CalvaryAnalogy

WhenJesusChristvoluntarilysacrificedHislifeon theCross,saidFather Bourke,Hemeanttheconstantremembranceofitto affectvitallythewhole manneroflivingofthose forwhomHedied.And withdueanalogy,thesame istrueoftheresponsibility ofus,whooweourpresent enjoymentofacivilised modeofliving,tothesacrificeoftheirlivesbyhundredsofthousandsofAustralianswhomthenation commemoratesto-day.

Catholicsdidmorethan commemoratethem;tthey prayedfortheirimmortal souls.IntheCathedral thatmorningtheycameto speedtotheireternal % rewardthemenwhofellon Gallipoli,inFrance,inthe differentspheresoftheMiddleEastandItaly,inNew Guineaandtheislandsof ,thePacific,andmorelately, inKorea.

"Letusgiveaspecial remembrance,"saidthe preacher,"forthosewho languishedanddiedinthe indescribablefilthand squalorofprisoncampsintheFarEast.Letusprayfor thenavalpersonnelwhom thecruelseahasclaimed, andthecourageousairmen whohurtledtodeathin

everygrimtheatreofthe war.

"Maythemeritsof Christ'sowndeath,which were-offerintheMassthis morning,bringtoallof themrefreshment,lightand peace.Inthisway,thanks toGod'sgreatgoodness,we areabletorepaypartof ourimmensedebtto them."

Buttheyhadotherresponsibilitiesbesidesthat ofprayingfortheireternal repose,continuedFather Bourke.IfSt.Paulcould sayofthedeathofJesus Christ:"Christdiedforall forthem,"itcouldbe saidofthosemen'ssacrifices thattheyalsodiedthat thosewholivedafterthem wouldstrive,withequaldevotion,topreserveintime ofpeace,thatforwhich theygavetheirlivesintime ofwar.

ToSafeguardValues

Andforwhatdidthose mengivetheirlives?Unlesshishearerswerehopelesslycynical,theywere surelyagreedthatitwasto safeguardthevaluesofthe past-thevaluesofthelife theyknewandloved-that othersandtheirchildren mightenjoythemtoo.

Perhapsthefullrichness ofthatinheritancewasnot equallygraspedbyallof them,buttheysawsomething,andwhattheysaw theywerewillingtogive theirlivestopreserve.

Patriotismwasavery realvirtue.Itwassomethingthatsprangfrom theirverynatureassocial beings.Itwasaspiritual reality,madeupoftheindividualcontributionsof thevariousmemberswho formedacommunity.In aword,itwastheloyalty thatcamefromfacinglife together.

Itwasnownineyears sincethewarended.When theyexaminedtheinheritanceoftheAustralianway oflife-awayoflifebased onthesanctitiesofhuman liberties-awayoflife whichthosementreasured morethantheirownindividuallives,theycould scarcelyfeelthatasanationtheyhadkeptfaith withtheirnobledead.

NoNaturalHope

ThecoldfactofthematterwasthattheAustraliatheyknewandloved, couldsurviveononlyone condition,namely,avery extraordinaryintervention onthepartofAlmighty God.Foronallthelogic ofhistory,onalltheprecedentssincetheworldbegan,Australiaastheyknew it,couldnothopetosurvive.

Didnoteveryweekbring freshandalarmingreports oftheCommunistcolossus movingeverclosertoour shoresfromAsia?If,as seemedperilouslylikely, Indo-Chinasuccumbed, thenassuredly Siam, Burma,Malaya,andIndon-

esiawouldbeabsorbedinto thevastorbitofCommunism,andwouldthenbe marshalledagainstthis land.

Whocouldanylonger doubt,afterthedramatic eventsofthelastfortnight, thattherewasavirusat workintheirverymidst inAustralia,whichsought toparalysethemostvital meansoftheirdefence?

Whocoulddoubtthat,from thesameinsidioussource, emanatedinfluenceswhose wholeaimwastodominate thechainofunionsthroughouttheland,andthenmisusethosesafeguardsof humanrights,toimplement aCommunistpolicyforthe disruptionofthewhole economyofthecountry?

HowmanyAustralians, tillquiterecently,hadany ideaoftheperilthatencircledthem?Howmany evenyetrealisedit?And whythatincrediblelackof realisminamattersovital tothemselves?

InsidiousForces

Someofthepressunderminedtheveryfoundations ofthemoralcodebyits cynicaltreatmentofreligion,whichwasthevery soulofanation.They themselvesconstantlysaw proofofitsunscrupulous misrepresentationofthings Catholic,andontheother handofitsconspiracyof silenceinregardtothe Church'stremendouspositivecontributiontothesolutionoftheworld'sills.

Itallmounteduptothe conclusionthattheremust beinsidious,satanicforces thathadamajorcontrolof thePress'spolicies,and thatscarcelyanythingwas moreinimicaltothetrue welfareofAustraliathan themoralirresponsibilityof suchalargesectionofthe press.
