Such was tile sentiment unanimously expreSsed by the members of the Cathedral Choir after a glorious day on the Swan River Starting from Barrack last Sunday. street at noon, per "Valdavia," and laden with provisions for the day, with a lovely fresh breeze. the company made for Point Walter 'midst music and song. After partaking of luncheon and a few enjoyable games, we left the Point and launched out again for a cruise to Rocky Bay. 'ate River was very rough, causing the launch to toss a little, which increased our enjoyment. and a chorus of "Life on the Ocean Wave" could be heard over the troubled waters. Many of the party implored the skipper to venture to the ocean deep to try themselves on a "higher" scale. However, time would
not permit of that, so we turned and steamed for Canning Bridge, a strong
choir of melodious voices blending in At Canning we had delightful song. an enjoyable tea and a pleasant hour sun. in the last rays of the setting Again aboard, we set out for a long and final cruise to Freshwater Bay and back to Perth. On the journey down our skipper received the S.O.S. signal. We steered for the spot, and with "high seas courtesy" towed the Hibernian "ship in distress" to Nedlands. after which we set sail for home, while the choir, with all sincerity, rendered that ,very appropriate song. "This is the Miss Gladys end of a Perfect Day.' Edwards very generously presided at the piano most of the day. and sang her best and sweetest; and the choir are indeed grateful to her for her serMr. Walter Ruse, the "whistvices. ling" genius, displayed his ability in a few items, Miss Ryan. a promising young vocalist, sang some attractive pieces, and a very pleasant feature of our musical programme was the melody provided by the "Salonola," kindly lent by Mr. Knapton, of "Home Recreations, Ltd.," to whom the choir
extends its very best thanks. It is understood that the choir intends holding these outings often, when its membership increases, which it is hop-
ed will be in the very near future. The choir has been reorganised and gives every possible facility for training the human voice. It has admittedly the best and largest pipe organ in the State, one of the State's best organists (Mr. Arthur Taylor], and
a brilliant
young conductor (Mr. Sidney Smith). who has proved his ability in many successful choir competitions in various parts of the State, hence it is earnestly hoped that all those people who can sing at all will offer their services, and so swell the ranks of the choir and take advantage of an excellent opportunity for free training. Even those people who cannot sing must not consider themselves exempt from this appeal. We ask the reader to stop right here and think in what way he or she could assist the choir. If you arc a singer then it is your duty to join the choir; if you cannot sing then we ask you to start now and write down the names and addresses of those people whom you know can sing and forward your list to the conductor of the Cathedral Choir, care of "The Record" office. By so doing you will be contributing very materially towards restoring the standard of the choir to that of the grand old days when it was known as easily the leading choir of Western Australia.

OOMBINED RIVER EXCURSION, DEC. 7th.
Last year the first of the popular C.Y.L.C. and C.Y.M.S. river excursions on the s.s Zephyr was held on Tuesday, December 6. and this year they are to be again run under the auspices of the same two societies, the first being on Thursday, December 7th. Weather conditions up to the present have been anything but favourable for enjoyment on the river, but last year the very night before the initial trip was cold. yet the night itself was ideal, and five hundred people were aboard the boat. Both societies are anxious for this season's trips to be even better than those of the last season, and if all their members and friends come along this will he assured. There are hundreds of tickets already in circulation for December 7th, and from present indications there should be a record crowd.

The boat went direct to Point Wafter, where everyone landed and took part in a very It is regrettable enjoyable dance. that more adults and parents of the boys do not interest themselves more keenly in these outings and in the welfare of the club generally. However, we hope as time goes on more interest will be shown towards this worthy society. A slight mishap to the boat's engine only made things more interesting. although the toys' parents and
friends naturally felt worried at the
delay of the boat's return. It is intended to hold another outing in the near future, and we hope that it will be successful, and that the boys' parents will give it full patronage. The committee desires to thank Mrs. Gaynor very sincerely for having donated the tickets.

Anglican Orders and Constantinople The enthusiasm with which the news
that at last one of the historic Churches had agreed to recognise the validity of Anglican Orders, has had time to cool down. says the "Standard and Times." Anglicans are not asking
recognition themselves what this means. The English "Church Times," the leading paper of Anglicanism, has some interesting notes on the subject. It quotes a contemporary in which a clergyman, named the Rev. J. A. Douglas, who has had a great deal to do with obtaining the recognition, explains its meaning. In the first place Mr. Douglas urges It is most necessary advice caution! if misunderstandings are to be prevented. He tells what the recognition has not done. First, it has in no way Before hound the Orthodox Church. a final decision can be reached, all the other "autocephalous Churches" must agree with Constantinople. This means that the assent of the Patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem. and Russia, as well as of the Churches of Cyprus, the Kingdom of Greece, JugoSlavia, Romania, and Czecho-Slovakia Of these separate will be needed. "Churches" that make up the so-called Orthodox Church two at least are now estranged from Constantinople. whose Patriarch is not recognised by them. Secondly, there is no formal inter communion. This is absolutely impossible without doginatic agreement. The newspaper talk about the Reunion of the East and the "West." after centuries of separation, is, therefore, quite naidleeding.

Thirdly, even Constantinople has not said that Anglican Orders are valid This extraordinary asser"per se." tion is explained or rather supposed to be explained by a reference to OrthoThe Holy Eastern dox theology. Church recognises no absolute validity of any priestly ministrations outside her own communion. For instance, it is sometimes the fashion of its theologians to speak of the Pope as being unbaptised, because his baptism took place outside the Eastern Church. In the same way the Catholic priesthood is not recognised as "per se" valid. But, in spite of this general refusal to recognise sacraments administered in what is considered as schism by a so.ys, terious doctrine known as "Economy," the Church can. in particular cases, agree to regard such sacraments as beSo it would seem that in ing valid. the case of Anglican Orders the Church of Constantinople agrees for the time being to accept Anglican Orders without asserting that they are really valid. The Patriarch practically says: "We do not say your Orders are valid, because we must first find out the mind of our Church in the matter; and again, because you are heretics outside that pale in which alone can valid sacraments be effected -but we, so to speak, make your Orders valid for the present as far as Constantinople is conWe allow our scattered peocerned. ple in America and elsewhere to receive in cases of necessity." sacraments your Fourthly, we are told that this decison is not something new. "Constan. tinople, spaking for itself. has now regularised a practice which has long obtained in America, in South Africa. in Australia, and other countries where there are isolated Orthodox Christians." If this be the case, and we are so informed by the one who is best qualified to know, it is hard to see what all the fuss is about. The truth is that Constantinople, hard pressed by the difficulties of its present situation, is most anxious to strengthen its tottering power by gaining the support of English and AmeriIt is. therefore, can Episcopalians. willing to go the limit of its ability to earn the frindship of those who may he able to offer political and financial help. To suppose that the Patriarchate has committed itself to any essential alliance with Protestantism is to anticipate possible future events. Such alliance is still far off. Incidentally, we are able to judge of the value of "Orthodoxy" as a guardian of truth. It is surely plain that its doctrine of the sacraments is vague How. for instance, can and illogical. an ordination be valid for Constantinople and, at least, doubtful for Alexandria, if these two Churches are in Stranger still, vital communion? how can a sacrament he made valid on one occasion and on another be made invalid when administered under the Whilst the East same conditions? talks loudly about Rome changing the Faith, where does this strange and inexplicable doctrine of Economy come Similarly we may ask what from? kind of a guardian of the Divine Mysteries is this. Orthodox Church which allows her children to be given what may be only bread and wine in place of the Body and Blood of Christ, and which allows its children to adore what may be a creature? The recognition of Anglican Orders will, if it becomes final, cause still further schism and dissention in the East. But it cannot become final until the "Greeks" become Protestants or the Anglicans become "Orthodox," and this the Patriarch knows full well. Indeed, he is careful to do nothing that he cannot undo tomorrow. But what must we think of such a policy? Can it be fruitful of permanent results?
