BRIEF SKETCH OF ITS FoUNDA-
DATIoN, GROWTH AND
PRESENT STATUS.

Historically considered the Catholic
Church in Australia dates from the
latter half of the eighteenth century,
when owing to the severity of the
Penal Laws, Catholics-both priests
and laymen-were deported from the
British Isles to the convict settle
ments in Australia. Most of these
were Irish political offenders, and a
part of their punishment consisted in
deprivation of the consultations of
their religion. Previous to 1850,
Protestant Holland had been the
paramount power on this continent,
and but few missionary stations were
permanently settled there In the
rebellion of 1898 a fruitful harvest of
political offenders was gathered by
the Government, including three
priests, Fathers Harold, Dixon and
O'Neil, who had been arrested-one
of them while saying Mass-in Dublin,
and sent out as convictS.
The Work of Bigots.
These were prevented from minis
tering to their co-religionists. In
1917 an Irish priest, Father Flynn,
volunteered to go to Australia, but
failing to take the precaution of OBJ
tanning the governments permission,
he was deported on arrival The dis
cussion resulting from this arbitrary
action led, however, to some good,
and the Colonial Office shortly after
wards appointed one chaplain to
Botany Bay-the convict settlement
and another to Van Dieman's Land
the priests being Fathers Connolly
and Therry. Despite this reform, the
authorities were determined to keep
Australia Protestant, and every ad
vantage was given to non-Catholics
while corresponding disabilities were
laid upon our own people.
Catholic Emancipation, of course
improved matters somewhat, and the
arrival of Catholic administrative Off
cials in the Colony helped the prog
ress of our missions. Thus, Father

Present Status.
The progress of the Catholic Church
in Australia is indicated by Professor
MacCaffrey in his excellent work
'The History of the Catholic Church"
Thus, in 1900, the Catholic popula-
ton numbered about 800 out of $500
souls, with no priests, nor any
schools. At the present time there
are close on one million in a popula-
tion numbering not quite five millions,
the system of schools and colleges, as
we'll as the clergy organization, being
equal to the best This increase (says
the Maynooth professor) is almost en-
tirely due to immigration from Ire
land. Despite the fact that the prin-
ciple of undenominationalis or secu-
lar education, has been enforced in
many places, Catholic schools have
continued to flourish, and the total
number of Catholic children attending
schools in Australia and New Zealand
at the present time exceeds 115,000

been settled since 1921. In 1883 Ho-

pal see, and the total Catholic popu-
lation numbers at this date 5000
souls in 100000. Since 1885 the
Church has progressed in New Zea-
land, the Marist Fathers then taking
over the mission; the total Catholic
population amounts to 100000 souls
in about one million, the Archbishops
See being at Wellington, with three
suffragan dioceses at Auckland,
Christchurch, and Dunedin.
Cardinal Moran.
At the head of the Catholic Church
in the Antipodes until 1911 was DR..
Moran, who succeeded Archbishop
Roger Vaughan in 1884. Born in Ire
land, he was a nephew of the late
Cardinal Cullen. Leaving Ireland in
1912 when twelve years old, he spent
his early academical years in Rome,
where he made his mark at the Irish
College, of which institution he soon
became vice-rector In 1886 he be-
came secretary to Cardinal Cullen.
He founded the "Irisle Ecclesiastical
Record" and was present at the
Vatican Council of 1869. Prior to his
introduction of the Home Rule Bills,
Mr.. Gladstone took the advice of DIR.
Moran, who had won the respect and
friendship of the English statesman
by his great gift and special knowl-
edge. To DR.. Moran, who was one
of the most extraordinary men of his
time, and who would have attained
to eminence at any time and in any
place is due the great advance of
Catholicity in Australia. He con-
secrated fourteen bishops, ordained
five hundred priests, and professed
five thousand nuns. AS a statesman
he forecasted the necessity of Austria
lian Federation, an Australian navy,
and National Guard, and by his
great influence helped to bring these
conditions into being. He was sue
ceeded as Archbishop by DR.. Michael
Kelly, who was born at Waterford in
the year 1850.

COST OF EYEGLASSES UP

New York Times: This European
war has many qualifications that h
public generally has no idea of" said
an Optician to a customer as he look
ed over the prescription for a pair Of
eyeglasses.
"One of these is going to affect O
right now in the filling of his pre-
scription. 1t is an increase in the cost
of special lenses for eyeglasses and
spectacles.1 shall have to charge o
Il dollar more for these than l did for
the last pair l made for you.
Isn't that rather rubbing It in a
bit?" the customer asked. II had an
idea you made these classes in this
shop.Don't tell me they are ground
abroad and you cannot get orders fill
ed"
Not exactly that, but you've come
pretty close to it. These enses are
made from imported blanks, however,
and the only source of supply, SO far
as ] know, is Germany. In common
with a lot of things of European ORR
gin, the price has risen since the dec
laration of war, simply because the
ource of supply has been suddenly
cut off. and there is no telling when
we can get more blanks from which
the lenses are ground. None are made
in this country that nave the texture
and transparency these German made
glasses have. The chances are that
the makers have all been called to
the front. and the industry stopped
for the time being. At all events that
is the position importers take, and
the price of the blanks in tn efact
Of this probability has been advanced
as h supply of the blanks, ALWAYS
rather limited, is now one that causes
us to worry about the future supply.
Only the imported glass is used by
American grinders in their high grad
work. though American made glass is
used in the ordinary low priced glass
es such as you can buy at almost any
store. But glasses ground from pre-
scriptions are always from the Ger
mar blank. This blank you see has no
magnifying qualities at present, but
after it has been through the steel
mushroom and emery haste polishers
it will have just that quality needed
to suit our vision in the opinion Of
the oculist who made h prescription
Nothing we can get hold of will fill
the bill except the German nodded
glass"

Unc' Billy was quite right. Old
Granny Fox felt sure that some one
was playing tricks, so she didn't walt
until jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun was
out of bed. She was at the top of the
hill where Prickly Porky lives a full
hour before surf-up. and there she sat
down to wait. She couldn't see or
hear anything in the least suspicious.
You see Unc' Billy Postum was quite
out of sight as he sat in the thiclsest
part of a hemlock tree. and Peter
Rabbit was sitting perfectly still in a
hollow log. and Jimmy Skunk wasn't
showing so much as the tip of his
nose as he lay just inside the door,
way of an old house under the roots
of a big lump. Only Prickly Porky
was to be seen, and he seemed to be
asleep in his favorite tree. Every
thing seemed to be just as old Granny
Fox had seen it a hundred times be-
fore.

slowly and carefully, so as not to so

crawl around so as to come UP on the

Now what old Granny Fox had seen
was Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Skunk
and Unc' Billy Postum rolling over
somersaults and shouting and laugh
ing, while Prickly Porky sat looking
on and smiling. Granny knew we'll

she knew, too, that they didn't dream

HOhenliuden,

On Linden, when the sun was low,
All bloodless lay the untrodden snow,
And dark as winter was the flow
OF Iser, rolling rapidly.
But Linden saw another sight,
When the drum beat at dead of night,
Commencing fires Of death to light
The darkness of her scenery.
BY torch and trumpet fast arrayed,
Each horseman drew his battle blade.
And furinous every charger neighed,
To Join the dreadful revelry.
Then shook the hills with thunder
riven, -
Then rushed the steed to battle driven,
And louder than the bolts Of heaven
Far flashed the red artillery.
But redder yet that light shall glow
On Lt:nden's hills Of stained snow
And hloodier yet the torrent flow
OF Iser, rolling rapidly.
IT'S morn! but carce yon setting sun
Can pierce the war clouds, rolling din,
Where furious Frank and fiery Hun
Shout in their sulphurous canopy.
The combat deepens. On, We brave.
Who rush to glory, or the grave!
Wave, Munich, all thy banners wave,
And charge with all thy chivalry!
Few. few shall part where many meet!
The snow shall be their winding sheet
And every turf beneath their feet
Shall be a soldiers sepulchre.
