All Honour to Christ the King From the Blacks at Lombadina Mission, North-West Australia
The last two years have indeed been a very strenuous period at the Sacred Heart Mission, Lombadina, and without a doubt the keast of Christ the King this year was heralded with mucn joy and satisfaction, when the beautiful church was consecrated anu Perdedicated to Christ the King. haps it is so that the poor despised blacks of Lumbauma have the hunoui of having the first Church in Australia dedicated to Christ the King, and 1 am very sure the King of Kings showered many graces upon those poor people on tnat great nay, as only He knows what tremendous work entailed the building of this hne edifice, and at A few years practically no expense. ago, I could safely say six or seven years ago, these blacklellows were of the ordinary type of black, with no knowledge of work and ever the desire for fishing, hunting and cuppa-cuppa, and, of course, always ready to answer the dining-hall bell. The little corrogated iron church, which was suffering In.= senile decay, and much too small for the congregation, was like a little oven during tne summer months, or practically nearly It had done all through the year. duty for over twenty years, and was A new church had past redemption. to be provided for the King of Kings, but the means and help to build it were nil. What was to be done? It did not require much thinking our Rev. Father Augustine, with his undaunted courage and untiring zeal was soon to the fore, and called his men from their fishing and hunting and told them now they were to prove they were Christians at heart and build a church. They knew right well how to put a few sticks in the ground and a bit of paperbark on them and make it sufficiently large enough for them in which to take their niehr lodging, but a church for their "t .: dear Master" (good, dear God) was Rev. Father was satanother thing. isfied work must be started at once. so he headed the band of would-be workers, and tramped miles, mostly seven miles distance from the mission. under the scorching tropical sun. Perhaps not many, even of our Australians. can realise what it means to be walking about the Nor'-West bush, where the very sand seems to set fire to the boots on one's feet and sends shooting flames of feverish heat up all over the body, not to say anything of the unquenchable thirst, for every drop of drinking water must be carried. Day after day they tramped, found and felled suitable trees, and kept the young boys busy with the donkey team cartThe dra• ing them into the Mission. used for the purpose was much too small, but it was the only vehicle procurable, so the logs had to be attached to it by chains and dragged along. Sometimes it so happened that the trees were felled just where the tide comes in, so that was very comfortable for the workers and gave much fun and amusement to the girls. They went down for their swim, and as the tide was coming in swam back with pushing the logs in front of them. This brought the logs to just a quarter of Rey a mile or less to the Mission. Father remained in the bush with his He said Holy men for some time. Mass in the mornings wherever they were camping. On one occasion, when Rev. Father returning the Mission found himself stuck in the mud, waist deep. His men, after much difficulty, and you may be sure much laughter. as they generally see the funny sid of things on such occasions, had hir extricated. He was none the worse for his experience, except that he w caked in mud like chocolate and found that he was not light-headed hut lIotht footed, as the mud had pulled the soles 1,nots when he was being pulle ,-(*c out. They had many experiences with snakes while out, and had great excitement and much difficulty one day in killing a one-eyed snake, six feet long. While out in the bush the fon() generally consisted of bread and teand kangaroo. On a few occasions meat was brought out from the Mission. Once when the boys were sent in for supplies. Sister prepared a chicken for Rev. Father. After preparing it very tastily, she put it and the soup into a glass jar, then packed it in a tin with two bottles of milk and the other supplies sent for. The boys had the packs on the donkey this day. They had not returned by dark, so Rev Father and his men retired to their blankets for the much needed rect and sleep. Later on they were awakened by the noise of the boys and the don-
keys. returning. They gut up ane took the packs off the donkey. Next morning, after Mass, Rev. Pather looked in the tin to see what goodies he might be having for breakfast. Not a f east for a king met his eyes, for what he saw was a pot-pourri of broken glass, soup, sour milk, legs and bones, aria chicken flesh, and soap suds, etc. Ot course, donkey-like, the donkey had taken his own way going out and bumped and rubbed against every available tree, and the result was a donkey mixture. Such is the way with the donkeys here, at least, when one disap proves of anyone on its back, it bumps and rubs him against the trees, ann the rider is forced to dismount, and away goes the donkey as much as to say, "I am no ass to be carrying folk.' Now, to go back to the work in the bush once more. When a sufficient number of posts were securel, Rev Father and his men returned, and next he was seen taking his turn at the saw and showing his workers how to saw the timber into planKs suitable tor the building.

He would take the saw and say, with unceasing vigour. Rev.

This was not so hard for liras he had carefully studied his men and led them by kindness. The women folk spent weeks in the bush selecting and gathering sheets of paperbark for the roof. Besides tun her and paperbark, they had to procure iron caps for the piles, and as there were no means wherewith to buy the iron, they had to have recourse tc old disused tanks from the windmills, and cut the required pieces from then. From the commencement there seemed always to be obstacles and difficulties arising to curtail the work. The well, 40 feet deep, used for domestic purposes, fell in, so Rev. Father They had to go there with his men. did not understand how to make things right there, so Rev. Father again had to show them how to take away the debris and to put in new piles. This took about six weeks of precious time and labour, but the result was most gratifying. At this time there was a Professor here doing research and when he saw all the difficulties he got a fit of the blues and departed. Then the rain season came on to stop all outside work, and with the rain the garden and farm had to be planted Both places had to be refenced, and the men had to go out twelve miles away and take down a fence and bring it home and then do the fencing. This was no sooner finished when the tank at a windmill, four miles away, at least: on six different occasions, persisted in breaking away, so the men harl to wend their way there, so that the cattle would be provided with water. The edifice is a real tropical building, opening up on all sides. Altogether there are twelve doors. The walls are of corrogated iron, and the sanctuary has its walls and floor of jarrah. This is the only material that was bought for the building. A Bro-

He could have saved but as he had only boiling water at hand he thought it would make ti' fire worse, so he let it do its wo, Since then he hoped always a chance would come his way to make amends. so he said he was now happy to see church in Lombadina finished, no matter how hard the work had been fo him.

It was sent through the Sisters of Mercy, Brougham-street, North Melbourne. It came from some church in the vicinity 01 Melbourne, 1 think.

He said that without doubt everyone, man, woman and child on the Mission had taken an active part in helping to build the church On Sunday morning a procession was formed at the old church, and wended its way to the new, when the consecration and dedication took place, follow. ed by a sermon, by the Right Rev.

Not any worth of mine I trust. Nor love that I have given Thee. But Thy sweet spirit in my dust, Thy love that is in me. From travel in the dusty ways.

the final issue becomes so ed that not two, but almost complicat every /Ia.. tion, is affected. And all the time the ceaseless talk goes on. Conferences and "Conversations." How intelligent men can up and propose abolishing, or get even limiting, aerial warfare, or bacteriological or gas warfare, is beyond comprehension. History is one long proof of how hopelessly impotent these agreements, treaties, and pacts are in time of war. The Treaty of Neutrality was only one, and . . well every child knows what was said of that. And still they stand up at Geneva and at home and make these futile statements and suggestions. What country is going to be bound by any agreement made with an enemy nation five, ten, t wenty years before. There is a new generation holding the reins—do you think they will refrain from aerial warfare if it will be of any gain to them? They'd be fool if they did; they'd only be beaten to it by their enemy. . . .
The next few years will be momentous ones for the Young Generation. The questions vexying the world today must reach a climax in the near future—that is rather obvious; but what is really alarming is that each one of them is like a giant octopus with tenacles reaching into every corner of the world, into every sphere of life, and there is every possibility that unless these problems are settled pacifically, there will be a flareup and another massacre.

Annual Communion Breakfast at Midland Junction
( By REV. A. J. MILLS, BA.) There- is a society existing in our midst which has proved its capacity by its highly intelligent method of propaganda, its independence of public opinion, and its invincible perseverIts ance in the face of opposition. knowledge of the psychology of the people is indicated by the clever means it adopts to propagate its ideas. With deliberate determination, it sets out to gain its end by a slow process of education through subtle methods of dissemination. This society is an outstanding example of the power of a movement sufficiently determined to win popular support and gain conversions to its creed. The fact that it is a false philosophy does not detract from the efficiency of its methods, nor its illustration of the power of the propagation of ideas when spread by adequate organisation This society is the Communistic party of Australia, in direct and close affiliation with Moscow, whose chief representative is the only Australian member of the world executive of the Communist party of Russia. From Moscow they have received explicit instructions to enter the Labour par and capture it from within—a policy with relentless determination they have in the past pursued, and are at this moment equally unflinching in attempting to realise their end. Some two thousand trained Communists (according to estimation) are propagating Communistic principles amongst the people of Australia by a process slow, but sure permeation, which they describe as the process of the "cell.' Taking an occasion by the adverse social conditions, having rushed to the conclusion that Capitalism, in its essence, is wrong, as demonstrated the world economic tangle, the Communistic party are winning wide sup. port. They move deliberately step by step towards their end, undeterred by reverses, calculatingly organisine their tactics against the capitalistic enemy, so as to fan the flame of revolution. We cannot doubt that the Communists in Australia have the identical end that has been put into effect in Russia to-day. They are only waiting for the occasion to bring about the social disruption necessary to establish the Soviet State. One thing at present it appears they lack which may at any time he supplied—the advocacy of an intelligencer. who, imbued with the fallacies of Marx, devoted keen intellectual capacity to the propagation of socialistic ideas. To the unanalytical mind the Communistic remedy for the social malady of the times appears to be the only scientific and effective plan. Those who worship a defeat of human reason contend that it is the ideal system, because being superficial they are attracted by the cult of the obvious This mathematical method of organising society offers specious claims for consideration, 'because being stereotyped and based upon a merely natural conception of human nature, the disregard of which must _involve failure of the Communistic system were it ap The Communists propagandist is nothing if he is not a psychologist. He is the last person in the world to believe in an inherent wisdom enshrined in the mass of the people. He does not aim, as it were, of extracting from the mass mind a philosophy of life; he is using the people as a means to the end of a government under which people, while ostensibly ruling, are reall• subservient, The Communist policy is a policy of education. It is the influence of a minority. The minority of fervent revolutionaries who by their persistent appeal, by their tradim upon the popular susceptibilities, by their skilfully offered enticements of an ideal State they play upon the unreasoning minds of the mentally untrained, firing them with a kind of secular zeal for a merely secular ideal. The success of their propaganda depends upon the decline of faith, since faith is the great bulwark against a materialis ed social state. Communism will develop, first in the degree that social materialisation comes about, and se( ondly according to the increase of the sufferings due to the present econornit disruption. We need to meet the Communist with his own weapons, to launch a counter-move against his propaganda amongst the very people whom he would win. There is grave danger that if we do not win over the workers to a sane philosophy, to a sense of the importance of faith, to an understanding of the true foundations of society and the State, they will be won by a Communistic party which is pursuing WE its ends with phonetical zeal. must propagate those principles of ocial science based upon the natural
law, which is the law of God. We must emphasise the unalienable nature of those rights which the Communist would destroy. We must define the Divine constitution of society and its spiritual nature as composed of a corporate union of spiritual beings. Above all, we must emphasise the inherent nature of man as moral and spiritual in contrast to that materialistic definition which is the philosophical basis of the Communistic state. Certainly we must convince the people of the fallacy of a system condemned by the infallible Church and violating human nature; but is that all? It may sound a paradox to affirm that the best way to propagate Communism is to denounce it. that the surest way of increasing the number of its adherents is to launch an assault upon it, if at the same time no constructive policy is set forth, no effective remedy is applied to the sufferings of the present • time. Peopit. will not be deterred from endorsing a social policy which expresses 'hem as an efficaciouG, cure of their ills by mere denunciation of the = vstem, and their attitude is based upon a certain justice. If no party can offer an adequate remedy, the people cannot be blamed for adopting the only remedy offered, even though it may be clutching at a straw. There is required a constructive programme based upon indisputably true principles, which is a step towards the elimination of the Communist danger. It seems that only one absolute effecttive means can prevent the ultimate creation of a Communistic state, i.e the application of radical reforms which adequately correct the causes of the present social distress. People are saying that society is characterised by abuses and disabilities, which explain the present abnormal conditions. Communism provides one remedy, but the wrong. Those who are moved by strong convictions of faith and hold the grip of inviolable principles of the natural law, must provide the true remedy a remedy expressive of a true nhychology of justice and of chant' of the law of God —•
MIDLAND JUNCTION CHILDREN OF MARY, On Sunday, December 18. those among the parishioners of Midland Junction who appreciate music, experienced a treat when the Children of Mary very capably rendered "Concone's" Mass, which, under the direction of one of the Sisters, they had carefully prepared for the occasion. It was an inspiring and edifying sight to see such a number of young women and girls, clad in the livery of Our Blessed Lady, approaching the altar rails to receive Our Lord previous to celebrating their first annual Communion breakfast. To many in the church it must have recalled the bright ideals which they themselves, cherished in youth, but which, alas, in many cases became tarnished in tho conflict with the world. A fter Mass, the members of the Sodality, still in regalia, adjourned to the School Room, which was tastefully and daintily decorated. In the place of honour was the statue of Our Blessed Lady, amidst masses of flowers From the ceiling hung the long' blue and white streamers, which mingled with and matched the cloaks and veils of the girls. The tables, too, with all their appointments, bespoke the same delioacv of taste, for there, shining silver and glass gleamed between masses of blue hydrangeas. On entering the room one was immediately struck by the atmosphere of quiet refinement which pervaded the place.

The modern anxiety for re-union of the Churches, even at the cost of abandoning doctrinal teachings, is playfully treated by Father Ronald Knox, in the following of his Essays in Satire. He points out how re-union of contradictory sects may be eventually effected by sacrificing whatever principles in doctrine or discipline previously divided them.

Religion and Common Sense The public press is the only organ of infallibility which the modern mind acknowledges. Yet there was never a period when such loosen-:is of tLonght was perpetrated upon the world. There was never such a volume of talk, or self expression, but of close It r easoning on cons;stunt contY-Jversy- thcre was never less. may be true that scr.sationalkm, regarcles:3 of truth, appeals to the majority of reader z but it is a poor rAection on the principles of the Press to make expediency the grounds of its policy. The baneful effects of such a policy are nowhere more felt than in the discussion of matters dealing with faith and morals, and in this matter, Protestant theology is ase much to blame as the Pagan Press. •

P.
If Church or creed or Christianity are to have any meaning, it must be, that they proclaim a definite code of doctrine for our belief, and a consistent code of morals for our practise. The very word religion—from ligare to bind—demands a definite teaching, and implies complete submission to it, without allowing for any alternative or compromise. Many people have lost this true conception of the binding force of religion. Yet it was precisely on this principle that Christianity was first promulgated. "He that believeth and is baptised, shall be saved, he that believeth not shall be condemned." And again, "He that will not hear the Church, The unlet him be to thee as the heathen and the publican." changeable revelation which God gave to mankind, constituted a definite body of teaching, which He placed in the keeping of the Church He founded, to secure its integrity. That Revelation was completed in the time of the Apostles. and there has never been any diminution or increase in doctrine since. This was due to the Divine authority of the Catholic Church, which knew what to teach, and knew what degree of submission to exact. • It is the rejection of this infallible, and Divinely appointed authority, that has caused such confusion in contradictory churches ever since the Reformation. It was inconsistent to reject some doctrines, without tolerating the possibility of rejecting all. And that is exactly what has happened. In the anxiety of the defecting churches for unity and solidarity, they are willing to sacrifice doctrine for discipline, and morals for material prestige. The Anglican Bishop of Goulburn, in his statement on Intercommunion. at the recent Anglican Synod, is quoted as follows: "Intercommunion does not require from either communion the acceptance of all doctrinal opinion, sacramental devotion, or liturgical practise characteristic of the other, but implies that each believes the other to hold the essentials of the Christian faith." • It would appear from this that all doctrines are not essential, and that a communicant may follow his own bent in the matter of belief, provided that belief includes a few "essentials"—but what those essentials are, not even the Church concerned, is capable of coming to a definite conclusion. The Catholic Church has always set before itself the unity ot. Churches as the ideal of Christianity and of charity. But she can Nor have nothing to do with a unity that is merely superficial. can she herself, or any other Church be misled, by the adoption of those terms which stand for Catholicity. • A priest is not a priest unless he he validly ordained, nor is a Church a Catholic Church. unless it believes what Catholics believe, and practises what Catholics practise.

The object of the Church in instituting this feast, was to keep before the minds of her children the sacredness of the Name of Jesus, and to make atonement for the irreverent use of it. St. Paul tells us that God gave Our Lord "a name which is above all names: that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth."

From the fourth century the Feast of the Epiphany, or Manifestation of Our Lord, has been regarded as one of tns greatest of the Church's solemnities Three events of the life of Christ are commemorated on this day, the Manifestation of the Infant Saviour to the _wise men from the East, the Baptism of Our Lord at the hands of John the Baptist, and the first miracle worked by Our Lord, the changing of t)water into wine at the marriage feast at Cana.

Barbara d'Ailleboust founded, at Montreal. "The Association of the Holy Family." The devotion spread rapidly throughout Canada, and Monsignor Laval, then Bishop of Quebec. established in his diocese a feast of the Holy Family, with a proper Mass and Office. In 1893 Pope Leo XIII. gave his approval to the Association, and himself composed the hymns for the Office of the feast. The Epistle and Gospel of the Mass are the same as those of the 1st. Sunday after the Epiphany. The Gospel narrates the losing of the Child Jesus. the finding of Him among the Doctors in the Temple. and the return to Nazareth, where He "became subject to them," and "advanced in wisdom, and age, and. grace with God and man." The object of the Feast is beautifulls expressed in the Collect of the Mass: "0 Lord Jesus Christ, who becoming subject to Mary and Joseph, didst hallow home life by singular virtues, by the help of both, do Thou grant that we may be taught by the example of Thy Hole Family, and have fellowship with it for evermore."
\Veber's "Mass in G" and a sermon. Christmas number, founded on a Ger• man hymn of the 16th. century, were sung by the choir, under the leadership of Mr. Sydney Smith, with "Adeste Fidelis" as an Offertory Prior to the Mass, Mrs. Sydney Smith sang "The Star of Bethlehem," and other soloists were Misses K. Brennan and E. Hart, and Messrs. P. Roxby and S. Lynch. The organist was Mr. A. Taylor. Masses were celebrated at 7 ani., 9 a.m., 10 a.m., and 11 a.m. on Christmas Day, the 11 o'clock service being Solemn High Mass, at which the Archbishop presided. The celebrant was the Rev.

Report for the Year 1932. We esteem ourselves extremely fortunate in having His Lordship Dr. 0^CoHills with us to-day, on the occasion of our annual break-up, and we wish to extend to His Lordship, to Rev. Father O'Collins, S.J., and to Rev. Father Murphy our sincere thanks for their presence and their conWe tinued interest in the school. also wish to extend a hearty welcome to the parents and friends of the children. The year has been a most encouraging one. The number of resident stte dents has risen, while that of the day school has remained normal. The outstanding event of the year has been the recognition of our College by the Education Department of Western Australia as a Secondary School at which Government Scholarships are tenable. The scholastic standard has been maintained, and was commented on very favourably by the Director of Education in Western Australia, Mr. Wallace .Clubb, during his visit of inspection in connection with the registration of the College as a Secondary He expressed great satisfacSchool. tion at the spacious class rooms and equipment of the schools and at the accommodation for boarders which includes a large sleeping-out balcony. The results in the Christian Doctrine and Leaving and Junior University examinations have been satisfactory, as also those in the Alliance Francaise. the Austra4an Music Examination Board, and .the Trinity College, London, passes having been gained in several cases with honours, in Piano, Violin. Theory of Music and Elocution. The Commercial exams. have been equally successful. A pleasing feature of the school work this year has been the formation of classes in Domestic Science, a branch of study in which the girls are keenly interested, and judging from the tempting array prepared for the break-up display, they have made good progress. The needlework section has also re. ceived special attention, and many of the students are able to make their own day and evening frocks with excellent finish. The religious training of the stu dents has been well responded to, and for the spirit of religious fervour, faith in our holy Religion, and exactness in fulfilling its obligations, our warmest thanks are due to Rev. Father O'Collins. S.J., who has devoted much time to religious instructions in the schools The pupils are privileged in being so near the Cathedral, thus being able to ,participate in the beautiful ceremonies' of the Church. During the Year the school was hon oured by a visit from the wife of the Premier of West Australia, Lady Mitchell, who evinced great surprise at the large and well equipped schools. Lady Mitchell wishad that a medal, be known as the Lady Mitchell Medal. should be presented each year to the girl who showed greatest application to study. In sport our teams have been unusually successful, having carried off the laurels in all the outside matches in which they played.

We take this opportunity of specially thanking His Lordship Dr. O'Collins for the interest he has taken in the children- -in their spiritual welfare, their school work and their sport. and also for the gold medal which he so generously and thoughtfully donated for Christian Doctrine. In conclusion, we wish to extend to all present the Season's Greetings of a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

The report told of activities in school work, sport, music, elocution and in spiritual works, but if all subjects were as satisfactory as those in which His Lordship came in contact, then the Nuns had every reason to be proiol and fathers and mothers every reasoo to be satisfied. His Lordship wa, specially pleased that Domestic Arts were receiving attention. There was a time when girls who went to college considered it beneath them to learn to cook and work in the home, so it is a pleasing fact that the girls have taken up this work, and the Nuns are doing the girls a very great service in having this class, and in preparing girls not only to pass examinations, but to be able to keep His Lordship a home in after life. said he noticed in a report of the Ladies' Methodist College in Perth they were considering the establishment of classes to do what has been done here for the past year. It was a matter el-TAMPION BASKET BALI. TEAM, 1932. for congratulation that the Nuns were wise enough to install -such a class, and to hear the children have met with success during the year.

Let us serve God; He will most assuredly take care of trs, and we shall be in want of nothing. All that is of this world is nothingness or vanity, which quickly passes away and disappears for ever. Remember that every experience of life, bitter or sweet, gives us a chance to learn a lesson. It is good to learn all you can. But all knowledge is ' harmful unless it helps you to love God. Happy is the youth, because he has -time before him to do good. The good God often sends His servants several crosses and much interior dryness, in order to prove whether they are capable of helping Him to bear His Cross before giving them the treasures of His grace. Remember that you have only one soul: that you can die but once; that you have but one short life; that there is but one glory, and that eternal; and this thought will detach you from mane thisgs Spirit of St. Teresa.

Tor the corruptible body is a load ueon the soul," is that incentive to evil with which we are born. Our greatest enemy is within us and wages continual war against us. We are not, therefore, to wonder at out being tempted. For since we are children of Adam and "have been conceived in iniquity," how can we be exempted from temptations, or how can we hinder our evil inclinations from making .war continually against us! And. therefore. St. Jerome observes that in the prayer Our Saviour taught us. He does not bid us beg of God to have no temptations. for that is impossible; but only that He woUlrl tic suffer us to fall or sink under them So also He taught His disciples, wnen He said to them, "Watch ve, and pray that ye enter not into temptation." SPEAK KINDLY. Soft words soften the soul, Angts words add fuel to the wrath, and make it blaze more fiercely. Cold words freeze people and hot words scorch them. Bitter words make them bitter, and 'wrathful words make theewrathful. There is such .a tremee dolts rush of words in our day that it is especially desirable for each oss of us to see to it that kind words have their chance among others. There are vain words and idle words. silly words and warlike words. Don't forget, the kind words. They produce their image in men's souls, and a beautiful image it is to be sure. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. Why not let them have a larger share in all our lives? ommimairoormon

An apology was demanded. lie caused bills with the following cot-rection to be posted in the hoardings in the town: "I said that half of the town coun. cillors are fools. I now declare that half of the town councillors are not fools." The missionary smiled benevolently on the native tribe around him. "I will cure them all of cannibalism," he said, hopefully, as he retired to his hut. There he was shortly afterwarcls joined by a native. "The king has sent me to dress you for dinner," sair. the man. " Ah," smiled the missionary. "How thoughtful of him! You are the rova' valet. I suppose?"

The teacher, with a shocked expression on her face, said: "Oh. Timothy, 1 haven't a pencil!" A sympathetic look crossed the small boy's face, and he replied: "Ye ain't either? Well, we're both in the same fix, ain't we?" The charity worker called at the irs and was shown into the master'E study. "I've come to ask if you'll subscribt to this deserving charity" she roe menced. "Certainly," said the householder "I'll give you this cheque now."
