NEWS AND NOTES TTEFORE another batch o f “ News and Notes ”

is printed, the Lent o f 1932 will have opened. Once more, we beg layfolk to keep it as " a Lent with the Liturgy.” There are now thousands of busy men and women who act every year upon The Tablet’s reiterated suggestion that the best prayer-book is the Missal and that, even when we cannot hear week-day Masses, we ought to appropriate to ourselves those rich Mass-Propers which are provided for every day from Ash Wednesday to Low Sunday. A few shillings will buy a complete Missal, in Latin and English, which will be a possession for life.

Friday of next week is the tenth anniversary of our H oly Father’s Coronation as Sovereign Pontiff. Under the management of the Society for the Maintenance o f the Apostolic See, this happy day will be celebrated in Westminster Cathedral. At four o ’clock in the afternoon, during Benediction, a Te Deum will be sung ; and afterwards His Eminence Cardinal Bourne, Archbishop o f Westminster, will hold a reception.

Hardly one in a thousand o f those who read these lines can be bodily present at next Friday’s Te Deum in Westminster Cathedral. But most of us, if we make an effort, can hear Mass on that day for the Holy Father’s intentions. Therefore we offer advice. During Mass, at the very beginning o f the Canon, attentive Catholics have noted the words una cum famulo tuo Papa Nostro N . ; “ together with Thy Minister, Pius, our Pope.” Una is a strong little Latin word. It means that we are much more than companions and associates of our Holy Father when he himself says Mass in Rome. We are “ one ” with him. What is done at a Catholic altar is not all the celebrant’s doing. There is Catholic truth in that doctrine o f the Universal Priesthood o f Believers which Protestants fondly cherish as their very own. After the priest has offered the Bread and the Wine, he turns t o the faithful charging them to pray that " m y sacrifice and yours ” may find favour at the throne o f God. The humblest Catholic can and should unite himself with the far-away Pontifex Maximus as well as with the visible priest at the near-by altar when the Canon begins. To do so next Friday will be a pious and a profitable work.

Many things were in Mr. Arthur Henderson’s disfavour when he stood up t o inaugurate the Disarmament Conference at Geneva, last Tuesday. First, there was the speaker’s knowledge that his persistence in clinging to the chairmanship was resented by millions o f his fellow-countrymen and by not a few o f the foreign delegates.
