CATHOLIC BISHOPS ATTACK RHODESIAN INDEPENDENCE

THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS of Rhodesia have issued a joint pastoral letter attacking the independence movement of Prime Minister Ian Smith's white racist government and w arning that such a course can lead the nation to disaster.

MISSIONARY IS KILLED
I 1T NEEDS B TO BE READ
LONG LL NOT READ TINHAT CI N PRI IS AWIGENERAL ARTITHECPEOPLE LESNEWSPAP ER WORLD. PLE Yet sometimes it is vitally important that they do, even if it is necessary to exercise great strength of will. In this issue we have broken that general principle, as has often been done in the past, for the purpose of information.
The document on the Apostolate of the Laity is of the utmost importance. It should be read and pondered upon by every Catholic adolescent and adult. It does not only concern those who in the past have been, as the term goes, "mixed up in Catholic Action." It is the concern of every baptised person. The general norms laid down in the document give the guidelines for activity in this ever-changing world. Some will say that this is "old hat," "all this I have done from my youth." Yet there will be found in this document an emphasis that fights against a complacency of being satisfied with what was acceptable activity in the past. IT'S THEME COULD BE: GET UP AND GO! BUT THE BASIC NEED IS TO READ THIS DOCUMENT.
Irresponsibility problem of irresponsibility has been THEhighlighted by reports of responsible people, educators, during the week.
They have seen the problem and have had the courage to say something about it to those who have the power of remedy. If irresponsibility is obvious in a proportion of adolescents, it points to a large degree of parental selfishness in our society. Where does the irresponsibility stem from? The answer must seem to be in the home and a definite lack in the mandate given to educators to enable them to supply the remedy if the parents fall short . In general, it stems not so much from a complete lack of belief in any .set of moral principles but rather from some sort of vague, half-formed twilight of belief which is seldom if ever related to action. This malady affects a fair portion of the 2ommunity. Catholics among them. The problem is not necessarily a widespread one yet. It is becoming obvious because it is spreading. Adolescents need to be made aware of the need for this responsibility and to rightly adjust themselves with parental and scholastic assistance to the economic and social pressures of modern life. This cannot be done by being part of the spiritual void of the community. Whereas the school is concerned principally in education, this does not mean only the imparting of knowledge of technical skills but the formation and development of per.zonality. This mandate must orginally come from the parents, whose prime responsibility is just such formation in their offspring.

NO PRESSURE FOR STANDARD UNIFORMS
In the most recent newsletter of the Parents and Friends' Federation of W.A., a ssociation members were advised that in the light of information received, it had been decided that no good purpose would be served by pressing for the standardisation of school uniforms in Catholic schools at this stage. At its annual general meeting earlier this year, the Federation decided to investigate the possibility of such a move.

[—Bishop Fulton f. Sheen Discusses HE GOOD SAMARITAN has stood for centuries as the Supreme example of one who had compassion on his fellow man. The word itself means "to suffer with" the afflicted, the poor, the hungry and the thirsty.
Understanding Others
The new compassion that has crept into our courts and into our literature and drama is the compassion for the breakers of the law, for the thieves, the dope fiends, the murderers, the rapists. This false compassion for the criminal and readiness to blame the law and the police, has passed from the 'sob-sisters" to black-robed justices Nilo, fearful of restraining liberty turn?d into license, pardon the mugger and ignore the mugged. This miscarriage of justice is found ilso in the inability of the prosperous .o understand the unforunate. The woes of widows, mothers with delinquent children, and cancer patients, are often beyond the comprehension of would-be .;ympathisers. They think that they have sounded all depths and, therefore, are in a position to judge the merits of the one who is in agony.
They have merely skimmed the surface. They. do not know what others suffer; n ither do they understand God's plan in elationship to them. Looking from sunny homes on the dark abodes of miser+, they cannot understand the sorrows they have never tasted. Always having had their wants satisfied, they do not know the meaning of hunger and thirst.
IT is part of our fallen nature to despise the trouble we do not understand. Not having the power to dive into the mystery, it seems to us a shallow thing. When the sufferers complain much, we are inclined to think that they are exaggerating or giving way to cowardly weakness, just as the rich are too often ready to regard the very poor as whin--

ing imposters. He who has never felt the pangs of conscience, looks with contempt upon the penitent's tears. The Pharisees were unmerciful to sinners, but a great sinner like Augustine could understand them well. When one is looking for counsel, it is always well to seek out those who themselves have suffered. There is much more wisdom resulting from patient bearing of suffering, than there is from books. No sinner is ever consoled by having a moral theology flung at his head. Perhaps the reason why Peter and not John was chosen as the Head of the Church was because he fell and, therefore, understood human weakness. Suffering may be sent to us because we have been too narrow and selfish in our view of it, and also to prepare us for our work in helping others in

trouble. The widow can sympathise with the widow, the poor show most kindness to the poor. The experience of the prostration of a great illness enables a person to understand and help sick people. Sorrow can thus become a talent to be used for the good of others by being invested in sympathy.
THE principal reason why Christ suffered was to make Him not only our Saviour, but also our Sorrows. "He was a Man of Sorrow and acquainted with grief." Hence the sufferer who is despised by his prosperous brethren can turn with assurance of sympathy to the sympathy of the Saviour of men. Our Lord learned compassion by what He suffered and thereby converted the

C * By EDITH McNAMARA THINGS do not become better by being left alone. A garden does not become a better garden by allowing nature to take its course; one must pick out the weeds, and encourage the garden to grow. The garden in this instance is the Catholic Women's League, and encouraging it to grow is Mrs. Edna French, of Ninth Avenue. Inglewood. Mrs. French is a convert to Catholicism, and has four children. She was born at Northam, and spent her schooldays there. Later she met and married Mr. Arthur French, a farmer of French's Siding, near Northam. The Catholic Women's League means a grea tdeal to Mrs. French, and she firmly believes it plays an important part in the life of a Catholic woman. "I feel," she said, "that the Catholic Women's League could give more help among different organisations in order that the work of the League should become better known." Mrs. French is one of the two representatives of the League on the Civil Rehabilitation Council. This organisation was formed by a group of business men two years ago. One of the main functions is to help the wives and children of the men who aro

The council first helps with the clothing. furniture. food parcels and gifts at Christmas t ime, as well as advice to families. "People are marvellous." said Mrs. French. "About a month ago we lodged an appeal in a daily paper for donations of clothing, and within a few hours 11 cartons were left on t he doorstep, all from local people." Mrs. French is interested in the welfare of the children from the orphanages, such as the boy from Binthxm who came for a holiday for six weeks—and stayed for seven years. He is now married and lives in Adelaide. Teaching sewing to the fourth grade pupils at St. Peter's Convent, Inglewood, is one of her lighter tasks which she really enjoys. Mrs. French also belongs to an arts and crafts group which meets once a fortnight. All these interests, coupled with the different interests of her family, make her world a very busy place indeed.

IT WAS St. Francis, the Lark of Assisi, who instituted what has become known as the Christmas carol. Since that time poets and musicians of every land have added to the great libretto of Christmas with the result that there is a carol for every mood and every facet of Christmas, each silhouetted against national backgrounds and customs, personalities and climates. Unfortunately, radio disc-jockeys and TV orchestra leaders continue to play the same carols over and over year a fter year, until many of them are becoming musical ly stereotoyped and are in danger of losing their meaning.

For we have seen His star in the east and and have come to worship Him . . .' And when they saw the Child they fell down and worshipped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered Him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh." That visit has become so well known that today even the smallest child can identify the Magi. The men are no fragment of folklore, but Gospel tact. Yet the fringe data encircling their unique visit is a patchwork of guessing, legend and tradition. Our natural reaction is to wonder about these men. Who were they. really? From where did they come? What became of them after the great incident?

Recently, many people have tired of travelling to outer suburbs, leading to a trend in remodelling old houses nearer the city proper.

Christmas And The Homemaker
CHRISTMAS IS HERE AGAIN.
Beautiful Home— Sheerline. Joinery
Time once again to celebrate the birth of our Savious Jesus Christ . . . and time to remind ourselves that the spirit of Christmas is one we might well endeavour to celebrate right throughout the year. For Christmas is generally a season of goodwill, a season when most of us express good wishes to all around us. Why should not this goodwill, this expression of kindness, continue throughout the year? Over the past months "The Record" has devoted considerable space, in these pages, to the making of better homes. Let us bear in mind that besides a fine building, besides comfortable furniture, besides modern decorative treatment, there is another essential to the making of a better home. That essential is the spirit guiding all our work, all our purchases, all our ideas! Charles Parkhurst once said that Home interprets Heaven. In those three words there is a great deal of t ruth. On the other hand, George Bernard Shaw, who only too often wrote with his tongue in his cheek, penned these words: "Home is the woman's workhouse." We must admit that on that particular occasion Shaw may have voiced a deal of truth, for in days gone by the home did provide a great deal of work for the housewife—much of which, fortunately, has today been done away with. The home-maker today has at her fingertips a wide variety of aids to easier living, a wide variety of aids which cut down work to a remarkable degree, giving the housewife more time for other activities. These other activities, throughout the year,. might well—at least to some extent—be activities on behalf of those not so fortunate as ourselves, the sightless, the aged, the sick, the friendless. Don't wait for the New Year to make your resolutions—make a resolution today that you will carry the Christmas Spirit with you, in your home and in your daily life, right throughout the year.

During the whole proceedings no human figures appear, although their voices are f requently heard. The script is by Allan Aldous, a free-lance writer, playwright and broadcaster, who was born and brought up in Western Australia. There are, of course. considerable risks in such a major enterprise, the production costs of which will be at least £10,000 and which has only been made possible by the generous co-operatoin of the Fremantle City Council and the and Industries Rural Bank of Western Australia. However, the climate in this State during February is fairly reliable, and over many years the Festival has relied heavily on outdoor presentations in Perth's balnr• summer evenings. Attendances of in the region of 5,000 each night are hoped for by the organisers who, however, have no previous experience to draw upon.

"IN view of the liberty of conscience and also of the values that the great world religions may contain, how should we understand the missionary duty of the Church that is so clearly affirmed by the Council. ..If God is love, He is the desire of free and total. communion. He is likewise impatient, for impatience is a part of the nature of love. Love is earnest, it contains a desire of communion that is as immediate as possible . . . God is infinitely impatient to communicate Himself . . . The Church participates in that impatience of God in His love. It does not follow that we must act without preparation or brusquely. What is necessary is that we continually knock at the door, and knock again with all possible respect. It Is Christ Who has taught us to participate in this impatience of God; in the Our Father He taught us to pray, 'Thy kingdom come.' It is there that we find the profound reason for our missionary duty."—Cardinal Suenens.

ARE the faithful beginning to be "like everyone else?" Would anyone who met us from Monday to Saturday know that we are what Scripture calls a "separated people?" Is the parish a ghetto where we meet on Sunday to fulfil a law rather than a power station where we recharge our batteries so as to be able to live out 'Christ during the week? Are we priests and faithful what William Whyte has named the "organisation man" — encased in moulds and patterns and totally oblivious of the hungry, disillusioned world outside this continent? ECUMENISM is based on a "spirit of charity" to those who hold common truths and loves with us. This is the mood of the hour. But ecLImeninn must be balanced by the "spirit of Christ" which is separation from the "spirit of the world." This means that we hold ourselves responsible for the sins, the unbelief, the poverty of the world.

When Our Lord appeared. John the Baptist did not say: "Behold the Lamb of God, Who taketh away the sins of Israel" but "the sins of the world." The world! We prove our Christian involvement with the world by an act as simple as the compassion with which we regard statistics, "Thirty-one missionaries were thrown to the crocodiles in the Congo;" or by our outlook on the question of fasting. How many Catholics in this country are getting away from it on the grounds that "it is no longer suited to modern living?" And yet, 'Scripture tells us over and over that when troubles multiplied the people of God resorted to fasting. Look at philanthropy. We are the most generous people on earth and one of the richest, yet the rich generally give only to the rich, not to the poor. It is usually the poor who give to the poor. Giving to the rich, enabling institutions and societies to pile up investments only hastens the day of judgment—"Woe to you rich." It is only charity to the poor, the starving, the orphans, the homeless, that Christ acknowledges as given to Him.

AS A PERSON. If his parents (or parent) cannot secure enough food, or food of the right kind, his body will suffer from malnutrition, his growth may be stunted and he will be susceptible to diverse diseases. If he has life he has the basic human right to a healthy life. If sickness or injury were to threaten his physical well-being he would have consequently the right to ordinary medical and hospital care. His parents (or parent) would have the responsibility of securing that aid for him if they can.

CHILDREN
BUT the fact of the matter is that millions of children at home and abroad are not getting sufficient food to allow for their maximum physical development. If something is not done soon to forestall it, there threatens a famine of catastrophic proportions in many underdeveloped nations. It will not then be a matter of people going to bed hungry. It will be a matter of slow death by starvation for countless numbers of human beings. To speak of a child's right to the proper love environment required for his emotional and spiritual development seems like a needless re-emphasis of a well-known fact. But it is also true that millions of American children are living in one-parent families.

1( DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS I hope you enjoy reading this special Christmas edition of "The R ecord." There are some very interesting little stories in it and you w il l be sure to benefit greatly when y ou read them. Most of you will have finished y our exams by now and are probably on holidays. Let's hope you all pass into the next grade. W ith the worry of the exams behind you, you should now be preparing yourselves for the great feast of Christmas. Be sure to receive Holy Communion that day and offer it up f or some special intention, whether it be a private one, for your family, p eace in the world or even that those decrees of the Vatican Council will be put into full effect. Between now and Christmas make sure you help Mum get things ready. Don't forget she has more to do a round the home at this time. See that she enjoys her Christmas too.
