ThesubjectgaveopportunityfordevelopmentoftherelationbetweenCatholicethicsandCatholicmissionary actiod,andthecolonisingactivitiesof modernnations.

Mr.EugeneDuthont,Presidentofthe SocialWeek,inhisopeningdiscourse, setforththebroadlinesofthequestion.Onehalfofthelandareaof theglobeandtwo-fifthsofhumanity liveunderthecolonialregime.Naturallytheresponsibilitiesofthecolonisingpeoplesaregrave,henoted,since everyenterpriseimpliesthecontactof twocivilisationsandcreatesasocial crisiswhichtouchestheverylifeofthe people,thenativefamily,property,the principleofauthority.Withtheintroductionofindustrialism,therearises thequestionoftheworkerandthen comespropagandaofsubversive.ideas. Finally,withthefalloftraditional paganbeliefsbeforethedevastating breathofcivilisationtherearisesthe religiouscrisis.

Whenaterritoryanditsrichescannotbeturnedtoprofitbyitsowninhabitants,saidMr.Duthont,foreigninterventionislegitimateinorderthat thatwhichProvidencehasintended fortheuseofallmenmaybemade fruitful,butthebenefitsofthisundertakingshouldnotbesolelyforthe stranger;firstprofitshouldgotothe colonyitselfanditsinhabitants,and beyondtheso-calledmothercountry lettherebebenefitslikewisetotherest oftheworld,thusavoidingacertain formofegoismwhichwouldlimitthe goodobtainedtotwopartiesalone.

TheChurchhasimportanttitlestoa righttoheinterrogatedonthesocial problem.inthecolonies.First,there ishertranscendentfacultyofadapting herselftothemostdiversepossible statesofcivilisation.Themessageof Christisdirectedtoallmenregardless ofraceornation;theChurchnever attemptstodenationaliseanypeople.

Rev.L.W.Geddes,S.J.,D.D,ProfessorofApologeticsatHeythropCollege,lecturingon"God,theFulnessof Being,SpiritualandPersonal"showed thatfromRevelationwederiveda muchricherandfullerknowledgeof !GAasapersonalbeingthancouldbe hitsinedfromunaidedreason.This fiastrueevenofthepre-Christianrevelation,butincomparablymoretrue oftheChristian.Inparticular,the economyoftheRedemption,andthe mysteriesofdivineadoptionandsupernaturallife,revealedGodaspersonal inHimselfandpersonalinHisdealings withman.

Lastly,itwasfromRevelationalone thatwelearntthat,thoughinGod thereisonlyasingleessenceanda singleconsciousness,thereisnotone Person.butthreePersons.

DomEdmundKendal,O.S.B.,DownsideAbbey,gavetwolectures.In thefirsthespokeofGod'sKnowledge andLove.endeavouringtosetforth whatReasonandRevelationhaveto tellusaboutthem,whileexcluding pointsofdomesticcontroversyamong Catholics.

Inhissecondlecture,FatherKendalconsideredtheproblemofevil, showingthatmoralevilwasincidental toagreatandbeneficentplan,thegift offreewill.wherebymanwastogive toGodafreeandspontaneousservice andtodevelophisnoblesttraitsbyfacingrisks.Godcouldhavecreated maninHeaven,orhavesecuredthat intheexerciseoffreewillallshould succeed.Butwherewouldhethe trial,orthecallingforthofcourage andself-sacrifice?Further.ifitbe arguedthatmanyweregivenno chancetoavoidevil,itmustbenoted thatthegreatertheignoranceofmind andweaknessofwill.thelessthe moralguilt.

Physicalevilwasanincomparably lesserevil,andthereforealesserdifficulty.Godhadmadepainmeanstowardshapinesseternal,andthesaints hadwelcomeditassuch.Inanimals painwasverymuchless,owingtothe absenceofintellect.

Lecturingon"GodDistinctfromthe Universe."T),,niRaphaelWilliams. 0 i,1AmpleforthAbbey,showed thatPantheistswerenotatheists,that therewasagooddealincommonbe. tavern(:atholicsandthem,andthat CatholicPhilosophyembracedallthat w;--ismostattractiveandvaluablein Pantheism--especiallyHegelianPantheism,which,likeCatholicPhilosophy, tookit,standonthecompletelyrationalcharacterofallreality.Hegel hopedtodemonstratenotonlythe omnectionofalllogicalideaswithone anotherbutalsotherealexistenceof theuniverseasanelementintheAbsoluteBeingwhichisGod.

CatholicPhilosophyrecognisedthat theinwardideaofallthingsmustflow fromthesupremelogicortruthwhich J.,'God,thattheconceptualorder coniestoaninseparableunityinGod; butheldthatthehumanmindcannot pcnetratetoarealvisionandintuition ofthisuniteMoreover,itheldthat theactualexistencecametoallfinite. thingsnotfromanynecessityofabsolutelogic,IanfromthefreeWillof God.

"TheDivinePresence'inMan"was thesubjectofalecturebytheRev. FultonJ.Sheen,D.D.,whoexamined theteachingsofDeismandPantheism, andshowedthatbothwerewrong.

Thegoldenmeanbetweenthesewas thetraditionaldoctrineoftheImmanenceofGod,whichmeantthatGod waspresenttoCreationinvirtueofHis Causality,thoughdistinctfromitby

Rev.FatherHughPope,OP.,S.T.M., D.S.S.,dealingwith"GodtheEnd ofMan:theVisionofGod,"showed thatRevelationdeclaresthattheBlessedshallseeGod.SinceTruthisone, norevealedtruthcouldbeinconflict withhumanreason.Further,since thisparticulartruthwasconcerned withintellectualvisionorknowledge, itcouldnotconflictwithanysound analysisoftheprocessesofhuman understanding.

ABishopandHisBible

For"The.Record,"byJ.

TheAnglicanBishopofLondon,Dr. A.F.WinningtonIngram,haslately tolduswhyhereadstheBible.This isacourtesy,forwhichIhope,we aredulythankfultohisLordship,but hisreasonsarenotveryconvincing ones,hencethesefewcomments.

Inthefirstplace,theBishopsays: '"TheBiblefindstheconscience."Does hemean,Iwonder,thattheBibleconvincesamanofsin?Deeshemean, thatconstantreadingoftheBiblewill contributetothatdelicacyofconscience,whichneverallowsthefirstblush tobeblownofthatabidingsenseof sin,whichismostnecessarytothe characterofanearnestChristian?

IftheBishopmeansthat,thenI'm afraidtheBibleisnotreadbymostof theAnglicanBishops,otherwisethey wouldnothaveapprovedBirthControl,attherecentLambethConference,andwouldnotallowsuicidetobe preachedfromthepulpitofSt.Paul's, ortheblasphemiesofBishopBarnes tocontinue.

Aftertheusualplatitudesaboutthe superbliteratureoftheBible,andthe usualvagueremarksabouta"philoa ophyoflife,"and"solvingproblems," theBishopsays,"ItisbecauseIprefer JesusChrist'sanswerstotheproblem andriddlesthatconfronthumanity tomyownorthatofanymortalthat IreadtheBible."

Now.Iwonder,whatproblemdoes theBishopthinktheBibleanswered forhimandtheotherBishopsatthe LambethConference?

The"DailyGuardian"certainlyhad abetteranswerthantheanswerthey gavetothe"problems,"iftheyare problems,thattheBishopstalked about.Itisallnonsensetobetalking aboutproblemsandjugglingwiththe morallaw.TheTenCommandments areintheBible,andallthegushin theworldcannotcondonetheleast o(anpromiseinregardtotheirobservance.Suicideandbirthcontrol,and divorce,arenotproblems, are downrightdevilishthingsplainlyforbiddenintheBible,andnopretence ofre-affirmingChristiantruthinthe lightofnewtruthdiscoveredbysciencecanmakeanyadequateexcuse forthem.Thesethingsareproblems, ifanyoneistryingtofindaway round-todothesethingsandremain guiltless--butitcannotbedone,and itisablasphemyforaBishop,asitis fora"Bottle0,"tomumblepious talkaboutsettlingproblemsinChrist's way,andholdingsuchviewsasthose dowhopretendanexcuseforbirth control(whichisnotcontrol)forsuicide,orfordivorce,whichGodhasforbiddenwithoutanymannerofcomprehensivenessthatcouldmakeHislaw "Itisanditisnot."Dr.Ingram .goesontosay:"Mylastandbiggest reasonforreadingtheBible.ItisbecausetheBibleisproofthatGodwantedustoknowHim.Anditisonly throughtheBiblethatyoucanhave anunderstanding,howeverfaintthat understandingmaybe,ofGod."

TheBishopmusthavebeenina hurrywhenhe.wrotethat.ItiscertainlyacuriosityasregardsitsEnglish.But,thinkofthat,fromaman whoknowsthattheBibleasacompositebookdidnotexistuntil300 yearsafterOurLord'sAscension.

ThethousandsofChinesestudents whoremaininPepingtheyeararound areclaimingthatanewstudentrevolutionhasbeenstartedbyDr.HuShih, theChinesephilosopher,whoisequally well-knowninChinaandabroad A speechwhichDr.Humadeatthe NationalUniversityhashadtremendousrepercussionsamongthestudents, whoareinspiredtobeginanewcampaignagainstmilitarydominationof China.

TheauditoriuminwhichDr.Huspoke holdsanabsolutemaximumof3,000 persons.Fourhoursbeforehislecture wasscheduled,thebuildingwasoccupiedtocapacity.Thestudentsshowedgreatexcitementandenthusiasm.

ItissignificantthatonlyoneChinese newspaper(inTientsin,notPeping) daredtoprintasynopsisofthelecture.AfulltranslationoftheaddresswasgiventotheUnitedPress throughthecourtesyofaChinese newspaperman.

"Thepastfewyearshavebeenfull oftragedyinChina"saidDr.Hu. "Butoneofthemosttragicofsituations,inmyopinion,hasbeenthespectacleofstudents,intheNorthandthe Southalike,postingandshoutingslogansinsupportofChinesemilitarists, themenwhoareslowlybringingtheir countrytoruin."

Itisparticularlytragictowatch studentsbeingmisledbyonemilitarist oranother,saidthephilosopher,becauseitisclearthatChina'ssalvation liesineducationoftheyoungergeneration.andwhenstudentswastetheir timesupportinghopelessmovements, theyareneglectingpreparationforlater leadership.

"Butwhatkindofeducationcansave China?Inmyopinion,onlyhigher education,whichiscomparativelynew inthiscountry.Chinaalwaysboasts ofits5,000yearsofcivilisation.butinstitutionsofhigherlearningherego backonly50years.ThisNational Universityisonly31yearsold.

"ButlookatEurope.Asfarback asthe14th.century,Europehad44 universities.Indeed,therearemany universitiesinEuropeto-daywitha continuousexistenceofeightortencenturies.Europeisthereforecenturies aheadofChinainhighereducation."
