Father Gilmartin, C.M., of Bathurst, scathingly condemned the all too common use of profane and obscene language. He urged his congregation to be missionaries for reform in this direction, and even advised them to take the law into their own hands when other measures failed. "I contend," he said, "that people who use bad language should be compelled to discontinue the habit, even if physical force has to be resorted to. If you are in the company of people who use filthy, vile language, you should tell them to drop it. If they don't do so, well, I advise you to drop them." --- Catholic Notes, Freeman's Journal, Sydney, 27 February 1913, p 29, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article108162308: During the fifth week of Lent the annual retreat of the Sacred Heart Society will be held in the Cathedral by the Very Rev.
