LONDON SLAVS HONOUR THEIR PATRON SAINTS High Mass at St. James's, Spanish Place

High up on a mountain in Moravia— Mount Radhost—stand the statues of two hrothers—Saints—Cyril and Methodius. They brought Christianity to the Slav people in the ninth century, and Czechoslovaks and Poles in London came together at the church of St. James's, Spanish Place, on Sunday, to celebrate their feast.
The rector of the church where the shrine of St. Methodius is kept, the famous monastery of Welehrad in South Moravia, is now in a concentration camp.
Bishop Gawlina officiated at the Solemn High Mass and Polish officers formed the choir, singing with that faith and vigour that is the Slays' individual contribution to the Catholic Church. No rare can pierce the skies with music as the Slays can. The " Hosannahs "—the " Dona Nahis Pacent,s" leave this world a long way behind.
And there was Father Vesely, lately ordained in this country, to talk to his own people, first speaking in English, saying that the two saints they were honouring were not only apostles but shepherds and teachers. Beneath their statues on that high mountain were written words they had often written: " Justice will endure for ever." " And if," said Father Vesely, " cornplaints and sounds of suffering are coming to those saints to-day from our oppressed people, they are answering: Injustice can only last for a short time—but it will pass —and Justice will prevail."
Father Vesely spoke in Polish and in Czech, and he referred in English to St. James's—" this thrice hospitable church, for we are not strangers here."
Father Hala represented Mgr. Sramck, the Czcchslovak Prime Minister, and a number of Czech and Polish officials and officers were also present. After the prayer for the King the choir sang the British National Anthem.
