Mr.Grahambrought forthhisbrain-childatthe endofAugustlastyear.It wasreceivedwithhostility bymostofthepress.SubsequentlySenatorSpooner (MinisterforNationalDevelopment)announcedthat, intheviewoftheCommonwealthGovernment,the buildingoftheflatswasinconsistentwiththeintention,spiritandscopeofthe housingagreement.Hestatedpubliclythatnoadvances underthatagreementwould bemadefortheSubiaco project.

Subsequently,thePremier,Mr.Hawke,assured theCommonwealthonthis point.Itthenbecameknown thattheStategovernment hadputahypotheticalquestiontotheW.A.Supreme CourtastowhethertheFederalgovernmentwasbound tomaketheadvance.

Apparentlyanassurance oflegalsecuritywasobtainedfromsomesourcefor shortlyafterwardsthegovernmentannounceditsintentiontocalltendersfor thebuildingoftheflats.

This,claimedthewriter, wouldenabletheStateto calculateitslosses,would beaboontohomebuilders, wouldprovidehomesand wouldpreservethespiritof independence.

Itseemsunanswerable. PerhapsthatiswhyMr. Grahamhasnotattempted toanswerit.

AccordingtoFatherIribarren,Spaincouldaffordto send2000secularpriests,2000 regularpriests,and6000religiousintotheSpanish-speakingregionsofCentral andSouthAmerica.He wrote: "Whatwouldhappenin Spainif,allofasudden,we deprivedourselvesQf10per cent.ofourpersonnel?Probablynothing.Andwhat wouldhappeninSpanish Americaifweweretomake thisgenerousgestureofsendingthese10.000personnel? Probablymuch."

FatherIribarrenplacedthe numberofpriestsinSpainat 29,580-22.087secularand7493 regular-andthenumberof brothersandnunsat17.205 and63.267,respectively.He saidtheover-alltotalof 110.052Spaniardsinreligious lifedoesnotincludeSpanishmissionariessenttoremote lands.

Pointingtothescarcityof religiousvocationsinLatin America,FatherIribarren saidthattwomajorseminariesinSpainalonehave 8406students,closetotwice thecombinedtotalof4978 seminariansin19Centraland SouthAmericancountries. Ordinationsofsecularpriests inSpaineachyear,headded, aredoublethenumberinall LatinAmerica.

TheSpanishHierarchy,FatherIribarrensaid,recognisedthesignificanceofthis "terriblecontrast"byestablishingtheSocietyforHis-

panamericanPriestlyCooperation,alreadytenyears old,thegroupwasrecently renamedtheBishops'CommitteeforLatinAmerican Co-operations.Ithasalready assignedmorethan 130 Spanishpriests'toworkin LatinAmerica,eachofthem forafive-yearperiod.

PresbyterianismIsPerhapsOne OfMostAuthoritarianSects

WheretheEucharistis concerned,allideasofits beingasacrificeofferedto GodbytheChurch,asin theCatholicMass,arerejected.TheLord'sSupper isa"CommunionRite' only,anditsrelationtothe deathofChristonthe Crossisthatofamemorial service,doingnomorethan bringtoourmindsthoughts ofthatSacrificeoffered onceandforallinthepast.

Needlesstosay,thedoctrineoftheRealPresence ofChristintheconsecrated elementsisdefinitelyrepudiated.Thewordsof consecrationmakeno changeinthebreadand wine.

TheCatholicdoctrineof "transubstantiation,"dedaringthatthesubstance oftheelementsisconverted intothesubstanceof Christ'sbodyandblood, andtheLutherandoctrine of"consubstantiation,"declaringthatthesubstanceof Christ'sbodyandblood becomepresentintheEucharistwiththesubstance ofbreadandwine,are bothrejected.

ThreefoldPolity Presbyteriansbelieve that,afterconsecration,the breadandwineremainin themselvesexactlyasthey werebefore.Butthebene fitsChristobtainedfor mankindbymeansofHis bodyandbloodareconferredupontheworthyre ceiver,accordingtothe degreeofhisfaith.

Therite,therefore,must alwaysbeassociatedwith thepreachingoftheWord, theminister'sexhortation re-awakeningthefaithof thosewhoparticipate.

Asmusthavealready becomeclear,themostdistinctivefeatureofthePresbyterianChurchisitspolityororganization.

Thegeneralaimisthreefold:(1)tosecureparity ofallministers,asopposed toepiscopacy;(2)tosecure organicunityoftheChurch, asopposedtoCongregationalism;(3)tograntthe laityashareinthegovernmentoftheChurchthrough representative"Elders".

Toattainthisend,aclosely-knitseriesof"Church Courts"hasbeenestablished.Thelowestisthe"Kirk Session,"consistingofthe ministerandrulingelders ofalocalcongregation.The rulingeldersareordained forlife,andassistthem:nisterindecidinguponthe admissionofnewmembers, incontrollingChurchaffairs,distributingCommunionwhentheLord'sSupperiscelebrated,andin parochialvisitation.

DivineAuthority?

Abovethe"KirkSession" isthe"Presbytery"consistingofministersandchosen rulingeldersofagiven district.The"Presbytery" overseesthecongregations withinitsjurisdiction,establishesnewcongregations, ordainsministers,andhears appealsfrom"KirkSessions."

Stillhigheristhe"Synod,"aCouncilofaspecifiednumberof"Presbyteries."

Highestofallisthe"GeneralAssembly"ofministersandeldersfromevery "Presbytery."A"Moderator"ischosenannuallyas officialheadofthePresbyterianChurchduringhis Multi

termofoffice.Heisnot, however,a"monarchialprelate"withanyspecialjurisdiction,butissubjecttothe Assemblyoverwhichhe presides.

The"GeneralAssembly" reviewstheworkofthe Church,appointsprofessors oftheology,hearsappeals andsettlescontroversiesreferredtoitbylowercourts.

Presbyteriansareexpectedtobelievethatthisorganization,whilsthumanly constructed,isendowed withdivineauthority.Any judgmentofthe"General Assembly"istobe'accepted asfinal,andnotsubjectto reviewbyanyothertribunalonearth.

ThePresbyterianisprobablythemostauthoritarianofalltheProtestant Churches;andifthetheory wereheldinrealitybyits members,theywoulddiffer fromtheCatholics,notso muchontheprinciplesof authority,butmerelyasto whatshouldbetheorgans ofthatauthority.

Butitwouldbetoomuch tosaythatPresbyterians haveanyfaithatallin theirChurchasaChurch comparabletothatwhich CatholicshaveinthehistoricCatholicChurchofthe centuries.

NoFixedForms

ThereisnotoneworldwidePresbyterianChurch. NationalChurchesarequite independentofoneanother.

Itistruethat,in1877,an "AllianceofReformed ChurchesholdingthePresbyterianSystem"wasestablished,withmeetingsof representativesfromall countrieseveryfouryears. ButinnosenseisthisagoverningbodybindingPresbyterianChurchesinfoorganicunity.Atbest,the meetingsofthe"Alliance" areregardedasusefulconferences.

Turningtoactualrites, thenormalserviceconsists ofthereadingofScripture, thesingingofhymns,nonliturgicalprayers and preaching,theserviceendingwiththeblessinginvokedonallpresentbythe minister.Occasionally, thoughrarely,theApostles'Creedmayberecited.

TheComthunionService isusuallycelebratedquarterly.Fourtimesyearlyis farremovedfromthedaily celebrationoftheEucharistintheearlyChurchas recordedinScripture.

But,attheReformation, thereactionagainstthe Mass,andthesubstitutionof preachingasthecentralfeatureofdivineworship,led toadepreciationoftheEucharist.

Andthelossofbeliefin theRealPresenceofChrist intheBlessedSacrament madeitseemoflittleimportance.Tothisday,sick anddyingPresbyteriansare rarely;ifever,giventhe opportunityofreceiving Communion.
