The two-term Oregon gover-.nor, now serving his second termin the U. S. Senate, said herethat the nation must realize, asPresident Lincoln- did 110 yearsago, "that the beginning of pur­pose. is the recognition of theneed for redeeming love .. of theneed for confession and repen­tence,"

Hatfield, a prominent Baptistlayman, spoke at the fifth annu­al Iowa City Ecumenical Cel­ebration at the University ofIowa fieldhouse. He told a crowd

. estimated at 4,500 people thatthere is a crisis of purpose which"tries the soul of the nation andtests the resilience of the re­public," To face that crisis is"to come face to face with thereality of sin,"

The nation, Hatfield stated,cannnot continue to pretend"that 'God has somehow chosenand blessed America as He didancient Israel." He criticized themyth of a "national, folk reli­gion, devoid of civil religion andthe God revealed in Scripture."

Judge John Gibbons adv'isedcounsels for both sides to filebriefs before Sept. 28 so -that thepanel here could reach a deci­sion. The decision is expected tobe appealed to the U.S. SupremeCourt. '

Defense attorney WilliamBell, at the final hearing here,said a heavy atmosphere of dis­trust has prevailed on the partof the courts and, the plaintiffs.He said they have presumed un­fairly that the school administra­tors could too easily abuse theaid laws.

Bishop Weldon Says Tuition FreeCatholic Schools to Continue

SPRINGFIELD (NC)-"The di­ocese of Springfield is firmlycommitted to providing Catholicschool education on a tuitionfree basis," Bishop ChristopherWeldon of Springfield said in apastoral letter.

Pressures had been building onthe bishop to begin chargingtuition, said Bill Holub, commu­nity relations director for, thediocese. "But he's resisting thepressures," Holub added.

'Of a total of 4,081 Catholicelementary schools in the UnitedStates which reported to the Na­tional Catholic Education Asso·ciation for the 1972-73 schoolyear, 9.1 per cent were tuitionfree, according to Msgr. Olin J.Murdick, secretary of the U. S.Catholic Conference's Depart­ment of Education.

HowevJr, the' total reportingrepresented only about one-halfof the diocesan elementaryschools, which the 1973 editionof "The Official' Catholic Direc­tory" lists as totaling 8,504.

Urged to SlJlpportMission Sunday

WASHINGTON (NC) - TheU. S. bishops have been urgedto promote Mission Sunday (Oct.21) as a means of furthering themissionary objectives of the'Church.

The chairman of the Commit­tee on Missions of the NationalConference of Catholic Bishops(NCCB), Bishop Glennon P. Fla­vin of Lincoln, Neb." suggestedthat the bishops issued pastoralletters to "alert the members of 'your flock to an awareness ofthe material and spiritual needs ofthe missionary Church through­out the world and their responsi·bility in prayer and sacrifices."

The Committee on Missions,Bishop Flavin said, hoped thatpriests might observe MissionSunday by preaching homilieswhich would urge a sacrificialspirit reflective of a deep com­mitment to Christ and theChurch.

"Please God, th,e Mission Sun·day collection for the Societyfor the Propagation of the Faith,"Bishop Flavin wrote, "will main­tain the traditional high level ofgenerosity that characterizes theChurch here in the UnitedStates."

Robbi Asks Curb'On MissionsIn Israel

LONDON (NC)--Israel's ChiefRabbi Schlomo Goren has askedCardinal John Heenan of West­minster and Anglican ArchbishopMichael Ramsey of Canterburyto help restrict Christian mis­sionary activitly among Israel'sJews.

Rabbi Goren met with the twochurchmen here to ask for anend' to "the use of unreasenablemeans to persuade poor familiesto convert" to Christianity.

Some Orthodox' Jewish reli·gious leaders in Israel have beenurging the government to banmissionaries altogether. Theyclaim that some 6,000 or moreJews are converted annually to

'Christianity. One rabbi claimsthat in the past seven years "atleast 50,000 of our people havebeen lured away from Judaism."

Rabbis claim that missionariesare especially active among Rus­sian immigrants in new develop­ment towns.

Rabbi Goren has called for alaw forbidding missionary activ­ity that "exploits the misery ofindividuals."

Few ConversionsHe has expressed concern be­

cause the non·Jewish wives ofSoviet Jews coming to Israel donot seem willing to undergo therigorous conversion process pre­scribed by Jewish law. He saidthat out of hundreds of mixed­marriage families arriving in thepast year only three have ap­plied for conversion.

A conversion process set up in.Tel Aviv by the Chief Rabbinatehas so far failed to a,ttract, anyimmigrants." .' " ' ,

In, June there was ;an officialinvestigation of reports that amissionary organization was of­fering passages to Canada withthree year work contracts to im­migrants in Carmiel in northernIsrael.

Bishops AdvisedTo Delay Joining'National Council

WASHINGTON (NC)-A com­mittee of the U. S. bishops' Ad­visory Council has recommended"postponement" of a decision onCatholic membership in the Na­tional Council of Churches.

A spokesman for the U. S.Catholic Conference told NCNews that the committee hasproduced a "significant report."He added, however, that sugges­tions not to join the NCC shouldnot be taken to mean that thecause for ecumenism has beenslowed. He, said ·that ecumenistsare aware there is more to ecu­menism than seeking member-

, ship into an organization.NC News Service was in­

formed that the. co'mmittee hadsought· counsel of several USCCoffices regarding the feasibilityof membership of the USCC andthe national Council of Churches.

The USCC offices were gener­ally il} favor of postponing mem­bership in the NCC, at least forthe triennium that began Jan. 1,1973, a USCC spokesman toldNC News Service.

Await Final ReportThe report was passed on by

the Advisory Council to theNCCB Administrative Committeewhich has taken no formal ac­tion, Bishop James S. RauschUSCC/NCCB general secretary,said.

The U. S. Bishops will not takeany formal action on the ques­tion of joining the NCC until theNCCB Ecumenical and Interreli­gious Affairs Committee makes afinal report to the bishaops.. Bishop Rausch said that the

. committee of the Advisory Coun­cil noted that "the importance ofthe decision concerning mem­bership demands a much morethorough .consideration than theCatholic Church has hitherto re­ceived."

Bishop Rausch said the com­mittee went on to urge that thematter be "systematical1y stud­ied" by diocesan upastoral coun­cils.

_Dinky TacticsThat needed to be said, ancl

I am glad that Raskin said it soemphatically. Hopefully his welldeserved compliment to Pres­ident Meany and the AFL-CIOwill help to counteract some ofthe snide remarks being dire'ctedat both by certain groups inand out of the labor movementwho seem to think that it's styl­.ish to caricature George Meany,'s a reactionary hardhat and tomake light of labor's contribu­tion to the cause of social justice.

One such group-a politicallymotivated caucus within theAmerican Federation of Teachers-:-is using some pretty dirty tac­tics to undermine Mr. Meany'sreputation, as a progressive laborleader. At the recent AFT con­vention' in Washington, the lead­ers of this caucus - who dfdn'thave the decency to identifythemselves-anonymously circu­1ated a mimeographed newslettercharging that President Meanyis in the 'process of selling outthe United Farm Workers Unionin a nefarious deal with theTeamsters. More·specifically, thispropaganda leaflet. alleged that"Meany is attempting to make atop level deal with Fitzsimmons.The most recent proposal is fora dIviding of territory."

Real TargetThat's a completely false accu..

sation. The anonymous AFI'delegates who made the accusa­tion must have had their ownfish to fry. My guess is that thereal target of their criticism isnot Mr. Meany, but their com,petitors for office. in the AFT.To undermine their competitors,they will probably use any_means at their disposal-indud-'ing libelous statements aboutGeorge Meany.

In my opinion, they are mak­ing a serious mistake in this re­gard. They obviously have a per­fect right to try to gain po-

. Iitical control of the AFT, butthey ought to leave GeorgeMeany and the UFW out of it.This business of pretending thatthey are the real friends of theFarm Workers and that GeorgeMeany is an en(;lmy of the UFWis the shoddiest kind of prop­aganda. I might add that I findit hard to conceal my contemptfor any group that would stoopso low as to play political gameswith the farm worker issue. Withfriends like that, the UFWdoesn't need any enemies.

GEORGE G.

A. H. Raskin, a veteran labor reporter now serving ina top position on the editorial staff of the New York Times,is not one to hand out compliments to the American labormovement unless he thinks they are warranted by thefacts. To the contrary, heseems to pride himself onbeing critical of labor for itsown good. For this reason,it was all the more remarkablethat Raskin unexpectedly wentout of his way in his Labor Daypiece in the Times to say so

many nice things about thelabor movement. To be sure, hecarefully hedged his complimentswith qualified adjectives but, onthe whole, his SJate of theUnions message was all thatlabor could have asked for andconsiderably more, I suspect,t han it had dared to hope for,given Raskin's reputation as anuncompromising critic of themovement.

'''Selfishness and venality with­in labor," he said in his LaborDay column, "hav'e taken no hol­iday, and the right of the indi­vidual to dissent is 'something toextol in Labor Day statements,not to practice in most unionhalls. Yet, with all that, the fro­zen front is melting, :Fresh windsarc rustling through the cobweb­bed House of Labor."

Highest ComplimentThat's not the sort of state­

ment that the labor movementwill be tempted to quote out ofcontext to its own advantage.It's much too critical and muchtoo carefully worded for that.bn the other hand, it's a compli­ment of sorts-perhaps the high­est compliment that Raskin haspaid to organized labor in recentyears.

Cardinal RepeatsCall for MercyIn Chile

SANTIAGO (NC) - CardinalRaul Silva of Santiago repeatedthe Chilean bishops' call for mer­cy to officers of the armed forceswho toppled the nation's Marx­ist government Sept. 11.

At a Te Deum in his cathedralon Chile's Independence Day,Sept. 18, the cardinal said: "Wepray to Our Lord that there -fillbe no victors, no conqueredones."

He immediatedly ;'offered ourselfless cooperation to the newrulers, in the tasks of reconcili­ation and reconstruction."

The Te Deum was the only of­ficial act aIlowed by the govern­ment in the aftermath of the bat­tle between soldiers and workersthat raged in downtown Santiagoand some working class sectionsSept. 11 and 12.

Common SenseThe junta that ousted Marxist

President Salvador Allende, whoreportedly killed himself, bannedthe traditional armed forces pa­rade, claiming snipers were stillshooting.

Cardinal Silva said in his hom­ily that the Te Deum was a spir­itual shot "to encourage all Chil­eans to establish a climate, of un­derstanding, justice and commonsense, based on forgiveness anda spirit of neighborliness."

"We must put an end to differ­ences and conflicting opinions"over the recent past, the cardinaladded.

Four days after the coup he iso,sued an appeal for clemency tothe new military rulers, saying:"We ask for moderation towardthe defeated ones, and that allunnecessary reprisals be avoided... Many of the ousted leaderswere moved by sincere idealismand this must be taken into ac­count."

troIled by the speaker so that itcomes out as a pseudolanguage.

Explaining charisma as the'life energy of the Church, FatherO'Connor said that it providesthe sap to the wood, or institu­tions, of the Church insuring itsunity, order and endurance.

The religious meaning of thecharismatic embraces prophecyas well as ~he gifts people needfor their ministry and even per­sonai experience of God, he said.

"Both charisma and institu­tions came from Jesus," he con­tinued. "Both are necessary tothe Church because it is a com­munity and Jesus united both insuch a way that institutionsthemselves are charismatic."

MQve to Delay AidTo Chilean Rulers

WASHINGTON (NC) - Cath­olic and Protestant leaders havevoiced their concern over humanrights in Chile in the aftermathof the military coup there, andare asking the U.S. governmentto go slow on granting recogni­tion to the new rulers.

The International Affairs Com­mittee of the Methodist Churchtold officials at the Departmentof State that it is "deeply con­cerned for the protection of polit­ical refugees residing in Chile"and asked- them to explore "waysof assuring the safety, well-beingand freedom of those refugees."

In Washington, representativesof the National Council ofChurches (NCC) and of the U.S.Catholic Conference (USCC)made representations before theDepartment of State on behalfof followers of Salvador Allende,the Marxist president toppled bythe Sept. 11 coup.

Brooklyn School.Strike Drags On

BROOKLYN (NC)-The strikeof high school teachers in theBrooklyn diocese, despite fullsupport from the tough NewYork State United Teachers Or­ganization, has been a gentle­manly kind of thing during itsfirst two weeks.

Both sides are stubborn inintensive salary negotiations. TheCatholic diocese has offered a$300 annual pay hike, and thestriking Lay Faculty Association(LFA) has come down in its de·mand from the original $1,000 to$800 at the time of the walkouton Sept. 13 and to $750 ten dayslater.

But, like the strike of Catholicteachers against the archdioceseof New York in December 1971,this one has been lacking in theverve and bitterness that oftenmarks the scene when picketsand police and parents startshouting at each other beforethe cameras at a public schoolshutdown.

This strike is the longest labordispute in the Catholic schoolhistory of the. diocese. It affectsseven schools and, in one wayor another 12,000 students.Ninety per cent have gone reg­ularly to school buildings forsplit sessions or all day classes,or movies supervised by skeletonstaffs. "It's better than 1;leing

the schools, 353 originally sup­ported the strike. Eleven workingdays later 318 teachers wer~ out.

Respect Life - '[he ExceptionalThis upcoming week of October-Respect Life Month-­

turns attention to the mentally retarded.

The late Cardinal Cushing called the mentally re..tarded exceptional and with good reason. They call uponexceptional understanding and kindness on the part offamily and community. They summon forth an exceptiona!degree of the highest purpose of the state-the protectionof those in most need of protection. And they give, in re··turn,' an exceptional measure of love and dedication.

It is estimated that in the United States there. areabout six million exceptional persons. The first reactionto this must be that every.expectant mother must be pro­vided with good pre-natal care and good post-natal adviceso that there be a minimum of risk to the unborn an~ new­born child.

A second reaction must be clearly identification ofmental retardation so that a child may receive, as earlyas possible, the attention and care that will minimize theproblem and aid him in his development.

It is a matter of fact that eighty per cent of mentallyretarded children can grow up to lead happy and produc­tive lives, but so much does depend upon early recognitionand training.

Science must be supported so that the c.auses of mentalretardation may be learned and answers found. Great stridesare being made. all the time in areas that were previouslythought to be without answers. Man must never take aclosed door as being the final answer but must continueto look for solutions to problems and especia:lly in thisarea of mental retardation.

Above everything else, people must not get into' thehabit of equating high intelligence with a worthwhile lifeand low intelligence wit.h life t.hat is hardly worth living.

'. . T,h~. age in .wl)ichwe live puts far too much stock in"the beautiful people" -:- those with good looks and ..highintelligence· and witty personaHties.· A.11 this is. equatedwith "the good life." And the accompanying frame of mimisees the unlovely in appearance, the slow in intelligence,the dull in personality, as being so much excess baggagein the sum total of humanity, people hardly deserving ofthe name, people to be warehoused out of the mainstreamof like and tucked away out of sight and considerationof others.

This is not said in so many words-but the realityis there just the same.

This .is the attitude that must be combatted duringthis coming week that ask a renewal of respect for thementally retarded.

:They are children of God.' Many of them-in thatbeautiful phrase of St. Paul- will remain "children inmalice" with little or no awareness of what it is to offendGod. And that is. a state of soul that any person wouldlike to bring with him before the judgement of AlmightyGod.

But all people must see the exceptional as brothersand sisters in the human family, as children of God called .upon' to go through this life in ~s productive a way aspossible, knowing God in the greatest measure of theircapacity and loving God in that full way that is theirs., .

In Community' Service Activities

Catholic Schools.Look for Newfa'orms of ,Aid

NEWARK (NC)-A broad pic­ture of how Catholic school of­ficials in New Jersey hope, tocope with adverse court deci­sions on state aid programs hascmerged here as a result of aseries of meetings.

Basically, this is the patternthat is emerging:

-A push for increased healthservices, an' area where therehas been no state involvementto date. Local government agen­cies or school boards providesome services, but these seldommatch what is available to publicschool students.

-An increase in pcr-pupil ex­penditures for bus service. Thelimit now is $HiO and parentsin remote areas make up the dif­ference where costs exceed thatfigure. The number of parentsin that category is rising becauseof inflation. .

-A new book-loan programmodeled on programs in useelsewhere. This would be usedif the current state statute failsto survive a U. S. Supreme Courttest. The state !has appealed alower court decision upsetting aprogram which reimbursed par­ents up to $15 per student forbooks.

All Possible MeansThe pattern emerged following

meetings of Catholic school offi­cials and parents with the twogubernatorial candidates, bothCatholics, and a study day forpastors run by the Newark arch­diocese.

Brendan T. Byrne, Democraticcandidate for governor, and hisRepublican rival, U. S. Rep.Charles W. Sandman told par­ents' groups, they sympathizewith the plight of Catholicschools. Both men indicated in­terest in the general proposalsthat were made.

In addition, Byrne issued a let­ter affirming the need to "ex­plore all possible means to finda constitutional method of sup­port for nonpublic school chil­dren. . . . f am convinced that'providing such support is essen­tial to insuring quality educationfor every school child in thestate."

BY PAT McGOWAN

"Those kids just want to beloved," reported a Bishop Con­nolly High School senior afterhis first visit to Nazareth HallSchool for Exceptional Children.

"The people are so friendly,"said another student who'd beenapprehensive about workingwith elderly residents at High­land Heights Apartments in FallRiver.

Both boys ~re' participants inCARE, an' innovative communityservice program offered to sen­iors at Connolly under the direc­tion of Paul Carrier, S.J.

Carrier, a Jesuit scholastic,teaches' journalism, ethics andphilosophy on the Fall River highschool faculty. He was asked byRev. Thomas Gibbons, S.J." prin­cipal, to organize CARE as a re­sponse to the Jesuit Preamble,a statement recently promul­gated by the National Associa­tion of Jesuit High. Schools. Itcalls for, among other things,the development of awareness ofcommunity problems by studentsat Jesuit 'schools.

CARE, said Carrier, is an ac­ronym for Community Aware­ness Response Experience. It dif­fers fr,om programs in otherJesuit schools in that it offersacademic credit for service ac­tivities, which are tied into reg­ular journalism, ethics and phil­osophy courses.

"We have classroom work fourdays a week and directed fieldwork one day," explained Car­rier. "In other words; we're notsaying to the boys, 'We thinkcommunity service is important,but do it on your own time.'We're saying, 'It's so importantwe will give you school time inwhich to do it.' "

No Dropouts

The fact that academic creditis offered is also a buift-in pro­tection against dropping out andabsenteeism, noted the scholastic.

He said that students' areworking at St. Vincent's Homeand Nazareth Hall in one-to-oneremedial, tutorial or recreationalrelationships. They are at numer-

ous homes for the aged, handi­capped, offering entertainment,aiding in publication of news­letters and "just plain visiting."There are plans for making film­strips, slides and a documentary­

'type movie at Highland Heightsin connection with the Home­maker-Home Health Service ofFall River.

Several boys' are teaching inthe CCD program at nearby HolyName parish and some are atPeople, Inc., a facility for men­

.tally retarded adults. There theyassist in the coffee shop, work­shop and mental health centerand in some cases engage in aone-to-one tutoring program.

Basic Problems

"The CARE program seeks tobring the student volunteer tothe experience of human life thatintegrates without destroying,that brings to life the best poten­tials 'to create, to love, and toserve. In it the senior volunteermeets another person at the levelof common humanity and shareswith that person affection, en­couragement, sympathy andlove," notes an explanatory leaf­let prepared by Carrier.

"The program is set within theframework of Christian reflec­tion and action. The volunteerfinds himself facing basic humanproblems ...To these questionsand problems the CARE programpresents the Christian messageof healing and hope."

About 45 'seniors or one-thirdof the senior class are involvedin CARE, said Carrier. He hasalerted other Fall River Catholichigh schools to the program, in­viting their students to partici­pate if they desire, and the fieldwork is also open to Connollystudents not enrolled in Carrier'sclasses. '

Regular meetings of all projectgroups, to include teachers, stu­dent volunteers and supervisorsat the' various field work sites,are scheduled, Carrier said. Mostboys are active in one of theprojects, although a few haveopted to participate in two, henoted.

Carrier is a 1967 graduate of

the former Prevost High Schoolin Fall River and he notes thatamong the ,Brothers of ChristianInstruction on the Connolly fac­ulty are some who were histeachers at Prevost. He termsthe unusual combination of Jes­uits and teaching brothers atConnolly, which came aboutafter Prevost High School wasdemolished by fire, a wonderfuland smoothly working arrange­ment.

He is a native of St. Roch'sparish and his mother, Mrs. Mad­eleine Carrier, is now a memberof' St. Mary's Cathedral parish.A brother, Francis, 19, is a stu­dent at Bristol Community Col­lege.

He's happy with the CAREpro'gram and says it is openingwindows for his students. "Oneboy working. at Nazareth Halljust couldn't get over how muchit meant to the child he wasworking with to learn how towrite a number."

Catholic AnglicanSchool Recognized

LONDON (NC) - The Britishgovernment has officially recog­nized the first school inside thestate education system to bejointly owned and governe~ byCatholic and Anglican author­ities.

The school, at Torquay on theEnglish south coast, is calledthe Cuthbert Mayne Comprehen­sive School, after one of the En­glish Martyrs. It was openedfive years ago as a small Cath­olic secondary school for stu­dents 11 to 15.

One-quarterof the student placesand two of the governorshipsare in future to be 'held by An­glican nominees. The Anglicanswil pay one-quarter of the cost-imposed on all Church schoolsinside the state system--of build­ing, extending and maintainingthe institution.

The anglicans have the rightif they wish to separate religiousworship and education. Teacherswill be proportionately repre-sented. '

Admit SocialReform Drags

BOGOTA (NC) - Secretariesof 19 national bishops' confer­ences agreed here that five yearsof Church renewal and socialreform in Latin America havedone little to improve the lotof the majority of the people.

"The Church, is under pressureby extreme rightists and extremeleftists, and this blOCks her ef­forts," said the meeting, spon­sored by the Latin AmericanBishops' Council (CELAM) head­quartered here.

All the Latin American nationsexcept Cuba, Guatemala andHaiti sent delegates to the gath­ering, called by CELAM'S sec­retary general, Bishop AlfonsoLopez Trujillo. .

The meeting reviewed effortsto implement the Medellij} guide­lines for renewal and reform,issued at that Colombian city in1968 by the second general as­sembly of the Latin Americanbishops. '

Discussions of the main theme:"Evangelization and Liberation,"led to the admission that "it isvery hard to break down privi.leges resulting from the concen­tration of wealth in the hands ofthe few."

While observers of the ChurcHscene in Latin America say thelocal leadership moves slowly,the meeting indicated renewedefforts at reform should be forth­coming.

CalifQrnio HasConsc i,ence L'ow

SACRAMENTO (NC) - Cath­olic hospitals. and Catholic doc­tors and nurses at non-Catholichospitals, as well as any otherswith moral objections, can nolonger be required to perform ortake part in abortions in Califor­nia.

The new law takles effectJan. I, following signing by Gov.Ronald Reagan, but state capitalobservers considered it highlyunlikely any legal or other ac­tions contrary to the spirit of theTherapeutic Abortion Act will betaken in the interim.. Under the act, sponsored byAssemblyman Frank Murphy Jr.,a Republican from Santa Cruz,any non-profit medical facilityorganized or operated by anyreligious group will not be re­,quired to perform abortions.

Neither may employees ofother hospitals be required totake part in abortions in viola­tion of their moral, ethica.1 orreligious beliefs. To gain suchexemption, however, the employ­ee must give the employing hos­pital written notice of his or herbeliefs.

Murphy said he authored hisbill after learning a Catholichospital in Montana had beenordered to perform sterilizationson demand because it was re­ceiving public money.

"Although there is no (Cali­fornia) statute which now re­quires religious hospitals to per­form abortions," Murphy ob­served, "this measure is .a safe­guard against either a courtruling or a future statute withsuch a requirement."

Delay in RecognizingChile Regime Urged

TORONTO (NC) - The majorsuperiors of Religious in Ontarioprovince have joined otherchurch leaders in urging theCanadian' government to delayrecognition of the new militarygovernment of Chile.

In a resolution unanimouslyendorsed by the 60 delegates tothe annual fall assembly of theOntario region of the CanadianReligious Conference, the supe­riors called the Sept. 11 militarycoup in Chile "an affront to de-mocracy and liberty." '

They asked the Canadian gov·ernment to delay recognition ofthe new Chilean government"until it is clearly a govern­ment of the people," and "togrant political 'asylum to Chil­eans and foreigners. in Chile whorequest this of the Canadian gov­ernment."

They also expressed concernfor the safety of Canadian cit­izens in Chile.

I knocked again. "You thinkyou're so smart, not answering.You think that I think thatyou're Mom. Well, you're notfooling me;"

Finally his curiosity got thebest of him. The startled look onhis face when he opened thedoor was so comical I couldn'thelp laughing.

Now Jesus, in His time, was astartling person, and the Gospelsare full of events where Heshocked both His friends and Hisenemies. It seems perfectly nor­mal to me to think there musthave been times He couldn't helplaughing at their consternation.

Humor NeededSome days I believe that see­

ing the humor in raising kids isall that keeps me from murder­ing them. Is it possible thatJesus's sense 'of humor is all thatkeeps Him from wiping out man·kind?

Jesus was human in all thingsbut sin, Humans, unlike anim~ls,

have, 11 sl'!nse of humor thatmakes them laugh. Normal peo·pIe do laugh' frequently ... andwithout committing sin. Some ofus are even able to laugh at our·selves. '

What about a Little Boy aqdHis young mother? Didn't they

,ever laugh? What about the wed­ding at Cana? Not th~re, either?

I'll bet He did.So, my Jesus is a happy man.

I know He is God too, but Idon't see any reason why beingdivine should diminish His senseof humor.

Pope StressesRights of Others

VATICAN CITY (NC) - PopePaul VI stressed the need for

The new ambassador is Samial-Droubi, a 52-year-old careerdiplomat who once representedhis country as il permanent del­egate to the Ar~b League.

The ambassador, in presentinghis diplomatic credentials to thePope, referred to the 'sufferingsthat have resulted from the Mid­dlle East conflict and stressedthe need to work for peace andjustice.

In reply Pope Paul said that "ifno people can, be excluded fromthe spiritual family which is em- 'braced by the mercy of God,none can be excluded from thehuman family, and each (nation)must be able to -be recognized,to enjoy its inviolable rights toexistence, life and to the dignityof its own members, withoutforgetting its obligations towardsothers."

Pope Paul said it is necessary"to lead all to see in every mana brother, to form consciences to(recognize) this major duty, toobtain a wider a~reement of pub­lic opinion, and to seek out ...the agreements and the juridicalinstruments that guarantee jus­tice for all."

"The Supreme Court, however,does not concern itself with theissue of whether or not abortionis murder," Bartlett said. "Itcloses' its' eyes to this all­important issue and, busying it­self ~ith sophistry discusses onlythe purely legal issue of the defi­nition of 'person' in the 14thAmendment."

The court ruled that an unbornchild is not a "person" under theterms of that amendment. Bart­lett described this part of the rul­ing "a manifest absurdity," say- 'ing that the child continues to bedependent on 'its mother foryears.

"By the .logic 'of the argument'of whether a child is dependenton the mother, we ,could extermi­nate newborn children and, byextension, the elderly and sickwho are unable to take care ofthemselves," the senator said.

But even if the court was un­certain about the beginning oflife, he s'aid "common sense dic­tates that one take the safercourse. Thus, if there is a possi-'bility that abortion is the takingof human life, one would natural­ly forbid abortion until the mat­ter can be decided c~nclusively

1910 when his horse slippedwhile g9ing up the bank of anarrovo. The horse, whom FatherTymen 'affectionately remembersas "Old Pancho," slipped andfell bac,k on top of him, break­ing one of the priest's legs anda foot.

There was no doctor to carefor him and Father Tymen's legsdid not heal straight.

"I kept ongoing , kept onworking," said ,Father Tymen. "Icouldn't get up the steps of thealtar after that, but I kept ongoing."

He suffered a rattlesnake bitein 1919 in Eagle Pass. Old agehas now forced the priest to taketo a wheel chair.

BROWNSV,ILLE (NC) - The"Cavalry of Christ" rode throughsouth Texas around the turn ofthe cel)tury, but now that groupof horseback missionaries is onlya memory.

"We used horses in those daysto visit the missions, because,there was no other way to getaround," said Oblate Father YvoTymen, no~ 94 and the lastsurviving member of the cavalry.

Father Tymen is now retired.He lives in a small room in therectory of Immaculate onceptionCathedral here.

With an ancient purple beret,badge of his native Brittany,cocked over one eye, he recent­ly recalled his days in the "Cav­alry of Christ."

Urge GovernmentAid p'oor Cc)untries

MISSISSAUGA (NC) - Themajor superiors of' Ontario's Re­lig'ious have asked the Canadiangovernment to use its infhienceto obtain for underdevelopedcountries increased rights todraw on the resources of the In­ternational Monetary Fund (IMF).

The Superiors, membersof the Canadian Religious Con­ference-Ontario (CRCO), repre­senting 8,460 Religious men andwomen, unanimously endorsed"the principle of establishing alink between assistance to lessdeveloped countries in the re­form of the international mon­etary system."

The issue of linking assistanceto poor countries to internationalmonetary reform is one of theprincipal topics to be discussedat the current meeting of the In­ternational Monetary Fund inNairobi, Kenya.

The IMF, set up in 1944, is anorganization of 120 countrieswhose purposes are to promoteinternational monetary cooper­ation, facilitate expansion ofinternational trade and he)pmembers meet temporary bal­ance of payments difficultieswhen imports greatly exceed ex­ports. .

$500,000 GivenFor Victi.,,,sOf Drought

NEW YORK (NC) - CatholicRelief Services (CRS) has re­ceived more than $500,000 incontributions, including $164,000from 38 dioceses, Ifor its fund toaid the drought stricken nationsof West Africa.

Some $200,000 has been aIIo­cated by"CRS, the overseas re­lief agency of the U. S. Church,for digging wells and buildingirrigation systems in three of thesix affected nations - Senegal,Upper Volta and Mauritania.

Those nations and three others-Chad, Mali and Niger-havereceived $367,000 in other formsof aid, including food supple­ments, antibiotics, clothing, blan·kets and seed for new crops.

The $200,000 for wells and irri­gation-along with grants fromEuropean and American organ­izations-will enable CRS to ex­pand its long range water proj­ects designed to lessen the im­pact of future droughts:

Lost Crops, Herds

The drought has affected sixmillion persons in an area justsouth of the Sahara Desert. Thesix-nation area, about half the·size of Europe, lost crops andherds of cattle. Rain came inJune after years of drought, andthe first harvest is expected bythe end of October.

CRS officials here said, how·ever, that aid is still needed par­ticularly for the young and agedwho have been hardest hit by thelack of food.

In addition to 11. S. contribu­tions, CRS has received a totalof nearly $160,000 from foreignagencies: Oxfam, England; Dan­churchaid, Copenhagen; Help­the-Aged, London; Lutheran Aid,Sweden; Caritas, Belgium; Ox­fam, Canada; and Swedish Inter­church aid.

Sacred Hearts Af~ad~my Book FairTo Feature '~rop 20' Priest

Rev. Edmund Nadolny, com·munications director of the Hart·ford archdiocese, is a man witha message. It will be heard at 8P.M. Thursday, Oct. 25 at theannual book fair sponsored by'the Parents' Association of Sa­cred 'Hearts Academy, Fall River.

Father Nadolny, conc;ernedover the drift of teenagers fromthe Church, began three yearsago to record"sermons specifi·cally for the music-and-newsradio station teens listen to most.Now his "Top 20" sermons arecarried by 175 stations acrossthe natjon. . ,

In them he relates mu~ic, newsand the gospel to such teen prob­lems as boy-girl relationships,family difficulties, drug use, lone­liness and personal appearance.

God's PresenceA song such as Caroie King's

"You Light Up My Life" can beused, to explain that God is pres·ent where people enjoy truefriendship. And a gospel songsuch as "Amazing Grace," nowenjoying a pop vogue, is made toorder for his purpos':!s.

Father Nadolny doesn't con­Jine himself to music-with-a-mes­sage. He also conducts radio talkshows and is active as a mar­riage counselor. In al!, he says heproduces 17 different .types ofradio shows, which are carriedby 500 radio stations includingthe 175 pop music outlets.

He's not making !poney onhis radio career, actually h;1vinghis efforts underwritten by pri­vate contributors. But he feelshie's making waves in the teenagew'orId, as well as among adultradio 'listeners, as he obeys in,20th century fashion the ancientcommand, "Preach the gospel toan men."

know: every doctor is an indi­vidual. Each treats his tonsil­lectomy patients differently.

Wide VariancesThe variations in treatment

were wide. Three of the boy~

stayed two nights in the hospital,an effort to cut down post­surgical hemorrhaging at homeOne boy stayed only the nightbefore surgery. One physiciangave no post-surgical pain reliev­ers; another gave them at everywince. One physician had his pa­tient's temperature taken every15 minutes after surgery for fouruninterrupted hours. None of theothers followed such a procedure.

Fortunately, we parents wereable to talk about our reactionsto the differing treafments.(What else could we do, sittingin a darkened room with recu­perating boys for about 15hours?) We began admitting to'and chuckling over our overpro­tectiveness, wondering aloudwhy the mother of the fourthboy seemed so relaxed and un·concerned.

"I've been through it four,times," she said. "When youknow what's right for your child,you don't let the care of otherchildren worry you.".

Wise mother. I've thought ofher words in' many contextssince then. When I'm sure ofwhat's right for my child, I don'tlet the methodology of othersbother me. It's only when I'm un­sure of what I'm doing that Iget nervous in the' parenthoodrole.

For instance, if I know one ofmy children needs 10 hours sleepto be livable, I don't let it fazeme if some pediatrician says nor·mal children need only eight. Ifmy children thrive in and enjoya traditional c1as~room situation,why should I be worried if theyaren't getting "open concept" ormodular scheduling? If I feel mychildren are developing good reli­gious attitudes on a level withtheir moral· understanding, whyshould I be concerned beca'use achild in the next parish is beingconfirmed at eigt? Or IS? '

.It's IgnoranceIgnorance is what keeps so

mimy parents upset over thestate of religious education. In­stead of doing their homework,they worry and complain. Eachvariation in parish programs up­sets them. They're unhappy iftheir children are learning some­thing. Cousin Sue's catechism ismore important to them thanreading the paper sent home bytheir children's. religion teacher,explaining the purpose andvalue of their lesson. '. I suppose, back in the tonsil­

lectomy ward, we parents wouldhave been more satisfied if allthe boys had identica1.treatment.If there were no variations, dif'-.fering philosophies, or uniqueprocedures, we would 'have con­concluded all the doctors agreedon treatment. We would have'been wrong but comfortable. Isthat what we .want .to get backto in religious education?

VATICAN CITY (NC) - U. S.Catholic Relief Services (CRS) isa "tremendous help" to millionsstill threatened with death in thedrought-stricken Sahelian zoneof Africa, according to a topofficial of Cor Unum, Pope Paul'scoordinating agency for interna­tional Catholic relief efforts. '

At a press conference hereSwiss Dominican Father Henride Riedmatten, secretary of CorUnum, praised the efforts of CRS-the overseas aid organizationof American Catholics-in thesix stricken African countries.. '

Father De Riedmatten, recent-ly returned from a mid-Septem­ber meeting in Ouagadougou,Upper Volta, with governmentand Church leaders, !!.aid the sit­uation is still perilous but thatrelief efforts are paying off. '

At the Vatican press confer­ence the Dominican priest saidtl1at, although some rain hadcome to some countries, govern-'ment leaders consider it neces·sary "to maintain a state ofemergency for the coming year."

One of the "plus" factors inthe devastation that overtookMali, Chad, Niger, Mauritania"Senegal and Upper Volta lastyear is the aid delivered by gov·ernment and charitable organiza­tions, the relief coordinator said.

I went through my first tonsillectomy as a .motherlast spring. When Mike hopped into the only unoccupiedbed in Ward 353, I considered myself ,an unselfish human­itarian mother, concerned about the plight of all children.The next day' I was a my­chifd-first mother who look­ed upon the other three in­nocent seven-year-old boysas threats to my son's welfare.

I learned something about my­self, something a bit uncomfort­able. After years of snickering

at Little League parents sharp­ening their claws on each other,I found that I was as fiercelyprotective as any lioness whenthe kids were down.

When the nurse came in to'take one of the other boy's tem­perature, I wondered, "Whyisn't she taking Mike's"But when she gave only Mikea medication, I wondered, "WhyMike? Is something wrong withhim?"

The parents of two otherpa­tients were no better, includingthe dads. One father \\:,as quiteupset when they zipped a vaportent around my Mike because hewas the only one so treated.Ironically, I was equally upset"thinking perhaps his conditionwas worse than the others'.

BOYS TOWN (NC) - FatherRobert ,Po Hupp has been nameddirector of Boys Town, a havenfor homeless boys founded byFather Edward Flanagan in 1917.

He will succeed Msgr. NicholasJ. Wegner who retired.

A study of Boys Town is beingconducted by a New York firm,Father Hupp noted, "and thisstudy indicates changes in per·sonnel, structure and direction."

But he added that he had nospecific changes in mind yet.

Father Hupp said he has never'been officially connected withBoys Town but that he was apersonal friend of Father Flana·gan, the founder.

He also noted that he is now a"next door neighbor" to BoysTown since his parish which hefounded 20 years ago, bordersthe institution. As a result, headded, the grounds, personneland many of the boys are famil-iar to him. .

AI::hoough never connected withthe Boys Town, Father Hupp hashad a.mple experience with youth.

lain in World War II-whichsaw him serve on board the air·craft carrier Guadalcanal and. asa chaplain to a stockade-he wasappointed Omaha, Neb., arch­diocesan director of the CatholicYouth Organization upon his re­turn. Later, he became' vice­president of the first priests'senate in the archdiocese. .

In the Kitch5!n,Ever on the lookout for a good

cookbook, I was pleased when Icarrie across the "Freezing andCanning Cookbook" (revised ed­ition) edited by Nell B. Nichols,Field Food Editor of the FarmJgurnal and published by Double­day & Company. First of all ithas some very good recipes col­lected from farm women acrossthe country and tested in theFarm Journal's Countryside TestKitchens. Secondly, because Ihave' a marvelous new refriger­ator with a large freezer, thefreezing tips in this book lookinvaluable.

The chapter headed "MainDishes" is well worth. the $6.95purchase price, especially ifyou're a working homemaker,because there are some greatrecipes and tips on preparing

, main dishes ahead of time. Suchbasic recipes' of Hamburger Mixare given along with interestingway's to use such' a mix on atime-saving basis.

it looks as if more and more ofour energies will be channeledinto ways to save and use itwisely. Canning and preservingcould well become one of thoseways and that's why the sixchapters on Home Canning lookgreat., There is something comfortingand trustworthy about thethought of a bright farm kitchenfilled with freshly baked goodsand steaming casseroles. Perhaps'that's one reason the Farm Jour·nal Cookbooks have been 'such asuccess-or maybe it's just be­cause they contain such greatcollections of recipes.

A sure indication that the weather is changing camelast night when the kids made their first batch of popcornin quite some time. A little cold and all of us start thinking

.in terms of cold weather activities, or at least those activ­ities which we associate withindoor living. For the chil­dren the cold weather meansa fire in the fireplace, pop­corn; television, reading, hotchocolate and friends in thehouse. For Marilyn and I itmeans that our activities becomemore house-centered. Marilynturns more to reading and sewingand I-take the opportunity tocatch up on my reading thatgot away from ,me while I wasin the garden.

Nice CounterbalanceThank God for the change of

pace that the weather forces onus! We cannot' be furiously ac­tive all 'the year round and yetwe cannot be homebound andsedate either. The Spring andSummer months foster physicalactivity which is . counterbal­anced nicely by the mental pur­suits of Fall and Winter..

Exactly when our activitieschange is difficult to determineor v'hat triggers the change inour modus operandi but a change

• does take place. As a child Iwould often amuse myself onrides with my father by trying tolocate the exact place where the

. snow had stopped falling, or ifwe were driving through a rainstorm I would concentrate onlocating the exact moment atwhich the rain ended.

I knew that the rain stoppedsomewhere but .I was alwaysfrustrated in my attempts to tellexactly where. As an adult Iam no more .successful at deter­mining the time when we shiftgears into a new season's activ-

/ ities. But at this juncture I do.know that the change has takenplace to some extent. The pop­corn maker is in use.

As much as· I look forwardto the Spring when late Winter'arrives, I look forward .to the cold .weather which signals a com­plete turnabout in my activities

WASHINGTON (NC)-George­town University and the WestGerman government are prepar­ing to begin a program whichwould bring 500 German stu­dents to this country to studyat American colleges and univer­sities.

Absolute GoodBut suppose we say: "Mary

Smith is looking after heraunt because her particularchemical constitution makes hera -masochist." This is a statementthat is ~asily made by scientistswho say that reality is entirelycomposed of purely physical ormaterial components. If MarySmith is nothing but DNA andhormones and glands, then herbehaviour is not "good." It isas neutral as the wind blowing.

How then did the human mindconceive of the,Good? It cannotbe either by chemical or socialconditioning for the Good is pre­cisely defined as being neither.The philosophical answer is ines­capable. There is a sacred Orderof ·absolute Good, however dif­ferent cultures' may define it.This "Good" transcends all mate­rial forces, however scientificallythey are analyzed. And Man'sresponse is obedience and wor­ship.

Leningrad. So, possibly, that as­pect of the' technological orderwe call the "high consumer. so­ciety" is not easily penetrated byreligious insights. The prioritywhich dictates the constructionof the supermarket as the firstpublic building in most new set­tlements is not far removed fromworshipping the Golden Calf.

No JudgmentYet we can perhaps pick out

some insights which at presentare being most clearly' articu­lated in' the Christian states ofthe Atlantic area and which re­flect not a blind submission tothe possibilities and temptationsof technology but a critical ex­amination of its part, for goodand evil, in human affairs.

The first is the realization thatscience itself, in spite of its .im­mense power to penetrate thephysical laws of nature and so toput into man's hands enormouspower to change nature to suithuman preference, gives no judg­ment on the goodness or badnessof these purposes and gives noaccount at· all of some of man­kind's profoundest needs and in­sights.

Take, for instance, the funda­mental issue of disinterested love-the ability to seek with perfectdetachment the good of anotherhuman being, even if the searchcontradicts imme'diate and ob­vious interests of one's own.Men think they know VVhat theymean when they speak of thiskind of love. It is at the core ofChristianity and of many otherworld religions.

Let us then examine it in aseries of propositions: "MarySmith has given up everythingto look after her blind and bed­ridden aunt." This could be a.definition of disinterested good­ness. But suppose we add: "Sheexpects to inherit her Aunt's for­tune." The goodness vanishes asit must in all interpretations ofhuman conduct. Marxist orFreudian or behavourist, inwhich our actions are attributedto self-interested motives, evenif they are not consciously enter­tained.

They also know that in mostso-called Christian countries, theconfrontation between tradition­al society and the technologicalorder has been going on for overtwo centuries and that Christiansought by theis time to havesomething important to tell de­veloping societies about the ;im­pact and meaning of the newways.

"You have taken your boatover the Niaga.ra of social andscientific change," they said."What you have learned aboutnavigation now that Niagara isflooding towards us too?"

In terms of our self-image'we set goals we feel we can real­ize, goals based on our system ofvalues. The Christian brings hisgrowing global insight to thistask, an insight gained . fromwalk:ng 'in the simple, ,practical'and direct footsteps of his Lead- .er. These are the things we havediscussed in this series SO far. '

Here we dwell on the fact thatone of man's basic ,needs is thatof success, the valued goal at­tailled. The bell maker's test ofhis work is whether or not hisbeD r~ngs true. Nature's test is in 'asking whether or not she hasbeen authentic unto herself.

A child is happy with the bal ..anced top spinning with a steadyhum, with the little sail boatthat sits well in the water, withthe well arranged doll house.Nature is happy when, havingspent herself st~ering, her truecourse and avoiding obstacles,she glories in her realiZation.

A man asks himself: "Was Ithe leaven in the dough, the saltof the earth, the forgivilig father,the consoleI', the healer?""Did 1 give the cup of water, theshelter?" -"Was I the peace­maker?" "Did I give and notcount the cost?"

Criterion of SuccessAll these questions, and others,

ask about personal success. Butwhat is the criterion? If we judgeby possessions, then few arethose who own yachts and man­sions and estates. If we' judge interms of what "they" say weleave ourselves open to thedoubtfully significant jU9gments

'of great masses of people. thatis why we must seek as our normnature's very purpose exempli­fied in the life of her greatestson.

Competition is a dangerousand deceptive device for it

. gauges success not, in terms oftop values but rather in termsof what others have attained. IfI ask where I' am in reference toanother I,am losing precious timeand energy needed to, clear myvision of the target and organizeand map my course.

SimplicityIf I must compete, then it

In our time, however, h~ feltthat type of spirituality was illadvised. What people seem toneed today for g~owth as per­sons, Christians, was honestpraise, affirmation, and encour­agement. They needed to experi­ence' success and achievementin order to grow in a sense ofself"esteem.

Positive AttitudeIt seems to me that contempo­

rary experience and social sCi­ence confirm his diagnosis. Thishas seriousoimplications for thereligious educator and parent.Research has shown that one ofthe major obstacles to adult reli­gious education is fear-fea~ offailure, fear of exposing one's ig­norance. Studies have alsoshown that youngster's learningis proportionate to the pQsitive,affirming, attitude of teachersand parents. .

My own experience as both astudent and a teacher suggeststhat one genuine sign of recogni- .tion, one honest word of praise,can do more to convey an aware­ness of, achievement and worththan a long lecture. I know peo­ple whose vocatio'n in life can betraced to a teacher's honest ex~

It would be fair to say that thePharisees received a "bad press"in the New Testament inasmuchas their opposition to Jesus isminutely chronicled and the useof such terms as "broods ofvipers" by John the Baptist l!nd"hypocrites" by Christ leave uswith a very negative view of thesect.

'Liberals'Fundamentally the Pharisees

were . a highly religious groupwith a real esteem for Scriptureand Revelation. Their teachingswere based on oral tradition aswell as the written law, whichin the long run gave them a flex­ibility the Essenes and· the Sad'­ducees did not possess. This re­sulted in their being the "liber­als" of their time as far asJudaism was concerned,

The Pharisees were a small but'influential group at the time ofChrist. Their name, which means"separate ones," was given tothem by their opponents becausethey avoided gentiles, sinnersand Jews who were less obser­vant of the Law' of Moses' as thePharisees interpreted it.

As a sect, they probably orig­inated with the emergence of,lay "scribes" in the time afterthe Babylonian exile and prob­ably share some common originswith the Essenes in that, bothevolved from the Hasidim or"pious ones" of the Maccabeanperiod.

Jean seemed to mean th~t.She was not just making a face­Hous remark. In spite of her ob­vious achievements, she seemedincapable of recognizing her ownevident worth. As I thought overher reaction, I could not helpbut think how typical a responseit was. Success can, be a veryelusive thing, so much so thatsuccessful people may be blindto its presence in their own lives.

Our culture seems character­ized by low personal self-esteem.lt has been called the "age ofanxiety," The popularity of small

I remember one of my profes­sors stating that in past centu­ries people needed large dosesof self-denial and humiliation.They tended to be egotistical,confident that they could do al­most anything they set theirminds to. Many were so ambi­tious and self-confident thattheir growth required disciplinedcurbing of pride and self-esteem.

to "whited sepulchres" by Christ.Among the beliefs of the Phar­

isees were the resurrection ofthe body, the existence of angelsand spirits and the expectationof a final judgment. They alsoconceived of Israel as a theoc­racy, a nation-religion, but pre­ferred submission to Rome toopen rebellion.

The sect's doctrines were gen­erally Messianic and includedAliyah, belief in the final in­gathering of the tribes of Israelat the end.

Hypocrisy

Christ was certainly not alonein being opposed by the Phar­isees. They opposed the Zealotsbecause of their professed beliefin open rebellion against Rome;they opposed the Sadducees be­cause the priestly sect rejectedthe oral tradition the Phariseesrevered and also rejected the'Pharasaic beliefs in resurrectionof the body and the existence ofangels and spirits; they opposedthe common Jews, described bythem as "rabble that knows notthe Law" because most of thecommon Jews of the time neitherknew nor cared about the nice­ties of pharasaic observance.

It was this attitude that causedthe Pharisees to be castigatedby Jesus and ultimately causedtheir name to become synon­ymous with hypocrisy and hol­low legalism.

Next week we will consider. the Sadducees, not the priestly

caste, and their influence uponPalestinian thought at the timeof the coming of Christ.

Pope Paul ReceivesBuddhist Leader

VATICAN CITY (NC) - TheDalai Lama, exiled TibetanBuddhist leader, met in audiencewith Pope Paul for 30 minutesSept. 30.

The scarlet-clad Dalai Lamaand Pope Paul exchanged wishesfor greater brotherhood in theworld and an increase of respectfor all religions.

In interpreting the law, thePharisees went beyond the writ­ten law to the "...,ayings of thefathers," a group of oral tradi­tions and interpretations thateventually evolved into the Tal­mud, the great collection of thedecisions and discussions of gen­erations of Jewish sages.

These sayings were describedas "fences built around theLaw" the scrupulous observanceof which would prevent any pos­sible transgression of the Law it­self. Rigorous observance of theSabbath, legal purity and tithingwere among the 613 prescrip­tions imposed upon' themselvesby the Pharisees in the beliefthat knowledge of the Law andobservance of the 613 prescrip­tions was a guarantee of piety.

The road keeps rising, keepsspiralling, as one approachesDelphi. This is mountain country,a throng of mountains, the lesserjostling one another and beingbullied by the greater.

Ahead now is lofty, double·peaked Parnassus, where dweltDionysus, god of wine and thelast to be admitted to Olympus.

Below Parnassus, on a heightof its own, is Delphi, once con­sidered' to be the center of the

, world. Here was the sanctuary ofApollo, the god of truth, "whoever 'brought fair order and har­mony out of confusion, whostood for moderation and sobri­ety, upon whose temple. wasgraven the great Delphic saying,'Nothing in excess.' "

The OracleExcept, that is, the effort re­

quired to ascend the steep sacre:!way, to the restored temple. Thepath is lined by greenery, thebattered bases' of vanished stat­ues, arid the ruins of varioustreasuries, each of which oncehoused the sumptuous offeringsof a community in the expandingGreek world. Thus, the treasuryof the Siphnians was opulentwith the gold mined on the islandof Sifnos. -

But what made 'Delphi "thecenter of the world" was nottemple or treasuries, not sculp-.ture or dram.a or games, but theoracle, the best known and re­spected of all.

Even in its fallen state, Delphiawes the visitor. There is, ofcourse, the setting: the precip­itous hill, the plunging ravines,the tangles of tree and thickets,the phalanx of mountains. Thereare, too, the shattered ·evidencesof the honor once done to thissanctuary in monuments whichthe builders though.t might lastforever. They did not, of course.But, most of all, there are theassociations, still palpable.

tened here seeking truth, seekingthe answers to life's riddles andgriefs. To us, many centuriesafter the coming of Christ, it allseems crude, even childish. Butit did represent a stage in spir­itual progress, as is seen whenone considers what went before.

Here, for example, no humansacrifice, as across the Mediter­ranean in North Africa. Here noworship of bird or beast, as i~

Conspiratorial SilenceHow could a journalist operate

for such a long time on lies, sell­ing them to reputable agenciesand intelligence agents?

In his article, Father Grahamblames the news agencies for"omerta," a conspiratorial silencefor their own gain.

To NC News Service the soft­spoken scholar added:

"Scattolini got his start inwartime, when confusion abound;ed. Many agencies did not careall that much what went on in

.the Vatican and left it to localjournalists who were by theirown nature extremely imagina­tive and would believe aIWthing.

"The surprising thing was todiscover Scattolini's reports inthe archives of Nazi Germany aswell as the Office of StrategicServices (now the Central Intelli­gence Agency) in Washington,D.C.

Scattolini was found guilty in1948 of "hostile acts against aforeign state" (Vatican CityState) after the Holy See finallywearied of Scattolini's inventionsfor a decade.

Father Graham concludes hisarticle by defending the Va!-._ican'spractice' of c8rrecting the'modern·day press for its inac·curacies concerning the activitiesof the Holy See.

At the sametime we must point out the sa·credness of all human life, eventhat of the guilty, and stress es­pecially the redemptive characterof the Christian revelation."

four months and 3,000 miles,eight voyagers completed a re­enactment of the historic 1673expedition of Father JacquesMarquette and Louis Joliet.

The voyagers, delayed slightlyby the same cold and windyweather that had greeted them intheir first visit to Green Bay inMay, beached their weatheredcanoes at the Brown CountyFairgrounds boat ramp on thebanks of the Fox River near DePere for the last time.

And as they have done ateach stop along the journey, thevoyagers prayed, led by' JesuitFather Charles T. McEnery, aChicago associate' pastor whoportrayed Father Marquette.

"Thank you for the friendsthat we have made," he said."We ask your blessing uponthem and, upon ourselves. Andmay the spirit of this voyagelive long and happy in the heartsof ourselves 'and those that wehave met."

Prior to their landing at theofficial welcoming site, the voy­agers paddled to the Claude Al­louez Bridg~ in De Pere where a
