Simple Lessons in Gregorian Chant (By Rev. T. W. Purcell, 0.M.I., B.A.)
LESSON VII. In the early lessons we saw the different ways in which notes may be prolonged, and one of those ways we designated by the name of our own coining,"tied notes," and remarked that there were several ways in which this tieing of notes could be effected, and that the several ways had proper names of their own. In Lesson V. we met some of these names, the Bivirga and Trivirga, the Distropha and Tristropha. In this lesson I am going to introduce you to the remaining two, which it is very important to know and recognise at sight. The Pressus.—This is a tied note of It may be formed in either of two ways: (1) Two notes of the same pitch coalesce, the first of which is a punctum or virga, and the second, the first note of a group of notes. (2) Two notes of the same pitch coalesce, the first of which is the last note of a group of notes, and the second, the first note of a group of notes. Examine the examples carefully, and notice the differ. ence between the Pressus and two beats duration.
The Oriscus.—This is also a tied note of two beats, and is formed in the opposite way to that of the first type of pressus, that is two notes of the same pitch coalesce, the first of which is the last note of a group of notes and the second note a single punctum or virga.

regarded as a unit. Just as the single letters of the alphabet grouped together form a word, so the individual notes form in a sense a musical word, and in singing the chant, this must be kept in mind. To carry the analogy further, we recall that in a word one syllable receives special emphasis, and ths other syllables are subordinated to that syllable. The same holds in the groups of notes. One note stands out, and must receive a certain prominence. It is sung more loudly. given greater stress. The general rule is that the first note of the group will reecive this prominence. And to do this special care must be taken with certain groups. The podatus is difficult to render correctly in the beginning. The first note of the group receives the emphasis, and the second and higher note is sung lightly, which, of course, is contrary to the antural tendency to emphasise the high note. The torculus must be noted carefully, and due prominence given to the first note, while the middle or high note must be sung lightly. Care must be taken not to sing the notes as though they were three unconnected notes, but rather as though they were a curve of sound. Beware of the natural tendency to settle down on the middle note of this group. The climacus is a dangerous group to beginners. Beware of the tendency to scamper down it as though the diamond notes were half notes. The first note is the prominent one, the others are sung more lightly, but remember, not more quickly.
1. Types of Pressus. (i.) Single note and group; (ii.) Two groups.
The Porrectus must be sung smoothly, due prominence being given to its first note,
N.B.: Owing to a misprint, a note which hould be on the second line is omitted. It is this absent note which, with the first note of the Porrectus, makes the Pressus. 2. Two examples of the Oriscus
The salicus is an exception to the general rule when its second note bears a vertical episema. In that case the second note receives prominence which in this case is marked by a slight prolongation of the note.
Some Examples.—On page 6 of your The quilisma must be carefully rentext book you will find some exam- dered. The quilisma itself is sung ples of both these types of notes.

(By S.R.H.S.) (Continued.) it would be unfair, however, to suggezit that these earlier volumes are only interesting on the personal side. The pure lyric note is uttered the first here; once or twice in a small perfect song, as "The Likeness" and "Parted"; but oftener in a snatch or a broken trill as: He who loves Nature truly, hath His weafth in her kind hands; and it Is safe trust until his death, Increasing as he uses it. Or a passage from "Music," invoking the memouy of childhood: 0 happy days of childhood, when We taught shy Echo in the glen. Words she had never used before— Ere age lost heart to summon her. with its early rush, Falls into a mysterious rush, When nearing the eternal sea: Yet we would not forgetful be, In -these deep. silent days so wise, Of shallows making mighty noise W'r.,n we were young, when we were gay, And never thought Death lived—that Or a fragment from "The Calm," when the poet has been thinking o1' his "tempestuous past." and contrasts it with his present well-heing, and the country joys which he fears will be snatched away again: But are these pleasant days to keep:* Where shall I he when Summer comes? When, with a bee's mouth closed, she hums .Sounds not to wake, hut soft and deep To make 11,.:r pretty charges sleep? The lk ve ,f Nature. which supplies the theme here, is a characteristic that persists thnughout the subsequent volnines. It recurs more and more frequently, until the autobiographical element is almost eliminated: and just as it is the main motive of the later poetry. so it is its happiest inspiration. It is rather a pagan feeling, taking great joy into the beauty of the material world, revelling in the impresSIC41S of sight and scent. sound and taste and touch.

which one would not look for in this type of genius. It is a lighter quality, occasionally childlike in its naivete. fantastical, graceful, even quaint. It is shown in the simile sometimes, as this from "The Soul's Destroyer," describing the sky: It was a day of rest in heaven, which seemed A blue gras field thick dotted with white tents Which Life slept late in, though `0,vere holiday. Or this account of the origin of the Kingfisher, from "Farewell to Poesy". It was the Rainbow gave thee birth And left thee all her lovely hues: And, as her mother' name was Tears. So runs it in thy blood to choose For haunts the lonely pools, and keep In . company with trees that weep. Or a fancy about the sound of rain from "Nature Poems": I hear leaves drinking rain; I hear rich leaves on top, Giving the poor beneath Drop after drop; 'Tis a sweet noise to hear Those green leaves drinking near. It plays an important part. too, in the poems upon other favourite themes on a woman's hair, on her voice, on music. Such are "Sweet Music" ane "A Maiden and her Hair." in "Nature Poems": as well as "The Flood." from which I quote. It will he found in "Songs of Joy": I thought my true love slept: Behind her chair I crept, And pulled out a long pin: The golden flood came out, She shook it all about, With both our faces in. Ali! little wren I know Your mossy, small nest now A windy, cold place is: No eye can see my face, Howeer it watch the place, Where I half drawn in bliss.

NEW BRITAIN MISSION CELEBRATES 50th. YEAR. The Vicariate of Rabaul, New Britain. South Pacific, founded September 29. 1882, this year celebrated its 50th. anniversary: a comparison of the statistics of to-day with those of 25 years ago, when it celebrated its Sil• ver Anniversary, shows an astounding increase and proves that the Sacred Heart Missionaries of Issoudin, to whom the Vicariate is entrusted, have continued their .forward march for souls. The number of missionaries has risen in this period. 1907-1932. from 27 to 46. The Catholics have increased from 14,115 to 38.590. Catechists have gone up from 74 to 315; to this figure must be added 66 women catechists. In this period 215 churches and chapels were built, thus, instead of 85, as in the year. 1907, there are now 300. Pupils in the schools have risen from 4,572 to 9,947. Despite the knott, difficulties encountered in this corner of Oceanis—geographical isolation, climate, weather, language difficulties. and others—the complete conversion of these people is only a question of time and means —Fides.

THE RECORD.
The Challenge of Communism to Europe It was true that Bolshevism had now attained to the status of a political reality, to the government of Russia, i.e., of one-sixth of the earth's surface of 160 millions of people; and yet to-day, under the written code of Bolshevik law, force had still to be used and death was the penalty for a political offence against the Proletarian State, wheras for a trifle like murder there was no death penalty, said Father Owen Dudley, in the Cathedral Hall, Liverpool, at a public meeting organised by the C.Y.M.S. The creed of Bolshevism claimed to embrace the whole of man's being. Its philosophy wa,s materialism; its goal a self-sufficient society of producers. That goal was the end of man. It was the goal of evolution, the goal of history. There was nothing beyond it. And, therefore, religion, which said there was something beyond, was a contradiction and a denial of the Mandan end of man. Not only that, but religion, with a goal beyond, took the mind away from the attainment of the self-sufficient society on earth. That was why, under Bolshevism. religion had to go. Ultimately, Bolshevism was to erect the new tower of Babel on earth, the perfect self-sufficient Society in which no divine Providence would be needed, and no Redeemer required—the self-deification of Humanity: the Great God, Man. A Consistent Creed. "It is a perfectly consistent creed of Materialism." continued Father Dudley. "If I were a materialist, I should probably be a Bolshevist. I would certainly do my utmost to oust the Christian family. the Christian home. and Christian marriage—upon which the whole structure of Christian an:I European civilisation has been built: the civilisation that Bolshevism intends to destroy. Materialism treats humanity as a herd of animals, and animals have no human rights. The institution of Christianity stand for Ito dividual human rights. "I don't know whether, as a T could ever bring myself to
subscribe to the doctrine of a sellsufficient Society, however logically it may follow from the premises ot materialism and atheism. I simply cannot conceive of human beings, outside a lunatic asylum, ever really believing in their self-sufficiency. Since human beings all vary so much, they all want different things. And, yet, in the selfsufficient Society, of Bolshevistic Communism, everybody would have to be satisfied with the same things—under a rigid code. "Bolshevism is a contradiction of human nature, a blinding of humanity t o itself. It is precisely what it challenges Christianity with being—a dope, an opium, a vast gulling of mankfnu with the fiction that it can find its salvation within itself, a lie against the truth of human nature." Dealing with the Bolshevist effort to destroy Christian marriage and the Christian family and home—the very anchorage of human life—Father Dudley declared that: "Were the coinmunity of workers, instead of the fain ily, to become the unit of society, you would have a social order of human beings without a natural centre, which ultimately would rend itself asunder as a self-made, unnatural monstrosity." European System Responsible. Declaring that the Red Menace was a reality, that its aim was to exploit as it was now doing. European dissension, and that the failure of the Disarmament Conference had gravely emphasised that disunion. Father Dudley went on:—"The Red Menace is not a fiction, as some complacently imagine. England has not yet awakened to it. "Neither has England yet awakened to the fact that the European social system; which is hers, is very largely responsible for what is threatening the w hole European order. "I refer to the injustices and evils in that system, to which the Pope has recently drawn attention in very forcible terms. Communism is a challenge to those injustices and evils, a w arning to Europe to set its house in order. We may repudiate its doe. trines and its methods, hut we cannot ignore the fact that Communism is a demand for a new life—a nett 'metal "life.
"And, if we turn a deaf ear to the labouring masses' cry for that lire, we are not worthy to bear the name oi Christian. The answer to the Red Menace is for Europe to give that new And life to its working millions. the Pope has told Europe how The Needed Revolution. The revolution that was wanted was the revolution by which men would work for one another, instead of against. These were the lines on which justice for Labour and a new social life would be attained. Might God give us statesmen with the courage to act on them; and the vision to realise that only on such lines would the Red Menace be averted, and Bolshevism's world revolution defeated. Addressing himself more particularly to Catholic young men, and urging them to support the Archbishop in his campaign against Communism, Fathei Dudley said:— "Many of you are living and working in the midst of what I have been speaking about; and therefore in the midst of what is dangerous to your Faith. The poison of Communism is a subtle poison. It is so terribly easy, under the obvious injustices in the Capitalitic system, to get up against things and see red. I see red myself at times. And for some men it is a temptation, when they see red, to go Red. The arguments of the streetcorner Communist are seductive. Catholic or Communist? "I understand that there are some men in Liverpool who are trying to he Communists and Catholics at the same time. "You cannot be a Communist and a Catholic. Communism is a complete system in complete contradiction to the Catholic Faith. Neither can a Catholic be a member of a Communist club, nor of any club that is tin-Catholic or anti-Catholic in its atmosphere. and at the same time a consistent member of the Catholic Church. It is one or the other. -For the love of God, realise that the Catholic Church tells you not to accept, but to fight the evils and iniustices. .And she tells you how. 13,
being a good Catholic. By doing yoer bit on her behalf as a Catholic. B, fighting as a Catholic. By proclait , ing right and left the social principles of the Catholic Church. "And if you don't know the pri:I. ciples, here they are. The Pope's En. cyclical on "The Social Order." Every Catholic man, and woman, should po's. sess that, and read it. and study it ario distribute it. Give it to the Commun. ist and tell him to read it and see for himself whether that's dope! Tie Catholic condemnation of the very e vils he himself condemns, as well is of the remedy Communism propose3, And the Catholic remedy instea!, which happens to be God's remedy. That's the remedy Catholic men hav.e to proclaim. "Tell the Communist that if he wants justice. if Labour wants justice, they will get it just in so far as they support the code of moral law proclaimed by the Catholic Church. If the Catholic Church were in power they would get justice now. When she se in power, before the 'Reformation,' h,7 very power and independence were tl guarantee of the Labour man's arc-, tection." "If everywhere Catholic men were construction of society on the Pope's lines, in accordance with the true and just demands of human nature, in the end our statesmen would be compelled to listen and act. The Catholic body is now the most poowerful religious body in England. And its just demands for the working masses. wickl,. proclaimed, would have the support of every religious body that values aria, tian justice. "Live in a Catholic atmosphere, and you will live a consistent. practical Catholic life. And, then, all of you. go forth with that Catholic life," concluded Father Dudley, "and tell ti-.e world that though the Catholic Church is the enemy of Communism, yet she is the friend of Communists; that her hand is held out to all who are downtrodden and oppresed: and that human happiness comes not by defying human nature and the God Who made it, but by living that life He asks of us, and fighting for the itisti that is His."

CRICKET SOME INTERESTING FACTS. (By T. D. C.) in view of the visit of the English cricketers who are now touring the Commonwealth. and who will engage Australia in the first of five Test matches, on Friday, December 2, at Sydney, a few comments on the history of the game will be of interest to many readers. There has been much controversy, both as to the origin of the game and ei the word 'Cricket," but it can be regarded as of British origin, in that the game developed in England, as it id in no other European country. There is evidence of the game being - yasiote; schools in England Plaved By the 16th. and 17th. centuries. Guildford. in Surrey, and Winchester, in Hampshire were two schools at which the game found favour. Tbat part of England, known as The Weal, . comprising portion of the courtnee oi Kent. Surrey, Sussex, and Hamp shire. was the early home of the game. which spread rapidly, and early in the 18th. century was definitely included in the pupils' recreations. In 17(17 London had a team, and in :719 v..eat was practically the first ceuntv match took place. when "The Londoners" now Middlesex) met the n t i men." During the period, 1700 to 1750, the moat famous ground was the Artillery Ground at Pinsburg, which was leased to one George Smith. the host of the "Pyed Horse" Inn. On this ground, on June IS. 1744, was played the famous match. Kent v. An England the first game of which the fa score is preserved—the first to be enshrined in Scores and Autobiographf..1 of the game. It is interesting to note, as show,ng - ne changed conditions, that heavy stake money and side bets more Mae-, -.hail not depended on big matches It was a betting age, and cricket could not eacape Hamhledon, a little village in Hampshire. is often referred to by cricket historians as the "Cradle of Cricket." liamblefIon team included several players of extraordinary genius, and for 3C yeara challenged and kept at bay all comers defeating. in 1777, an English XI. by an innings and 168 runs. "Lords" (London), the ground of the Marylebone ('C. and the Mecca -1 all cricketers. was originally opened as a private ground by Thomas Lord. a Yorkshireman, who had lost his considerable property and had beanne ground bowler. Mr. Lord had a couple of moves before settling on the Present situation. The M. arylehone Club was founded in 1788. and that its authority was from the first accepted as paramount. is proved by its revision of the laws ot the game in the first year of its exratence It is still the world authority en cricket. but the control of International, or rather inter-Empire, tours now in the hands of the Imperial Cricket Cenference. which meets perwidically in London S ydney was the earliest cricket cett',e in Australia. The game was eseahlished there soon after the country was settled, and by 1880 Hobart, Melbourne. Adelaide. and Perth were converted. Brisbane was comparatively late in organising cricket The standard of cricket was low 'hen the first English team visited A ustralia in 1861-62. but from this date Progress was rapid, until, in March, h877, when the first Test match between England and Australia took place. The match was played in Melbourne, and Australia won by 45 runs. In 1878 the first Australian XI. vislted England, and it was then realised that the supremacy hitherto enjoyed by English cricket was seriously threatened. I•lo Test match was played by the 1878 team but the next team to visit England, in 1880. played and lost one Test match. Then, in 1882, at Kennington Oval, London, Australia won the Test match Which is regarded as the most famous "f all these games, a victory- celebrated rn the "Sporting Times."

Wholesome Reading That books are an index to character, is an aphorism often quoted, and frequently borne out by experience. It is a matter of history how favourably the chance reading of a good book has influenced the destinies of men. St. Augustine was impelled to alter the whole tenor of his life by the perusal of one single passage in the New Testament. The "Lives of the Saints" gave to St. Ignatius the noble inspiration which moulded not only his own life, but the lives of millions of his followers. . George Eliot, in that delightful novel, "The Mill on the Floss," reminds the world of the same truth. Through the chance reading of a few pages of the "Imitation of Christ," the heroine is led to perceive new vistas of spiritual life, that she had never dreamed of before. The Church has constantly been insistent on this point. She has always been the preserver and promoter of good literature. Not indeed that she has ever rejected the study of profane learning. The great Saints were not infrequently the most learned men of their age. The wise student knows how to draw lessons for good from the poets, prose-writers, historians and philosophers. He has an dye only for the good and the true in these authors, for he knows that whatever is best in the thoughts and ideas of great men must be in accordance with the teachings of the Gospel. Indeed, what is not in accordance is not literature. And that statement is borne out by the very definition of the word—which implies that literature is the expression of whatever is good and true And so the Church puband permanent in the thoughts of men. lishes an index of prohibitive books, forbidding Catholics, under Whatever is false or pain of grave sin, to sell or read them. vicious, or panders to passion, she rejects, and would have her children carefully avoid, knowing that the loss of such books is no hindrance to literary development, and a decided gain to the

Saturday, December 3, 1932. Sunday had a special festive chareesos, as if the Church wished to prepare ass hearts of the faithful for the holy itiw of the Christmastide. To-day's ROA reflects this same spirit. The Lord now is nigh and the thought of Tal coming fills the heart with joy. joy. however, is the fruit of that tenor peace, with which God fills lid souls of those who seek to do His hi* will, who practice that fidelity to the Divine commands, which is called !modesty by St. Paul, the exact measnre all virtue. This true peace of heart fortifies us against all outside fear mid perturbation, wherefore, with tike Church, we ask of God in the pram of the Mass. to bow down His ear es our supplications, and to dissipate the darkness of our minds with the spite. dour of His corning.

To-morrow (Sunday) is the Annual Gift Sunday at St. Vincent's Foundling Home, Subiaco. The Sisters of Mercy expect all their old friends (and many new ones to visit the Home to-morrow afternoon and bring some gifts for the "wee ones." Of all charitable causes perhaps none is more worthy of the support of the community at large than this. These poor little mites, innocent victims of unhappy eh, cumstances, must not be throwi. upon the hard, cold world and be allowed to drift into sickness or perhaps worse. The Sisters are doing noble, self-sacrificing work on their behalf; the laity are asked to co-operate. It is hoped that a very large attendance of practical supporters will visit the Home to-morrow: The prayers of the Sisters and their little charges will be wafted hea-venwards .each day, asking the blessing of God on all their generous benefactors. More than 100,000 people took part in the ceremonies of the Day of Propaganda for Retreats held at Kato vice, Silesia. It was a remarkable demonstration of the deep attachment of the Silesian people to the Catholic Church. The ceremonies began with two Solemn Masses, one celebrated in the Katowice Stadium by the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Marmaggi, for the Poles, and the other by Archbishop Sapieha in the great Exhibition Hall for the Germans. Telegrams were sent to the Holy Father, the President of the Republic, and the Primate of Poland. The principal object of the meetings was to foster the retreat movement all over Poland. be testivities ended with a great procession to the site of the new Cathedral of Katowice and the blessing of the cornerstone by Bishop Adamski • The blessing and opening of the new Church of the Sacred Heart, Mum daring, which was fixed for the 11th, of this month, has been postponed until January 22, 1933. Holy Mass will be celebrated on Sunday, 11th. inst.. at Mundaring at 8 o'clock, and at Mt. Helena at 9.30. a • • • Speaking at the annual Communion breakfast of the Christian Brothers' Old Boys' Association, at 'Rockhampton, last month, Mr Justice Brennan made a strong appeal for the cultivation of a healthy Australian sentiment. There are many Australians who are still colonials in spirit, who have not yet become conscious of the nationhood of their own country. The school, said his Honour, was the proper place to inculcate the Australian ideal. On taking over the portfolio of the Minister of Education he had found that the only schools teaching Australian sentiment were the Catholic schools, and he had complained of the lack of this teaching in the State schools. It was really only since the depression that the people had commenced to take an interest in Australia. He suggested that children should be taught to sing an Australian song every day.

Geraldton Notes St. Francis Xavier's Branch, HA.C.B.S. The usual fortnightly meeting of the above branch of the H.A.C.B.S. was held in the Cathedral Hall on November 17. Bro. President occupied the chair, and there was a good attendance of members. One new member was initiated into the Society by Bro. President. Bro. Mulligan reported that both challenges to debates issued to the C.Y.M.S. had been accepted by that Society, and also notified members that His Lordship the Bishop, Rt Rey. Dr O'Collins. would adjudicate at these debates. Two proposals of new members were received. Bro. Mulligan suggested that the syllabus item for the next meeting should be a threeminutes' speech for each member, each member to be allowed a free choice as to the subject for his speech. The syllabus committee agreed to adopt this suggestion for the syllabus item at the next meeting, instead of the table tennis evening which they had previously planned. Members were notified that material for new sashes had been ordered, and should soon be available. A pleasing little ceremony was then performed. when Bro. President, on behalf of the branch, wished farewell to one of our past presidents, in Bro. Albert Groessler, who is leaving shortly for Wiluna. Bros. Sullivan and Mulligan, in supporting Bro Parry's remarks, expressed the wish that Bro. Groessler would carry his Hibernian spirit with him to Wiluna. Bro. Groessler suitably responded, and assured members that he would do his best to foster Hibernianism in his new sphere. A date was then fixed for a meeting of the new social committee, and, there being no further businesthe meeting closed with the usual prayers.
Debates. On last Thursday evening, two teams from the H.A.C.B.S. met two teams from the C.Y.M.S. in debates. The subject for the junior debate was: "Should the Government Purchase the Midland Railway? The Hibernians were for the affirmative, the C.Y.M.S. the negative. The Hibernians won by 35 points. The Senior debate was "Tractors v. Horses." The Hibernians were in fav our of the Horses, and secured a win by the narrow margin of five points. Both debates were adjudicated by the Rt. Rev. Dr. O'Collins. who expressed his keen appreciation of the honour conferred on him, and complimented both societies on the ability of their representatives. The leaders of both teams thanked His Lordship for attending the debates, and for the clear way in which he an nounced the points for the various speakers. It is anticipated that several more debates will be held in the near future.

Death of Mother M. de Lourdes PONTIFICAL REQUIENI MASS AT SWANI3OURNE. On Thursday, the 24th. ult., at tha Hospital of St. John of God, the death occurred of a youthful member of the Loreto Institute, in the person of Mother M. de Lourdes. Though her death was not unexpected, her passing had come in the nature of a shock for the members of her Community, and of her family. The deceased Sister was only 21 years of age, and was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Flynn, of Bunbury. At an early age she was sent to Ireland, where she received her education at Loreto Abbey, Rathfarnham. At the conclusion of her studies, about two years ago. she answered the call of a religious vocation, and was accepted as a Postulant for the religious life at Rathfarnham. Before she had completed twelve months in the Novitiate her health began to give cause for anxiety to her Superiors, and accordingly she was given the privilege of returning to a Community of her Institute in her own native bracing climate of Western Australia. But God had apparently marked her out for Himself. After some months sojourn in the Goldfields, where it was vainly hoped the invigorating winter climate would restore her to health, her medical advisers recommended a rest cure at the Hospital of St. John of God, Subiaco. But nothing which skilful nursing or medical skill could do proved availing. While the worst fears for her recovery were entertained, her Superiors. realising the great ambition f her life, and appreciating her deep spirituality, afforded her the inestimable privilege of Religious Profeasice and she pronounced her sacred vows in the presence of His Grace the Archbishop about six weeks ago The sacrifice of her life was soon to be accepted by her Spouse. without any further probation, and she passed away peacefully on Thursday morning, the 25th. tilt the Feast of St. John of the Cross. Those who had come to know her, in her illness, could not fail to appreciate her patience and fortitude, and h r complete attitude of resignation. But above all was noticeable her charrnine personality, which never appeared more in evidence than during her illness. Her happy, peaceful death was in keeping with her life, and was an inspiration t o all those who must some day follow. Pontifical Requiem Mass for the re pose of her soul was celebrated or. Monday morning by His Grace the Archbishop, in the. Loreto Convent Chapel, Swanbourne. The coffin was placed at the entrance to the Sanctuary, and places were reserved for the chief mourners and for the clergy. The Priests' Choir rendered the sad solemn music of the Mass, and after the Mass His Grace the Archbishop pronounced the final Absolution. In a few touching words, His Grace referred to the angelic character of her whom they were about to consign to the grave He had occasion many times to notice her deep spirituality and cheerful acceptance of God's will. More especially was he struck by this trait in her character. when in his presence he made final profession of her holy vows. realising then that she was soon to pass to Him to Whom she had united herself. In her the Sisters of Loreto had lost a most edifying member, and her sorrowing parents an affectionate and loveable child. He tendered them both his deepest sympathy. The funeral took place later from the Convent to the private burial ground at Karnskatta.

The final count resulted in a definite verdict for the retiring Mayor, and now Mr. Leslie enters on his sixth successive year of office, and on his ninth year in all. It is very evident that Kalgoorlie is well satisfied with the work of Mr. Leslie, whose commanding presence and pow. ers of oratory are known far beyond the confines of the town over which Mr. Leslie's he is Chief Magistrate. success is greatly attributable to the excellent services of Mrs. Leslie as The final Mayoress of Kalgoorlie. count resulted as follows Leslie, B. 1.178; Hunt, P.

St. Ildephonsus' College, New Norcia CRICKET. On Sunday, November 27, the St. Ildephonsus' College first XI. added another victory to their already long list of successes, when they defeated a visiting team from Wa.nnasnal, by a fair margin. The College, winning the lass, allowed the visitors first use of the wicket, Brennan and T. Ferguson being the bowlers. The latter's trundling was ftecially treated with respect, many well pitched balls bumping up at uncomfortable heights. Scoring was slow, and at the luncheon adjournment the score was 5 for 80, with A. Cook, the opening batsman, still at the wicket, being partnered by the captain, A J. Lanigan. On the resumpthin of play, Cook began to hit wh:h vigour. and at 51 he was clean bowled by T. Ferguson, haying played over a Of the ball that broke in slightly. others, A. J. Lanigan and M.

With five wickets down for a modest 37. the prospects of a victory seemed However, A. Bandy rather remote. and T.

KINDNESS. Man has one power in particular, which is not sufficiently dwelt on.

The power is called kindness.—F. NV. Faber. THE LORD BE WITH YOU. So the "The Lord be with you." priest repeatedly greets the people at Mass. It is a very ancient greeting, going back to the times of the early Christians and beyond. Through all these ages it has not lost any of its original meaning. The priest in wishing that the Lord be with the faithful, wishes them every blessing, for where the Lord is there is all good. He wishes them above all the grace to pray ell during Holy Mass, for to pray well is to live well, and to live well is to have the Lord always with one. The priest emphasises his wish with the meaningful gesture of open hands and extended arms, showing thereby that his good wishes, which are at once, prayers, are for all. The people answer through the servMay our er: "And with thy spirit." returned be merely greeting not through the server, but come simultaneously from our hearts. BROTHERLY LOVE.

WORK FOR THE FAITH.-
The centenary of the laying of the foundation stone of Holy Trinity Church, Cork, was observed on Saturday and Sunday, 7th. and 8th of October, with special ceremonial by tne Capuchin community. On Saturday there was High Mass at 10 a.m. at which his Grace the Archbishop of Simla, Most Rev. Dr. Kenealy, presided. The surroundings of the church were bright with flags and bunting, and the high altar was beau tifull V decorated. On Sunday the church was crowded when High Mass commenced at noon His Lordship the Bishop of,Cork presided, and the Archbishop of Simla wa:. the preacher.
matter of education could not reach beyond providing schools for poor chi!. dren The consolidation of the intellectual life of the province he had to leave, like his church, to his successors.
Most Rev. Dr. Kenealy, in the course of an eloquent address, said it was just a hundred years ago that Father Theobald Mathew was able to lay the foundation stone of that church. It was a great day for Cork. It saw the first religious procession any man, of that generation had seen. The civic authorities and leading personalities of the city were present. To emerge from the insignificant chapel in Blackamoor Lane to the site on Charlotte Quay must have given the Catholics of those times something of the feelings the early Christians had when they passed from the catacombs into t he light of day. Father Mathew was 42 years of age at the time, and had been in the sacred ministry more than 19 years. He had 10 years previously been named Provincial of the small Franciscan Capuchin families in Ireland. It was, therefore, no more flight of the imagination to picture him as feeling and saying: "Now the Lord our God hath given us a little rest round about, and there is no adversary or evil occurrence to stop us; wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my "As an ex-Provincial myself," said Dr. Kenealy, "I feel that two things must have exercised Father Mathew's mind in his responsible position. They were, first, of course, due provision for the worship of God, and next, the development of a young Province along the lines of spiritual and intellectual life. "To few men is it given to see the realisation of their plans. But. if some have to sow often in tears, it is a comfort to know that. with God's blessing, those that come after reac with joy. - "To every Friary Church there was attached the religious house where the Fathers and Brothers carried on their holy vocation of study and prayer for their own enlightenment and sanctification, and to fit them for the service of the faithful. There were no cloisters in Blackamoor Lane. Father Arthur O'Leary. who built the original chapel. got his education at St. Maio. It remains an abiding wonder to us of this generation how the authorities in the Church succeeded in providing priests and religious in Ireland under the circumstances of a century ago. "Why,- said his Grace, "it is only 101 years, i.e., 1831, since Stanley's Education Bill allowed a priest to give periodical instruction in our otherwise Godless schools. I doubt if there is another example in the history of the w orld like that of Ireland, where, when Catholic education was proscribed, the hedge schools provided not only what every good Catholic parent wanted for his children, religious knowledge, but also secular education by which scholars could construe and repeat their Homer and Virgil. as well as, if not better than, the frequenters of the institutions of 'an alien culture. I can visualise Father Mathew, in moments of thoughtful leisure, wondering what he could do to attach the regular life of a Friary to his church." Father Mathew's successors had made a dream of his come true, and attached to his church is the Friary where, as far as circumstances allow, the beautiful story of the lives of the 17th. century Friars is repeated again in their midst.

SACRIFICE "If you've no objection I'll sleep on Farmer Burnham thrust aside it." the papers spread on the table before him. Mr. Ransome nodded, red-faced, stolid, he loomed large in his rough tweeds. "As you like, George, but I thought 'twas settled, my son's been married a month, and wants to get a home of his own.' Burnham looked around the large parlour with its heavy furniture, faded prints and raftered ceiling, as if he were at bay before an enemy. his gnarley hands clenched the arms of his A tine old man with thick chair. white hair above a ruddy big-featured face, from which burned brilliant blue eyes.

She and Thomas Marn had been engaged for years. lie, possess. ing that estimable quality—caution-vowed his .farm would need ever* penny the first few years, so Molly commenced to save to provide the linen and furnishings for their home. Yet it was she who postponed the wedding to nurse her parents. Later came Burnham's illness, 01 even T homas lost patience. "With your little nest-egg we can "Of course, it manage,- he urged. you don't want to marry me—well. there are other girls!"

" 'Narfternoon, Miss Molly,' he spoke with the respectful familiarity of an old servant. "So. Mr. Mike is home? Pity things is like they be with him! Master counted on him to save the farm." "But he isn't home; he only wrote, Balthom." "Why, yes. miss, I seed and spoke to him, down in the village. 'Peared to me he hadn't two pennies to rub together." "I'm going through the village," she said. "I may meet Mike. Don't tell Mr. Burnham yet." "No, miss, trust me," Balthom turned in at the farm gate. The village was practically deserteo as Molly hurried down the narrow High-street to the tiny bank, where, to the amazement of the manager, she withdrew a hundred pounds of her sayings. Within a few hours it was rumoured that Miss golly was buying her trousseau at last. Emerging from the bank she nearly collided with Ransode's daughter, Rosa, her smart redi leather coat and hat setting off her somewhat blatant charms. Molly suddenly became conscious of her shabby The mack and muddy wellingtons. girl's sharp glance slid over her. Rosa was accounted fast amongst the village matrons, yet she contrived to make Molly feel inferior, as she bounced merrily away in her own little car. while Molly trudged afoot. To save time she turned from the road on to a footpath across the fields A small, modern to Thomas's farm. mellow house without Rushmere's charm. She passed around to the ever open back door which, to her surprise, she found locked. Returning to the front. she knocked, waiting with an uneasy feeling that she was being inspected from behind the close-drawn muslin window curtains. At last slow footsteps, the grate of a bolts and Thomas stood squarely in the doorway, a big young man, with high colour and dark eyes. Molly read guarded embarrassment in his manner. He thrust a gaitered leg before Shot. Certainly she was not welcome. "Don't let that dog into the house: he'll mess up everything!" he said. " Yes, we are rather wet." Molly apologised; "but I had to see you.' "Don't tell me you've come to put it off again." he said, with heavy sar. casm. Molly hesitated, suddenly realising that her quixotic impulse to help Burnham affected Thomas as well as herself. Her distressed glance passed him into the hall, and—was caught by the flaunting scarlet leather coat thrown across a chair. She knew only one coat like it--Rosa! "There are always other girls!" the words sprang into her mind. She forced her eyes hack to him. "No, only, that I've lost my savings." it was a test even now he could destroy the evidence of that hateful coat He spoke. "Well, if that's so, that about finishes it!" In Molly's gentle nature was a streak of pride, obstinate pride, like Burn. ham's. She felt the slight more than t he pain on her wounded feelings at Thomas's intimation that he no longer desired her without the nest-egg. Drawing from her finger the cheap little ring, she dropped it into his half reluctant hand and, followed by Shot, retreated from the scene of her humiliation, She felt bruised and tired. Hoping to regain composure she turned from the fields out upon the open cliffs, where with the damp wind blowing saitly in her face she looked down upon a grey troubled set. The plaintive cry of the gulls wheeling and dipping overhead struck a responsive chord in her troubled spirit. Their scattered feathers, thick on the coarse grass, fluttered like dying butterflies round her feet. She sank down ctast,. ing her knees, while Shot rolled deliriously. Composure returned, as it always did in this lonely spot, seemitw so remote from every.day cares, and with it a sense almost of relief. "Better now than after I had married him," she told herself, though at the moment she thought she had re. flounced all her hopes and happiness to assist Burnham. How, she wondered, could she persuade him to accept the hundred pounds. "It's going to be difficult." she murmured. looking round as Shot's short
