Are you saturated with|self love? Not soflong ago weprinted an editorial in which we said that people wereafraid to knowjor to learn the truth. Again, we quote,"The world at^large does not want truth. Only|the humble and the honest will accept Jthe truth." ",

Recently we were[presented with certain truths which

some of usfwere not able to accept. Were you troubled?Was i t notjjbecause you hadj formed a wrong conceptionof Him, a Christ you imagined tofit into your narrowness but not to shatterlyour complacency ? You were convinced you were serving God,!but were you? Were younot annoyed because all through your life you had takenthe w ay of least resistance g iving! into yo ur bodilydesires ? What other name can you give this, than that of

Roving yourself? \However, do not|be!too|disturbed over these facts. For

the first time, perhaps, in your lifeyou were introducedto Christ who had lived in you always, but up to thispoint you werefunaware of Him. Now you have knowl

edge of the true Christ; accept this.| It is not pleasant to realize that your past life could

have been better, we agree; it is difficult to change yourway of êasy living to that of -a disciplined sacrificer.Such'arlife is not necessary. However, you are convincedthat vanities don't bring satisfaction. By nothing exceptby God can you besatisfied. Suffer loss for Him now andyou will know Hispeace in this and in another world.

w cjueFashion isas fashion doesor so the saying goes!Back in the extravagant drawing-room days of the

eighteenth century, madame was weighted down with asmany skirts as her|frail constitution could support.Our twentieth century styles have changedconsiderably. And, aren't?we glad? Imagine|being jostled around

in one of our "cozy" buses jwhile wearing a hoop skirt.Our short skirts of todayare much more practical,fmorecomfortable, and even more sanitary- We wouldn't haveit otherwise. And yet, the re is one adjective! tha t isbecoming less and less applicable to our modern dresses;that is "modest."

Has that natural, inborn,\ feminine quality, modesty,been thrown to the winds? It would seem tha t such is thecase. We need only to page through the latest fashionmagazines. No doubt, most of us have read the newspaper article that appeared not so long ago, announcingone of "our famous dress designer's latest "creations" inregard to evening gowns. Considering the scant yardageof material with which she worked, the term "creation"can be used in its literalsensesomething made out ofnothing.^

These dress designers are making money for presenting such abbreviated styles for the dress manufacturers to reproduce; the latter receive as much, if notmore, money for the clothes that contain less, much less,material than before as for the dresses that have morematerial and more glamour in our estimation.

We young women of America are insulted to havethese so-called "fashions" even presented for us to readabout. We might even consider reverting to a good old-fashioned blush. If this is what fashion doeis, our conception of what fashion is has been sadly erroneous. Wedon't call it vogue!

| Liberty Street, by I. V.jjMor-r is , is a book of warning. America knows little of what isbeing done ,in her name. Laidin the exotic setting of a Caribbean town, i t is* the s tory ofpeopletheir longings, theirloves, as they patiently wait

for their visas to America.In the tropical capital ofSanta Rosa, an oddly assortedlot ' of people had gathe red.Some of them, like Marie-Teand Konrad and young Bubi,had just arrived, and found thegaudy little place, with itsair of a lost civilization, gayand diver t ing. Others , l ike Nestor Kerjanian, the frant ic l i t t leArmenian with his shabby suitand! flaming red necktie, hadbeen there, it seemed, since thebeginning of timeor, if notthere, in other places like it,where one spent endless daysand months waiting for somemiracle that would lead to the

fulfillment of cherished hopes.The destiny of nearly all

these people lay in the handsof Warfield Harrington, thesuave American diplomat oneof those men of ill will to whomwe owe so much of the chaosof our world. It was because ofhim that they waited! and sawtheir dreams fade. John Camberly alone had the understanding and the determination tooppose him; for Camberly, atrue American, saw the dangerto his country'in men like Harrington, *who believe that America should exist for the benefit of the few. Camberly haddedicated himself to a war, tothe death of these "native fascists."

Liberty Street is peopled withmemorable characters like these.It is a novel to touch the heartand the imagination. Beautifully written,ît is both timely andunusual, and is told with humorand gaiety.

el Webster, in his "Fifth Edition," is "any movement of airusual ly res t r ic ted to naturalhorizontal movements ," but Ifear that if Mr. Webster hadbeen at Mercy hurst during f awind storm, he would have

For as I foundout, they are sometimes wrong!

At ten t hirty tha t {night Iwas nestled all snug in my bedand visions of sugar plums weredancing in my head; meanwhile the fresh air blew in onewindow and the stale air hurried out the other.

For there coming in the "fresh window" were |leaves, dirt, and bits of readingmaterial, and going out the"stale window" were pictures,pennants, and other room decorations. What could be the trouble I asked myself? Not knowing the answer, I turned to myroom-mate to see if she could

were also on the market. Before long, the sale of men'sshirt 's increased, for the girlshad decided a man's shirt (fivesizes too large, -usually) wasmuch more to their liking. Consequently, there was a shortageof blue jeans, or dungarees.

- - - T wrw*m % no Justice at all. ForSt. Paul tells us that charity is the greatest and most basic ofall virtues. "And if I should distribute all my goods to feed thepoor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have notcharity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity is patient, is kind:charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up. . . .We see now through a gloss in a dark manner; but then face to

j face. Now I know in part: butI then I shall know even as I

am known. And now there remain faith, hope, and charity,these three: but the greatestof these is charity."

It is self-evident today thatthe brotherhood of men, common to all, unfortunately hasforgotten the common fatherhood of God. At the worst

phases of the war there seemedto be a slight reversion to Godto His adoration and worship.Perhaps it is harder in times ofpeace to get down on our knees,for all our moral ideals are notnearly so close to being takenaway from us. Furthermore, itis easier to suffer and even todie for a cause than to live withit, and for it and in it; it isindeed, harder to live for Christianity than to die for it! Howmany prefer not to be knownpublicly as Catholics lest theirfriends (and I use this nountoo broadly) call themor even rebuff them? Andlhow

many? are w illing to fight forChristian education? Yet, forChrist, these same people wouldbe willing to suffer persecution and even martyrdom.Why? The action is more simple; the time more brief. ForChristianity, the cause of Christ,they are indifferent.

The Communists are fewerin number than Catholics in theUnited States.*But their voicesare louder, their attempts morepersistent. If we were as^proudof our convictions indeed wecould shake the entire world.Indifference and laziness seemto be characteristic of us. Un-less we turn our hearts andminds to God openly and sincerely in the home, school, society, and church, sooner orlater we are going to be confronted with a problem greaterthan any world war.

However, we must begin withourselves individually. Our

It seemsthat Barb Fleming enjoys Nelson's singing quite wellandhis last name isn't Eddy either.What is there about Massachusetts that could be of interest to Ann Nickum?

By the way, Lillian Cunningham, where did you get thatflashy red shirt ? Speaking aboutclothes, hand-painted blousesby Nat Hirtle are becoming therage around school. Who knowsbut what she may make Mercy-hurst world famous because ofher excellent artistry!

'Tis lateso, with a welcomeback smile to Gerry Baker, I'llbe sign'ng off.

every thought, word, and action must be an example ofChristian Truth which the worldmust recognize and finally accept. As members of the mystical body of Christ we must fol

l o w His teachings under theguidance and direction of HisChurch; inspired by the love ofGod, we must cultivate this

moral excellence, this virtuethis virtue of charity, a truelove of God and our neighbor.And thus in this we show justice to God, our neighbor andto our self, and in this justiceprompted by charity lies themaster key to world peace.
