"Everything considered, the experiment was rewarding to aU concerned. It fostered a deeper appreciation of Holy Scripture bobh as the Word of God and 'as a piece of great literature.

Delaware Rejects Cut-Back, Plans More Schools WASHINGTON (NC) The Bishop of Wilmington has reported that he and his lay advisory board have re· jected a plan to eliminate some grades in Catholic elementary schools to cope with the dio cese's educational problems. On the contrary, Bishop Mi chael W. Hyle revealed the school system is due for major expansion as part of a 10-year development plan now being prepared. He said there would be con struction of grade schools in suburban Wilmington and "at least one and maybe two or three" high schools capable of accommodating abo u t 1,500 pupils. Relative to the dropping of some grades, the Bishop told newsmen, "we looked into the possibility of doing something like that, but we decided against it." The Bishop asserted that once a child was established in a public school, "it would be next to impossible to get him back." But he said he was w:l:tching

Dedicate New Cal1adian Basilica To Queen of Rosary
CAP DE LA MADELEINE (NC)-Canada's newest basilica, dedicated to Our Lady of the Cape, Queen of the Rosary, has been consecrated on the shore of the St. Lawrence River with colorful ceremonies that recalled two unusual events cherished by Canadian Catholics. Two cardinals and more than 20 archbishops and bishops took part in the blessing of the huge church, capable of holding 6,000 persons. It was at Cap de la Madeleine that the Confraternity of the
Most Holy Rosary was founded by Canon Paul Vachon.in 1694. Twenty years later a small church wa!: built that still stands - I I ow Canada's oldest church preserved in its original form. The church through the years has become one of Canada's largest pilgrim centers. More than 1.3 million persons visited it last year. Bridge of Ice It was nc.t until 1879, however, that the fame of the shrine be gan to sprE!ad. That year Father LUI~ Desilets saw the need of a
new church for his parish and was determined to complete it within a year. There was only one trouble - the St. Lawrence River, normally frozen during the Winter, remained clear of ice, and workmen could not haul the necessary blocks of stone from the other shore. Father Desilets made a prom ise he' would not tear down the small chapel if the river would freeze. Then he organized his parish in reciting the Rosary. ' One day in mid-March a bridge of ice formed on the river. Work-
men hurriedly moved the stones across the ice. Hardly had the last load crossed when the . . bridge melted. The second event occurred til 1888 when a crippled man, Piene La Croix, asked to be taken * the shrine to pray for a cure. Standing before the statue of Our Lady, both the crippled man and Father Desilets were astonished to see the normally downcast eyes of the Virgin wide open. 'l1he change lasted but a moment, but the men were sure what ther had seen.

Lisbon Missioner
Expelled by Goa
PANJIM (NC)-The last Port uguese missioner- in Goa, Father Joachim dos Santos, O.F.M., is enroute to Lisbon after being cleared of charges that he was linked with recent bomb ellplos ions in this former Portuguese territory. Father dos Santos was ordered by the Goa government to leave on !he ground of alleged "anti Indian sympathies." His V'isa was not extended. In connection with several bomb explosions which rocked Goa on June 30, police searched Father dos Santos' residence, confiscating personal papers and documents which were later re klrned to him. Police made no formal charges. A request made by local Catholic authorities for an official government statement exonerating Father dos Santos from any responsibility in the bomb explosions was turned down. Father dos Santos, founder of the Pius X Institute of Pastoral Theology in Goa, came here in 1957 when Goa was a Portuguese ten-itory.

Difficulties and Differences This is the age of religious ecumenism-an age when tlincere men, Catholic and non-Catholic, are more than ever before conscious of what unites them rather than of what divides. And this attitude, after the four hundred years of bitterness engendered by the religious upheavals of the Sixteenth Century, is a wholesome sign, presenting as it does the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to work in the souls of men of good will. Catholics must surely take a role in presenting, the Church and themselves in such a way that the voice and life of Christ can be clearly seen. At the same time, Catholics cannot but be true to the mission of Christ and so cannot agree with those, however well-meaning, who would have the Church be other than herself. In his encyclical, Pope Paul, to the disappointment of some good non-Catholics, emphasized that the Church ean not be expected to downgrade the position of the Pope simply to make this aspect of Catholicism more palatable to non-Catholics. Similarly, there are other areas of differ ence which all the charity in the world cannot hide, for charity without truth is a caricature of virtue. And the cause of ecumenism is not aided by deception or compro mise. The Protestant Episcopal Bishop ofOalifornia, for example, has just completed a two-month term as guest preacher in a New York City Church. In his last talk he expounded on the uselessness of the Trinity as being a doctrine that "man made up." He simply cannot accept it as the teaching of Jesus.' Ecumenism does not mean that such a view be allowed to exist unnoticed. And a Oatholic would be a poqr servant of ecumenism an<~ truth to pretend, that this is not a worrfsome obstacle to what is the desire of all men of good .will-that there be but one flock, a~d , one shepherd. . Such serious difficulties and differences must be aired, in charity but in truth. And the result is not pessimism but an ever-increasing realization that reunion is the work of the Holy Spirit. Men must allow the Spirit to work iii and through them. And He is the Spirit of Truth which admits of no compromise. '

Fairhaven Bishop Cites· Dire Need For Hospital
ST. LOUIS (NC)-One of the 'two American members of the Vatican liturgy com mission has asserted all members of the Church must join in the restoration of the liturgy if the current renewal is really to suc~eed. . Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta, speaking at a Liturgical Week session said the new role of the laity is "to speak. up, to sing out, to volunteer, to help, to instruct." Laity Role "If the liturgy is to be re stQred," he declared, "if man is to be sanctified and G<>d praised, if we are to become truly 'one in holiness,' then it must be done by the whole Church, not onry by the bishops, priests and lead ers among the faithful." "It will either be accomplis
hed by the gradual joining in of
all God's people, the eager and
apathetic, the anxious and the
confident, the favorable and the
hostile, or it will not be done.
rightly at all, he said, adding
Focal Point . ,"A special responsibility for Sisters and Brothers is to realize that after the diocese, the par ish is the true liturgical entity. The 'sense of community' which is so vital is nOurished primadly not in the faculty house, nor the . . school, nor the convent· chapel, but in the parish church. "There need be no revolution' here, nor a breaking up of ira-. ditional images or chapel altars. All that is needed is a due sense of proportion. The liturgy in the parish church is more than just in a central location. It is the ordinary source of the Church's p<lwer. It is the ordinary. cli max of the Chureh's efforts." Deep Humility Archbishop Hallinan ack nowledged there is "some resist ance to the new changes." While declaring that "zeal for the lit urgy is a sign of the providen tial disposition of God in our time," he called for special tact: "We also need tact and courtesy and kindness and persuasion, and. all these are the ways of charity. Those who love the liturgy . must be a real elite, and its fore most mark should be deep hu mility."

BOSTON (NC)-The mis sionary bishop was saying folks back in his territory in the Philippines wouldn't know what to do with a car pool if they had one--but a car abaos pool, that's something dif ferent. "We set up a carabaos pool with about 30 of the water buf falo," said Bishop Joseph Re gan, M.M., of Fairhaven of the Tagum prefecture. "The animals are loaned out to farmer!> as beasts of burden and for plow ing." The Maryknoll prelate .said the one big need of his mission area (about the size of Massa chusetts) is a hospital. "We have 400,000 people and plenty of doctors, but not a single hospi tal in the entire area." When he arrived at his mis sion station in northern Davao six years ago, Bishop Regan said there were two parishes and five priests. "Now there are 19 parishes and 45 priests. We have built 17 high schools, five ele mentary schools and three col leges. We have established credit unions and cooperatives. We're making progress, but our crying need is for a hospital."

NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Bisb op Maurice Schexnayder of La fayette, La., ooaracterized the ChristiQn home as the' principal ' bastion against the spread of materialism. He told delegates at the 82nd annual meeting of the Supreme Council, Knights of Columbus, here that man is being dragged helpless by the tide of. material ism "which does its best to rivet him to earth, to deprive him of his soul and to block his spirit ual horizon." It depends upon the home and file family "whether the Churcb is to be saved in a country or destroyed," the bishop said.

Automation: By Msgr. George G. mggins Labor Day h~s been observed as a national holiday In fue United States for more than three quarters 'of • century. During that period of time far-reaching, not to eay revolutionary, changes have taken place in Ameri can economic life. Not the least important of these changes has been a steady and almost spectacular im provement in our methods arid tools of production. The so-called Industrial Revolution, whiCh was in full swing when Labor Day was established as a national Iloliday, has run its course,· and, for better or worse, we are now moving very rapidly into the age of Automation. .Our methods and tools of production, already so advanced and so efficient 86 to be almost completely different in kind from those which were in common USe even a few short decades ago, are constantly being improved, and the end of this new technological rev.o lution is nowhere yet in sight.
EVERY WORKER HAS INDISPENSABLE ROLE The age of Automation has brought with it a num ber of very serious economic and social problems which haVe yet to be solved.

who is able to earry out an activity and whose effort is pointed, beyond the indispensable gain needed for the life of the family, to the. development of persOns and the orderill4~ of society." This being the case, it would seem only logical that our observance of Labor Day, which was estab
lished at a time when "work" was thought to be more or less £:ynonymous with manual or even menial 0c cupation,s and whim "workers" were generally regar ded-and, often enough, tended to regard themselves -,.as a «:lass apart, should begin to reflect the: fact that we have rr.,oved into a markedly different and, hopefull~7, a much better kind of economic system.
CLOSER COLLABORATION, FOR COMMON GOOD . The time h~\s come, in other words,' to think of Labor Day as the naHonal holiday not only of "work~ ers" in the old dass-conscious sense of tlhe word, but of all those whe' share in what Pope Paul refers to as "the c,~llective work" of economic life, whether they be chiefs of an Enterprise or wage earners, rank-and filers or technicians, artisans or businessmen, farm workers or factory workers, or members ·of the liberal professions. We have reached the time when Labor Day should be regarded as a kind of aU-American holiday and should be observed in SUM a way as to center attention on the common sel)Se of pur pose which ought to animate all seg ments of our economic society and ought to prompt them to adapt their own par tieular interests to "the universal good that overrides the intereSts of groups • Co * and to bring individuals, social .classes and professional communities into collaboration with the public pow :¥sgr. Hill'gln!! er,s f()r the commOn prosperity."
On the other hand, it has also broug'ht us certain potential blessings. Among these· blessings is the growing realization that "labor" is no longer· synon ymous with manual, much less menial, tasks. To put it in more positive terms, there is growing awareness, not only in this country but in other industrialized countries as well, that the production of goods and 6ervices for the general welfare of society as a whole is .a common enterprise in which, as Pope Paul VI re eently reminded uS,"every worker-whether he be a cbief of an enterprise or a wage earner, rank-and-filer « technician, artisan or businessma,n, farm worker or Pope Paul's l~mi>hasis ()ntbe need for cloSer colfactory. worker, or member of the liberal professions'l . ~ laboratioo, "foi:' t;!le common prosperity," betiween· the b... an indispensable role to play. various pri"ate sectors of economic life 'on ~he one hand and 'the agencies of government on 1ileother TIMES HAVE ,CHANGED ..

"Done by the 'community of men, work," PoPe Paul pOInts out, "unites them among themselves in Ii elose interdependence, and it usually orders itself 10wards the common good." In the present situation, then, the problem of work, in the judgment of POpe Paul, overlaps the "social question" of an, earlier period and .can no longer be equated exclusively with the problem of capital-labor relations. It is no longer, he says, "simply the manual activity of an industrial ·worker that must be considered, but every effort of interdependence and knowledge expanded to transform created nature and adapt ·it to increasingly differentiated human needs. Besides, save for rare exceptions, everyone 'works'
UNI~MPLOYMENT AND
POVERTY PROBLEMS Despite the fact that we are currently enjoying a remarkably high level of economic prosperity in this country, milions of able-bodied Americans are unem ployed, through. 110 fault of their own, and millions more are the vic':ims of the most degrading kind of poverty~all the :rnore degrading because it so often goes unn(J>!iced in. a land of bounteous plenty. If we are eve]' to find a solution to these problems. -prOblems which can no longer be swept under the rug or blandly c;liBmissed as representing merely tem

I This point' needs to be kept clearly in mind. at • time when it is becoming rather fashionable to put the »lame for .D,1any of our economic W'<leS on the So called bre·akdown of COlleCtive bargaining and fashion able also to, berate the labor movement for its alleged lack of militancy' and moral idealism and its lack of creative imagination. .

EFFORTS OF ALL ARE NECESSARY Every effort should be made to improve upon the techniques of collective bargaining, and labor and management should be challenged to look for new ways, over and beyond traditional collective bargain ing, of jointly tackling the economic problems whicJi beset the United Statf~s at the present time.

The Archbishop , in a letter to priests of the archdiocese, said he ·was putting the archdiocesan ecumenical pr9gram under the Commission on Human Relations established last June.

THE AN'CHOR-Diocelle of Fall River-Thurs. Sept. 3, 1964
Civil Rights: ContInued from Page Ten of thefr political affiliation, for poverty and unem ployment, aside from aU moral or ethical considera tions, are a clear and present danger to the country as a whole-no less of a threat to our national welfare than the t1hreat of military action or internal subver sion by an enemy nation. The real challenge with which we are all con fronted, then, on Labor bay 1964 is to move' fUll speed ahead with the war on poverty and unemploy ment and to make sure that all' segments of our economy and all' interested voluntary grOl,lPS at t1be local, regional and national level are' given an' op portunity to play their prop~r r91e' in this all-out erusade for human dignity. . The government should lose no time in tooling up Its own set of anti-poverty programs, which, at this point, are rather lfmited in scope, and, as time goes «ln, should be prepared to adopt such additional pro ~rams as may prove to be necessary.
RISE ABOVE CLASS FOR COMMON GOOD \
Management, in turn, is called upon to put aside all partisan or ideological considerations· and forth rightly support whatever degree of· government action is required to bring the war on poverty to a suc eessful conclusion. And the unions, to quote again from a recent statement by Pope Paul VI on the gen eral subject of labor, should resist the temptation to· become a "pressure group" and should "rise above all class outlook to colla'borate with the heads of en terprises for the common good.

MEANINGI.. ESS GESTURE
CAN EASILY BOOMERANG
In jointly waging an all-out war against poverty, labor, management and government-and all the rest of us, regardless of Our occupation- will want to give special attention to the prob~em of racial il1 justice. No greater mistake could be made than to think that this problem, the sheer magnitude and tragedy of which we have yet fully to grasp as a nation, was taken care of once and for all by the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The paSsage of this statute was truly history making in its implications, but, in the long run, the Act could prove to have been a curse, rether. than a blessing, if the hopes and expectations which it has aroused among our Negro fellow citizens are frustrated not so inuch by the uncompromising opposition of. those who opposed its enactment in the first place as by the careless apathy and indifference of those who favored its adoption. In this connection, it is loiterally true to state that labor and manage-" ment can do more than any 'other seg ment of our population either to iriJ.pl~ ment the purposes and the spirit of the Civil Rights Act on the one hand, or, on the other hand, to turn it into ari empty and meaningless gesture of good will which can easily boomerang, so to speak, and bring down the wrath of Pope Paul VI history on our nation.

token, will hold them gui,lty of a form of treason lit
they fail to do so.

For our own part, we are confident that the ver.

in their favor, for, happily, the evidence would seem
to indicate that they are prepared to face up realisti
.cally to a moral responsibility which has been too long

REFORM OF MORALS
MUST BE PROMOTED
Labor and management will be better pt:ep;lred
to cooperate with one another and with the govern ment in meeting the challenge of degrading poverty in the midst of plenty and the related, century-old problem of widespread racial injustice if they bea' in mind at all times the truly exalted purpOSe of their common caBing in the service of God and the service of their feHowmen. We have already noted, in the words of Pope Paul, fuat, by the very social OF collective nature of the work .they perform, they make up a true "community' of men" il'l. whieh their work "unites them among themselves in a close inter dependence, and * * * usually orders itself toward the common good."
i
But Pope Paul goes on to remind us, In this siune
context, that "human brotherhood would be short-'

We must then look further: the dignity of man as
God's cooperator, the grandeur of the' worker whe
frees hims.elf from material slavery and fulfills the'
moral demands of his person, the brotherhood of merf

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Sept. 3, 1964
Church in Other Lands
Severe Confict in Convent Theme of 'The Two Nuns'
God Love You By Most Rev. Fulton .T. Sheen, D.D. The priests of the Uniied Siates are awakening to Ole IT''at need of the Church in other lands. Sometimes this is Inspired by visiting mission lands or acting as chaplains. In any ease, some are sending their inheritance to the Propagation of the Faith, others their savings, oihers their salaries and their sU pends. One priest, when sending in his sacrifice, wrote, "We have to stop giving God the few erumbs and stan livin&' His Church at least five per ceni of the ineome of every parish: then I am sure God will bless our eountry and tJie whole worid with peace and victor,. over Communism."
By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Anne Hure, author of The Two Nuns (Sheed and Ward. $4), which Emma Craufurd has translated from the French, was for some time a member of a French religious order. It can therefore be presumed that she knows whereof she writes in this novel. What The Holy Office intervenes. she writes of is conflict, spe Later the Cardinal Penitentiary cifically as to the letter and himself visits the convent incog the spirit of the law by nito. It is suggested to Mother which a convent is to be not only ruled but vivified. Conflict is se vere almost cat astrophic. The convent in question is one of Benedictine nuns. It is large, .umbering some 300 in all. Many of its denizens are highly edu cated and hold .• doctorates in various sub jects. But it is not only learning which dignifies the household. Some of its members are of an cient titled French families. The abbess, Mother Hildegard Rouart, elected 10 years before the start of the story, holds of fice for life. She is a strong character, adamantine in her self-assurance. She applies the rule literally and undeviatingly. She brooks no challenge to her authority, and she is unrecep tive even to suggestion. Split Affects Conveni Bitterly at odds with her is M-other Stanislaus de Neuville, a brilliant scholar. A I tho ugh Mother Stanislaus is about 10 years junior to the abbess, they entered the community together 'and, for awhile, were close friends. The two were rivals for the position of abbess when this fell vacant. However, the reason for 'their estrangement was not clashing ambition but profound diHeren~e as to the way in which the rule is to be interpreted and applied. Mo~ber Stanislaus favors more liberty, if not more leniency. She taxes Mother Hildegard with Jansenistic views and ways. She herself is thwarted in her .cholarly career when the abbess refuses to allow her to go to Rome on the invitation of churchmen who are engaged in important research and seek her collaboration. The Benedictine nun's vowed stability prevents such an undertaking, in Mother Hildegard's mind. The whole convent is affected . . &y the split between these t'fVO, but none more than a novice called Sister John of the Cross. Mothel' Stanislaus's influence upon her is strong, and she feels a growing antipathy to the ab bess. As the struggle heightens, the young aspirant is almost lost .In the deep stormy waters. Refuses to Wihdraw Tho:: storm is not confined to the convent, so serene in its set ting and so lovely in the gar dens and fields. Those who be lieve with Mother Stanislaus that conditions are intolerable, ,. appeal to Rome.

,.
Hildegard that she mitigate her regime or withdraw. She will do neither. She has been properly elected, and what she does is her concern alone. Twice the election of a coad. jutrix is ordered. Twice ballot ing takes place. Twice the result is the nun's choice of no other than the abbess herself. This is interpreted as contumacy. It is decreed that no priest shall set foot in the convent until the ab bess submits. For weeks, per haps months, there is no Mass, nor are the sacraments adminis tered. The abbess seems immov able. .
Abbess Yields
But then one of the nuns falls mortally ill. She dies without the last rites. This induces the abbess to yield. She resigns her office and prepares to leave for another convent, where she will be in the ranks. There is a reconciliation be tween her, and Mother Stanis laus, with each admitting her own mistakes. Sister John of the Cross, who, after anhyster ical revolt against the rule. has come to appreciate some thing of the abbess' intentions and good point'l, presumably represents the sensible compro mise which will hereafter characteriz~ the convent. Miss Hure has sought to dra matize a conflict which is real and consequential. In doing so, she has tried, one suspects, to be ,even-handed. The excesses of both sides are indicated. But her sympathies; it appears clear, . are .with Mother Stanislaus. Implausible Surrender This does not mean that she fails to indicate the irregulari:" ties in which this religious in-. dulges, and' the chaos which would surely result were her ideas and tendencies carried out .to a logical extreme. But the cold rigidity and the icy pride of the abbess come across as monstrous and repul sive. And the abbess' ultimate surrender is a trifle implausible in view of her previous utter intransigence. The novel holds one's interest throughout, and is at times truly gripping.. The author resorts to ellipsis a little too ·much. Its use within limits can be very effec. tive. But when the showdown scene, the decisive confrontation, is too often avoided and· reported merely allusively and in its aftermath, the reader will feel not only that he has been cheated of anticipated histrion ics but also that he has been denied something essential to understanding subsequent de velopments. ' One episode - that in which Sister John of the Cross briefly violates cloister - is hard to credit and adds nothing to the exposition of the theme. Path of Dalliance Som~ critics have pronounced Auberon Waugh's second novel, Path of Dalliance (Simon and S.chuster. $4.95), inferior to his first. With this view I cannot agree. To me, the latest effort is more coherent and more con sistently funny, if somewhat too long. The writer of outrageous comic fiction must know pre cisely where to stop. If he doell not, boredom seta in, aDA . .t Mil fatal.

more than money, an official of the U.S. Department' of Labor told 600 Catholic social Qctionists at a meeting here. It. must also give them self respect and the means of self improvement, Assistant Secre tary of Labor Daniel P. Moyni han told the eighth annual Na tional Catholic Social Action

"The essential sin of which
our society is capable is not that
of allowing· people to remain
poor," Moynihan said, "but of
making them useless."
"In an age of overactivity, to
be unemployed is to be guilty,"
he added. " Moynihan said that full em ployment is an accepted ideal in
the American economy and that it is within the power of Amer icans to achieve it if they are willing to pay the price. Not Earning Enough he said, "mass poverty-and we have fuat-is hardly the necessary condition ef life in a nation whose wealth grows by $30 billion a year, whose economists routinely as sume the economy will have grown another third by the end of the decade." There are presently some nine million American families living in poverty, he said. One family In five has an income under $3,000 per year and one in 10 bas an income under $1,800. In almost half, the head of the fam- . ity is employed "but simply not earning enough." . The answer to their problem Des not merely in an increase in welfare programs, to bring everyone up to the standards of "white, middle class America," be said, but also in programs to improve education, and root out unemployment, sub - standard wages and community indiffer ence to the poor. ~ertainly,"

Catholic Tendency To Overmoralize
WASHINGTON (NC)-Cath olics have a 'tendency to "over moralize" political issues, for getting that most political deci sionH are concerned with means rath,~r than ends, Sen. Eugene McCarthy told a gathering of women college graduates. Tt e Minnesota senator told the !iOth anniversary convention of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae there is a tend:ncy in American politics to go to either of two extremes -to place politics outside moral ity, or to "overmoralize political issues, insisting that one's own position is a moral one and im-
plying that the position of one's opponent is a political one." ":VIany Catholics fall into this latter category," he oContinued. "They sometimes use moral terms to comment on political fai.ure. They say, 'Let's just ap ply the natural law,' implying that the positive law would eventually not be needed." Practical Realm No society can ever do with out positive law, said McCarthy. He added that "strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a po litical philosophy or state which can be called Christian or reli gious." "While politics does depend on other disciplines, it is not a simple extension of ethics," he said. "The realm of politics is a practical one-deciding not what must be achieved, but how. Sometimes this means letting the cockle grow with the wheat." McCarthy went on to say that this does not mean religion ha·s

Vatican Council Statement Drops Deicide Charge
3.... . 1'2
ST. LOUIS (NC)-Joseph Cardinal Ritter of St. Louis says the proposed condem nation of the charge of deicide against the Jewish people has, at least for the time being, been dropped from the state ment on Jewish~hristian rela tions pending before the Ecu menical Council. Deicide-"God killing"-is the charge leveled against the Jews, alleging that they as a people bear speeial responsibility for the death of Christ. It is consid ered a factor in anti-Semitism. Third Session • "From what I have observed,· he said, "the condemnation has nct been retained." The Cardinal observed it is' possible that the condemnation could be restored to the state ment during deliberations by the bishops, who will return to Rome next month for the Coun cil's third session. He said he does not think the bishops would accept a ''watered-down version" of the statement, which is a re pudiation of anti-Semitism. Unduly Emphasized . At the same time, however, he questioned the importance of the deicide issue as a factor in anti-Jewish feeling and sug gested that it has been "un duly emphasized" by opponents of anti-Semitism. He said much hostility toward Jews comes from "ignorance on the part of people who don't go to church." "We are all deicides, you know," he said, noting the refer ence to the charge of deicide had been eliminated, "not rejeeted."

Soviet Magazine Says Atheistic Efforts Fa II Short of Aim
Says Mexican Has Co~rage! To Show Love for God
BERLIN (NC) Although large numbers of atheistic books are printed each year in the Soviet Union and paintings by modern Soviet artists are sold cheaply to replace religious ikons in homes, neither effort has achieved its aim, according to a Soviet magazine. Each year, approximately 300 atheistic books are printed in the Soviet Union, with a total of six million copies, according to the atheist magazine, Nauka i Religija, which made a study of what happened to those six mil lion books. Many end up, the magazine's investigation showed, as dead merchandise in storehouses or village grocery stores. The magazine urged its read ers to buy more copies of paint ings by Russian' artists to re place Russian Orthodox reli gious ikons in the homes of athe

The men never go· to church, only the old women. And so on and so on and so on -to nowhere. All this lore is, of course, parrotted about the most indus trious people the author has ever encountered, though they prefer, wisely, not to worry themselves into ulcers. This is said of a people who are open and honest-with, of course, the same variety of small time bandit you find in the U. S.

Show Emotion But, just now,- these are only asides. The blooper I'd like to eomment on here is that old bromide about the lack of depth in ·the Mexican's religion. :tt is undoubtedl-' true that the Mexican's religious practice sometimes shows more emotion than U. S. citizens ever show except, of course, our·more.cul tut'ed types who neck In. public. But put that backwards, and it Comes out like tbis: The U. S. American has less emotion in his religion (which lays claim to being the love of God) than has the Mexican. Years ago, newly arrived in Central America, I was horri fied to see people dancng in church after Christmas Mass • * * until, of course, it was pointed out to my narrow, im mature mind that it is quite logical to dance in church at Christmas time, unless, of course, dancing is painful to you. instead of expressive of great joy. Have Sense of Values Later on, when I first saw men, women and children of all ages and states in life making their painful way on their knees towards the altar at Guadalupe, the thought that this was "show ing off" came to me almost auto matically. Their sense of values rules out even tourist boorishness. It is, in fact, quite possible that Christ on His Cross may even have foreseen the sore knees at Guadalupe and recognized

I have watched an Indian ex plaining the pictures in the up per Guadalupe shrine to his daughter, a little girl immacu lately dressed, though her father was only in clean white tatters, a machete slung at his waist, since he had just come in from the cane fields. I saw his faith and love, too, which had an intimate connection with the machete and his bare feet, and with his daughter's nice shoes-a connection so subtle our sophis ticated minds could not readily grasp it. Eight-Day Walk Recently I saw something that went beyond every other in delible sight at Guadalupe. On the road to Mexico City, our comfortable car passed 16,000 men walking in a driving trop ical downpour from Queretero to the Shrine of Guadalupe-an eight-day walk, I learned later. As they marched, they sang, their banners held proudly aloft. Especially memorable was one old man, walking beside a little boy, his hand shielding the boy's face from the rain. Try an eight-day walk some time, just for show. But try it barefoot and try it in the rain. Or, if that's too much, try walk ing a few blocks to church in stead of riding some Sunday to fulfill an obligation which binds you under pain of mortal. sin if you happen to be a ·Catholic. Learn From· Mexicans _ ,Think a little ,about the Mex ican ·and his religion. A U. S.
, Catholic says he loves God, and
he' really means it" because, in
the main,' U. S. Catholics are al!
good as the species comes. .:~ut
when he says "I love God," he
usually means he has an intel
leciual . 'apperception that he should love God. The Mexican, however, when he says he loves God really means, "I love God." And, to this observer, he not only says this, but (if you will pardon the expression, since I know no other which will fit men who will walk for eight days bare foot), he has the guts to show it. Let's look at him honestly. And then, even more important, let's look honestly at ourselves. It may be that the Mexican ean use a little of our attitude to God. But we can probably use a little of his too. After all, if you really love someone, and aren't just talking, you tend to show it. .
Calif. Court Allows
Rite to Use Drug
SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The California Supreme Court has ruled that the use of peyote, a hallucinatory drug, does not vio late state narcotics laws when it occurs as an authentic part of a religious ceremony. The court dismissed narcotic convictions of three Navah> In dians for using the drug in con nection with rites of the Native American Church, a sect belong ing to the Indian religion known generally as peyotism. "To forbid the use of peyote is to remove the theological heart of p.eyotism," the California oourt &aid.
