A barrier has been shattered! For centuries, there has been a giant altar rail that has separated the people from the altar.

Latin recited at the altar in something had been introduced in the of a whispered mystical lang Mass precisely because Greek has fallen into the same predic ament.

So now, Latin is to fall before the ver nacular and once again the peo ple and the priest are to be one about the altar.

Pontiff Defends Church's Exercise of Authority VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI vigorously de fended the Church's exercise of authority during his regular weekly general audience in St. Peter's basilica. Asking what impression comes to their mind· when people'gather for a papal audience, the Pope an -. swered : .. Authority." He ,--..----.. ,--- ". DOted that "everything here , speaks of authority. The ~
keys of St. Peter are every where. The very composition of this meeting is evidence of the organic and hierarchy structure of the Church. "The presence of the Pope, of the visible head of the Church, strengthens this impression, re aninding everyone that there exists in the Church a supreme power which is a personal pre rogative, having authority over the whole community gathered im. the name of Christ.

Aid 40 Millions In 73 Nations
WASHINGTON (NC) Catholic Relief Services National Catholic Welfare Conference sent more than 1.5 billion pounds of relief sup plies overseas in 2,236 shipments to 73 countries during the year which ended Sept. 30. The U. S. Catholic overseas re nef agency's program, valued at more than $118 million, assisted some 40 million needy persons. Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom, CRS-NCWC executive director, in the agency's annual report to the U. S. bishops, said American surplus food in the shipments amounted to 1,478,046,399 pounds, valued at more than $86 million. The balance represented other supplies donated to or pur chased by CRS-NCWC. Since its inception in 1943, Bishop Swanstrom said the agency of U. S. Catholics has sent overseas for the needy some 6.5 million tons of foodstuffs, clothing, medicinals and other relief supplies valued at more than 1.3 billion. In many countries Caritas or ganizations, which the U. S. agency helped to establish, are now conducting training courses to better prepare volunteers to assist in the work of these di ocesan and parish organizations, he said. During the year, the report said, there was emphasis on as sisting the indigenous organiza tions to develop projects of a socio-economic nature which would help people to help them selves. CRS-NCWC continued to lend its technical and adminis trative. assistance in the concep tion and preparation of such
projects,' the bishop said.

Prote$tant Editor Sees Liturgy Reform Aiding Understanding LOUISVILLE (NC)-Dr. Kyle Haselden, new editor of the Christian Century, a national non-denominational magazine, said here that changes in liturgy in the Catholic Church have "made it possible for Protestants to understand what Catholics are doing." Dr. Haselden spoke at the an nual Christian Heritage Day ceremonies. The occasion was formerly called Reformation Sunday, but its name has been changed locally by the sponsor ing group, the Louisville Area Council of Churches, in the spirit of ecumenism.

He had high praise for Pope .John XXIII, whom he called, "a daring, visionary man with a beautiful, loving spirit." "We Protestants say he is the best pope we. ever had," he commented. He said Protestant leaders have decided that Pope Paul VI is an "open door Pope" - a phrase he said he prefers to the "vague term 'liberal'."

Harmony Among Humans
. LONDON (NC)-Father Dom inic Pire, O.P" Nobel Peace Prize winner, said here: "There is no peace now in Europe-just an absence of war." . Father Pire, who won the Nobel prize for his work for refugees, was on his way from his University of Peace at Huy, Belgium, to lecture at Queens'i University, Belfast, Northern Ireland. He told reporters at London ~irport that it was to teach the basic positive nature of peace that he started the Huy project.. Students and young people at tend fortnight study courses there from all over the world, including countries behind the Iron Curtain, he said. .Practical application of his theories about "active peace" doing something for peace and not just discussing it-can be seen in his seven "villages of . peace" in different parts of the world where war refugees and the poor are helped to build new lives, he said.

The first is like a steam roller-you try to destroy the other person by making hiI1.1 like yourself. The second, true peace is respecting the other person. We have to create a harmony of human beings in their differ ences."
Rev. James A. McCarthy 'of St. William's parish, Fall River, celebrated a unique televised Mass last Sunday over New Bed ford's Channel Six. Mass on tele vision is nothing new, but Father McCarthy's was different in that it was directed towards the members of the Diocesan Guild for the Deaf, which he heads. His sermon on prayer was de livered simultaneously in speech and sign language and even for viewers unacquainted with the l~lnguage of the hands it was deeply moving. In the course of his sermon Father McCarthy recited the Our Father. A loaf-cutting ges ture meant "Give· us this day our daily bread," while a quick, chain-breaking fling of his hands' symbolized "deliver us from eviL" A finger pointing up wards said "God" as clearly as words. Father McCarthy came to his TV assignment with long expe rience. Almost since ordination he has headed the Diocesan Guild and he learned sign lang uage as a seminarian. He says there are nearly 100 Guild members throughout the Diocese. Their meetings include a sermon, benediction and social hour. The congregation at Sun day's Mass was composed of members and they gathered after the service at New Bedford's Kennedy Center for a breakfast sponsored by the Catholic Nurses" Guild.

Or. King Asserts Law Can Change Men's Habits CHICAGO (NC) - Civil rights leader Dr. Martin Lu ther King, Jr., acknowledged here there is some truth in the adage "you can't legislate morality," but added this doesn't tell the whole story. Discussing the effect of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Dr. King asserted: "It may be true a law cannot make 'someone love me, but it can keep him from lynch ing me, and I think that's impor tant too." . Law cannot "change the hearts of men, but it can change their habits," the 1964 Nobel Peace prize winner asserted. He as serted his belief in the effective ness of non-violent action to bring about ."a change of heart" in the civil rights situation. He said future generations will suf fer if Negroes give in to the temptation to use violence. The Baptist minister praised highly the efforts of the Cath olic Church in the struggle for racial justice. He said "the Catholic Church is fortunate in having two great Pontiffs (John XXIII and Paul VI) with the ability to read the signs of the times." Crosses in streets "We must be prepared to leave the sanctuary and take up our crosses in the streets. We must dare to live in racially integrated neighborhoods. America will be the richer for it," Dr. King said as he accepted the John F. Ken nedy Award of the Chicago Catholic Interracial Council be fore an overflow crowd. He said the churches must make it clear segregation should end not just because it is in convenient for some people or because it hurts this nation's image abroad, but because "it is morally wrong and sinful."

Franciscans Choose Negro Nun Superior RICE LAKE (NC) - Sister Ann Michael is the first Negro to be elected mother general of the Franciscan Sisters of Rice Lake here in Wisconsin. She is one of three Negroes in the community which staffs a hospital, catechetical center, pro vides altar breads for the Su perior diocese and fills mission posts in England and Scotland. A native of Washington, D.C., she joined the Franciscan sister hood eight years ago and shortly afterwards was made superior of the Sisters' hospital here. Since regulations of the sister hood require that a mother gen eral must be professed for 10 years, special permission was ob tained to allow Sister Ann Mich ael to fill the office.

Delinquency Test A ten-year test program for predicting future delin quency among six-year old boys has been found to be surprisingly accurate in New York City. The study of over three hundred boys forecast de linquency ten years ago for thirty-three boys and proved to be eighty-five per cent accurate. Potential non-delinquency was forecast for two hun dred and forty-three boys-with ninety-five per cent accuracy. And twenty-five. boys were adjudged an even chance ten years ago of becoming delinquents with nine becoming delinquents and sixteen who did not. The study, made by the New York City Youth Board and financed in part by the Ford Foundation, is published in "A Manual of Procedures for Application of the Glueck Prediction Table," and carries an introduction by a husband and wife team of criminologists at the Harvard Law School, Professor Sheldon Glueck and Dr. Eleanor Glueck. Three factors were used in setting up ratings on which the predictability of future conduct was based. These were: supervision of the boy by the mother; discipline of the boy by the mother; and family cohesiveness. Since all the boys studied were from a neighborhood with a high record of delinquency and many of the boys did not have a father, the father-son relationship had to be discarded in favor of the mother-son one. Under the three factors these elements were investi gated: supervision-parent knows where boy is, his ac tivities and friends, keeps close watch on him; discipline parent is firm but kindly, sets limits of conduct and expects son to adhere to these, punishes so. that boy understands why and accepts it; cohesiveness of family-family enjoys going out or staying home together, all children are equally accepted. Mothers and fathers would do well to examine them selves On these items if they would have a picture of what their children are likely to be in ten years time.

And today's Gospel, with its vision of Jerusalem's destruction and of the end of time, with its air of catastrophe and uprooted ness, warns any of us who may be tempted to hold on too tightly to non-essential customs and tra ~itions. . . And the First Reading's prayer is surely the prayer· of the Ecu menical Council as it endeavors to lead us toward a more clear, ~ore simple, more meaningful public worship: "Our prayer is · that you may be filled with that closer knowledge of God's will which brings all wisdom and · spiritual insight with it." : MONDAY - St. Clement I, Pope, ·Martyr.

"Follow my example" (First Reading), the Council is telling us-the example of getting to the roots of the Gospel, of prun ing away all that hides or ob scures or makes difficult the fol lowing of Christ. . TUESDAY - St. John of the C r 0 s s, Confessor, Doctor. "Preach the word, welcome or unwelcome" (first Reading), we hear in this· Mass honoring a great teacher in the Church. So the Council, in the most solemn way possible in Christ's Church, teaches us the word of God.

Continued from Page One with reservations 1005; No. 71. Fourth Article 1049 Fathers agreed with the fourth proposition that states that the chief goal of the re';' ligious is perfect love of God and of neighbor. 64 Bishops did not think so and 845 Bishops thought that this was not a com plete enough statement. In two propositions, it is as serted that contemplative insti tutes are to retain their neces sary role in the Church and are to see to t~eir own reform; ac tive institutes must seek a cer tain coordination. The Fathers voted Yes 883 ; Yes but . .. . 987; No. 77. The next four propositions deal with vows and common life. One speaks Of the necessary understanding of the spirit of the vows; the next treats of in dividual poverty-that it must be observed in spirit as well as in dependence on superiors; the next deals with collective pov erty pointing out that the prop erty of an institute exists only to benefit the. Church and the needy; the final proposition speaks of the intensity of re ligious life for "lay religious" .and denounces class distinctions. The Fathers answered: Yes 907; Yes but 975; No 66. Enclosure and Habits In three propositions, the doc ument states that the cloister should pertain only to strictly contemplative orders. Other nuns should be exempted from en closure and should have special constitutions. In referring to nuns' habits, it was emphasized that these should be simple, modest, poor yet becoming, hygienic, up-to date and practical. Habits which, in the Holy See's judgement, do not conform to these standards will be changed. Here 940 Bishops were in com plete agreement while 947 had some' reservations; 56 did not agree. Trajnin~ and Adaptation . In training religious, those not destined for the Priesthood should not be assigned to the apostolate immediately after the novitiate but should be assured special training in special houses. (Yes, 1076; yes but 103; No. 65.) In three propositions, the Bish ops deal with the foundation of new institutes, adaptation or sup pression of the undertakings . proper to existing religious in stitutes and abandonment of de cadent institutes. (Yes, 1833, yes but 226; No. 63.) Cooperation Two articles deal with the co operation and unity among in stitutes and on national confer . ences of major superiors (Yes, 1936, yes but, 131; No. 50.) The final article deals with the promotion of religious vocations and was accepted by 1639 Bish ops, though 419 others had some reservations and 50 disagreed.

BOMBAY (NC)-A public de bate has arisen in India as to whether the former Portuguese colony of Goa should remain an independent territory within India or whether it should be merged with neighboring Ma harashtra state. Goa, which has a Catholic pop ulation of 250,000 persons, was seized from Portugal in 1961 and has since been governed as an independent territory by India's federal government. Those who are supporting the status quo, at least for the time being, are Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Kamraj Nadir, president of the ruling Congress party. Among the supporters for merger are De fense Minister Y. B. Chavan; Maharashtra's chief minister, V. P. Naik, and Goa's chief minister, D. B. Bandodkar. ,

Prelate OppOstes Death Sentence
By Marilyn and Joseph Roderick My part in our family's preparation for Advent is making the wreath. Since I am all thumbs, this simple task becomes a major project, but thanks to my two assistants,
TRENTON (NC) -The nine member Commission to Study Capital Punishment split 7 to 2 with a recommendation the death penalty be kept for first degree murder. The seven members who fa vored retention of the death sen tence argued that it deters po tential murderers from commit ting capital crimes. However, the two-member minority, whose opinion was written by Msgr. Salvatore J. Adamo, editor of the Catholic Star Herald, newspaper of the Camden diocese, disagreed, say ing statistics refuted the deter rent effect of the· punishment. . Msgr. Adamo's statement said that despite more than 8,400 homicides in 1963 in the nation, only 21 persons were executed. , "Where is the deterrent value?" he asked.uThose who were put to death may only have hit the wrong jury, faced a par ticularly ferocious judge or had a lawyer that made a misstep."
Meryl and Melissa, aged five and three, the job gets done.
We collect pine boughs and berries some time during the weekend preceding the first Sunday of Advent. The chil dren reallY enjoy this, especially the fresh smell of pitch in the pine boughs. We have found that one week's soaking in a pail of water is sufficient to keep the greens from drying out prema turely when we place them on the wreath. After several unsuccessful at tempts to make our own wreath by tying greens together, we in vested in a florist's wreath frame which makes the job a great deal easier. Frames come in several sizes and can be ob tained for less than fifty cents. The frame can be filled with a ring of styrofoam which makes placement of the greens a simple n:atter. The four candles, three pur ple and one rose, can be pushed into the styrofoam for support. (This is frankly optimistic, since we spend half our time straight- . ening leaning candles!) There are candle holders which fit the wreath frames but we have not purchased one of these as yet. We piace our wreath on the dinner table, although'friends of ours suspend theirs from the eeiling. using the new non-screw type hangers which are available in hardware stores. Advent wreath kits and arti ficial greens are available, but we prefer to make our own. The children enjoy making and dec orating the wreath, and although ours may not be as pretty as lIOme, they think it is magnifi eent.

Another event for this, holy lIeason is one that takes place ill the kitchen and includes the whole family. This is the pre paring of the fruit cake or fruit pUdding (plum pudding) on the first Sunday of Advent, desig nated as Stir-up Sunday. This eelebration dates back to pagan times 'when all the plenty of the land, fruits, meat. and meat were thrown into a huge kettle , to thank the sun for its gift. Now in Christian times it's dedicated to the "Light of the World" and everyone in the family can give the batter a mighty stir while they are giving thanks. This will be the first year that we plan to include this in our celebration of Advent but I know my daughters are going to enjoy the idea of getting into the kitchen with parental permis sion. A custom that we have used successfuly, along with the Ad vent wreath, is the receiving of straws by the children of the house for the good deeds that they do. These straws are placed in a crib (ours are made of paper-covered shoes. boxes) that will hold a statue of the Infant on Christmas morning.Of course each child wants his crib to be the softest, so good deeds do in erease at this time. Whichever customs you try you win find that the little extra effort in volved gives a deeper meaning to the Advent season and for small chlldren takes a little of the emphasis off Santa Claus

Predict Prelates' To Seek Opinions From Laymen
Papal Delegate Praises NCCW At Mass· WASHINGTON (NC) - A capacity crowd of convention delegates of the National Coun cil of Catholic Women heard words of praise for their work from Archbishop' Egidio Vag nozzi, Apostolic Delegate in the United States at a Votive Mass of Our Lady of Good Counsel
offered by him on the evening of the convention's first day. He 'compared the Catholic women present for the mass to the holy women who stood at the cross :of Christ, and expressed particular pleasure in the num ber of women who received Communion at the Mass cel ebrated in the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. The Apostolic Delegate said he brought the Catholic women blessings "from the hand and the heart" of the Holy Father with whom he had had an audience only five days before. He praised the women for their "active part in the apostolate of the Church -women from every part of the union." He also said there was no limit to the sphere of action of :w?m.~n in the Church if they are wllling and ready to work for the king dom of God. He expressed con fidence that Catholic women would do much to bring about a human race "united in one Churcb."
Prelate Previews Decree on Laity WASHINGTON (NC) - The emerging layman is well out of his cocoon, 150 priest-moderators of women's groups agreed at the National Council of Catholie Women convention here. During the moderators' ses sion, Auxiliary Bishop Stephen Leven of San Antonio, Tex., gave a preview of the yet-to-:-be published Vatican Council de cree on the laity. Bishop Leven said the council has broken with the 'old 'custom of defining a priest in terms of what he can do, and a layman in terms of what he can't do. Catholic Action, defined as the participation of the laity in the apostolate of the hierarchy" was too limited a concept of the work, of the layman, he said; because while it affirmed the need of obedience, it neglected the charism or gift of free grace which the Holy Spirit gives to lay Christians. The Church must .find a way to discern charismatic graces, which the "siege mentality" of a defensive Church has often ex tinguished in Christians during the past 400 years, Bishop Leven said. '
Interfaith Effort For Race Justice MINNEAPOLIS (NC) - In every church and synagogue at tended by residents of south Minneapolis over a weekend, sermons were given on racial justice in housing. After the sermons, congrega tions were given small yellow cards bearing a pledge to "wel come new residents into my neighborhood regardless of race, color, religion or national ori gin." The cards are to be signed and returned to the churches and synagogues. The united effort was promoted by a· newly formed Calhoun-Isles Interfaith Committe on Racial Justice, con sisting of members from 12 con gregations of the three major faiths.
WASHINGTON (NC) Two bishops predicted here that bishops and pastors from now on will increas ingly seek out the opinions and suggestions of laymen before making their decisions. This view was expressed by Auxiliary Bishop Stephen A. Leven of San Antonio, Texas, and Auxiliary Bishop John S. Spence of Washington at the 32nd national convention of the National Council of Catholie Women. Bishop Leven said the lay·. man's job in the Church is "not simply to do what the bishops and pastors tell him to do, but to use his talents-his charism"ta given him by the Holy Spirit to do what the Church needs." Parish Level At a press conference, he dis cussed the idea of diocesan sen ates to advise the bishops, which he endorsed in a talk last month to the ecumenical council.

Justice Clark' Urges Prayers At Home WAVERLY (NC)-Asso-' ciate Justice Tom Clark of the U.S. Supreme Court said children. need more prayers at home, not at school. Justice Clark. who wrote the court's opinion against required Bible reading and prayers in public schools, told some 200 public school administrators and clergymen at a conference on religion and the public schools at Wartburg College here in Iowa that when he was a boy' his mother made him go to Sunday School every week, and there was only one juvenile court in the United States. "Now they want the school to carryon the prayers and the juvenile courts' to take care of the discipline," he said. "I think the problem is right at home. "Our trouble is that we don't have any woodsheds any more and if we did, I don't think the parents would take them out there anyway." he added.

Says Waugh Autobiography Provides Great Pleasure
By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. It Is very difficult to convince anyone of the words of Our Lord: "Give and it will be given to you!"The advice that the world gives is common sense: "Keep it for yourself, and you will have it." Though the world often cannot see it, those who have followed the Lord's advice have always prospered spiritually, but not necessarily those who hoard.
By Rt. Rev. Msgr• .John S. Kennedy A book which affords the reader many kinds of pleasure is the first volume of Evelyn Waugh:s flutobiography,. A Little Learning (Little Brown. $5).

Recent!; this letter came to our attention: "Twenb'-twe years ago. I promised the Lord that If He woulcl provide work for me, I would give a tenth toward His work. Soon I had my first Job. I earned eighteen dollars In six weeks. Gladly I placed a dollar in the offering, but how the devil tempted me not to pari with the eighty cents, then with a quarter, then to withhold a nickel. Fortunately for me, the Lord reminded me to keep my promise. and I resolved to give (not cheerfully though, I admit). God had kept His prom Ise so I thought rd do the same. Never have I been tempted since to withhold any of the Lord's portion. He continues to open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings. He has increased my earn ing abilities twenty times in twenty-two years. I also have increased my giving. Instead of one-tenth, I am now giving three-tenths of my earnings. There are many blessings In giving to the Lord, but mostly th~ "Where your treasure is, there also is your heart." The next question is: To whom should you give the Lord'. portion? This is something you can decide for yourself, but always keeping in mind the words of the Vicar of Christ: "Charity to The Propagation of the Faith exceeds all other charities as heaven exceeds earth and eternity, time," In other words, the best way of remembering Our Lord, is to help extend the Faith to others. Always keep in mind that The Society for the Propagation of the Faith is the Holy Father's own Society. All the money fhat. you give to his Society goes directly to him. No distribution is made by any bishop, or any diocsesan or national dir~ctor in this country. The Vicar of Christ distributes where he sees the need to be greatest.

Adams expressed concern for what he called a growing trend to release public funds for pa rochial education, stating that such aid "can only lead to eventual control by the state over education."

Release Imprisoned Priests in Rumania BONN (NC) - All Catholic priests imprisoned in commu nist-ruled Rumania have been freed by an amnesty granted to all political prisoners, according to KNA, German Catholic news agency here. In 1948, Rumania's Red rulers dissolved the nation's Byzantine rite Catholic community. Reli gious orders were suppressed in 1949 and the cathedrals of Latin rite Catholic bishops were seized. Six Byzantine-rite bishops-five
of whom were secretly conse crated by the late papal nuncio, Archbishop Gerald P. O'Hara were sentenced to 18 years in prison in 1948. The only Catholic bishop now heading a See in Rumania is Bishop Aaron Marton of Alba Julia. He was released in 1955 after six years in prison, but has ·been subject to police surveil lance since.

Key to Religious Brother's
More -of Everything for Thanksgiving Shoppers••• ~
Life Is Generous Service By Rev. Joseph T. McGloin, SJ. He was tall, with his grey hair contrasting handsomely with the deep tan he picked up each Summer. He was a tough, rugged, energetic man whose favorite expression was a scornful "Big Deal I"~ uttered with particular em phasis whenever anyone tried to praise him for any may not. He may be brilliant or he may be just smart with the thing. A short time ago, he even greater wisdom of "com began to make his annual mon sense." retreat, went swimming one day
to relax, and died quietly at pool-side. His name was Max imilian Antczak, S.J., a J e sui t Brother we knew as Broth er Max. It's just too bad that ersatz religions have made such a fiasco of the 10 vely word "brother," with the {r "Amen, brother" bit and their "Thank you, brother for your generous contribution." Because "brother" means so much if we allow it to -friendship, and understanding and love, for instance. It has its deepest meaning, of course, in the fact that we are brothers of Christ and of each other, with God as our Father. And these are not pious, frothy words, but realistic and lovely facts. Opportunities for Sanctity The vocation of a religious brother is a tremendous thing, with great opportunities for sanctity and the humble service of God. It is just as much a brother's vocation to be a broth er as it is for most people to marry and for priests to be priests and nuns nuns. Like any other vocation, it is never a question of saying "I can't be this-" or "I don't want to be this - so I'll be that in stead." It is a question of a pos itive choice-that this is the best way for this person to save his soul, and the way God leads him to by His providence. One can get particularly furi .us at the ignoramus (invariably ~osing as an authority) who ,peaks of the brothers' life as though it were for those who were not good enough to be priests or some such nonsense. This is about like saying that Joseph was the foster-father of Our Lord because he wasin't good enough to light the incense before the Tabernacle in the Temple. Dedicated to God There are brothers and brothers, just as their are priests and priests, nuns and nuns. Some brothers teach, and this is their vocation. Some do hospital work, and this is theirs. The Jesuit brother, who happens to be my own brother, does just about everything that has to be done. He works and prays in a life dedicated to God by three vows of religion - poverty, chastity and obedience. He works with his hands as a skilled craftsman, with his mind as a bookkeeper, or with his heart as an infir marian. He works in his own eountry or on the foreign mis sions. But tHe secret of his life, as it is of any life, is not what he does, but why he does it and because of this "why"-how he does it. He works side by side with the priest, doing those jobs which will spring a priest loose to hear confessions, or say Mass, or preach or write or do what ever priestly work is needed at the time. Like st. Joseph The Jesuit brother comes from as varied a background as the priests. He may have had an ex tensive formal education, or he
He may be a young man of 18, just out of high school, or he may have knocked around the world a good deal before he entered. He may be able to do many things efficiently or he may be an expert only with a mop or broom. But whatever his background and talents, the key to the brother's life is service-quiet, unassuming, generous service whose only limit is "to give and not to count the cost." His is really the hidden' life of st. Joseph, and his press is just about as poor as Joseph's was, too. 'Never Looked Back' Brother Max entered the So ciety of Jesus after some little wandering. He spent three years in the U. S. Army overseas, then went from job to job until he became foreman of a brewery. He dated the usual amount, thought of marriage the usual amount, and couldn't quite see it as his own life's fulfillment. Almost by accident, he took a look at the Jesuit novitiate at Florissant, Missouri, then hopped in his car and drove for a few days to think it out, came back and entered the Society of Jesus as a brother. From that day, he never looked back. The list of Max's jobs and as complishments from 1939 until his death in 1963 doesn't make very romantic reading: Boiler house, vineyard, general main tenance, carpenter, g e n era 1 craftsman. The prose of such a list can't even hint at the poetry beneath. All for God But the list of jobs is not im portant. Nor is his skill.· What is important is that Max did these things for God, and, since they were for God, the greatest care and proficiency were nec essary. There must have been times when the orders he was given by his human superiors could have seemed a little silly to this skilled man, but, like St. Joseph, he knew that God sometimes wants us to carry out some seemingly foolish orders indeed. "Peaceful" may well be the adjective .hat best describes Max, or, for that matter, any Jesuit brother. He was at peace with himself and God, and he retained this peace even as he adjusted to each new job. He was always most welcome in a crowd and as a companion, and yet he loved solitude, too-not because he disliked company, but because of the peacefulness he found in solitude. 'Big Deal' The day of Max's funeral was overcast and damp, so that the approaches to the open grave were slippery. The entire Jesuit community of Jesuit College in Minnesota, with Max's relatives and other visitors and mourners, accompanied his coffin through the mist to the grave. At the grave, Brother Lee McNamee, S.J., one of Max's closest friends and a pall-bearer, slipped and almost fell into the grave ahead of Max. It was im possible not to imagine the "Big deal!" that must have 'been uttered from somewhere at the side of Christ-a Person who can recognize a really big deal when He sees him.

Canadian Court To Hear Key School Case
Anglican Co~lege Honors Priest
OTTAWA (NC)-The Su preme Court of Oanada has agreed to hear a ease which eouJd have major repercus sions on the finances of Catholic schools in the province of Onta rio. The case centers on the ques tion of what procedure com panies should follow in order to allocate part of their tax pay ments to Ontario Catholic schools, known as "separate" schools. In Ontario, individual taxpay ers have the right to designate that their education tax money go to support either public or separate schools. Private companies and corpor ations also may allocate their education taxes to the support of separate schools in proportion to the number of their Catholic shareholders. But in cases where it is impossible to determine the numberof Catholic shareholders, all the money goes to publie schools. The present case arose in 1960 when the Provincial Bank of Canada sought to allocate 63 per cent of its school taxes to the Ottawa separate school board. The bank contended that 63 per cent of its shareholders were Catholics. Confused Situation A County Court ruled in favor of the bank, but the Ontario Court of Appeals ruled against it, accepting the argument of the Ottawa public school board that the bank's contention that 63 per cent of its shareholders were Catholics was "hearsay." The bank had refused to file affida vits giv4lg the names of the shareholders and the number of their shares on the grounds that this was confidential informa tion. In appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada, the bank said the present situation with regard to the allocation of education taxes is one of "confusion" which must be clarified. The Supreme Court is not expected to hear the case before the end of the year.
Shrine Has World's Largest Rosary HOLLISTON (NC)-A rosary of granite beads and anchor chain adorns a three-acre plot of Our Lady of Fatima shrine in this Massachusetts town. It is reported to be the largest rosary in the world. Constructed by the Xaverian Missionary Fathers from 350 tons of granite and steel, the huge "string of beads" has a six foot crucifix and on each of the 53 beads the words of the Hail Mary are inscribed on copper plaques in as many qifferent languages. Father Oddo Galleazzi, S.X., shrine director, said, "It is meant to be used as a real rosary and is constructed in such a manner that entire families may pray together ~s they walk along a 950-foot paved pathway which surrounds it."
WINNIPEG (NC)-A Catholie priest received an honorary the ological degree from an Angli can college here in Canada Described as the first time such an award was made in North America and, possibly the world, the honorary doctorate of canon law was conferred on Father H. P. Kierans, S.J., of Halifax, N.S., at St. John's College annual con vocation here. The college is affiliated with the University of Manitoba. Father Kierans was rector of St. Paul's College, Winnipeg, from 1958 until early this year, when he was transferred to St. Mary's University in Halifax, a Jesuit institution, as dean of studies. Commenting on the award, the Rupert's Land News, Anglican publication of Winnipeg, said: "This is believed to be the first time that a Roman Catholic priest has accepted an Anglican theological degree anywhere in the world, and is known to be the first such occurrence in North America and Great Brit ain."
