He was gratified to see such a large congregation at the morning Mass, which they were privileged to have celebrated in their own Rite. A very pleasing feature of the morning's function was the attendance of 150 persons at Holy Communion. He trusted they would always be faithful children of the Church.

The Balance Shwt. Father Moloney then read the balance sheet, which showed a total debt of £1,031 10s, made up as follows: School building, £834 10s; seating and other church expenses, £166; old debt and current interest, YAO. Considering that the building contains four class-rooms, a porch, and covered-in verandah, the expenses were very moderate. Two of the classrooms measure 33 feet by 22 feet, and the other two are each 22 feet square. The verandah measures 45 feet by 10, and the centre porch 14 feet square. An Excellent Response. While Father Moloney was reading the balance sheet, the collectors were busy receiving donations, and there was an excellent response to His Grace's appeal. About £115 altogether was collected in conneztion with the function. A number of functions connected with the debt, which will terminate at Xmas, will lessen the amount considerably. Father Moloney then called upon Rev. Father Gorey, C.SS.R., to propose a vote of thanks to His Grace the Coadjutor Archbishop. The Vote of Thanks. Father Gorey said that he felt he was expressing the feelings of all the people of Osborne Park, in proposing a vote of thanks to His Grace, for honouring the function by his presence, and for blessing and opening their new school. In expressing thanks to His Grace, he could not but congratulate their energetic parish priest, Father Moloney, whose record of work reminded him of Alexander, the famous greek General, who, at his death, had no more lands to conquer. Father Moloney was still a young man, but he had practically completed all there was to be done in Leederville. He could fully appreciate the pleasure which it gave His Grace to open a new school, for a Catholic school was the greatest bulwark against Communism and Bolshevism. Without a truly religious atmosphere, edu cation could never be complete, for religion was the most essential part of a child's training. It was a pity that t hose who ruled the destiny of the nation did not fully r ealise this. It would solve most of the social problems which confronted them. Catholics realised it, and made many sacrifices to uphold the principle—such as was witnessed in Osborne Park that day. He had ex-
