How Does Network Answer This One National television network CBS went ahead with its pro~ramming Tuesday evening of the first of a two-part repeat of the television comedy Maude episodes on abortion. Many CBS affiliate stations' refused to carry the sequence and many sponsors refused to sponsor it. Protests were heard from pro-life groups including many vocal Catholic

groups who objected to the show's presentation of the 47year old mother's decision to terminate a pregnancy by abortion. The CBS television network is the same one that dropped one of its top 10 shows, Bridget Loves Bernie, after understandable protest from the Jewish community. Its determination to go ahead with the Maude episodes is difficult to uderstand in the light of that decision. A serious objection to the Maude shows is that it presents A Mass for the deaf and hard- abortion as Bishop James S. of-hearing in the Diocese of Fall Rausch said, "in this obe-sided River will be offered at 3 o'clock unanswerable fashion."

Bishop Confirms Parish Change Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River, has confirmed the appointment proposed ·by Very Rev. Edmund Szymkiewicz, O.F.M. Conv., Minister Provincial, of Rev. Fabian Zator, O.F.M. Conv., as assistant at Holy Cross Parish, Fall River. The appointment is effective this week.

The message follows: Two months ago the Supreme Court of the United States decided several cases involving aid to nonpublic .education. These decisions, as they pertain to elementary and secondary education, were without excep~ tion negative. Although the Supreme Court had previously upheld several forms of assistance to nonpublic education and the new decisions do not take- away anything previously held to be constitutional, the net effect of the court's action is to block, at least for now, any new, significant help from public sources for our schools, their students, and parents.

Others have criticized these decisions on legal' grounds and will continue to do so. We do not intend to repeat here what has ah;eady been said or to anticipate what will be said. The decisions were disappointing, and we regard them as unjust. But they are a fact. We must now live with that fact; While efforts to find new, constitutional methods of public assistance will continue, it is clear that our planning for Catholic schools must, for the present, be based on our own efforts and sacrifices. Parents, first of all, whose .children benefit directly from Catholic schooling, must be prepared to continue to shoulder

their financial burden. The Catholic community at large, at the parish and diocesan levels, must continue and increase its support of the schools, w.hich play such a vital role in the educational mission of the Church. In particular, as the Second Vatican Council has said, the Catholic community must "spare no sacrifice in helping Cathollic schools fulfill their function in a continually more perfect way, and especially, in caring for the needs of those who are poor in the goods of this world." Finally, we must hope that the general community, recognizing the unique .and precious contribution of religiously inspired education Tum to Page Six

Archdiocese Sells Rare Manuscript To Und~rwrit'e Seminary Expenses LONDON (NC)~The Catholic archdiocese of Westminster has sold one of English Catholicism's great treasures, a rare manuscript of medieval music, to help cover the costs of the archdiocesan seminary's move to central London. The manuscript, dating back to the 14th century, has been sold to the British Museum for a price believed to be about $150,000. Earlier this year, the 112-page volume was withdrawn from public' auction when it failed to bring a price of about $140,000. Wealthy foreign bidders refrained from making offers because they knew they probably would not be allowed to take the manuscript out of the country. The sale will help the archdiocese move its major seminary, St. Edmund's at Old Hall Green· near Ware in . Heitfordshire, some 25 mUes into central London so that students can more easily attend Heyhrop College, a Catholic school for. theology and philosophy, which moved some years ago into the London area from the English Midlands to link up with the big· London University complex. The manuscript is known as the Old Hall Manuscript. Originally compiled for the English Chal'el Royal in the reign of'

Henry IV (1399-1413) with a few later additions, it is the most important 'collection of preReformation English liturgical music. Its 112 leaves contain 147 compositions mostly by named composers including many polyphonic settings for Mass. Much of this music is not found anywhere else. Little is 'known about its tory after the Reformation it came into th e possession man who presented it to Hall in. 1893.

Fall River Native, Husband, Found Unique Retreat Hous,e .in .Yulan, N. t: c

A Fall River native is one of the founders of a retreat house which may be the first in the United States run by laymen. She is Jeanne Kay Wolf, granddaughter of a former Fall River mayor and graduate of Sacred Hearts Academy. She and her husband George Wolf, have for nearly two years conducted the Inn' of the Spirit in Yulan, N. Y. The couple have had 10 years experience working for Catholic Relief Services-U.S.C.C. in Hong Kong, Pakistan, Vietnam and Malaysia, in addition to Mr. Wolf's serviCe 'as Director of Deveiopment at the C.R.S. headquarters in New York. The Inn invites prayer communities, CFM groups, GCD teach:ers groups, parish councils,

ical groups in this country there is a 'lot of soul-searching going about the social and political implications of the Gospel. During the past few years The Christian Century, among other religious journals, has featured some excellent reports on this highly significant mqvement .within the evangelical community. I would recommend one of these reports in particular-an article by Richard J. Mouv of Calvin College, Grand Rapids, Miohigan, entitled "Evangelicals and Political Activism" (The Christian Century, Dec. 27, 1972). If Rabbi Brickner missed this article when it first appeared, he owes it not .only to our evangelica brothers, but also to his own constituents, to read it very carefully 'before he makes another pronouncement 'on the subject he discussed 'in Washington around the end of May. My guess is that he will 'be favorably impressed by the article, and my. hope is that he will look for an appropriate opportunity to. say so publicly-in fairness to all concerned and for the good of the inter-religious 'movement which his own organization is in the business of promoting.

Keep Counsell~ng, Service Busy TOKYO (NC)-During the first year of operation of a 24-hour-aday, seven-day-a-week telephone counselling -service backed by Protestant and Catholic groups here, 58,141 calls came in, according to the now published annual report. The report covers activities of Inoohi no Denwa (Telephone of Life) from O'ct. I, 1971 to Sept. 30, 1972. The. total figure does not indicate the number of different persons calling the service. Many callers are chronic callers. In other cases a person may be re-_ corded on a tape recorder several times before reaching a telephone counsellor, Counsellors answered 30,169 calls and' carried on conversations in 23,828 of these. The service had a daily average of about 83 calls. Women

outnumbered men callers by 5,912 and the most frequent number of calls came from men and women in, the age range of 18-30 years. Men most frequently call concerning sex ... man-woman rela~ tions, marital relations, the worth of living and anxiety. Women most frequently call concerning family relations, manwoman relations, marital relations, worth of ~iving and anxiety. One of the most noticeable differences between male and female callers in the school age group was the degree of concern about sex. Calls about sex problems came from 110 junior-high and 290 high-school boys, compared to four junior-high and nine high-school girls. The service is located in the Tokyo Lutheran Center.

Happiness Is, . . . Bread of Life Chorale BY PAT McGOWAN

Happiness is the Bread of Life Chorale. Its nine young singers and guitarists were heard recently at Holy Name Church, Fall River, and they brought with them their special brand of joy in the Lord, inviting the congregation at a Saturday vigil Mass to join them in song and praise.

Cardinal Offers ' Scouts' Mass MORAINE STATE PARK (NC) -With some 15,000 scouts and adult leaders in attendance, Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York concelebrated Mass with four bishops and a priest at the 1973 Boy Scout Jamboree-East here in Pennsylvania. Cardinal Cooke was assisted in distributing Communion to the 13,000 communicants by 30 priest-chaplains. The cardinal wore vestments sewn especially for the service and which showed. the official Jamboree patch on front and back-a tree and sun, emphasizing God's gifts of nature. While addressing the scouts, Cardinal Cooke said, "As scouts, your community at the Jamboree must necessarily be one of service and sharing, for so your scout laws and promises decree. This is what our beloved country is all about ... a community dedicated to serving others." . .Those concelebrating Mass with the Cardinal were Bishop William G. Connare of Greensburg, Pa.; Bishop V'incenrt M. Leonard of Pittsburgh;. Bishop Joseph Hodges of Wheeling, W.Va.; Auxiliary Bishop James Michaels of Wheeling; and Father James Le Bar, publicity chairman of the :National Catholic Committee on Scouting, Kingston, N. Y.

"We are not here to entertain, we're here to build the body of Christ," said' Edward Botelho, chorale leader, explaining that his singers are part of a charismatic prayer group that meets weekly at St. Patrick's Church, also Fall River. "We're just a part of the community," he said. ,J The prayer group, now numbering about 100 members of all ages, has met for more than a year in St. Patrick's lower church at 7:45 each Friday night. Usually there is a Mass and members share with each other examples of the working of the Holy Spirit in their lives. There is also much spontaneous prayer, song and reading of Scriptures. And there's an infectious joy. "We're always together," said one of the girl members of the chorale, explaining that the ,spirit of the group overflows into frequent get-togethers in addition to the formal prayer meeting. Chorale members, said Botelho, rehearse weekly for two or'three hours. "But it's not just a rehearsal. We pray and share and get to know and love each other." The young people have also been heard at St. Anne's and Notre Dame churches in Fall River as well as at St. Joseph's, Newport; and they sing once a month for a parish Mass at St. Patrick's. They've been meeting as a separate group since January, said Botelho, and' their number includes four guitarists and a flutist. ' As well as Botelho they are Francis' Franco, Sue Tremblay, Bob Andrade, Charlene Brodeur, Donna Freeman, Al Corvello, Mark Tremblay and Stan Kosmo. Most are workers, with two students in the group.

Cannot Fail Many of the young people who attend the St. Patrick's prayer group had been on drugs and away from participation in church activities, said Botelho. "Th,ere was a boy a few weeks ago," he related,"who came to a meeting, then came back the next week and told us he'd attended Sunday Mass for the first time in five years." The group is part of the Catholic Pentecostal movement, a grass roots phenomenon that has . sprung up in many parts of the world in the past few years, gathering support from many bishops and priests. At a recent meeting held at Notre Dame University, some 20,000 Pentecostalists were in attendance. Pentecostal Catholics describe themselves as "a community of Christians trying to live the Christian life much like th~ Christians in the early Church. We are people who have begun to experience the- reality of Jesus and the 路power of the Holy Spirit transforming and changing our whole life." Said Botelho, "It's a movement of God and it cannnt fail. There's so much hate in this city, and drugs, but God is not asleep. Those who have eyes and ears can see that he's working." He was working in Holy Name Church last week. Members of the congregation came spontaneously to the sanctuary after Mass to thank the Bread of Life Chorale for its contribution to the liturgy, including a closing hymn, "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." Afterwards one woman summed it all up. "What a difference it makes," she said "when people really mean what they're singing."

Right for All

.. '

•

One of the attempts to make government more responsive to the needs of the peopl~and more palatabl~ is the establishment of the office of "ombudsman"-a word from a Swedish phrase that means "agent of justice." It comes down to this: a man is appointed to aid people in their search for justke, to channel their questions or complaints into the right areas, to give them the assist of a sympathetiC and knowledgeable official who can cut through red tape, make the necessary telephone calls, deal with a person and his problems on a human level. All too qften people have become discouraged and disillusioned with government because they see it as a computer type operation. They want to know that there is a concerned person willing to listen to them and to answer them and to help them. :. A variation of the "ombudsman" approach is that of branch city halls-once again an exampl~ of government on a smaller and more personal scale. What comes through is the fact that people want to be recognized for what they are - as individuals with rights and dignity deserving to be treated with reverence and respect. On the other hand, of course, there is the frightening fact that this very quality of reverence that people demand for themselves is being denied to others. Certainly the legal: zation ot' abortion is a breaking down of the reverence with which all human life should be treated. The calling into question of what to do with the aged and senile and incurably ill is' a frightening instance of what could be further attacks on life. , It is good that people want to be treated by governmEmt and by one another as special individuals deserving of reverence and respect. They reject the impersonal and cold approach. Now ret them realize that what they claim for themselves must be given to others and especially to the unborn, to the aged, to those who have no voice or little voice with which to speak for themselves.What is right for one is right for all. .

Dr. Papola asked: "Where is there dignity when a physician, who has been trained to preserve life, intEmtionally gives a patient an overdose of narcotics or injects air into the pattient's bloodstream because the patient has an in'curable disease?" Dr.: Papola continued: "The psychiatrist who approves abortion because of his pregnant patient's mental anxietay is admitting in fact that he cannot treat his patient's mental anxiety. Sh'ould he therefore be permitted to treat a non-pregnant patient's mental anxiety or de· pression? "A physician who advises abortion because hi!;i. pregnant patient has some cardiac or renal disease in fact is admitting that he cannot treat his patient's renal or cardiac disease. Is he competent, then, ,to treat the cardiac or renal disease of a nonpregnant patient?" Dr. Papola said, that a physician who does an abortion today is using the scalpel to solve society's problems of poverty, hunger, pollution and population_problems which exist, but problems which are not solved by a physician's knife. "A woman whose child is aborted because she is poor does not become a rich woman after her child is destroyed - her poverty remains. We do not solve the problems of hunger by killing the unborn children of people who are hungry. "Hung~r and poverty are not eradicated by mass sterilization to prevent the future birth of poor or h.ungry people. If it were ,that simple, then the obvious solution to rid our world of hunger and poverty would be to exterminate all poor and hungry people ... "It may be difficult tq teach Christian morality in our society today, but physicians must not allow themselves to be used to cover up this failure of our society. For if they do, while they may appear nqw to be the' ,defenders of the quality of human lilfe, in the long run society will eventually look upon physicians merely as the technicians or mechanics of society's problems rather than the respected defenders of human life."

Friars Appraise Mission Role Of Church

Refuse to Leave Fresno Jail

LOUDONVILLE (NC) - The Church is in the midst of a "crisis" in missionary actiVlity, according to a report at a meeting of the Holy Name Province of Franciscan Fr:iars here.

FRESNO (NC) - Municipal Court Judge Ja.mes V. Paige denied a request Aug. 10 of im· prisoned priests, nuns, and seminarians that all the United Farm Workers Union members arrested with them for illegal picketing be released. The clergy and religious then refused to accept the court's offer of release on their own recognizance.

The report by the province's Mission Committee said that the crisis is partly one of vocations hut that it goes much deeper, into the whole understandi,ng of the missionary role of the Church. The committee cited five concepts which it said threaten the missionary thrust of the Church: . "An exaggerated optimism many entertain regarding the possibility of salvation. "A false or misinterpreted conception of religious liberty. "An excessively optimistic view of non-Christian religions nnd their salvific power or role. Meaning of Ministry "A great confusion in the Church today about the meaning of priesthood, ministry and missionary.

Sr. Mary Noel Blute, RSM, provincial Councillor from Cumberland, attended as an elected delegate of the Prov' idence Province.

Of the 400 in jail alm6st 100 are religious leaders who had been jailed for more than a week when they made their request. They had been offered immediate release if they would sign the citations given them for alleged illegal picketing. They said they would stay in jail with the Farm Worker pickets who had also been arrested on the same charge. Judge Paige said the cases would have to be considered individually and that he would release only those prisoners who agreed to obey the picketing injunction and all lawful orders in the future.

A United Farm Workers Union spokesman said that the judge's ruling was obviously intended , "to prevent farm workers leaving jail and going right back on the governent's refus~l to allow the picket line." them to return to the village on When the priests and religious the Lebanese border. were arrested, they began a fast "We consider this act one of which permitted taking liquids religious persecution," said only.

Prelate Protests Church 'Desecration'

While affirming the "uncontestable fact" of religious liberty, the committee strongly denied that preaching the Gospel is "undue proselytism." Lessened Interest Confusion over the priesthood and "the downgrading of the supernatural" have left their marks on priestly and missionary vocations, the committee said. The report cited as evidence of lessened interest in the missions both a decrease in missionary vocations and a drop in financial aid to the missions. While the committee praised the work of lay groups in mission territories, it insisted that "the work of God's kingdom and the saving work of Christ are the exclusive competency of the missionary. " In spite of these.problems, the committee said it was not pessimistic. The very Church renewal that "is the immediate cause of the crisis," the committee said, is also providing "the seeds of perhaps a more speedy progress and greater effectiveness" in mission work.

I really don't like to see very dressy gowns during the day but simple tailored ones are pretty and very, feminine, certainly much more so than' the slacks that we all adore. Noes Are Yesses So many styles of dress become acceptable, so many "noes" become "yesses" as times i;hange. Patent leather at one time was only for summer wear, now we see it showing up all winter long-and why not? White, too, was a color that came in on May 30th and went out Labor Day, again who was the prophet that dictated that this should be? Dearie, do you remember when blue and green were taboo, pink and orange were gauche and navy and black were really in bad taste?

Relief Agency Project In Yemen Criticized LONDON (NC)-U. S. Catholic Relief Services' support for a hospital in Yemen was criticized here by the general secretary of the Catholic Institute for International Relations. • The secretary, Miss Mildred Neville, said the hospital in the port of Hodeida for which CRS, the overseas aid agency of U. S. Catholics, is supplying the staff is "a prestige project, a brainchild Of the governor of the State of Hodeida. We are totally against this hospital." Yemen is an extremely poor country and the local authorities would never be able to afford to run the hospital for themselves, she said. "What we do not want them to do is to be dependent on Western aid such as a Western hospital run by Western money with Western equipment," she added. (A spokesman for CRS in New York said that the Saudi Arabian government had agreed to equip the Hodeida hospital. "She hasn't got her facts straight," he said of Miss Nevile's remarks.

should go around competing with our teen-age daughters, but if you feel comfortable in dyngarees why not wear them around the house, working in the y,ard, or on a picnic? With food becoming the first priority in our budgets, clothes are going to have to take a back seat, therefore why not save your good slacks for speCial times and wear more casual pants when you're working around. ' Informal Church Churchgoing is probably the area of greatest change in the rules of. formality. At one time sleeves, hats and dresses were an important part of our Sunday morning worship. Today the majority of women have adopted the more informal attire of bare heads, no gloves, anci very often even slacks outfits. While I do put my foot down on dungarees for my youngsters when they attend church,' I must admit that I'm very lenient about the other out· fits that they want to wear. In fact, if one can 'get teen-agers to church today, I feel one, has accomplished something as a parent. ' While I do not resist the changes in formal dress for such things as church services. I myself find it hard to change (it's all those years with an Irish mother) and very often reach for the white gloves as I rush out to Mass.

Urg,e; Direct Aid' to Privat,e CoUeg!es SAN JUAN (NC) -The high·, est educational group in Puerto Rico has suggested a local con.. stitution amendment to allow direct government aid to the private institutions of higher learning, including two .Catholic schools. . The financial. situation of the private universities has reached a critical point, accord~ng to a report made by a unit of the

Higher Education ,.

The Puerto Rican Constitution states, "No public property or funds shall be used for the support of schools or educational institutions other than those of the State." Strong opposition is expected from non-Catholic groups, mainly the Council of Eyangelical

Churches, to the CHA recommendation: They base their opposition on a constitutional clause which reads: "There will be complete Separation between the Church and the State." Non-Catholic groups have repeatedly voiced here strong opposition to any attempt of government aid to private schools or universities or amending the Constitution for such purposes.

AUCUST PRE-SEASON . HEATER

Oppose Participation In Electon of Pope PARIS (NC) - A Melkite-rite archbishop has objected to, par-. ticipation by Eastern-rite patriarchs in the election of the Pope on the grounds that such participation "would consecrate" a "centralization that today constitutes the greatest obstacle to Christian unity." In March, Pope Paul VI iridi· cated that he was considering . having the Eastern-rite patriarchs participate in the election of the Pope. At present, only cardinals can take part in the election, and all patriarchs who are not cardinals are excluded. In an article in the French Catholic magazine Informations Cathobiques Internationales Arch'bishop Elias Zoghby of Baal-' bek, Lebanon sa'id that the Eastern Orthodox churches and western ecumenists can only oppose participation by patriarchs in papal elections "and see in that a new affirmation of Roman centralization." The reason for seeking to enlarge the conclave that elects the Pope, the archbishop said, "is that today the Pope effectively governs all .the Catholic churches of East and West, and regularly assumes responsibility .for all the churches. From the Roman point of view th1.s necessitates the intervention' of the heads of eastern and western Catholicity in his election."

Mo,dern Wedding C,e remony S'hould Hold 'Something Old' 1

To some degree we all resist change. It's more comfortable to walk in old shoes, and live with old habits. At the same time, changes are occurring all around us, faster and faster, and it's particularly disconcerting to

have to accept changes in something we are most comfortable with ... our religious ceremonies. I don't want to give the impression I'm against changes in the liturgy. There have been many improvements in recent years and I'm'

happy with them. At the same time there are some changes that make me feel we've thrown out the baby with the bathwater. New Weddings Recently ('ve been puzzled by some aspects of wedding ceremonies which were written by the bride and groom. EncoUTaging a couple to write their own ceremony has many valid points. They must give thought. to it. It can foster a personal, meaningful involvement creating a unique rite. But along with its importance to the young couple, a wedding is a deep emotional experience for parents and grandparents ... and an example to the younger members of the family. A we.dding is a link between generations. So when absolutely nothing is taken from the traditional rites, and the entire cere emony has the new mod look, it can carry a meaning that may or may not have been intended. The message coming through may say: "I don't care that this poetry makes my father cringe; so what if the readings embarrass my mother; who cares if the music makes my grandparents sick ... It's my wedding.

Kidnaping of Colombian Cardinal Considered BOGOTA (NC) - Newspapers in this capital have prominently displayed a letter from a celebrated criminal who asks his friends to kidnap Cardinal Anibal Munoz of Bogota, or some foreign ambassador, and to hold them as hostages for his release from prison. In his letter, Ganzo Ariza, who is imprisoned in the Gorgona island prison, tells his accomplices that "I agree with your proposals, but we have to look for another victim, because a consul or some rich person is not important enough for the government. The government will not negotiate for them." "We have to kidnap the cardinal who never has a guard and usually walks alone, or some very import.ant ambassador so the government won't be able to refuse the deal. You have to ask for safe passage to some country which has no extradition treaty with Colombia." Ariza instructed his people.

I'm doing it my way! I don't care what my family thinks!" But from that moment on, the couple is "family" to each other. Will such a ceremony lay the foundation for a lifetime of "I don't care what my family thinks ... including you, spouse!" So then, do I consider all modern rites a mistake· Certainly not. Many of the modern ceremonies are beautiful; but so are some of the old ones. A great deal of the traditional music was magr.ificient; so is some of today's music. Why not use the best of both? If we discard everything traditional, we may lose more than we .gai~. I was married almost 20 years ago. In those days every wedding sounded much alike. , Yet every time I hear the traditional wedding march, I mentally renew my own vows, and review how well I am keeping them. With today's "unique" ceremonies, I wonder what will serve as such a reminder. Will today's young -couples remember the rhythm guitars ... 20 years from now? I. guess I feel that if a couple is mature enough for marriage they should recognize responsibilities as well as rights; that they are a transitional link in a chain binding generations. They should use the freedom to write a wedding ceremony with a wisdom befitting the role in life they are about to enter.

In short, the word "physical" is part of the definition and should not have to be added by way of qualification." ••••••••••

,'Fog 'n' Grog' On Campus' SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The Jesuits scored a first in California with: the, opening of the "Fog'n'Grog" on the University of San Francisco (USF) campus -the first on-campus beer hall in the state. California law prevents staterun education institutions from having, alcoholic beverages on campus, and until the Jesuit-run university broke the ice no private colleges had managed to get through the licensing procedures of the California Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. University officials expected the Fog'n'Grog to be the most popular innovation on campus since '1964, when the Jesuits took down their "men only" sign and admitted coeds. The beer hall will operate under strict controls, including the requirement of two proof-of-age identifications-one with a photo-for patrons. ~ John F. Marshall, USF vice president for student development, expected the Fog'n'Grog to give a new atmosphere to the campus. "Commuter students usually leave campus 'early," he said, "I think the F:0g'n'Grog will be an incentive for them to stick around and enjoy some of the extras that go with a good education - meeting more people, getting to know them better, a chance ,to get in on campus activities."

She received her M.D. degree at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania and was for nine years medical director and a surgeon at Holy Family Hospital in West Pakistan and Banglactesh. Sisterly Person Despite her formidable background, Sister Polcino is just that, a sisterly, warm person. She noted that in the past religious communities tended to attract "passive - aggressive personalities" and that traditional convent and monastery life- styles reinforced patterns of dependency. Today, she said, most communities want candidates to complete college before entering religious life, "thus those entering tend to be more mature than youngsters entering from high schobl." She pointed out that older, more strongly motivated candidates are more likely to effect change in religious communities than those 'whose characters are still in the process of formation. "My purpose today," she told her Fall River audience, "is to be here, and totally present· to you. "Basically, this is psychotherapy-just being there-much more than a multitude of tech-. niques.If you are totally present to another person, you will pick up more messages about him than in any other way.

."You should li~e in the present moment," advised the psychiatrist. "Take one thing at a time-once you've learned to do this, you'll experience great relief and you'll be able to help others. Also," she added, "learn to get rid of anger. Be consciously aware when you're angry, then you can direct it in a nonhostile way and get rid of it. Relaxation Contagious "Tension and fear are contagious," she went on to say, "but so are relaxation and cooperation -so you can make your environment better yourself." People need a climate of acceptance where they can express negative feelings, said Sister Polcino, and if those trying to help others "can take time to sit and listen, many problems can be avoided. But don't feel superior," she cautioned. "Talk with people, not down to them." Such down-to-earth insights, combined with the fruits of the most recent research in the psychiatric and theological disciplines should make the House of Affirmation a place where "the individual can become a fully human, consistently free person within the context of the ecclesial calling and in relationship to society."

.Now's Time to Make Plans For Next Summer's Garde.n

ST. WILLIAM, FALL RIVER

By Joe and Marilyn Roderick This is the time ··to start planning (or next year's summer bloom. I find t~is the most difficult time of year to pl~n for, because the garden tends to get overgrown and dependent upon annuals for bloom. With this in mind I have decided' to invest in ' s<?me August-blooming lil- ing no middle class - just the ies. Lilies are stately and at- rich and the working man, who w'as living, by our standards, tention-getting and with a very poorly.

limited number the 'garden can he pulled together around their beauty rather than diffused in the busyness of many small annuals. Lillies are relatively expensive, however, and have to be selected carefully. Last year I began ex·' perimenting with one or ·two ,late· blooming varieties, especially the Red Band lily.' This year I had bloom and had mixed feelings . about the result. The Red Band lily is one of a "group of heavily advertised superhuge lilies including Impe· rial Cr-imson, Imperial Silver, etc. My ~ed Band had five blooms, at least nine Inches in diameter, truly huge flowers, but almost t.oo huge" for comfort. Marilyn, who is not a lily lover, felt she was about to be devoured by them! One of Each , At any rate, four or five such lilies could well . serve as the focal point of the late· Summer garden and allow the gardener a little leeway in planning. I have accordingly placed an order for five new lilies and will ob· serve the results after the' first year.. With the few lilies with which I have. worked, I have found that it is sufficient to buy one of ca'ch bulb or at most two or. three of a variety, since they produce rather quickly and with. no difficulty. This may not be true of all lilies, but it has been the case with mi,ne. I would suggest "therefore that anyone buying lilies do s"o with their reproductive tendencies in mind. I allow the bulblets:to reo main undisturbed for' the first couple of' years until a good· clump appears, then dig' them up ·after they bloom and 'wither and replant them immediately in . a new location and walt for more clumps to form. i~ this way, in a relatively short: time a number of clumps of lilies can be had. In the Kitchen At this moment the heat is a torrid 95, filled with humidity, Jason has a virus that's l{eeping him in, but not quiet, and the news about the price of food is enough to send one abroad to live. The latest broadcast this noon predicted a rise in the price of bread, and macaroni products and one of the prophets at the Department of Agriculture' an-. nounced today that the price of food will never again be cheap (when was it ever?). It· will be interesting and no doubt anger-provoking to study this whole situation closely and find out if the soaring cost really has its roots in the grain sales fo the Soviet Union. In February we were in Paris and I have men· tioned previously that prices there were "out of reach." This had resulted in there be-

Loyalty to Planet as Whole In teaching the re'ality of planetary justice, the Church' is continually handicapped by the degree to' which the imaginative influences which determine loyalty are nearly all linked to separate human relationships.

rich one's family at the public expense. But other nations can be conquered and pillaged at will. In our own day we see emerging yet another partial focus of loyalty-the multi-national firm whose officials are not expected t.o r~member their national prejudices or interests but to belong. heart and soul, to the vast enterprise they work for. In short, th-ere are scores of different kinds of loyalty, rooted in different states of emotion and imagination-the rich, cosy, childhood memories of family or clan, the sense of history and achievement, of victory and defeat which links mcn to their nations, the ease of a shared language, the ambitions and satisfactions of a successful enterprise, All But Impossible But where are the emotions and images that can nourish a planetary loyalty? How can we learn to love the planet as a community and sec all humanity as neighbors requiring our love and justice? This is the all but impossible task the Church faces in educating our sentiments as well as our reason to accept tb~ Earth as our only home. There is one possible source of this imaginative loyalty - a source that was not available to teachers until almost this century. But it contains such a vision of the unity and community of the whole human race that it could conceivably be a most powerful stimulus to the growth of what one might call a "planetary" imagination. This source is our growing knowledge of the unfolding yet totally mysterious process of how life itself has developed on our planet. In a sense, this "evolution" is suggested in the Genesis vision of Creation. It hints at the eons of time during which first "there was light," the primal radiance of the sun which is the source of all earthly energy and life. Then comes the separation of the land and sea, a symbol of the millenial downpours which, several million years ago, cre-

Church of~ Christ, or Christian Church, is not a denomination. Bible Only I pressed him as to, what he believed, hpw he understood his identity as a member of the Christian Church. He indicated that there was no set 'creed, but only genuine faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible, particularly, the New Testament, was taken as God's' Word. Doctrines, he said, tended to divide Christian· ity. Therefore he professed no creed but Jesus Christ as he cculd be known through the Scriptures. . Later I learned that his opin. ion echoed that of the founders of the Christian Church-which By was meant to be not another de· nomination but a serious step toward returning to New Testa· FR.

Several years ago I had the op· portunity to visit Israel. Seventeen of us spent two .weeks to-' gether travelling the length and breadth of the Holy Land. About half of our group were Roman , Catholic, and the other half were members of other Christian churches. Three were ministers whose familiarity with ihe Bible was striking. Not only did they Know countless Gospel hymns which they sang 'at the various places where the Gospel story had unfolded centuries beforebut the Bible was a major influence on their ·day.to-da)' living.

An early 19th centu;,y mavpment which sought to restore primitive Christianity' and unite all believers in a creedless fel,' lowship resulted in the addition of two more denominations to the crowded religious scene in America. They are the Disciples of Christ and the Churches of Christ.

Concentrated in the Middle West and the South the Disciples report 1,425,000 members in about 8,000 congregations. In some communities their congre· gations, are identified as simply the First Christian Church, etc. in some places they are known as Church of Christ. As early as 1792 James O'Kelly had led a small exodus from Methodism on the basis of a noncreedal platform. An ex-Presebyterian revivalist, Barton W. Stone, won converts to his nearunitarian position in Kentucky and OhiO. Others around the country also Cctme to believe tha.'t creeds and doctrines only divide Christians. , Frontier Revival The Campbells, father and son, wielded the greatest influence in the frontier revival which gave -birth to the Disciples of Christ. Thomas Campbell had been an Anglican and then a Presbyterian in his native northern Ire· land. Emigrating to America he pastored a Presbyterian church in Pennsylvania but his theolog· ical views led to a heresy trial. As a free lance preacher he elaborated his basic positions such as "No creed but Christ, no book but the Bible" and "Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where Scriptures are silent, we are silent." Joined by his son Alexander he _formed a nondenominational association ,in 1809. Now the Campbells questioned not only the value of creeds but the validity of infant baptism. In 1812 the two were baptized by immer·· sion and entered an affiliation with the Baptists which lasted for the next 17 years. Non Ecumenical Much of ,the motivamon for the efforts of Thomas and Alexander , Campbell came from a search for Christian unity. Yet they insisted on baptism of adult believers by . immersion as the only proper form of this ordinance. This meant that the baptism received by most professed Christians, Protestant and Catholic was .meaningless and invalid. 0 The Campbells joined forces with Barton Stone's followers in 1832 to form the 'Disciples of Christ. The fellowship grew and . survived the Civil War without any schism. but by the time of

They understood the silence of the scriptures to mean prohibition. Today the Churches of Christ display considerable enthusiasm for evangelism and missions but little for ecumenical cooperation, Restoratists Unlike the Churches' of Christ, the Disciples take a leading role in the National and World Councils of Churches. Except for the custom of communion every Sunday the Disciples do not differ much from the American (Northern) Baptists. In some cities Disciples and Baptists have formed single congregations. Some Disciples who remained in the parent body after the Churches of Christ people left were still troubled by the alleged liberalism of the church. In 1927 these Disciples started to set up . separate Bible colleges, associations, and publications. They were sometimes called Restoratists or Independents. Today about half of the Disciples support the North American . Christian Convention. About 4,500 mainstream congregations contribute· to the International Convention of Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ) with headquarters in Indianapolis. Despite the apparent failure of the formula for Christian unity proposed bv the Campbells and t~eir associates, the Disciples of Christ remain' committed to the New Testament ideal of unity.

Neighborli'ness, L'ove Arkansas Far." Couple Finds Friends Blessing in Disaster FAIR OAKS (NC)-The "modern" social welfare system complete with itsc red tape and de.lays, was outdone by some good old-fashioned neighborliness and love here. ' Recipients of the ~eighborliness and love of their friends and relatives were Joe and Mary Hess. On Ash Wednesday, lightning struck their home, reducing it and their new auto in the carport to ashes. The Hesses, who had labored to clear a 120-acrc farm since 1931, had lost everything. Everything that is except th:l good will the couple had built . up over the years. The' result was amazing. In three weeks the Hesses had a new $30,000, six-room stonG home, complete with wall-to-wall carpeting and central air conditioning, thanks to hundreds of friends and neighbors who dOnated $20,000 in labor. The couple's only child, Mrs. Otis Ball, put the picture in perspective following the fire: "They just went to pieces. Daddy said it took him all his life to build a place he wanted and now, hc' was just too old to start over."

But for their pastor, Father John O'Donnell, the situation was just 'a continuation of helping people. By the next afternoon he had appointed foremen to see "that everybody on hand has a job and does, it." . Within a week the debris had been cleared and the framework was up. Anywhere from 20 to 50 workmen-college students on the weekend swelled the number -daily! gave of their carpentry, plumbing, electrical and other know-how to ease the hardship for the couple who had only meager insurance coverage on their home.

While Roman Catholics would have serious difficulties with their steadfast 'refusal to express Christian faith in other than New Testament. terms, none of us could fail to admire the deep faith of these three men and the .value the Bible had in their lives. 'Fife Churches of Christ may not have succeeded in restoring the primitive unity of Christianity, but they are a constant reminder to all Christians of the. importance of the Scriptures.for Christian life. Their emphasis recalls the insight of St. Jerome, who spent most of his life some 15 centuries ago translating the Bible.

Priest Asserts Moder-:- Knight Must Combat Social Disruption LOUISVILLE (NC) - Black Catholics must be more than "Sunday Christians" and musf become involved in their communities if the challenges of the world .are going to be met, the chaplam of a predominantly black national lay organization said. Divine Word Father John LaBauve, chaplain of ~he Knights and Ladies of Peter Claver was the principal 'speaker at the Knights' and Ladies' 58th Annual Convention banquet here. "The challenges to the modern Knight," he said, "are the problems of the general disruption of society, family life and the community, including the Church." TeHing the delegates they must operate "with a calm determination to provilde lasting solutions in an' ever chang'ing world, Father LaBauve said, every delegate must also operate "with confidence in himself and in his God, and he is to seek peace and happiness in his own life in the perfection of the love of God and of his. neighbor." Church in Africa Father LaBauve, a native of Abbeville, La. 'and pastor of St. Mary parish in Houston, Tex., for the past four years, said that "we believe that the Church at , any time is responsible for the evangeHzation of all the people everywhere. "This means that all who profess the faith have to do their very best to witness to that faith, each in his own way 'and according to his capacity." , .. 1u.r:J;l.~~~., !?·.w~.a.( .~~. gt:.s~c~i~~d

. Pope Paul Warns Conscience Alone Is Not Enough CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) Pope Paul VI, protesting against "the decay of the moral sense which characterizes our age," warned that for the Christian, conscience alone is not enough. Speaking to visitors at his general audiettce (Aug. 8) about the difficulties of living a Christian moral life today, the Pope said, "Observance of moral norm, which we believe can be called Christian, constitutes one of the principal difficulties to that strong and genuine offirmation of ethical·religious modern life which is expected of us." For example, he explained, the Christian cannot exclude from his morality the "sense of sin. We cannot do so because sin cuts into our relationship with God. It is one of the basic truths of our ethical-religious conceplions ... Today the racially-religious mentality of our times cancels out the first and most genetic moral responsibility, de· nying or passing over the rela~ tion between our actions and God's view, the especially negat ive relation which is an offense against God," Pope Paul also challenged those who, particularfy since the Second Vatican. Council, have argued that Christian morality can be determined by the Christian following his own con· science. The Pope granted that "the moral conscience is' certainly the proximate and indispensable criterion for the honesty of our aclions" and that "God wants conscience always to be respected in the development of human personality." But, he added, "conscience must be educated, informed and guided in regard to the objective good of courses of jlction; the instinctive and intuitive judgment of conscience is not enough," Needs Norms The Pope stressed that "conscience needs norms and laws; otherwise its judgment can be impaired by the influence of passions, interests or by the examples of others," Moreover, he added, without norms and laws, conscience leads to "a moral life that is submissive to exterior circumstances and situations, with all the consequences of relativism and servility which result, and finally to the com· promising of that direction of conscience which we call character, making men merely a mass of reeds- shaken in the wind," The Pope then noted that many claim men must be sincere. But by "sincerity," he said, is 'meant giving "freedom to impulses of real animal nature, to a real frenzy of enjoyment, without higher or logical inhi'biti9ns, and to a real, ignoble selfishness. "You hear today the declara· tion that the fortress of tradi· tional morality is crumbling because of the changes brought about by modern life and that the directive criterion of our conduct must be anthropologic and social; that is, that it must con· form to the dominant criterion, whether it corresponds or not .to the higher criteria of good and evil,"

Hails Law Aiding War Opponents WASHINGTON (NC) - An official of the U. S. Catholic Conference has praised as "enlightened legislation" a new Canadian law >that would aid mel) who left the United States because of 'the Vietnam War. Father J. Bryan Hehir, director of the USCC justice and peace division, was referring to a law which would allow men who entered Canada illegally to achieve the legal status of "landed immi· grant" without fear of prosecu· tion. "Many of these young men left the United States because they could not in good conscience participate in the Viet· nam war," Father Hehir said. "This enlightened legislation on the part of the Canadian government remin'ds us that a number of American young men are in prisons. in this country because they were selective conscientious objectors to the Vietnam war and U. S. regulations made no provision for their status." Various church groups in Canada and the United States have initiated projects to inform persons who intend to re- . main in Canada of the law, effective since Aug. 1.
