The oldest Holy Union Sister in the world and the only living ,member of thecommunity who recollects meeting its founder, Father John Baptist Debrabant, hasmarked her 70th anniversary in the religious life at the Holy Union Provincial House;520 Rock Street, Fall River. She 'is Sister Mary Cordula, S.U.S.C., 94 years old in Janu-ary, and still possessing .'an Irish brogue,a twinklingIrish eye, and a .nimbleCeltic wit. "She's the eldestdaughter of the family and' theonly one who remembers thefather," said Mother Mary William, provincial, who wrote tothe congregation's motherhousein Rome to ascertain that SisterMary Cordula was indeed theoldest Holy Union religious of1,400 scattered throughout theworld.
Born, in County Limerick,Ireland, Sister entered religionin 1892 at the Athlone house' ofthe community. She was sent toFrance for her novitiate andcame to Fall River in 1895, onlynine years after the pioneerHoly Union Sisters arrived inthe city.
Except for nine years inLawrence, Mass. and a shorttime spent teaching at SacredHeart parish school, Fall River,the nonagenarian has spent herentire life as sacristan at SacredHearts Academy, Pro s p e c tStreet, also Fall River.
Far younger Sisters envy herthe keen eyesight that has enabled her to make microscopically perfect repairs to vestments and altar linens throughthe years. A special avocationhas been the crocheting of intricatly patterned ornamentations for albs.

Beloved in Christ,Next Sunday, we are asked to help in charity the
afflicted and homeless in all parts of' the world. Thiscollection is known as the "Catholic Bishops' Relief Fund."It began sixteen years ago as the "War Relief Fund," butsince a cold war took the place of a hot war, there 'are still
- the sick, the underfed, uprooted refugees, victims of naturaldisasters, and victims of persecution to be cared for.
Some idea of the importance of this charity may behad when we consider that in 1961 there were 67 fullscale programs helping the needy in at least sixty-seven'nations. Almost 40,000,000 were aide~, not just once, butover the whole year, many times. In fact, what we giveto support such charity has mearit·the differencebet~eeri,
life and death to uncounted children, ap.d this regardless 'of their color or creed. .
All the more reason then, for .us to continue ourmeasure of generous support for this vital programme,'vital,-if the image of America is' to be that of, a friendlynation,-vital, if we are to be loyal and true to the exampleand invitation of Our Blessed Lord. "Whatsoever you' havedone for one of these least, my, brethren, you have donefor me." ..
Next Sunday's Gospel tells the story of the compassionof Christ. We read how He fed the multitude with a fewsmall loaves and fishes. He wouid not send them awayhungry lest, perchance, that they might faint in the way.
Next Sunday we are asked to practice the CorporalWorks of MercY,-feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, ransoming souls from the evils of disease and squalorand want. The record of the Fall River Diocese has always.been high in sensitivity to charities such as these.
No ·parish 'is ever poorer .for what it does by· way ofrelieving pain and penury in far- off places. Just becausewe cannot see the misery does not make it any less serious.Just because it is far away does not rilakeour obligationto be compassionate any less. Our Blessed Lord tells us:"I have given y~u an example, that as I have done so youdo also." .. , . ', .' With all this in mind, let :us then open' our hearts
arid handato help the tens of millions who look for mercyand kindness especially from those whom the Lord 'hasblessed with an abundance of good things. So doing~ wewill deserve their" grateful prayers. So doing,' we hope .tomerit graces and blessings that .come from God for those
. that love their neighbor as themselves, and, by' so doing,prove that they love God above all things.
Believe me, with cordial appreciation,Devotedly yours in Christ,

- A priest-editor has cautioned Catholics againstprojecting a false image ofthe Church that could leadpeople into thinking it is somesort of power bloc.
Father Thurston N. Davis,S.J., editor-in-chief of America,
. national Catholic weekly re
. view, said that the image ofCatholics as a "weight-throwing,influence - wielding bloc ofpower in national affairs islargely - though not entirely- the product of .people's imaginations."
"We are not' organized as avast monolithic power group,nor have we any intention ofgetting ourselves so organized,"he told some 450 persons attending a Communion brea!dastsponsored by St. Joseph's Preparatory School alumni.
Window-Dressed"We mustn't fall into the
error of thinking that theChurch of Christ is somethingthat can be window-dressed andpublicized and touted as thoughit was a sort of sacred counterpart of General Motors or A.T.and T.," the priest-editor said.
Father Davis said that theChurch "is the body of .Christ,and its only 'corporate image'is and should be the God-man."
"This is the imagz we mustproject," he concluded, "and weshall do so \\ ~.en each of us ...shows forth the face of Christin personal sanctity and personal good example to the worldaround us."

"We are witnessing a fightwhich is political, economic,financial, military and social,"Bishop Sheen said. "Powershifted from East to West in thedays of Alexander the Great, andnow we see that power movingaway from us - back to Southeast Asia and Africa."
Bishop Sheen said Africa isfour times the size of the UnitedStates. He added: "South Afiicahas the prime racial problem ofthe world. There are 70 millionfollowers of Mohammed inNorthern Africa, and we havelost most of our schools there,llnd are likely to lose them Iill."
Ideals of the forthcoming Ecumenical COl.lncil on Church unityare already being implementedin tiny Martha's Vineyard, oneof Cape ~od's off-shore islands.

Rev. Henry L. Bird, Episcopalianrector, read: "This small giftcomes to you at 'the suggestionand unanimous vote of the GraceChurch Vestry, and with it goall our best wishes as you servein our Lord's apostolate withyour new church building.'
"It is a joy to be your neighbors and we look forward tocontinuing warm relationshipsas we all seek to serve ourLord."

Workers have divided theisland into areas and will poolreports to enable all churches toarrive at accurate figures oftheir own memberships. SacredHeart Church, Oak Bluffs is participating in the project alongwith St. Augustinp.'s.
Father O'Neill notes that thenew St. Augustine's is scheduledfor completion in June. It willstand as a monument not only toactive Catholic life on the island,but to friendly interfaith relations.
Says East-WestPower StruggleSp~rreft'ual ~@tt~®
SPRINGFIELD (NC) The East-West world struggle for power is a spiritualbattle between Christianityand atheistic communism, Auxiliary Bishop Fulton J. Sheen ofNew York said here.,
The national director of theSociety for the Propagation ofthe Faith told 4,50n persons inthe Illinois State Armory: "TheWest has the greatest civilizationin the world, not because it iswhite, but because it is Christian. When it loses its Christian'soul, it will lose its dominantforce.", He called today's WesternChristianity soft. "Christ hasbeen torn off the Cross," Bishop$heen said, and Christianity in,the West is like Christ withoutHis Cross-weak, undisciplined,without sacrifice.
Reds Obedient
"Communism has the cross; it'has the order, discipline, sacri':'fice and obedience," he emphasized. "The world cannot go onwith this divorce."
"Is America going to becomesoft and allow the communists tobecome strong? Will Christ recover His Cross. before the Crossfinds Christ?" he asked. "Whichwill be first? Will the Christiansof the West reclaim the peopfeoppressed by communism, orwill the communists take overthe West?"
Bishop Sheen's appearancewas sponsored by the Knights ofColumbus and the diocesan Society for the Propagation of theFaith.

"Young people have neverbeen shown their own worth,their own uniqueness," he said."Forty years ago when Msgr.Joseph Cardijn first founded,the YCW mov~ment in Belgium,he had an extr,aordinary faith inthe capabilities of young working people. He had a tremendousbelief in their' mission. He toldthe first four members theymust conquer the world.

. losses others may incur becauseof his delay in paying his debts,n'Jr does he bother to· 'plan forthe future, since he has alwaysmanaged to get by somehow inthe past. Yet his major weakness is not financial incompetency. What he lacks is' asense of responsibility.
Such persons are alwaysbasically selfish and self-centered in all their actions, forthis type of irresporisibility isessentially the' refusal to commit or give oneself deeply.
In other words, the irresponsible person is concerned withothers - even his wife andchildren - only to the extentthat they serve 'his interests.He does not see others as persons, having needs, desires, andhopes. similar to his' own, but asconvenient objects to be' manipulated .and .used.
In Initial StageThus when you write that
"everything is a joke' to him,"you t:eally mean everything buthimself, for you wil' notice that'here he himsel~ is concerned,
he manages to get what' hewants.
The problem of dealing withsuch " husband is that he lacksthe capacity of investing anenduring interest in the development of his wife andchildren.
,Marriage failed to transformhis "I" into a "we" because,like a child, his ability to lovehad not grown beyond the initialstage of desire., .
Advise FirmnessWhat can you do? Well, Vi
vian, I think your first step isto understand the situation andaccept it - at least as astarting point. This is the manyou married, and it wil: onlyincrease your frustration if yourefuse to see him as he is. .
Don't expect him to ta~e theinitative in saving, long rangeplanning, or careful investment. Experience should havetaught you that he' won't.
On the other hand, since yo,uhave made some progress. bystopping him from gambling,perhaps continue~ firmness willregister further gains.
After due reflection andthought - otherwise you willsimply nag or get emotional
. make your feelings concerninghis irresponsible spending perfectly clear to him.
Spell It OutSuch husban":"s are not easy
to get through to and often tryto divert their wives from discussing sensitive iss u e s . byjoking or getting angry, yetafter the marriage breaks up,they complain that their wivesnever let them know h~w seriously they' felt about the matter.
Your letter infe'rs that you'veabout had it. Before you move,spell it out to him clearly but show him you're deadserious. .
If he's not utterly irresponsible, he'll make some changes.At least I hope so, for oncecouples separate for this reason,I find most wives .unwilling tomake a second try.

4 THE ANCHO~-Diocese of. Fall River-Thurs. M"r. 29, 1962
By Father John L. Thomas, S. J.Asst. Sociology Prof.-St. Louis University
IIHow do you handle a spendthrift husband?" Our 10years of marriage has been nothing but debts, debts,deots. He makes good .money but half of it must go forloans. I finally got him to stop. gambling - he had a hugegambling debt when we
. married-:-yet·he still throwsmoney around freely att~verns. I don't think thisis fair. I spend as little as possible for the children and mys elf. Everything 'is a joketo him. Now hewants to borrow on his insurance policyto pay his personal debts. Ifeel the situation is gettinghopeless. He'lln eve r growup!"
In a prosperous commercial culture' such asours, it requires much moreability to use money intelligently than to earn or borrowit. As your letter suggests,Vivian, this is especially truein marriage.
Indeed, it is a matter of everyday experience 'that some couples do very well on an income that reduces others toperennial financial straits.
Stability PertinentThe problem .was probably
less acute when' people had to"make" a living, rather than"earn" it. This is to say, whenthere was economic sj:!lf-sufficiency, there was less readymoney available as well as lesstendency ,to appraise everything in terms of dollar values.
Most current studies of marriage problems report that the"spending of money" ranks highamong the sources of disagreement in the family.
In this connection it shouldbe noted that it is the lack ofconsensus on the' expenditure offamily income rather than itsamount that causes the trouble.Among -successful marriages, notincome level itself but financial stability' and security werefound to be the pertinent factors.
Money Is SymptonJust to complete the general
picture, moreover, it should bepointed out that although "insufficient income" is a factorover whicr couples frequentlyquarrel, their bickering overmoney is often a symptom ofother marital tensio'1s.
Unreconciled differences intemperament, family' g o'a Is;social aspirations, sexuol demands, and so forth, oftengenerate disputes about thespending of family income. Ins;Jch cases, "money" is a symbol, pointing to deeper problems.
Your . case presents somesymptomatic features, Vivian,since the actions an . traits youascribe to your husband indicate a type of personality thatdiffers markedly from your own.
Like most responsible peop'l, you feel that couples shouldlive according to their means,that husbands and wives shouldshare thf' burdens Jf the family as well as its joys, and thatparents should make someprovision for the future oftheir chidren.
One Step AheadYour husband is a different
type - his gambling. debts before marriage should havetipped you off! Profiting fromthe' possibilities in our 'com-
. mercial culturp, his majorf''1ancial . ~oal is to remainafloat~ to keep just one stepahead of' the bill-collectors.

Advocates PleadFather DamienBeatification'
VATICAN CITY (NC)Special honor was paid toFather Damien, SS.CC., theapostle to the lepers of theHawaiian islands, amidst thesplendor of the public consistoryat which His Holiness Pope JohnXXIII conferred red hats on hisnew cardinals,
The beatification cause of thefamous missioner, who became aleper himself, was pleaded inthe presence of the Pope. Oneother person was so honored:Father Joseph Freinademetz, anAustrian Divine Word missionary who labored for 30 years inChina.
Two velvet-robed consistorialadvocates three times presentedthemselves before the Pope'sthrone to plead in Latin for thecontinuation of the beatificationcauses of the two priests.
Ceremonial PleadingsThe pleadings are only cere
monial, however, and do not affect the status of the beatification processes. But they are amark of special honor for thelives of the Servants of God selected for such special pleading.
Damien de Veuster was bornat Tremeloo, Belgium on Jan. 3,1840, and entered the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts inOctober 1863. Provincial Houseof the Congregation in this country is in Fairhaven.
He was sent to the SandwichIsland and ten years later he petitioned to be sent to Molokai,Hawaii, to aid lepers. He arrivedthere at the age of 33 and workedto save the 800 inhabitants untilhe contracted ·leprosy himselfand died on April 15, 1889, at theage of 49.

Ecumenical Prayer
During these times in whichspiritual brotherhood is sostressed, here is a prayer thatsuch a great part of the worldrecites in common. Before Godour Father, we are all sons andour attitudc toward Him canonly be the same. The Jewishrituals for the Day of Atonementmention this prayer (and thusChrist must have recited it withthe most eminent of dispositionsand example). The prayer ispart of,the Ailglican CommunionService. It is not enough to simply say that we should be one,but as the present Holy Fatherhas Sl often stressed, we mustshow the others who are not ofthe Fold how wonderful it wouldbe for them to be among us.What an instrument this prayercould be!
During this period of consciousand conscientious effort at truepenance, our own dispositionsmust be that which would easilyhave us beg:
"Have mercy on me, 0 God, inyour goodness; in the greatnessof your compassion, wipe outmy offense. Thoroughly wash mefrom my guilt and of my sincleanse me. For I acknowledgemy offense and my sin is beforemr aiways: 'Against you onlyhave I sinned, at1d done what isevil in your sight,' that you maybe justified in your sentence,vindicated rhen you condemn.Indeed in guilt was I born andi,.. sin my mother conceived me;behold you are pleased with sincerity of heart, and in my inmostbeing you teach me wisdom.
"Cleanse me of sin with hyssop,that I may be purified; wash me,and I shall be whiter than snow.Let me head the. sounds of joyand gladness; the bones you havecrushed Mall rejoice. 'Turn awayyour face from my sinS, and blotout all my guilt.,
Ps. 50 (51, v 1-11)Holy Bible
A True Recipe
SlJ appropriate and meaningfulwas David's prayer; so full ofdivine inspiration was it thatthe Church has made extensiveuse of it through its ages. Al-
, though 'the Bible gives us three· psalms which begin' with thewords "Have 'mercy, Lord ..."
, t:lis one psalm has attained bothliturgically and musically soprp-eminent a position as to bealways commonly referred to asThe Miserere.
And whenever the Church isdesirous that her children havethese same dispositions whichanimated the' repentent David,she inserts it in her Mass, sacramental liturgy, breviary, andcommon prayers.
The Old Roman and Benedictine Breviaries ordained thisprayer for daily recitation during Morning Prayers (Laudes).Later Pope Saint Pius X partiallyrestored this custom by placingit in that part of Laudes that isrecited during a penitential season or day. The prayer found itsw~yinto the appropriate Officesof Lent, Holy Week. TheCi'urch's prayers for the deadoften repeat the prayer so as totea('h us what a sou~ before Godmust feel like and the manner inv,hich we-who soon shall follow our deceased brother or sister-should prepare. The Bishopduring his parish visitationsoften offers this prayer for himself and his flock, as he does inthe blessing and consecration ofcpurches, cemeteries, bell s ,homes, fields, and congregations.While bringing Holy Communionto the sick, a priest ii; encouragedto pray this psalm as that prayer"which is best suited for obtaining divine mercy for the sick"(Herdt, "Praxis").

The great and all powerful King David had fallen to'an all time low. People had long looked up to him not only
·as their country's benevolent ruler and savior but also·as the religious leader of the chosen people - nearly as aprophet who could hold con
'versation wit h Almighty·God and carefully, truth.fully teach his people. Nowall were shaken. This hero ofheroes had committed adulteryand murderedthe woman'shusband so asto possess herhimself as hiswife. God'schosen prophet,Nathan,issenttostrai,ghtenDavid.Ina moving lesson, theauthority of theGod whomDavid had thusoffended shakes the entire
:throne. David suddenly realizesthe terrifying effect of his act:terrifying for himself, his famly, his people.
Act of Contrition
David repents his sin. Oh, notthe brief sorrow many of us"feel" and then go about ourbusiness, but a sorrow whichwould make a saint of David asit cm: with all of us. 'David prays
,'to God and his prayer is the bestexample ever given of a sincereact of contrition, confession andsupplication. The king would notbe satisfied with the simple external sacrifice offered to Godin rcpentence of sin, his wouldbe that which would rise from acontrite and humble heart.
Such is the act which the HolyChurch begs of us during thisholy time of Lent. Such is the,act which Christ begged us to
'have as we would atone for oursins. During this the "appropriate time" He begs and warns usthat our penance be not thatwhich is broadcast to our friends(and therefore brings us celebrated praise) but that whichsprings secretly from the heart
'and is seen by God alone so that'au I' reward may come from Godand not from ,man.
OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER
THE ANCHOR-Dio~ese ~f Fall River-Th~rs.Mar. 29,1962
Comlng I
Vatican·Council
By Rev. Wm. F. Hogan, C.S.C.
Stonehill Professor ~,
Canon 228 of the Code ofCanon Law states that ailecumenical C 0 u n c i I possesses supreme power ove<!'the universal Church, but that'there can be no to anecumenicalcouncil from adecisiOB of theRoman Pontiff.
The law indicates that whilean EcumenicalCouncil· has authority over thewhole Church,it is not abovethe Pope.
In the Middle;Ages there were',so m e theologians, especiallyFrench, who taught the supremacy of general councils ovea'the Pope and even that a general council has ·the authority todepose a Pope. This was evenaffirmed in the Councils ofConstance and Basle, but theHoly See never recognized thatteaching and it can never re.cognize the supremacy of •council over the Pope.
Center of CouncilAs regards the possibility elf
a council being able to depose aRoman Pontiff, this could happen only if the Pope fell intoheresy; Jor then lie would nolonger be a member of theChurch imd could not be itehead. If the Pope should commit
, serious sins or crimes, he wouldstill be a member of the Churcband we would' still owe obe.dience to him.
That general councils cannotbe above the Pope is clear wheD.one considers that general cou~cils represent the Church. ThePope, then, must stand in thesame relation to these councilsas he does to the Church. Whilebeing its head, the Pope isneither above nor below theChurch, but in a sense its cen.ter; so, too, he will necessarilybe the center of an EcumenicalCouncil.
Pope Is SupremeA general council apart from
the Pope would be a contradiction in terms. For the Pope isthe visible head of the Church.the Mystical Body of Christ;without the Pope the Church ora general council, no matterhow large it might be, would belifeless - a corpse instead ofa living body. For this reasonthere can be no appeal to anEcumenical Council from a de-'cision of a Pope.
The action of the council isessentially cooperation with thaPope; and the value of a council,therefore, is estimated accordingto the measure of its connection.with the Pope. A council whichwould be in opposition to thePope could not be 'Said to represent the whole Church because it would not be representing the Pope, the visiblehead of the Church.
Need Papal CallA council, then, must be in
union at all time with the Popeor it is not a genuine Ecumenical Council. Indeed, the unioowith the Roman Pontiff is soessential that should the Popedie, the council is automaticallysuspended until a new Pope o~ders it to be resumed and con.tinued. And as mentioned previously, no Ecumenical Councilcan be held which is not con.voked by the Roman Pontiff,
One might think that the presence of an Ecumenical Councilwould add to the authority 01the Pope, but this is not true.The.Pope whim acting alone ha..the same supreme fullness 01power over the Church as whellhe acts together with an Ecllomenical Council. But thi~ is no.

MONDAY - Fourth Week inLent. The Christian's freedomis not a freedom from God'sjudg;nent. It is a freedom fromthe terror that judgment strikesin the heart of one who standsalone and unaided, in his humannakedness, before the Almighty,
The judgment of which bothlessons of today's Mass speak isreal for the Christian. But hedoes not stand alone. He standsin the community of which JesusChrist is Head, bearing the sealof his risen Lord. In Christ theterror of judgment is gone, andthe Judge he addresses as Father.
TUESDAY - Fourth Week inLent. The Bible (and the liturgy)is concerned not with man'sthoughts about God, but withGod's thoughts l!bout men, as theProtestant theologian Karl Barthhas emphasized. Both lessons today underline that truth. Godaddresses His people and revealsHis thoughts about them, firstthrougli Moses, His prophet, andthen through Jesus Christ HisSon. This is the glory of ourpublic worship: that it brings usinto contact with his Word.
WEDNESDAY - Fourth Weekin Lent. The theme of water andof washing lin all three lessonsand other proper parts of today'sMass directs our lenten watchfulness to the Easter Vigil, theBlessing of the Font, Baptisms,and the renewal of'our own baptismal vows.
Cleansirig and a "new spirit"are the gifts of Baptism. Negatively, the destruction of sin;positively, the grace of Christ,His Seal,and the indwelling ofthe Trinity.

The exercise ofJesus' healilbg power is in orderthat the kingdom of God (Gospel) should be made manifest.And the idea of the kingdom isone profoundly social-social asour public worship is communaland social, social as the moralobligation of social justice in theReading from Jeremias. A morality which is individualisticani private is inadequate for adisciple of Christ, for one formedby ~he liturgy of the commonsacrifice and the common meal.
TOMORROW - Friday, ThirdWeek in Lent. It was rarely thatOur Lord addressed Himself toone not of the house of Israel.The Gospel of today's Eucharisticcelebration gives us a glimpseof the universality of His message and His redeeming power.
He calls all men (in the persons of the Samaritans) to thecommunity of new life and newworship ("in spirit and intruth"). And, as the instance ofJewish unfaithfulness in the firstReading did not deprive Israelof its election, neither do ourlapses from full fidelity depriveus of ours.
SATURDAY - Third Week inLent. There is a community ofsin in the human race that placesus all in the. same fundamentalrelationship to God. But there is

Your 'Name?IsWhat,The Roman governor, Rictiovar, asked of 'the young
Quirinus, "What is your name?"And the answer came back unhesit~tingly, "My
name? Christian is my name."And no amount of questioning, no threats, could ex-'
tract any other answer.. He might have explained that his name was Quiri
nus. But he chose. a better one. He chose' the one thatwas his by the literal' fact of his Baptism. He followedin the footsteps of St. Paul who could say simply, not asa boast, but as a fact, "For me to live is Christ."
What is your name?Among all the ancients a great deal of attention was
attached to a'person's name. Its revelation was consideredas giving a sort of power to the recipient. Its communication was looked upon as something special, as something sacred.'
One might observe a man, speak with ~ him, discussmatters, impersonal and otherwise. But such. a contactwas, at best, a casual thing. Only with the exchange ofnames was there a deeper involvement. To reveal one'sname was to give away a part of oneself.
That is still so. When one meets a person today thefirst point of the meeting is to find out this person'sname. One can talk for hours with him, exchange opinionsand even confidences, but it is not until the exchange ofnames that the relationship takes. on depth and significance. The name is' the key to a person; He gives it tothose he wants to know. And these whom he wants toknow him. The gre~test insult is to refuse to give it atall. When a person wishes to hide himself he refuses togive his name or gives a false one.
As if a name could change a person! But it ~can anddoes.
So with the Christian. By Baptism he is Christian;he is, .as St. Augustine put it, ·Christ..
How many Christians .are aware of their name? Ifthey do not know that their name is really Christ, ifthey do not think of themselves by this name, if theydo not show what their name is to others, no wonder
.·that they do not act like their name, they do not ~t likeChrist. '
This is at the root of all evil.The man who is aware of his true name, Christ, win
attempt to measure up to it. The man who considers himself as John Doe, or any other combination of letters, willnot act like Christ. And so sin, evil, corruption, scandal,and - even sadder still- not only' nO sorrow for' it buteven an attempt to justify it or to deny that wrongdoingwas done.
And all because a person does not know his name.Does not know what he has been made by being unitedby Christ in Baptism.
What is your name?

People Project IdealsIt is all very well to concentrate during the month of
March on the subject of vocations - to the priesthood,religious life, married state or single state. It is all verywell to point out to young men and women the gloriesof each and all, to encourage tp.em to know themselvesthat they may decide in what st~te God wishes them tolive out this life.
It is all very well to talk about these things. But talkis more often than not outshouted by actions. And whatwill attract a youngster to the priesthood or religious lifeis not a talk on these states but a person living thesestates. What will give a young person the correct viewof marriage is not alone instruction on marriage as ahusband and wife living a holy and happy marriage. '
It is the old story of actions speaking louder than words.It is the fact of psychology that people are influencednot by ideals alone but by people whQ live those ideals.
So the answer. to the subject of vocations is to callattention of young people to people - to priests, to sisters,to brothers, to husbands and father, to dedicated menand women.
Once aware of these men and women - OIIce consciousof the reasons that led them to chose the state in life
I that they did - then the young people themselves havesomething to go on, some guide for their own action, theirown decisions.

'Vatican Council';;, Contin~ed from Page Six'
tb say that the council is of no'importance! '.
. There is a .great deal of ex-'.ternal weight, solemnity and ef:"f~ctiveness added to matters'taken up in a general council:'~nd confirmed by the Pope; thisexternal solemnity would belacking in statements made bythe Pope. alone.
Vital EffectsWhile the internal value of
the decrees of the .council confirmed by the Pope and excathedra statements by HisHoliness alone is the same, stillthe external aspects of the former are inclined to make astronger impression on thefaithful and give us a greaterrealization of the importance ofthe matter being treated. Furthermore, the very participantsin the council, the Bishops whohave personally contributed tothe decrees and definitions, willoften be more individually impressed by them and this willbave vital effects on the faithin all the dioceses throughoutthe Church.
Some of the difficulties andmisconceptions which arise inthe minds of men concerningthe authority of a general council come from the traditional'phrase "the council representsthe Church." Our minds tendto view the council in terms ofa modern democratic state andthe relatiQn'ships of Congress to~he president. .
Unique SocietyWe should bear in mind al
ways that the Pope is a monarch· with power which descendsdirectly from God; he does notreceive his power from the people., All the power of the other .officials of ,the Church comesthrough the Pope, and thusthere does not exist the parallelwith civil society. The Churchis a unique society, since it pertains to the supernatural.
We should not think eitherthat the Bishops assembled inan Ecumenical Council are thereto protect and promote therights of their particular people or dioceses. This is very f,arfrom the truth, for the purposeo~ such an assembly is not the'defense of any kind of temporal interests, but the interestsof . the divinely revealed rulesof faith and morals - theteaching and governing of thewhole Church. The concern iswith spiritual matters and with'the spiritual alone.
Pray for SuccessMuch preparation is involved
before a general council is actually held: there is the problemof lining up the matters to betreated, appointing scholars ascon~ultants and establishingvarious commissions' to takecare of preliminaries.
That is why there is usuallyan interval of some length between the announcement of acouncil and the actual start. Inaddition the Bishops must arrange many matters before theyleave their diocesses for thecouncil.
Councils ordinarily take place'only in times of crisis. This isone of the reasons why so muchprayer is required for the success of an Ecumenical Council.We should pray often these daysthat the Holy Spirit guide theChurch through the crises ofour times and bring blessingsdown upon it through the Ecumenical Council

the backside, keep these suggestions in mind:
How to Spank1. Remember the spanking
was the punishment. Don't adda verbal lashing of further penalties.
2. When angry feelings cool.express your continuing affection for your child. One fatherexplained, "I love you verymuch, but when I tell you not togo swimming without permission, I mean business."
This kind of reassurance tellsyour doubting child that youreally do care for him, but thatyou are also a just parent.
3. Evaluate the frequency andeffectiveness of spankings. Dothey really stop undesirable behavior? At what cost to you andyour youngster?
Spanking may be a mark oflazy or unimaginative parentship. If Greg destroys a neighbor's property, it is easier towallop him than explain why itwas wrong, insist upon an apology and help him repair thedllmage.
4. The real meaning and pur_pose of discipline is education.,Be sure, your child knows whyhe was spanked. And what he issupposed to do instead. Parentswho want to be more than policeme,n use reasoning and guidance.along with necessary punishments.

Earlythis year theChildren's Bureau announcedthat the problemof physical abuse of children appears to be growing. There is abig differeince, of course, between a light spanking andsadistic child beating.
However, most children fearphysical punishment far out ofproportion to the actual hurtinvolved.

LONDON (NC) - The British_"JVernment has agreed after 18
months of negotiations to approve the opening of additionalstate-supported training collegesfor Catholic teachers.
Details of the agreement between the Education Ministryand the Catholic EducationCouncil are due to be announcedshortly. The country now has 12Catholic teachers' colleges and a13th is scheduled to be openedduring 1964.
Because of the rapidly increasing Catholic child population, itis estimated that by 1970 statemaintained Catholic schools willneed an additional "12,000 teachers. They now have 18,750.
Current estimates will have tobe raised if the National Unionof Teachers has its way andmakes education authorities restrict all classes to a maximumof 30 pupils. Many Catholicschools now have 40 or morestudents in a class.

Urges CatholicSocial AgenciesExtend Work
ST. LOUIS (NC)-Catholie organizations must 'measure up' to the standards ofother agencies in a communnity to be effective, Joseph Car-'dinal Ritter said here. '
"If we want to continue toexist and have a voice in whatis going on, we've got to measureup," the Archbishop of St. Louistold the annual meeting of St.Louis Catholic Charities. "We'vegot to make our agencies moreeffective than in the past. We'vegot to extend their work intoevery part of the community."
The radical changes in theU. S. social structure during thelast two decades were underscored by another speaker,Father Bernard J. Coughlin, S.J.,of the St. Louis University socialservice school.
He said organizations ratherthan individuals now hold thepower in the U. S. social servicefield and that Catholic agencieswill be accepted by a communityonly to the extent that they meetcommunity needs.
Obligation to OthersCardinal Ritter said some pri
vate agencies in other parts ofthe nation failed to meet "racialneeds" by overlookinrr problemsof certain groups in a community. He stressed the obligationCatholics have toward other persons.
"Our blessed Lord clearlystated who our neighbor is.Everyone is our neighbor-everymember of a community," the'Cardinal said.
Pastors have an obligation notonly to their parishioners, biltto all other living persons livingwithin their parishes, the Cardinal said. That is why in theirannual report to their bishop,pastors must list the number ofall persons residing in their parishes, Catholics as well as nonCatholics, the Cardinal said.

As Paul, a Jew, Hellenized the Church at Corinth and othersites, so Pius XI, Pius XII and John XXIII have made theChurch native in as many places as possible. The New Testament Church did notbecome Latin or Greek by rejecting everything Jewish; r·ather, it perfected the latterwith Latin and Greek culture. The samething is happening today. The Church doesnot become Indian or Indonesian or Koreanby throwing off the three cultures proclaimed over the Cross on Calvary; it doesso by enriching the latter with the vestures of new civilizations.
The bishops of Africa and the Eastwho will attend the Second VaticanCouncil point up the necessity of aidingthe Church at its center, namely, theVicar of Christ. The Holy Father knew what he was doingwhen he said he must be aided "first and principally." He didnot say "only" or "exclusively," but he did establish a pyramid
of values. He alone can name native bishops - no one elsein the world can do so. Missionaries can train natives, butthey cannot build up a native hiera.chy. That must come fromthe Holy Father.

Wha.t a. chaugc .bas taken place in the miBBional'Y worldwithin the past 100 years! At the Council of the Vatican in1870, there were no native bishops from Africa, Asia or Oceania;a few Vicars Apostolic of European origin represented the mission world. Today, all of the hierachy of Japan is native, andAfrica has over 42 native bishops, a few more than Asia•.Despite persecution, or perhaPs because of it, the Chureh hashad a remarkable growth.

Style Limping'
An outline of this crowdedlife does not begin to conveythe quality of the man, thepriest, the missioner. This isbest brought home to the readerin the long excerpts from letters,books, and articles from BishopWalsh's pen which the authorhas had the good sense to include.
Mr. Kerrison has put hiscopious materials together withconsiderable organizing skill.But his style is oftelt limping,sometimes atrocious.
'China Is LOR'
In short order he had thebureau operating with maximum efficiency. But he knewthat the Reds were not to bestopped. "China," he said, "is al_ready lost." By 1949, Shanghaihad fallen to the Communists.
Bishop Walsh refused toleave. Step by step, the Communists closed in on him, harassing him, taking away hisassociates one by one, makingaccusations against him in thepress and on the radio. Hisactivities, m 0 v e men t s weremore and more restricted.
At last, there was only hismute presence, as a witness.After a spell of house arrest, hewas taken off to prison. There isno word now as to whether heis living or dead, or, if living,where he is and in what condition.
Secretary of Bureau
In his 10 year term as superior general came World War II,playing havoc with the missionsin the Orient. He had hard decisions to make. To withdrawMaryknoll per son n e 1 fromplaces where they were wellestablished, was heart-breaking,
But other fields opened up.Bishop Walsh sent missioners toLatin America and Africa, continents where, by the 1960's,hundreds of Maryknollers wouldbe entirely at home.
When his direction of thesociety ended in 1946, he wasworn out by the strains, exertions, worries from which hehad not been free for a decade.He had a period of rest in California.
Then, in 1948, he made a tripthrough the Orient and whenstopping in Shanghai, was askedto become executive secretaryof the Catholic Central Bureau,which the Papal Internunciohad set up to organize all Catholic activities in China.
Of his appointment, BishopWalsh said, "I am certainlypleased with it, would be withany that gives me the privilegeof working for the people ofChina."
Already in the 1920's BishopWalsh had run up against theCommunists in China. And already in the 1920's they showedthemselves fanatically devotedto the triumph of their cause,ruthless in serving it, and inimical to religion.
James Anthony Walsh died in1936, and James Edward, to hisdispleasure, was chosen to headthe society. It then had 546priests, brothers, students, andoblates; eight houses in theUnited States; and the missionstations.
He built on the foundationsso well laid by his predecessor,but did not hesitate to introducenew ideas and practices formulated and tested during his 18years in China.

Bishop Walsh of MaryknollLong Aware of Red Peril
By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. KennedyThere is irresistible inspiration in a new book re
eounting the career of a great churchman and a greatAmerican who, among other distinctions, enjoys the un·common one of having - and deserving to have - his bi.egraphy published while yethe lives. Written about inmany m ed i a for manyyears, he has not until now been the subject ofa whole book, but his life isso eventful and significant asto afford matter for severalvolumes.
A strenuouslife, and a fullone, his, andlikely to becrowned withmartyrdom atthe hands ofthe Communists, who s eevil designs hediscerned andspoke out against long beforethere was general awareness ofthem. It is the latter aspectwhich is particularly stressed inthe title of this biog!'aphy, Bishop Walsh of Maryknoll, Prisoner of Red China (Putnam.$4.95).
The author, Ray Kerrison,begins with an account of BishOD James Edward Walsh's trialbY' a People's Court in Shang.bai in 1960, and concludes witha description ,,~ the last knowne";'.ounter b f" t wee n BishopWalsh and a fellow Americanhjs. brother William, who wasallowed to visit him in prison.
In between, a wen-balancedand always interesting, if notalways wen written, reviewof the bishop's seven decadesis presented.
Among First MissionersHe was one of the handful of
pioneers in the old farmhouseat Hawthorne, New York, whichwas Maryknoll's first home.Like all the beginners, he wasstrongly influenced by Father.ram~s Anthony Walsh, theother co-founder, whom, yearslater, he would succeed as superior general of Maryknoll.
Ordained in 1915, FatherJames Edward was assigned tothe Venard, Maryknoll's preparatory seminary. In 1918,when Maryknoll secured itsfirst mission, in China's Kwan-
. tung province, he was one ofthe four named to launch the'-ork. Father Price was to be ineharge.
Loting was Father Walsh'spost. An arduous 220-mile journey. mostly on foot, was necessary to reach it. Once established in a house which wasfloorless, windowless, chimneyless. he investigated the state ofthe Church in the town andfound that the Catholic numberwas precisely eight. Nothingdaunted, he set about buildingahd going out to the people. and•(»on made his first converts.
Named Superiori In' 1919, Father Price died, and
Father James Edward became.against his will, superior of thelittle Maryknoll band in China.
Now more priests of thegrowing society came to joinbim. More mission stations wereopened or re-opened. Despiteobstacles and setbacks, the lightof the Faith spread.
Four years later, the Maryknoll territory was made thePrefecture Ap0stolic of Kongmoon, and Father Walsh, as firstprefect apostolic, was made adomestic prelate. In the city ofKongmoon there were only 30Catholics, but Monsignor Walshsailed ahead with the buildingof a seminary, the organizationof a language school for missioners, and other projects.
Consecrated in Sancian.In 1927 he was made a bishop,
and chose for the scene of hisconsecration the spot in his dioeese which he held most precious - Sancian, the lonely island on which St. FrancisXavier had died while awaitingadmission to China.

Science Fairs Dominate 'Activiti'es'Of All Students in PreparationFor Diocesan Fair in May
By Clemelmt J .. DowlingFather Leo J. Trese, writing in the fine magazine of
Catholic family living, "Marriage," recently declared: "Thetwo major factors involved in a child's development are(1) his biological heritage; that is, the particular set ofmental and physical equip~
ment with which he is borninto the world, and (2) hisenvironment; that is,' theparticular world "If persons,things and events into whichhe is born and in which hegrows."
FatherTrese continues "Thesetwo factors have been sum~
marized in the phrase, 'natureand nurture' and out of themevolves the adult with his ownindividual personality."
Saint Mary Urban, princip'alof Bishop Feehan High School,Attleboro, agrees and adds "Ourpurpose as teaching Sisters ofMercy is to help train and formthese young personalities thatthey might become happy andproductive citizens of this worldand saints in heaven."
Roughly one half of our highschool students' waking hoursare spent in school or doinghomework. Our 12 Diocesanhigh schools are more thanmeeting state standards as theyprovide an education aimed atfull development.

O.L.O.A. won this play-off intwo games to prove that theyare still the champions in NewBedford and capable of carryingthe laurels of New Bedford intodiocesan competition. Naturally,their aim is to retrieve theDiocesan trophy emblematic ofdiocesan basketball superiority.

It's so immoral, I'm not surethere is one. Write to the publisher? He will send you a'

One thing an incident likethis should remind us - that weare free, too. Free to buy ornot to buy. Perhaps we havelearned a lesson. We will examine every magazine now, regardless of the cover. We willbe on our guard in the future,for, as you can see, you definite_ly can not tell a magazine byits cover.

occupied as he was last month.That is why I said it was a
crime for the company to deceive us as they did. Dirty booksand filthy magazines we will a1-

Such books are known bytheir covers. But this onepretending to be on sports certainly could not be recognized. This particular issue wasnot for perverts, for even apervert would be fooled by thatcover. No, this issue seemed designed to make more pervertsand at an earlier age.
COUSy's PositionI, for one, was so angry that
I wrote to Bob Cousy, begginghim not to let the field of sportsbe invaded by the purveyors offilth. Bob too was upset as youcan imagine. To quote from hisletter: "I did not know that thestory was to be printed, nor didI know that I was to be thecover of a national magazineand I certainly was not awareof the other contents of themagazine."

Taunton Director Urges Close InspectionOf ·Magazines Before Purchasing
There is an old saying that" you can't tell a book by its cover." We might expandit to read, "you can't tell a magazine by its cover, either." Why do I say this? Lastmonth there appeared on our news-stands a 'magazine with a beautiful color picture ofBob Cousy on the cover. Everyone, especially the you n g e r generation, knows BobCousy. His achievementswith a basketball are toonumerous to mention. Let'sjust sum it all up by sayingthat he is often called simply"Mr. Basketball" or the "CourtMagician". The kids all try toimitate him. They love to watchhim play. They love to readstories about him. .
Cover Features CousySo it was that last month
Fawcett Publications (one ofthe largest in the U.S.) ran afeature article on Bob Cousy,and to call attention to thearticle placed his picture on thecover. .
It was a crime for them todo it,' in a way, for' what up tothen had been a decent magazine, with that issue became anindecent one.
There appeared page afterpage of women in various stagesof undress and some of themwithout even the usual bikini.No longer was it possible to telleven a magazine by its cover.(At least they were decentenough to cover the magazine).
Deceives PurchasersYoung boys who wanted to
read the Cousy story rushed outto buy the magazine. Perhapsyour son or grandson was one ofthose who did. Imagine theharm done to young minds bysuch easily available pictures.How many parents have seenthe magazine in Johnny's .room
Forum 'SpeakersPlease Audience
The Lenten Youth' Forum hasbegun! We really are fortunateto have such a star-studded castof speakers. We heard Dr. Vincent Paul Wright, Dean of theGraduate School of BusineslilAdministration at Boston College who gave a wonderful andinstructive talk on the growthof Communism in this country.Dr. Wright answered manyquestions following his lecture.
We have also heard Msgr.George Kerr, former AU-American football player at BostonCollege and captain of thenat ion a 1 championship andSugar Bowl football team of1941. Msgr. Kerr was excellentand gave the young men andwomen present a stirring message about the necessity of determination in the great gameof life.

to hearing Rev. Joseph Manton,C.SS.R. nationally known Redemptorist preacher who soskillfully combines humor andholiness in his homilies.
We will then have Rev. Kenneth Murphy of Rescue, Inc.;Senator Richard Caples of theSenate Subversive ActivitiesCommittee; and Bill Cleary,hockey star of the OlympicTeam which defeated the Russian hockey team in the lastOlympic games. Mr. Cleary isnow travelling for Sports Illustrated Magazine.

MINNEAPOLIS (NC) Communism is a fully organized movement against divinity, but despite this "Christis living and moving in the East,"Auxiliary Bishop Fulton J.Sheen of New York has saidhere.
.The national director of theSociety for the Propagation ofthe Faith cited Korea, whereBishop Harold Henry, C.S.C.,now has 101 seminarians contrasted with none in 1953.
In Korea, Bishop· Sheen said,there are 104 conversions perpriest each year as compared to2.8 in the United States. "This isdue to the zeal and suffering ofthe clergy," he noted. In Africa,the Bishop reported about 50 to100 seminary applicants areturned away each year.
Bishop Sheen made a specialappeal for aid to lepers, sayingthere are 10 million lepers in theworld and that his society has2,000 leper colonies. He secondeda plan by Bishop Henry thatwould have U. S. parishes"adopting" parishes in missionlands.

The present attitude towardMary held by most Protestantsis "far from the spirit and intentof Luther's Reformation," Rev.Pelikan assert~d.. She "represents principles of truly evangelical and, in the fullest sense,Catholic Christianity," he added.
He made it clear that thehonor he was suggesiing shouldbe paid to Mary in terms compatible with Lutheranism, notnecessarily identical with Catholic devotion to the BlessedMother. He discussed Mary's rolein terms of such principles assalvation by "grace alone" andjustification by "faith alone,"criticizing "the consistent effort,so prominent in the late MiddleAges, to glorify man and hisefforts at the cost of the graceand initiative of God."

Urges Closer TiesTo CombiPlt Reds
BOSTON (NC) - A Baptistminister, speaking in the Tremont Temple herEl, urged Catho-_lics and Protestants to seekgreater spiritual solidarity topresent a united front againstcommunism.
"While we cannot agreedoctrinally with the RomanChurch," Rev. C. Go I' donBrownville told his congregation, "there must be a betterunderstanding bet wee n thechurches of Christ'if we are tosave mankind with the messageof salvation."
"The world is on fire," hesaid. "One of the scandals ofChristendom, shocking to Christians and 'incomprehensible . tonon-Christians, is the divisionamong those who follow theSon of God, who claim to livein the Lord's name and find salvation .through His sacrifice onCalvary's . crOBS and His reBurrection...
ments is a well-founded fear of.Marxism. Experience has demonstrated, the Pueblo editorialpoints out, that wherever thereis considerable Marxist influence, trade union unity isillusory. .
Begs QuestionThe editorial also points out
that in totalitarian countriesunions are converted into uni·tary organizations of the Stateinstruments in the hands of thegovernment for directing andcontrolling the working class.
The Christian unions are onvery solid ground in favoringtrade union liberty as a bulwarkagainst totalitarianism. Theiropposition to Marxism is alsowell founded.
But it seems to me that theeditorial is guilty of begging thequestion when it says, withoutqualification, that trade unionsare "essentially ideological" andthat trade union unity is "necessarily totalitarian."
Wholly IndependentAmerican trade unions are
certainly not esssentially ideological. And trade union unityin the United States is not totalitarian. Whatever else may besaid for or against Americanunions, it cannot be said thatthey have suppressed religion or.
. imposed a particular philosophyor ideology upon the Americanworking> class.
Nor can it be said that theyhave tried to control or directthe lives of American workers.As the auU:ors of a recent studypoint out, "The typical Americantrade union is an organizationestablished and maintained forthe primary purpose of obtaininghigher wages and improved laborconditions. It is a wholly independent organization and is notsponsored or controlled by gov- .ernment or employers."
Has Free ChoiceThe American worker, say the
authors, "does not· regard himself as a member of a distinc.tclass set apart from other classes
. in the nation. As a worker, hehas specific economic interestswhich he wants to see activelyfurthered by a strong and pow-erful labor organization. _
"But aside from these immediate concerns, as in the case ofother Americans, the worker'schoice of a political party,church, and other organizationsdoes not rest on his particularoccupation and economic status."("The Economy of the AmericanPeople," Gerhard Colm andTheodore Geiger, National Planning Association).
While the point of view of theChristian unions with regard totrade union unity may be validin certain countries of WesternEurope and Latin America, it isnot relevant to the trade unionsituation in the United States.

American Unions have traditionally been opposed to"dual unionism." They have always maintained that thereshould be only one union for each craft or industry andhave also fav9red the ideal of a single trade union federation. At times in the historyof the American labor movement this policy has admittedly been more honored inthe breach than in the observance. Nevertheless, it remainsthe official policy of all but ahandful of dissident labor organizations inthe UnitedStates. In thisrespect,the point ofview of American unions differ s sharplyfrom that of theEuropean andLatin American unions affiliatedwith the International Confederation of Christian Unions. Traditionally the -unions affiliatedwith the IFCTU have favored aplurality of unions as the onlymeans of safeguarding religiousand ideological freedom.
Editorial ViewThe point of view of the Chris
tian unions .on this matter isstated very succinctly in an editorial entitled "Trade UnionPluralisll'" in the February 1962issue of Pueblo, the official organ of the autonomous Christianunions of Venezuela. This editorial makes the following pointsamong others:
The working class needs acertain unity of trade union ac:tion, but this does not ~ean thatall workerf in a given craft orindustry must necessarily belongto one and the same union. Onthe contrary, "Christian socialteaching stands for trade unionfreedom."
This freedom, respecting thedifferent trade union tendencies(philosophies or ideologies) andthe pluralism of trade uniongroups, must be given first placeas against trade union monopoly.Trade unkn monopoly is said tobe "necessarily totalitarian."
Endangers FreedomTrade unionisim is "essentially
ideological." The establishmentof a new social order, the Puebloeditorial explains, calls for aprogram and consequently aconception or philosophy of theworld and of man.
Trade union unity imposed byfavoring one tendency or ideology over another is the preludeto a trade union system withoutfreedom. Moreover, the editorialcontends, such a unified tradeunion system rapidly becomesbureaucratic. It neglects the interests of the workers and becomes preoccupied with othermatters.
Trade union pluralism "clarifies the situation." It permitsminorities to express their ownparticular point of view and itserves the cause of the workerand the unity of trade union action better than a central unifiedmovement can hope to do. Theunity of the latter type of movement is said to be fictitious andmerely a facade.
Underlying all of these argu-

Beauty of Prayers
On this debate of the Latinv. the vernacular, it is of interest to read the recently pubJished correspondance of thelate Rose Macaulay, the En"Ush novelist and essayist, andthe late Father Hami'lton Johnson, member of the Anglicancommunity known as the Cowley Fathers.
,It· was through him that shereturned, late in 'life, to Anglican ,faith and practice; eventhrough one is struck, throughout, by the constant, almostnagging, awareness of the Catholic Church.
But the point is that in themind .of these two culturedmoderns there was and couldbe no substitute for the Latinprayers of the missal and breviary. Pages of the cor'respondance are devoted to an analysisof these prayers, their historyand meaning, and to- the warmest and most enthusiastic ap.:.preciation of their beauty.
It struck this reader as justslightly ironic that while somany Catholics tOday have beeninveighing against the continueduse of Latin in the liturgy andplumping for the vernacular .inMass and Sacraments, twoAnglicans should be discovering,with shouts of joy, the treasuresof the liturgy in' the ilncienttongue. Perhaps we ,would dowell to take a long second lookbefore we are tempted to j'etti':'son somethingwhicll, 'if not'essential to the Faith, has .beenour tradition and has nourishedour roots.
Perhaps this is precisely whatHis Holiness Pope John XXIIIhad in mind when he addressedthe Church on the subject theother day.

He warned the directorsagainst secularistic tendenciescreeping into the field of socialwork, addIng: "Religious influences must not be removed fromconsideration in the importantmission of cocial work."

Cites Experience
Yet for all that the vernacularhas not prevented the declineof religion ip the areas chieflyaffected by the Reform.
Granted that there are many,other reasons which' explain,in whole or in, part, the de-
,Christianization 'of 'lTI 0 d ernEuropean society in those areas,it is still true that the immediate understanding of theliturgy in 'terms of the commonlanguage has not significantlydelayed this process.Th~ point is that if the ques
tion were as vital as some proponents claim it to be, it oughtto be able to invoke experiencein its favor. But it seems thatthis cannot be done.
Demands Eloquence
Perhaps a major difficulty inthe way of the vernac'ular as asubstitute for Latin in theliturgy is the demand it makesfor eloquence on the part ofthe priest or minister. .
Eloquence, histrionic talent,or' simply the abil,ity to readwell in public, with the properemphasis and the requiredclarity, these are rare gifts.Some possess a native benttoward them,' others acquirethem by dinj;'"ltof hard struggle,but many more, perhaps themajority, never master them.
