CIRCULAR LETTER BY BISHOP VALTORTA

The following circular letter has been sent by H. E. Bishop H. Valtorta to all the Catholic In- stitution, in Hongkong:-

Dear Brethren in Jesus Christ. In these days when the scourge of war is heavily felt, it is our duty to intensify our prayers and also to add corporal penance in order to obtain mercy from God: "Spare, O Lord, spare Thy people whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy most precious Bicod".

Believing as we do that all war comes to the world as a punish- ment and...that the world has richly deserved It'how by its wide- spread apostasy, its disloyalty to God. its injustice. its uncontrolled pursult of pleasure and its neglect of God's Com- mandments, it is our duty towards, God and towards our neighbour to pray and to do penance.

STORY

OF BRITISH COMMONWEALTH

THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH, LIKE THE BRITISH CON- STITUTION," is rather the gradual outcome of past experiences. past personal relationships, combined with a present recognition of the principle of individual and national freedom, than any 'deliberate ruling. It allows for unity without oppression, for freedom without irksome demands and loyalty without subser- vience. The term British Commonwealth' is not old. It was coined as a convenient title for the combination of free nations under the British crown. Its first official use was in '1921 in the Anglo-Irish Treaty of that date, but it had become popular method of speaking of the Empire some years earlier.
