Cathedral Choir Picnic

THE ORGAN OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF PERTH

(By One of Them.) "We had a most gorgeous time, and \verything was so delicious." 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. Remember the date, and its a Thursday night-then buy a ticket or two, they are is 6d each, but above all be there.

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?

The Sullivan -Mitchell contest was the best of the three, some deadly bowling being got in by P. Riley and J. McAuliffe, the former accounting for seven wickets, and the latter for three. Sullivan's team carried home the laurels going seven over the century with their respectable score, while the rival team drew breath at 62. J. McAuliffe emulated MacDougall by topping the score with 26, followed by P. Reilly with 9, and Alcock and Brophy with 8 runs each on the Sullivan side. and Mitchell with 13. and Connor 9, were the best "doers" for the Mitchell eleven. Ryan and Lightly strove mightily for "a place in the sun," the place falling to the lot of the Ryan eleven.

Now, this should not be, because all members should take a keen interest in the Unfortunatebusiness of the branch. ly many of them think that they are discharging their duty by coming on quarter night and paying their dues, but this is not so.

Members should note this, as it is very discouraging to officers of any branch when the ordinary members continually absent themselves from the meetThe installation of officers was ings. postponed until next meeting (28th. instant), when there should be a large attendance to assist in the ceremony.

Those eho left the Catholic fold were a very small and bad fraction of Catholicism, whose loss need not be deplored. The great manifestations of Catholic faith during Assumption Week in Brunn are a strong refutation of the calumny that Czecho-Slovakia is not a predominantly Catholic country. According to the recent census, out of the 6.670,578 inhabitants, there are 5,216,169 Catholies, or about 782 per cent- of the Protestantism numbers only whole. 246,114 adults. while the newly -foundChurch, which is supposed National ed to have disrupted the Catholic Church .in Bohemia, can count on no more than 437.377 adherents.

A. Crow had really nothing worth while to make into a story of any religious interest to devout people. But we have no doubt this gentleman made the most of the defection of a faithless section of the Catholic Bohemian clergy, who thought infinitely more of the kit-

They are certainly not charged with that Christian Ideality which should make a Reformation splendid and spiritual in the vision of a true follower of the Redeemer. Tirse and its historic association with the memory of Jan Huss and all that Husoism stands for should have made Bohemia essentially a Protestant country, but the census shows that almost 80 per cent. is Catholic. In an excitement probably forgotten of the mischievous propaganda of American the Rev. A. Crow has, perhaps, been misled by false data.

When Conscription was preached in ten thousand Protestant pulpits, and the "salary grab" denounced in Synods and Conferences of Protestant clergy, Mr. McElhone should have congratulated not only Archbishop Kelly, but all the Archbishops who never mentioned these evil things in the sanctuary. Supplying what Mr. McElhone let alone, we congratulate Archbishop Mannix on his non-political stand, for lie has never uttered a political word from a pulpit, and has never stood for Parliament, in At short, has kept out of politics. the same time we do rot admit that he is bound to do these th;ngs. The Protestant clysehes whi:n condemned the infamous "salary grab" were within their rights and did mull. Any Ca tholic Archbishop could have done the same thing, but then he would not have been eligible for congratulation by the Lord Mayor of Sydney. The Protestant churches which condemned the iniquitous idea of seventy days' training a year in military camps were within their rights, and did well, slthough they were inconsistent (having bowled for conscription a few years previously), and any Catholic Arch bishop might have pronounced a parallel condemnation with the Protestant churches, but then he would not have been eligible for congratulation by the Lord Mayor of Sydney. The Pro testant churches which did their absolute best to help to forge the chains of German conscription on to the limbs of Australia on two infamous occasions were within their rights, and Catholic Archbishops who never said a word of

Mr. McElhone, we congratulate all the Archbishops of Australia on keeping out of politics, and welcome in ads ance their wise incursion into the realm and scope of politics whenever any occasion demands it. Politics arc not sacred to the "irreverend," not since the days of Moses, anyhow. We spare our readers reference to Wolsey and the "grey Cardinal" and Cardinal Langton, but just let us whisper this much: The Catholic Church made politics. With this we leave Lord Mayor McElhone alone-"on his own."

Notes and Comments The Hibernians and the C.Y.L.C. hold their general Communion on next Sunday. and both these bodies are to In MelMold Communion breakfasts. bourne lately a controversy has been raging about the origin of Communion breakfasts. Some claimed South Yarra, others East Melbourne, and others Seyamour as the originators of the idea less than thirty years ago. This is very surprising, for the oldest inhabitant in any parish can' recall Communion breakfasts about seventy years ago. and the youngest children in any parish can tell the Melbourne disputants that the first Communion breakfast took place about the year 1 A.D. They were held in Rome in the Catacombs, in Jerusalem. and everywhere where there were Christian communities. The Communion breakfast was called the Agape. The Methodist Church is building a college in South Perth-"good for the Methodists." and good for South Perth.

If the State primary schools are good enough for the working man's child, then the State secondary schols should b. good enough for the wealthy churchman's children. The position is not logical for any of the three bodies named, but nevertheless we commend them for as much as they have done wisely. It is wise for them to conduct colleges; it would be wiser still for them to organise a primary school for the worker's child in

Ed. "ReCord."1 The great national and religious celebrations at Brno (Brunn), CzechoSlovakia, are the crowning refutation of a calumnious campaign against Czech Catholics. This campaign is still fostered abroad-see the mid -August issue of the "Christian World"among interested factors, desirous of fiance of facts-as a pillar of Protestantism; but at home it has fallen flat; for not all the efforts of apostates, Jews, Freemasons, and Protestants, have succeeded in undermining the allegiance of four -fifths of the Czech people to the Papal See. The Catholic Body's Supremacy "Vienna is down! Rome will follow!" was the cry of a godless section of extremists in the autumn of 1918; but a fortnight ago the President of the young Republic was represented at the biggest function that has yet taken place in Czecho-Slovakia. and it was a

by the distinguished writer, Elizabeth Christitch to the notice of the Rev. A. Crow, of Albany, who told his people on a recent Sunday everting that one and a half million people had left the Roman Catholic Church and became Protestants in Czecho-Slovakia (Bohemia). The statement was made, we believe, in sheer ignorance of the facts of recent Bohemian history as set forth by Miss Christitch, and the article should enlighten him on a situation which he obviously does not understand. The schism in Czecho-Slovakia was the outcome of a political movement to erect a National Church. and is far from being a movement towards Protestantism. The figures quoted by the Rev. A. Crow were inflated and mischieVously put forward by Hussite propagandists, who like the "carrion crows" of sectarianism in this country are not ashamed to brazenly lie for the purpose of misleading public opinion.-

There are 79,777 members of the Jewish faith in Bohemia, 658,076 persons who boast that they belong to no religious denomination whatsoever, and some 33,665 who belong to one of other of the other religions- So that in spite of all the anti-Catholic propaganda. with which the country has been riddled during recent years, the Catholics lead with a considerable majority in Probably a million CathoBohemia. lics have been lost to the Church. some of them having fallen away from sheer been indifferentism. others having drawn away by the promoters of the so-called National Church. Yet even of these lapsed brethren; only a few have gone over to Protestantism, most of the others have dropped out cf religion altogether. Abbe Settles Strike. The strike in the Audincourt-Valentigny-Beaulieu industrial basin, the largest industrial centre in FrancheComte, has been settled after six weeks, during which thousands of men were out of work. The settlement of this strike is of more than passing interest, for it was due to the efforts of a Catholic priest, Abbe Jacquot, pastas The majority of Audincourt, France. of the strikers were Socialists, and when priest on the the them met a group of street recently. they greeted him by singing the "International." The employers are Protestant and radical, and yet both sides finally appealed to the Catholic pastor to put an end to their differences, and it was he who brought about the reconciliation.

Bolshevy and the Church. When Archbishop Tikhon, the Patriarch of Moscow, was arrested by the Bolshevists and thrown into prison, he appointed the Archbishop Agathangelos of Jaroslaw as his deputy. to act until a new Patriarch could be elected. 'I he Bolshevists have prevented the carrying out of this plan by formally forbidding Archbishop Agathangelos to leave his episcopal city or to take up the burden- laid upon him by ArchMeanwhile the affairs bishop Tikhon. of the Orthodox Church in Russia are by a junta comadministered being posed of ecclesiastics with leanings towards Bolshevism, and a body of laymen, handpicked by the Soviet chiefs Archbishop Agathangelos themselves. has protested to all Ortin dox Russia against these proceedings, and declares his intention of convoking a proper ecclesiastical assembly in 'he near future. Under the present regime there is little possibility of this assembly being convoked and as 111 of the 148 Russian Bishops have been deprived of their Sees or are about to be deprived. measures seem to have been taken in advance for prevent:ng a proper ecclesiastical synod from meeting. The Soviet anti -religions propaganda department declares that 37 Bishops have been won over to the Bolshevist side, and it is with the connivance of these prelates that the bolshevised Russian Orthodox Church is being carried on at present.

Eminent Jesuit Dead. Catholic education and sociology has sustained a heavy loss in the death of the Rev. Terence J. Shealy, S.J.. founder and Dean of the Fordham University Law School. At the time of his death Father Shealy was director of the Laymen's League of Retreats and Social Studies, in connection with which he established the retreat house of Mount Manresa, Station Island, as the first house in the United States to be devoted exclusively to retreats for work of the laymen's retreat in Philadelphia, Albany. Harrisburg, Washington, and many other important east-

ern centres, until to -day permanent retreat houses are established in many dioceses, and thousands of Catholic men each year accept the invitation to go aside from the world for a few days and devote themselves to a conFather sideration of things eternal. Shealy was long recognised as an eloas prominence quent preacher, and his an educator caused him to be appcinted as one of the Commissioners of the St. Louis World's Fair in 1893. Always a keen student of the social study classes, which attracted an increasingly large following in New York, and which promise to bring forth great Father Shealy was born in fruit. Mitchelstown. Co. Cork. in September 30, 1863 and was educated at Mungret College. He male his novitiate at Frederick, Maryland, and was ordained to the priesethood by Cardinal Gibbons in June, 1898.

Substitute the Beads for the Gun. Speaking at a Confirmation Service at Islandeady, Most Rev- Dr. Gilmartin, having referred to the intelligence displayed by the children, expressed himself as deeply pained at occurren ces that had taken place in the locality. Ile had, he said. already made a

solemn appeal to the minority to desist from armed opposition to the legitimate Government of the country. If ever there was a legitimate Government it is that now sitting in Dublin, which had got a clear mandate from

the people to function within the terms of the Treaty. It is the duty of the Government to protect life and property and maintain order. and it is the duty of the people to support the Government. Those who wish for another form of Government have a Constitutional way of trying to attain their ideal; but they have no authority from any source to resist by violence the Government of the people. Hence the ambushing of National troops, bombing, the cutting of railways and bridges, the blocking of roads, and the seizure and destruction of property are all immoral, and entail the obligation He appealed most of reparation. earnestly to all to join, during the in praying for a October, month of speedy peace. So many are the victories which the Rosary has obtained in the history of the Church from Lepanto down to our own time. that the Popes have made October the month of the Rosary ,and he appealed, therefore to the brave young men of Ireland to substitute the beads for the gun. They that take the beads in a spirit of faith and humility will surely obtain victory, but it may be-it often those who take the has sword perish by the sword. Mr. Chesterton on the Anglicans. Mr. G. K. Chesterton, in an interview on his conversion given to a Canadian paper, states that he has always believed, at least for twenty years, in the Catholic view of Christianity. "Unless the Church oL England," he said, "was a branch of the Catholic Church. I had no use for it. If it were a Protestant Church I did not believe in it in any Among the people who had case."

most helped him to answer the question "whether the Church of England is Catholic," and to whom he was most indebted, were the chief Protestant leaders in the Church of England. such as the Dean of St. Paul's and Bishop Hensley Henson. They had done him this good service, and he wished to express gratitude to them for it. They had done him the best service one man could do for another. "It appears to me quite clear," he said, "that any Church claiming to be authoritative must be able to answer quite definitely when great questions of public morals are put. Any Church with authority to teach must be able to say wheteher it can be done. But Protestant Churches are in utter bewilderment on these moral questions." Mr. Chesterton added that the Church of England has no united action. "I have no use for a Church which is not a Church militant. which cannot order battle and fall in line and march in the same direction."

Commenting on the Irish Free State Constitution, then under discussion in the Dail Eireann. the "Irish Catholic." of September 30. says:-

It is a pleasure to acknowledge that all things considered, the discussions in the Irish Parliament on the Articles of the Constitution have so far been on a commendably high level, and the Ministerial statements in particular have been marked by keen judgment and moderation and display a thorough grasp of essentials on the part of their The present Assembly has authors. shown a capacity for the prompt dispatch of public business which was sadly lacking in its predecessor, and excellent progress has already been made with the moulding of the instrument whose provisions are destined to govern the national activities for many a year to come. To intelligences of a certain type the framing of a Constitution may appear to lie a comparatively simple matter. But, as was discovered by even the celebrated French political philosopher whose name was so prominently associated with the art of Constitution -making during the Re-

volution-and who was wont to declare that "the art of government was a

he had brought to perfection"-the contrary is quite the case., The Abbe Sieyes played an energetic part in the French National Assembly, and proved himself inclined to be a daring innovator. But events soon proved that he failed to comprehend as fully as he might have science which he considered

done the alarming tendencies of some of the drastic changes of which he had been so eloquent an advocate: for, on expressing his disapprobation of some of the Assembly's decrees, Mirabeau replied to him: "You have unloosed the bull and you complain that it gores you." This week's proceedings in Parliament show that we have among our representatives a few innovators who are capable of advocating drastic changes in certain directions. but it is reassuring to discover that their panaceas for our economic ills and for what they consider defects in our educational system find no favour in the eyes of the overwhelming majority of the House. The attempt made to secure the postponement of the final drafting of the Constitution until a later date was rightly opposed by the Government, and was defeated by the votes of the The definite task of this Deputies. Provisional Parliament is to frame a Constitution and to frame it within the four corners of the Treaty-and delay in the performance of that duty would be a betrayal of the trust committed to their representatives by the people at the General Election. Another impossible proposition was that embodied in the amendment for deleting the words "the King" from one of the fundamental Articles of the document. There are 79 Articles in all in the Constitution. and the King is mentioned nine times. In the Treaty itself, which is a much shorter document, the King is actually mentioned eight times. Yet it was a Deputy whose own signature is affixed to the Treaty of 6th. December who apparently saw nothing inconsistent or illogical in sponsoring this remarkable amendThe proposal to eliminate the ment. King would, of course, as Mr. O'Higgins pointed out, be tantamount to an invitation to proclaim a Republic, and would, if it were adopted. result in the scrapping of the Treaty. The amendment, needless to say. was rejected by As all the Deputies a large majority. present were returned because they were understood to stand for the settlement, the constituents of the gen. tlemen constituting the minority are, we think, entitled to some explanation of the strange attitude adopted toward a proposal which, if carried, would be certain, as the Bishop of Killaloe declared many months ago, to leave the country without either Treaty or Republic. There were two or three other features of the proceedings in Parliament which from the Catholic point are of Under Article X. of special interest. the Constitution. all citizens of the right to free elethe have State Free mentary education. But a member of the Labour Party, not satisfied with this provision moved an amendment declaring not only that the rights of the children to food, clothing, shelter, and education should be guaranteed. but also that all schools and educational establishments, public and private, should be controlled by the State within limits to he determined by law. This is the vicious principle of the secularisation of the schools and the centralisation of educational authority which is contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church. The aim is, of course. to withdraw the child from the control of the parents and to diminish the influence of religion in the moulding of character. But Christian philosophy, defining the proper relations between the State and the citizen. emphatically rejects as degrading to man any theory a of statecraft which regards him as mere unit in a huge governmental maman: made chine. God, not the State, and human beings have rights and duties, anterior both in time and nature, to those of the State. Therefore, the in Catholic Church will never acquiesce the usurpation of parental rights by would the State, or in a theory which degrade human beings by its assumption that they are mere chattels of the State. The amendment was Ultimately withdrawn; but to us it is inconceivable that the present or any future Irish Parliament should he found ready to acquiesce in principles of education which are essentially repugnant to the Christian doetrine. Labour proposals for organising the country's economics on Communist lines were

also. it is satisfactory to record, reject. ed by a substantial majority. There is just one other matter to which attention should be drawn before the discussions on the Constitution proceed much further. Father Daly, P.P., Castlepollard, refers to the fact that so far God Almighty has not been recognised in the proposed Constitution. Surely, if the power of the Irish people to govern themselves must come from God, this fundamental fact should be explicitly stated. We hold that it should be recited in the preamble of the document, and we further say that it is the duty of our Governmerit to save us from the scandal of having a Godless Constitution for a Christian land. There is yet, happily, time to repair the omission. and the Catholic people of Ireland will most assuredly expect the Government to take steps towards that end without further delay. A Serious Blot.

Father Daly's letter to the "Irish Catholic" reads: "Dear Sin-I observe with regret that as yet God Almighty is not recognised in the proposed Irish Constitution- Surely if the power of the Irish people to govern themselves must come (ruin God. why is this fundamental fact It is the duty not explicitly stated! of our Government to prevent us hay mg a Godless Constitution for a Christian land."

The Church in Brazil The appointment of the Papal mission to represent the Holy See at the centenary of Brazil's independence is regarded as an indication of the warm regard in which the Holy Father holds' the people of Brazil, the major portion of whom are Catholics by profession,

although the Church still has a hard The paucity struggle in the nation. of priests and the lack of educational facilities have made for boundless ignorance of religion in many regions. North American sects, too. are very active in Brazil, and their clever and

unremitting missionary activities must not be underestimated. Counter activities are so feeble that these imported sects might shortly constitute a menace to the faith in the land. Protestants already conduct four colleges in the city of Rio de Janeiro and have begun work on several others. The Methodists have been particularly active. , In cities like Porto Alegre, with its 250,000 inhihitants. they have established themselves in half a dozen institutions. Baptists, Adventists and Spiritists are carrying on a vigorous propaganda. and these combined with the forces of Masonry and irreligion

form a considerable army against which the Church must battle. No Ragious Instruction. The people of Brazil are supposedly Catholic in entirety. The constitution, however, since 1890, has made the separation of Church and State a law. Religious instruction is prohibited in the public schools. of which there are 13,000 educating close to 1,000,000 children. The Catholics of 'Brazil are weak in organisation- There is no loyal Catholic daily press. The Central Press Bureau. founded by the Franciscans, has indeed done good work, and plans were projected last year for the publication of a Catholic daily paper, to start last July. Every effort to collect sufficient funds, however, was unsuccessful and the inauguration of this

project has been postponed. Fortunately, the press of the country. with few exceptions, does not take a pronouncedly inimical attitude toward the Church. But by setting side by side truth and error, good and evil, Spiritism and Pentecostal sermons, Catholic Mass and Methodist services. no inconsiderable hthaermp.ress may do Znoouraging Signs. Challenge alone, it seems, can spur on the indifferent and awaken the The mtthods of the North sleeping. American sects have had the result of

arousing many indifferent Catholics, and there are signs of vigorous counter movement. Great indignation was aroused over the fact that the plan of Brazilian Catholics to erect a statue of the Sacred Heart on Mount Corevado in commemoration of the centennial celebration was the subject of attack by the Masons. who through their influence succeeded in having the official authorities withdraw the permit they had granted for its erection. The fact that Brazil, according to the national census taken last year, has now 30,500,000 souls and is third in population among the Latin nations, is an indication of its importance to the Catholic Church. In the southernmost State of Rio Frande de Sul alone, where the German colonists form one fifth of the population, there is an annual increase of 40,000 souls.

through unearned increments. Me diaeval Oxford was founded as a College for poor students. Its endowmanta of lands and bursaries were intended to help those poor students. But in the 19th. century it ceased to be the home of the poor scholars, and became the close preserve of the landed classes. The Oxford of New man was able to offer very valuable positions to its students adopting the ideal of a Liberal, or a gentleman's education. Oxford had £500.000 per annum in Newman's time. Oxford was therefore able to solve the prattical difficulty that their educated men had to live. Hence it was possible to have a colouring of the theory that Knowledge was its own end, and that professions were sacrifices. The idea that a general culture fits a man for any position was adopted and acted upon by Cabinet Ministers in appointing their Secretaries, etc. It has prevailed to our time as a working principle in the higher political sphere. Oxford and Cambridge then as now commanded preference in the Higher Political Sphere. Commissions, secretaries. etc., are all purely nominatonal positions and mere good culture is the only requisite for the fob. The Oxford ideal made a lasting impression on the minds of the governing classes in England. It is but recently that a chance has taken piece. Men skilled in their cren interest are now being placed at the head of that interest in the state, v.e., Mr. Fisher is the first Minister of Education in England who had an idea of the working of a secondary school.

These Sovereign Dominions were prat tically independent States. There was absolutely nothing in the way of control over them except references and appeals to the Privy Council in judicial matters. Sir R. Bordon. who had been quoted there, had described the Dominions as Ministerial Republics. In the oath they acknowltdged fidelity to the man who was at the head of that Commonwealth of Nations, of Ministerial Republics. The amendment was declared lost Mr. Johnson's Oath for Zing.

It was folly that he should be aslced to swear faithfulness to himself. but it was wisdom to insist that he should promise to act in any matter concerning his office on the advice of the Executive Cooncif only.

The true knowledge of God, in the words of St. Paul in the Epiltle, we are considering, "delivers us Isom the power of darkness, and translates us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, in whom we have redemption in His blood, the remission of sins.'

St. Ter esa said, and said very often, "God is not loved because He is not known." Christ Himself often referred to the palmary importance of the gift of knowledge. "Didst thou but know the gift of God," He said to the Samaritan woman, and because of her good dispositions He supplied the knowledge in which was salvation. "That they may know that Thou has sent me." He prayed to His Heavenly Father. at the tremendous miracle working, "when Lazarus left his charnel house." "You shall know the truth." He promised to His Apostles, "And the truth shall set you free." More than this, He de dared in his momentous discourse after the Last Supper: "This is eternal e, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hest sent." Again. He declared that He was the Truth, which must be kniohwense.

I am sorry Sunday is your only day for play-is Saturday out of the play list? Don't you think, Mavis, the turkey hen was a slow old thing to let measly things like crows take her wee turkeys? Crows are sneaky, mean things, capable of any mischief, but a turkey hen should be brave enough to resist them. I hope the farmers are very pleased with the results of the season. and I'm glad to know that Micky, Snap and the tabby kitten are alive,. and I hope behaving themselves. You tell me your school horse is 18 years old. He must surely be a wise and patient, and a nice domesticated old thing. I would be anxious about Mavis if he were not.

WORDS OF WISDOM. Those who dwell in spirit on the heavenly country take the tone of it, and grow in the things %%herein they find themselves. Be always displeased with what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art not, for where thou hast pleased thyself there thou abidest.St. Augustine. As the sword of the least-tempered metal is most flexible, so the truly generous are most pliant and courteous in their behaviour to their inferiorsFuller. If we think our occupation unworthy of us. the way to rise to a better one is to be faithful and diligent where we are, until we are called to a worthier or nobler pursuit.-afiller. Prayer lends heaven to earth; the supplications which the latter sends up to the former fall back in a soft dew to refresh hearts parched by the burning breath of affliction.-Keratry. Trifles are of tremendous importance. A trifling kind act may make a lasting friendship. A trifling help may save a man from ruin. The trifles make the big things, so attention to trifles is all important. Men were only the strong, the successful, the victorious the unbroken, in building their kingdoms; but God is the God of the unsuccessful; of those who have failed. Heaven is filling with earth's broken lives, and there is no bruised reed that Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and

beauty.-Miller. ALL ARE TEMPTED. Every man possesses in himself all His the possibilities of badness. temptations do not make him weak; they are his opportunities, and they either reveal him or expose him. There are weak and shallow, cynical men who make light of their temptations, says the "Tablet." The man who laughs at his temptations is not safe while the man who scoffs at his temptations which he has accepted is profane. No wrong can satisfy; it can only gratify "the brief hitter bliss one has for a great sin." Temptation is an opportunity to work out an immortal career-"sow a thought and you reap an act, sow an act and you reap a habit, sow a habit and you reap a character, sow a character and you reap a destiny." To he a Christian does not free a man from temptations. It only sets him free to meet and master them. Man is "lord of all below him and wit-

The tides recede from one shore only to wash high on a distant land. An eruption occurs in one part of the world while a recession takes place at another point. Large quantities of coal or other combustible matter flame up and fall into thin ashes, but gases are emitted which float away to perform some allotted function in the So great harmony of natural action it is throughout every phase of material creation. This natural law is a reflection of the supernatural realm where no spiritual energy ever goes astray. A prayer uttered for a per sonal petition may fall short of its mark in God's Providence. but only to he applied in His wisdom to some other task of reclaiming souls, furthering the Church's Divine mission, or freeing some unknown souls from the bonds of purgatory. It is this law which inspires the Church to gather up the merit which Christ, the Blessed Virgin and the Saints earned but needed not It is for their own sanctification. placed in a spiritual treasury from which the Church draws its indulIt does not need to reach gences. out like a magician with empty hand to snat..h an indulgence from the It is more business -like. empty air.

FRIENDSHIP. A little garden, fenced with trust; A double share of book and crust.

The day's work done. a place to rest; At peace within another's breast. A white road leading from the gate; A call to duty, or-to wait.

A garden watered through the years,

With joy, or dedicated tears. -Mabel J. Bourquin. COURAGE THAT SUSTAINS.

The service of God does not suffer from temptation. God allows us to be tempted that we may become perfect in His sight. Truly "power is It is made perfect in infirmity." God's plan that we be tempted, for "the furnace trieth the potter's vessel, and the trial of affliction just men." If we despise the devil he will leave us, When he cannot make headway in enticing the soul of sin he will endeavour to disturb the servant of God. God He will not forsake His servants. will be near when we think He is far Jesus teach us. In away. Thus spirit we see Him on the hill of temptation. There was He made acquainted with our daily warfare. as He tasted the glories of victory. He will have compassion on all our infirmities, for, without sinning, "He bath been subject to all our temptations." Here the mystery of the Incarnation presents one of its features which still remains shrouded in obscurity. In the temptation of Christ we acquire the courage that sustains, the hope that strengthens, the sympathy that aids in compassion for the Lord.

for a temporary advantage, is not only, in the personal sense. the ultimate loser in the transaction, but he is also, in the general and far more important sense. the postponer of decisions that must finally be made and issues that must finally be met. The faith with which many of this generation are blessed is theirs only because their fathers refused to sacrifice it for some lesser good. Such civil. rights and liberties as are enjoyed today were won by the struggles of those who thought less of their own advantage than of the welfare of posterity.

THE CHEERY WORD. "You've got a nice mother," said a young son of a house where he had just left the daily packet of letters and papers. "Of course. that's my opinion," acquiseed the tall boy comfortably. and then bethought himself to ask curiously, "What makes you think so?" "Oh, she always has a 'Good -morning,' or a pleasant word of some kind Lots if she catches a glimpse of me. of folk treat the postman as if he were deaf and dumb." How many people suppose that the postman cares for a cheery word? How often do we remember that the milkman, the messenger, the host of daily hurried callers at our door are not machines, but fellow -mortals, and entitled to a kindly word or expression of interest as they come and go? Kindness costs but little. Cornerites, and the cheery word and the pleasant look often do more than the choicest gifts.

HAPPINESS.

(By Enid Dinnis.)

"I'm not going to tell you to go and bathe in the river Jordan." the Missioner (1 think he was C.SS.R.) said to Nicodemus--we may as well cab him that because, like most people in the work -a -day world he pursued his theological enquiries by or towards, night-"but I would suggest that you pay a call on old Michael, one of the servers here; he keeps an all -sorts shop quite near by, he's uncommonly good, they tell me, with people suffering from your complaint-if you will forgive me for calling 'honest doubt' a complaint. He's a mystic, is Michael. People say

that he 'sees things'-of course he does not say so himself. that wouldn't be cricket; but as you say you're 'done in

on the intellectual side,' and you want to know if the mystical side can't 'function on your behalf'-isn't that it? Michael might be able to help you." The listener pricked up his ears. He was a very typical Nicodemus of the present day. He had come across the Lives of the Saints and other mediaeval works in the by -ways of historical and psychical research in his quest for Uncreated Beauty, and after absorbing a large amount of mystical theology he had become interested in the Apostles' Creed; such things do happen. The Apostles' Creed had led him on to the Catechism of the Council of Trentthat, too, has been known to happen. and the Catechism of the Council of Trent had brought him back to the Apostles' Creed, with a disquieting insistence on the first word-"Credo." It was at the fundamental word, Credo, that Nicodemus stuck. "It may all be true," he said to the Father conducting the Mission to non-Catholics (they were discussing the adorable miracle of the Altar), "but how can I know that it is with any certitude unless I have a sign? There were signs and wonders to help a man's faith out in the old days why shouldn't there be now? Do not people ever have supernatural experiences to bolster up the Grammar of

Nicodemus went on, following his own line of argument. "one must give the assent of the intellect to anything one accepts or one would be playing false to a plainly God-given light." And then he unconsciously quoted his prototpye: "How' can these things be done?" asked Nicodemus. "Well. I shall pray for you," Mr. Michael said, "that you may -see a sign and wonder one day at Mass. Come back and tell me if you do." He conducted his visitor to the shop door when he rose to go. "Bear in mind that story of St Louis and the vision on the altar," he said, "and keep your eyes open when you go to Mass, and I'll pray that Almighty God may give you the light, suddenly, as He does to some. You'll be saying your 'Credo' yet." It was some considerable time later -it may have been six months, or even a year, that one afternoon when Mr. Michael was weighing out a pound of sugar to a customer a very cheerful young man strode into the corner shop. It was the young man whom for convenience I have called Nicodemus in this story. "How do you do. Mr. Michael?" the "Do you know that I visitor said. have travelled five miles in a tram -car in order to bring you my news?" "And what might your news be, sir?" Mr. Mithael asked, himself knowing what the answer would be. "I'm going to be received into the Church next Sunday week," said Nicodemus. Mr. Michael thrust a white -sleeved arm over the counter, imperilling a pyramid of baking powder packets. "Then all's well," he said. "Thank God I'll do myself 'the for Ills mercies. honour of shaking hand with you, sir, if I may."

round about the sanctuary must have felt that they had been 'done out of their second miracle'-the miracle of Faith, out there in the benches." "So there, lad, you see, it's all come right," Mr. Michael ended. He fixed his eyes fortuitously on the glass panel of the parlour door, ignoring the flitting figure of the boy serving a customer out beyond. "And it won't do you any harm to remember that your first vision of the Infinite came when you were looking on an agglomeration of commonplace humanity, but, there! There's no end to the signs and wonders that God shows to them that have eyes to see."

"It's all one huge wonder." Nico"Do we?" said Mr. Michael.
