Itisindeedapitythatour dailypapersdonottellusalittle moreofthegoodthatisbeing doneintheworldandlessofthe evil.Iwilltrytogiveyousome ideaoftheworkthatisbeing donebytheVatican,notonly forthepooranddistressedof Italy,butforthoseofother countries,betheyCatholicor non-Catholic.TheChurchhas usedeveryavailablesourceofincomeforthisgreatwork;shehas eppealedtoCatholicsallthe worldoverforassistance.

IstheWorkoftheSaint VincentdePaulSociety Necessary?

Thenextletterisfrom"Hobo," Bellevue:

"DearSir,-Doyouthink inthesedaysofSocialServices,thattheSt.Vincentde PaulSocietyisnecessary?"

A.:Yes!TheSocietyofSt.

VincentdePaulisverynecessary.Thevtiordingofyour questioncouldappeartoindicate thatyouhavegotaveryfalse ideaoftheworkdonebythis world-wideorganisation.You seemtoassumethat,withthe widescaleofSocialServicesnow available,reliefgivingwork, whichisacharacteristicofthis organisation,isnotanylonger necessary.

Inspiteoftheimprovedsocial legislationinrecentyears,there arestillpoorinourmidst,and supplementaryassistanceisrequiredwherepersons,throug'a lossofemploymentorill-health, alefacedwiththeproblemof providingforafamily.Itis truethatsocialbenefitsare availabletothemajorityofthe people,thosewhoworkamong thepoorwilltellyouthatthere areexceptionalcasesforwhom theregulationsdonotadequatelyprovide.Throughthegood workoftheSocietyofSt.VincentdePaul,suchcasescanand doreceivehelp,andthatunknowntothecommunity.

Allowmetodisabuseyour mindofthefalseideayouhave oftheworkoftheSociety.Reliefgivingisbutonephaseofits work.ThemembersoftheSocietyareengagedinagreat varietyofworkswherepersonal serviceisconcerned.Iwillmentionsomeofthesetogiveyouan ideaofthescopeoftheSociety's activities.Thesick,theinvalids, andtheagedarevisitedin theirhomes,hospitalsandinstitutionsandallsortsoflittledutiesareperformedforthem,The membersoftheSocietybring themcomforts,writelettersfor them,readtothem,givethem professionaladviceonvarious

matters,helpthemwithapplicationsforpensionsofonekindor another,actaswarranteesfor pensioners,bringbytheirvisits, comforttothelonely,andstrive tocheerthedepressed,augment. ingtheirmeagresupplyofclothingwhentheycan.Surelyyou donotthinkthatallthisworkof Christiancharityissupplied"or bysocialservices.

Inothercountries,antievenin otherStatesinAustralia,theSt. VincentdePaulSocietyundertakesverymuchmoreambitious works.InNewSouthWales, forinstance,theSocietyoperates Boys'HomesandHostels,enablingorphanstoentertradesand professions,andevenwherewar'antedtoattendtheUniversity. Theyrunseveralhostelsforthe `downandout"class.St.Anthony'sHomeaffordssanctuary andtemporaryhomeforthe foundling,aswellasfortheunmarriedmotherandherbaby. Thereportfortheyear1947 showsthatthishomealone,sheltered214babiesandtinychil.ren,aswellas74mothersand expectantmothers.Thatwas notabadeffortonthepartof theSt.VincentdePaulSocietyin thatoneinstitution. Iwould likealsotomentiontheworkof theSocietydonebythe"St.John ofGodTrainingScheme"for mentaldefectives,andthework oftheSocietyforSeamen,as wellasthegaolvisitingandprobationaryvilorkdonebythis splendidorganisation.

Ithinkthatitistruetosay thatthereisnoworkofcharity foreigntotheSocietyofSt.VincentdePaul.Itiswelltobear inmindthatthishelpisgiven irrespectiveofcolourorcreed, andthemembersoftheSociety areobligedbytheirrulenotto enquireintothepoliticsorfaith ofthosewhomtheyassist.There isnoneedtopointoutthatthe extentofwhichassistancecanbe givenisdependentonthefunds availabletotheSociety.

SpiritandOrganisationof GreatCharitable Organisation

Thelettercontinues:

"WheredoestheSocietyget themoneytocarryoutits variousworks?"

A.:ThemainsourceofrevenuetofinancetheSociety's workiswhatisderivedfromthe membersowncontributionstothe fundsattheweeklymeetings,and fromtheproceedsfrompoor boxeswhicharetobefoundin ourchurchesandintowhichthe Catholicsputtheirdonations. TheSocietyhasnoexpensesin onesenseoftheword.There arenopaidofficers,andallthe membersgivetheirservicestree. Thereisnofameandgloryattachedtothework,asworkdone byindividualmembersisnotpublicised,anditisnotpermittedto mentionanyofthosewhohave beenhelpedoutsidethemeeting room.

Thelettercontinues:

"IsittruethattheSociety receivesconsiderablesumsof moneyfromtheLotteriesCommission?"

A.:TheSocietyofSt.Vincent dePaulreceivesfromtheLottery Commissioneachyearthesumof £200.Theproofofthiscanbe

gotfromthe"WestAustralian," whereanymoneydistributedby theCommissionisadvertised.The Societyhasoftenexpressedits appreciationofthisassistance, butthesumrepresentsbuta smallproportionoftheamount ofmoneyspentbytheSocietyin thisStateeachyear,tosay nothingofthetimeandpersonal serviceofthemembers.That shouldanswerthequestionof "Hobo,"Bellevue,butfortheinformationoflistenersingeneral, Iwouldliketogiveashortaccountofthehistoryandhigh idealsofthiswonderfulorganisation.

TheSocietyofSt.Vincentde Paulwasfoundedbyhalfadozen youngUniversitystudentsit Parisintheyear1833,theprincipalfounderbeingFrederic Ozanam,whosubsequentlybecameaProfessorattheSorbonne University.TheSocietyvery quicklyspreadthroughoutthe wholeworld.

Theaimofthemembersis personalsanctificationandthe sanctificationofothersthrough worksofcharity.Theystrive tokeepbeforetheireyestheex-

ampleandexhortation,ofChrist whoinvitedHisfollowerstoassistthesuffering,tovisitthe sick,toconsoletheafflicted. -Whatsoeveryoudiduntothe leastoftheseyoudiduntoMe." TheSocietyisessentiallyaChristianBrotherhood,regarding themselvesascollaboratorswith andintermediariesbetweenChrist andHispoor,irrespectiveof creedor.politics. Membership oftheSocietyisrestrictedto practisingCatholics,thoughno distinctionofpersonsismadein distributingrelief.ThemembersregardthemselvesasdispensersofthegiftsofGodWho istheFatherofallmankind, makingthesuntoshineon everyclassandcreed.Thetitle ofthepoortothecommiseration ofthemembersoftheSocietyis theirpoverty.Christcameto redeemandsaveallmenwhether theywereJeworGentile,Greek orRoman,sotheSocietyofSt. VincentdePauldoesnotdis-criminatebetweenthosewhom sufferingandmiseryhavevisited.
