Editorial

...

Two books — one by a group of Anglicans, the other by a French Lutheran — have recently been published overseas. The subject of both is the place of Our Lady in the Christian life. The titles are: "The Blessed Virgin Mary — Essays by Anglican ivriters" and "Mary: Mother of the Lord Figure of the Church'" by Max Thurian. These books show a growing awareness in Protestant faiths of Mary's crucial place in Christian spirituality; and we may count them as heartening evidence of the success of the Ecumenical movement. As this editorial is addressed chiefly to girls educated in the convents of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, may we stress that a warm and filial devotion to this Sovereign Lady is our best contribution to the healing of the wounds of Christendom. In devotion to Our Lady our hearts become receptive to the Holy Spirit, and we help to spread the Kingdom of Christ on earth, for, as the liturgy of the Mass tells us, Mary gave to the world the Everlasting Light.

His r e l u c t a n c e to leave t h e " B i g - s m o k e " is e x p l a i n e d b y this " h o b b y " .

I n f a c t his w h o l e f r a i l f o r m seems to s h a k e w h e n his f e e t a r e used as p r o p s . H e is a typical A u s t r a l i a n b u s h m a n ( O h !

T h e w e a t h e r b u r e a u is p u t to s h a m e by his very a c c u r a t e p r e d i c t i o n s .

W h e n it does r a i n it r a i n s a deluge, so t h i s is Skeeta's c h a n c e f o r a well deserved " h o l i d a y , " as h e calls it.

This picture hardly conveys the delicacy of the pencil drawing by the great Australian artist, Lionel Lindsay. He drew it forty years ago and the original ( 7 x 9 ins.) is in our possession. The sketch shows a corner of the home of the Mann family, at Mt. Wilson, in the Blue Mountains. Descendants at Normanhurst are the Burfitts and McNamaras.

Up u n t i l 1960, Dr. T u r p i n h a d a p r o s p e r o u s p r a c t i c e i n K e n t u c k y in t h e U n i t e d States. A n d yet be lias given u p all of this to h e l p t h e Chinese r e f u g e e s in H o n g K o n g . It is easy to w r i t e of such a sacrifice, a n d t h i n k little m o r e of it. O u r interest h e r e at Mary's M o u n t was first a r o u s e d last year, w h e n we caw some slides s h o w n by Mr. B u r k e , of t h e C h a m b e r of C o m m e r c e , w h e n he r e t u r n e d f r o m H o n g K o n g .

T h i s y e a r o u r interest was r e n e w e d with t h e arrival of Dr. T u r p i n in B a l l a r a t . Despite all we see and h e a r of t h e c o n d i t i o n s in t h i s r e m n a n t of C h i n a , it is so v e r y h a r d f o r us, living in t h e l u x u r y t h a t A u s t r a l i a p r o v i d e s f o r us, to i m a g i n e f u l l y t h e a b s o l u t e s q u a l o r and b a c k w a r d n e s s of H o n g K o n g in some areas. O n e o b s e r v e r writes of i t : " I t is i n d i s c r i b a b l e !

THE IDEAL HOLIDAY

My C h r i s t m a s h o l i d a y s w e r e s p e n t at B r i g h t a n d A u s t r a l i a n Alps. B r i g h t is a village in t h e n o r t h - e a s t section of V i c t o r i a , b u t it is progressing r a p i d l y because it is a great t o u r i s t a t t r a c t i o n in all seasons. B r i g h t is s u r r o u n d e d by t h e p i c t u r e s q u e m o u n t a i n s such as Buffalo, B u l l e r , Bogong and H o t h a m . T h e p o p u l a t i o n of B r i g h t is a p p r o x i m a t e l y five h u n d r e d .

M e l b o u r n e ! S y d n e y ! Magical n a m e s of cities on t h e E a s t e r n side of A u s t r a l i a !

My great e x p e c t a t i o n s were f u l f i l l e d in August, 1963, w h e n I h a d t h e privilege a n d p l e a s u r e of a t t e n d i n g t h e S e m i n a r h e l d at N o r m a n h u r s t f o r senior L o r e t o s t u d e n t s f r o m Sydney, B r i s b a n e and P e r t h . W h a t will t h e y be l i k e ? I asked myself over a n d over b e f o r e I left. W h a t will t h e L o r e t o Convents be l i k e over t h e r e ? W h a t will t h e L o r e t o girls be l i k e ? L i k e o u r s ? L i k e u s ? Surely n o t ; H o w could those girls, used t o e v e r y t h i n g big city life has to offer, its s o p h i s t i c a t i o n , its h u s t l e a n d bustle, its i m p e r s o n a l air. H o w c o u l d t h o s e girls h a v e ever e x p e r i e n c e d t h e c a l m serenity, t h e f e e l i n g of security a n d f e l l o w s h i p t h a t typifies o u r L o r e t o Convents h e r e in W e s t e r n A u s t r a l i a ?

I n t h e very s h o r t stay I h a d in M e l b o u r n e , I, with two of m y f r i e n d s , was f o r t u n a t e e n o u g h to visit t h e m a g n i f i c e n t M a n d e v i l l e Hall. W h i l e w e were b e i n g shown over this t r u l y elegant school, I h a d a comfortable feeling that I had been there before.

Mt. B u f f a l o is an i d e a l p l a c e f o r a h o l i d a y .

A FILM D u r i n g t h e holidays I went to see t h e film, " L a w r e n c e of A r a b i a " . T h i s is t h e best film I h a v e ever seen in m y life.

T h e Bishops of A u s t r a l i a h a v e s a i d : " T h e training of y o u n g m e n and w o m e n in Catholic Action is a t h r e e - f o l d e n t e r p r i s e — a t r a i n i n g of t h e h e a r t , a t r a i n i n g of t h e m i n d , and a t r a i n i n g of t h e will". T h e h e a r t stands f o r love, of w h i c h t h e r e are two requirements: to love God a n d t o love o u r n e i g h b o u r . H e n c e , t h r o u g h o u r study a n d discussion of t h e G o s p e l we a r e t r a i n e d t o love God m o r e ; by s t u d y i n g His l i f e we c o m e to k n o w H i m b e t t e r , f o l l o w H i s e x a m p l e m o r e closely, a n d to love H i m more deeply. We see h o w H e meets h u m a n situations, bow H e t r e a t s p e o p l e ; H e inspires us in o u r efforts to h e l p o u r fellow-students, and so we c o m e to love o u r fellow-students m o r e .

Those who attended the Conference favoured the P a r i s h Y.C.S., i.e., a l e a d e r ' s g r o u p consisting of l e a d e r s w h o h a d t r a i n e d in t h e i r p a r t i c u l a r schools, h a v i n g t h e P a r i s h P r i e s t as t h e i r C h a p l a i n , if possible. T h i s would n o t , of course, t a k e the p l a c e of t h e Y.C.S. with w h i c h m o s t of us are f a m i l i a r , h u t would merely be another branch.

L i k e t h e Apostles, we n e e d to k n o w t h e t r u t h t h a t C h r i s t teaches. W e can find it o u t f r o m several sources — sermons, books, religious i n s t r u c t i o n at school.

E v e r y o n e agreed as to t h e i m p o r t a n c e of t h e i n t r o d u c t i o n of Y.C.S. in t h e H i g h School, as t h e r e is a wide scope f o r t h e a p o s t o l a t e ; C a t h o l i c s t u d e n t s w h o a t t e n d State H i g h Schools h a v e a h a r d e r b a t t l e t h a n those of us w h o a t t e n d Catholic Schools, as t h e y do not h a v e t h e h e l p t h a t we have, and Y.C.S. c o u l d h e l p t h e m very m u c h . Some l e a d e r s told us about t h e i r e x p e r i e n c e s a f t e r i n t r o d u c i n g Y.C.S. into t h e H i g h School, h o w t h e y went a b o u t it, a n d t h e i r successes.

Y.C.S. t r a i n s o u r will, too. It is n o t all t a l k ; we m u s t act, as apostles. O u r will m a k e s us a c t ; in Y.C.S. we t r y to act on definite, existing situations. At m e e t i n g s we r e p o r t and discuss w h a t we h a v e noticed a b o u t the lives of s t u d e n t s a n d on w h a t we h a v e t r i e d to do to h e l p or influence students, a n d to m a k e ourselves a n d t h e m m o r e like Christ, o u r leader. R e g u l a r r e p o r t i n g t r a i n s us to be definite a n d also e n c o u r a g e s us w h e n we see s o m e r e s u l t of o u r w o r k . H o w e v e r , in most cases, we will not see very s t a r t l i n g results — only God will see t h e m . B u t w h e n o u r w o r k f o r Christ seems to be a c o m p l e t e f a i l u r e , we can t a k e c o u r a g e by l o o k i n g to His work — it seemed to be t h e worst f a i l u r e w h e n H e was crucified by His enemies, b u t really it was t h e greatest success.

T h e result of t h e C o n f e r e n c e was t h e r e - a r r a n g i n g of t h e Y.C.S. m e e t i n g p r o g r a m m e w h i c h will b e m o r e on t h e original basis of See, J u d g e and Act.

MY IMPRESSION OF COMING TO A SCHOOL IN A NEW COUNTRY C o m i n g to a school in a c o u n t r y c o m p l e t e l y u n k n o w n t o m e , is one e x p e r i e n c e I never will f o r g e t . T h e n i g h t b e f o r e m y first d a y at L o r e t o 1 c o u l d t h i n k of n o t h i n g else e x c e p t w h a t t h e m o r n i n g would b r i n g . I w o n d e r e d w h a t t h e girls would t h i n k of m e : W o u l d t h e y be a b l e to u n d e r s t a n d m e w i t h m y accent. I was so w o r r i e d t h a t e v e r y o n e w o u l d ask m e questions a b o u t C a l i f o r n i a I w o u l d not b e able to answer, I a l m o s t f e l t like r e a d i n g t h e w h o l e h i s t o r y and e v e r y t h i n g a b o u t t h e g e o g r a p h y of California.

She was b o r n on C h r i s t m a s E v e at o u r h o m e n e a r Alice Springs in 1962. H e r m o t h e r " S w e e t i e " a n d her father, "Taranga," had both come f r o m Darwin w h e r e these a n i m a l s a r e n a t i v e t o t h e s u r r o u n d i n g c o u n t r y . My b r o t h e r a n d I were s t a n d i n g n o t f a r f r o m t h e p h a l a n g e r ' s cage w h e n we h e a r d a little cry. W e l o o k e d at e a c h o t h e r f o r a m o m e n t puzzled at this strange sound. W e r u s h e d t o t h e cage a n d p e e r e d i n t o t h e d i m hollow log w h e r e Sweetie lay b l i n k i n g sleepily u p at u s ; she did n o t usually w a k e u n t i l n i g h t f a l l . Close t o h e r we saw two t i n y replicas of Sweetie, t h e i r delicate s l e n d e r tails t i g h t l y c u r l e d a n d t h e i r eyes not o p e n yet. W e w e r e excited. L a t e r we n a m e d t h e m " P i n k E a r s " a n d " B r i g h t E y e s " because later, w h e n h i s eyes were o p e n e d , t h e y were as b r i g h t as p o l i s h e d black glass.

By t h e t i m e I a r r i v e d at t h e school I was so w o r r i e d I could h a v e cried. An h o u r l a t e r I could h a v e l a u g h e d at all m y f e a r s . E v e r y o n e was so n i c e to m e — I felt r i g h t at h o m e . Still I was t r y i n g to watch c a r e f u l l y t h e p r o c e d u r e with w h i c h t h e classes were c o n d u c t e d . I h a d never b e f o r e said a p r a y e r in school, n o r w o r n a u n i f o r m . I p r o b a b l y gave a p r e t t y p o o r i m p r e s s i o n m y first days at Loreto, because I did n o t k n o w we were to stand u p w h e n we w e r e addressed by a n u n . The school system is very d i f f e r e n t , b u t 1 feel I h a v e b e c o m e accustomed to it now. T h e kindness, a n d p a t i e n c e of all t h e n u n s and c e r t a i n l y all t h e girls has m a d e m e feel at h o m e . T h e n u n s a n d girls at L o r e t o a r e really t h e first A u s t r a l i a n s 1 got to k n o w . If all t h e Australians, are as nice as m y f r i e n d s at L o r e t o , A u s t r a l i a t r u l y h a s s o m e t h i n g t o be p r o u d of.

" P i n k E a r s " h a s t h r e e chief needs — p l e n t y of food, a w a r m b e d a n d c o m p a n i o n s h i p , as p h a l a n g e r s , b y themselves, usually die of loneliness. She has a f a i r l y spacious h o m e a n d ideal sleeping q u a r t e r s . H e r cage is t h e f r a m e of a b a b y ' s cot covered w i t h chicken-wire a n d a m p l y f u r n i s h e d with b r a n c h e s on w h i c h to p r a c t i s e h e r gliding a n d j u m p i n g a r o u n d . H e r b e d is a hollow log, one end of w h i c h is stuffed with a piece of old b l a n k e t . I n w i n t e r she has a box w i t h an old w a r m s h i r t a n d an electric hot water bottle. T h e l a r g e cage allows h e r a good deal of space a n d we o f t e n t a k e h e r on c h a p e r o n e d tours of t h e house. She is q u i t e h a p p y w h e n c u r l e d u p in o u r pockets. P i n k E a r s o b j e c t s to loud noises,

I REMEMBER

FROM ORION, ILLINOIS

My years at Loreto, N o r m a n h u r s t , covered t h e s p a n 1906-1916. At this t i m e t h e r a i l w a y station was not a r e g u l a r stop. I n t e n d i n g passengers h a d to wave a big, green flag, m a d e of m e t a l , with a l o n g handle and shaped something like a tennis racquet, only q u i t e r o u n d . It was f a s t e n e d to t h e w a l l b y a long, strong c h a i n . As t h e t r a i n a p p r o a c h e d , one waved t h e flag, a n d t h e big e n g i n e h a l t e d to puff d i r t y smoke in one's f a c e by way of greeting. Now, o u r trains glide to a discreet stop w h e r e even t h e doors open a n d close f o r us.

T h e letter w h i c h follows wras w r i t t e n by Rev. C. J.

F e b r u a r y 16th, 1964.

Mrs. R i t c h i e was t h e station-mistress a n d k n e w us all.
