PERTH, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1938.
SIXTY-FIFTH YEAR.
Tasmanian Treasurer's Act of Faith IMPRESSIVE WORDS AT HOLY NAME BREAKFAS1 Magnificent is the only phrase to apply to the impressive protest by the men of Hobart and suburbs to the holding of the anti-God Congress in London. The annual mass Communion of these men, five hundred of whom attended at St. Mary's Cathedral, Hobart, was offered in reparation for the blasphemous insult to God. After Mass these men marched in procession through the streets of that city to the City Hall, where Communion breakfast was served. Deeply impressive addresses were made, notable among which were those by the Archbishop of Hobart (Most Rev. Dr. J. Simonds) and the State Treasurer, the Hon. E. Dwyer -Gray. T the breakfast in the Hobart City Hal, following the Mass. at -.vhich five hundred m‘n rec2;--ed Holy Communjon in a body, pride in the Catholic Faith was impressively expressed by the Acting Premier of Tasmania, the Hon. E. Dwyer -Gray, who is also the State Treasurer and Minister for T ransport.
No Secret.
"I have often stated publicly that I am proud of being a Catholic," he said. "and I was never more proud of being a Catholic than I am this morning. I have never made any secret of my real attachment to the Catholic Faith. As a public man. I have not lost anything through an open acknowledgment, but, on the contrary, gained the respeet of the community and the
esteem of the sincere, no matter what
their beliefs. It is no doubt, an interesting and important thing to be Acting Premier of Tasmania, Treasurer of the State, and Minister for Transport, and to discharge the duties of those offices together with a kw other functions, that is, so far as any of the merely temporary affairs of humanity can be said to be interesting and important. But it might be a great deal more important to me, through endless ages, that I am wearing in the lapel of my coat a badge of the Holy Name Society, provided that I try to live up to all that that symbol means, "For quite obviously, if there is another world, what Christ said, in these respects, is very literally true. In other words, what would a man gain if he became king of the world and lost his soul? "I say these things to you, because they are in my heart, and also because they may serve as a source of inspiration and edification, not only to the general community, but also strengthen and encourage others occtrpying a more humble position in the community that I happen to fill at present, and who consequently are not proffered equally appropriate opportunities of e xpressing. themselves."
