thankfulness that they were given the inclination to participate, and keen appreciation of the kindness and hospitality of the Rev. Mother and Sisters of the Sacred Heart Convent, Highgate. and the Redemptorist Fathers

and Brothers, respectively.

The Retreat for women was conducted by Rev. Father Timms, C.SS.R., and that for men by Rev. Father G. Joyce, C.SS.R. The great majority of the retreatants were young girls and boys, and the lectures were appropriate and all that could he desired.

Both Retreats were well attended, and from this point of view the men's Retreat was a record.

The District Board expresses its most sincere thanks to the Rev. Mother and Sisters, and the Fathers and Brothers, for their goodness in having made the Retreats possible.

St. Malachi's Branch, At the meeting held on September 6, Miss Mary Markey was elected and welcomd, and Miss V. Galandi was nominated for membership. A challenge received from St. Joachim's Branch to a football match was accepted, and this will be played at Castledare on 24th. inst.

The branch iwas well represented at both Retreats, and the reports showed that the members were delighted with the experience.

The dance held on 1st. Mst was very successful, awl the next will be held on Friday, 29th, inst.

The meeting on Wednesday next will be held after the Mission devotions. The quarterly Communion will take place at the 7 o'clock Mass on 24th. inst.

St. Brigid's Branch, West Perth.

At the meeting on 4th. inst., Mr. J. Hunter was nominated for membership. The meeting was well attended, members of St. Mary's, St. Malachi's, and St. Canice's branches being present for the purpose of competing in the second semi-final and final of the men's doubles event in the badminton tournament.

Unfortunately, one of the contestants could not attend, and hence the matches were postponed until Monday next. Those present, however, had an enjoyable night at badminton.

There was great excitement in Toot. way.

It A new store had opened. was to be run on the lines of those threepenny and sixpenny shops which are a feature of big shopping centres.

The store was being run by a man named Cohen. One day a woman entered the shop, chose a toy, and put sixpence in the proprietor's hand.

"Excuse me, madam," said Cohen, "but the toys are ninepence."

"But I thought this was a threepenny and sixpenny store," protested the woman.

"Veil, madam, I leave it to you," was the reply.

"How much is sixpence and threepence?"

It happened that the opposite door had been left unlatched by the previous fare, and, stumbling against it, the inebriated one fell outside again.

He picked himself up with difficulty and approached the driver.

"That's pretty quick work," he said.

"How much do I owe you?" .

"But I must tell you, my dear, we've got a new doctor, instead of old Sawbones, as you used to call him."

"Oh, yes, a charming man.

The girl in the bus took her powder puff from her pocket and began powdering her face.

That finished, she took out her lipstick and made up the curves of her mouth.

Still not content with her appearance, she devoted her attention to her eyebrows.

This beauty treatment was too much for the conductor, who had been watching her every movement, and he called out: "Any gent here like to borrow my shaving tackle?"

The museum attendant approached the millionaire.

"Smoking is forbidden here, sir," he said.

"You are liable to a fine of ten shillings," "Well, here's a pound note," replied the culprit.

"I have no change, sir," said the

attendant.

The millionaire turned to his secret"Here, ary and handed him a cigar.

"It is the duty of every one to make at least one person happy during the week," said a Sunday -school teacher.

"Yes," said Freddy promptly.

The woman had been trying to the shop assistant, whose temper was beginning to get a little uncertain.

"I think you had better fetch the manager," sniffed the customer. "Perhaps he'll have a little more sense than you seem to possess."

"Oh, he has, madam," was the tired reply. "He went out as you came in!"

young N.C.O. was being interview-

"What coloured chinagraph pencil do you use for marking enemy positions?" he was asked.

"Blue, sir," said the candidate correctly.

"Good, and what colour do you use for marking enemy patrols?"

'Blue, sir."

"Good again," said the member of the Board, who was asking the questions.

"And what colour do you use for our own troops?"

"Blue, sir."

A man who was keen on his garden was justifiably proud of his lawn. But one year the lawn had a heavy crop of dandelions.

He tried everything he had ever heard of to get rid of them, but without success.

At last he wrote to the Ministry of Agriculture. He gave a list of all the remedies he had tried ,and ended his epistle with: "What shall I do now?"

In due course came a reply: "We subgest you learn to love them."

It was the very junior reporter's first

assignment, to report a wedding. But he didn't return to the office till next morning.

"Why didn't we get a report from you?" demanded the news editor sternly.

"There was nothing to report," was the young man's airy reply.

"The bridegroom was killed in a car smash on the way to the church and the bride died of shock. So there was no wedding and I just went home," *

On his round of visits, the vicar called on Farmer Hawkins, a horn pessimist.

"I'm glad to know your wife is bet-

ter," began the vicar brightly.

"You wouldn't be if you 'ad to live with her!" gloomed the farmer "You have a nice garden here," was the vicar's next effort.

"None so bad for them as don't 'aye to dig in it!"

"Well, at least you seem to have a good supply of water," "Maybe, but it's all to be pumped!"

The vicar played his last card.

"It's nice weather, at any rate."

"Yes, for them as ain't nothin' to do but enjoy it!"

It was their annual visit to the local pantomime, and Jones had developed an awful thirst. So when the interval came, he seized his chance.

"Ah, I think I smell burning," he said: "I'll go and see if there's anything wrong."

In due course, his thirst quenched, he returned to his seat.

"It wasn't fire," he murmured in his wife's ear as he got back to his seat.

"No, nor water either!" replied the lady with a meaning sniff.

Johnny had told a fib and mother decided to speak to him seriously about it.

"Do you know what happens to little boys who tell fibs?" she began solemnly.

"No, mummy," said the small boy, with an air of polite interest.

"Well," mother went on, "if you tell any more fibs, a big green dragon with seven tails and a fiery mouth will come and gobble you up!"

But Sam had an explanation to make.

The princess raised one eyebrow.

Then she lowered it and raised the other. Then she raised them both together. She appeared to be labouring under the stress of deep thought. i "Oh," she contributed to the conversation, as she subjected the boys to a examination. "So more searching ti orders t the Goona thinks he gives around here, does he?"

"Yes, that's right, Miss."

"Oh, no, it's not!" And she added darkly: "Where is he now, anyway?"

But, strangely enough, Roona did not explode and immediately consign them to the croc pit. Instead she surveyed them as if she were seeing them for the first time.

Then she spoke, and her voice was a couple of hundred degrees fahrenheit warmer than it had hitherto been.

"Boys," she said, "shake!"

"B -b-b-but, B -but," stuttered Wally.

But the princess was employed in clearing the deck. Sam and the bevy of maids were hushed outside, so that she could give her whole attention to the matter in hand.

Then she turned and said.

accepted my lot and am willing to be their princess, but in reality I have been waiting and waiting for someone to come along, who might be able to help me, And now you have come."

"U,!" replied the ungrammatical Dan, "how on earth can we help you?

We're prisoners ourselves. What can we do?"

The princess ignored his question.

"You know the way through the jungle to Mbongo, don't you?" she asked.

"Yes, yes.

We know that alright.

At least when he contact Tchali again, we do." "'Well, then, you get me to Mbongo, and I'll get you out of here."

"O.K. It's a deal!" Both the ex-, plorers seemed to be of the unanimous opinion that the idea was a good one.

Then Wally remembered.

"Hey!" he said.

"What about the orchid?

We've got to get that before we can go back to Mbongo."

The princess paled. "You want to get out of here, don't you?" she said.

"Yes, yes, of course we do," explained Dan; "but we must get the orchid.

Even now Rough Deal is pushing on towards it, while we are being held here. And in another ten days it will flower. If we were to take you back to Mbonga we would lose all chance of. beating him to it."

"If you do not take me back to Mbongo you will remain here for fodrteen days, and that would be worse still," said the girl simply.

"Ow! What a pickle!" groaned Dan. But for once Wally proved himself a bright boy.

"Why," he murmured, thoughtfully, "can't we rescue Roona, and leave her at Tchali's village until we call for her on the way back?"

"Why didn't I think of that myself Of course, that's what we'll do! You'll be quite safe there, Roona." koona, who had had quite enough of the underground city and the dog-men, was not hard to persuade "We'll leave this minute," she announced, "and I do hope you can find the way alright.

What'll you do if Tchali hasn't managed to elude Goona's panthers, and passed on the glad tidings that we're coming?"

"Don't be a pessimist!" ordered Dan, as the three passed from the lighted chamber into a darkened passageway.

(To be Continued.)

(What a spot of luck for the boys!

Perhaps Rough Deal will not be so lucky in his undertakings!) !
