MothersLearnofFoundingFathers

ItwasMothers'Nightat I Fathers'Club.

No,that'snotamisprint ThereisaFathers' clubatSt.FrancisdeSales parishinWashington,D.C., andthemotherswereguests atthefinalmonthlymeetingoftheschoolyear;welcomeandhonouredguests, butdefinitelyguests,not members.

Naturally,themothers came,theircuriosityabout theclubaroused.Justwhat, theywondered,hadthe boysbeenupto?They knew,ofcourse,howithad started:

Whentheschoolwasestablished,inlate1947,a P.T.A.wasconsidered.

"P.T.A.salwaysstartout with100percentmembership,"oneofthemothers complained,"butalmostimmediatelythefathersdrop outanditbecomesjusta mothers'club."

"Well,how'saboutstartingwiththemissingelement?"oneofthefathers suggested."We'llforma Fathers'club,andwhenwe haveitgoingwe'llmakeit co-ed."

Fine,themothersagreed. Afterall,theywhisperedto oneanother,itwasabout timefathersrealisedthat mothersaren'ttheonlyones concernedinparent-school relationships.

Andsothefatherstook over.Now,atthecloseof itsfirstyear,morethanhalf ofthefathersofSt.Francisaremembers-active,interestedmembersofavigorousorganisation.The motherslistenedcarefully asthepresidentgavearesumeoftheyear'sactivity:

"Transportationandeducationaltours,"heannouncedsimply.

Sothataccountedforthe charteredbusesandthe ridesofteachersandpupils totheF.B.I.,toGettysburg, andotherplaces;andfor theawakenedinterestin historyandcivics-andfor thegrowingfriendliness withtheteachers!

Atthispointamother aroseandaskedaquestion.

"Howdidyouknowthat thoselistswereinadequate? Wealwaystookthemfor granted."

ThePresidentsmiled.

"FredEaton'lltellyouabout that."

Mr.Eaton,shyandthirtyish,arose."Well,"hesaid, "Mykidsspentalltheir timereadingcomicsandI asked'emwhy.Asked'em whytheydidn'treadbooks theteachersrecommended. AndFreddie-he'sthe oldest-said,`Aw,gee,those booksputmetosleep.'SoI gotsomeofthebooksfrom thelibraryandtriedtoread 'emmyself,andIsawwhat

Thenfollowedapanel discussionofsummeractivities-practicalsuggestions applicabletothechildrenof St.Francis.Thefirstfather discussedhobbiesand chores;whatchoresshould beexpectedandthetypeof hobbiestobeencouraged.

BillAimedtoSeculariseMarriage (N.C.W.C.NewsService).

CAIRO,Egypt,June.-TheCatholic ChurchinEgyptwilluseeverylegitimate meanstopreventpassageofaBillwhich wouldtakemanymarriagecasesfromecclesiasticalcourtsandplacethemunder civiljurisdiction.

Catholicoppositiontothe Billwasexpressedatafull meetingoftheCatholic Consultativecommitteeheld hereunder\thechairmanshipofPatriarchsMaximos IV.Saign,ofAntioch,ofthe Melchites,andMarkII. Khouzam,ofAlexandria,of theCopts.TheBishopsand prominentlaymenofthe sevendifferentCatholic ritesattendedthemeeting. Itwasheldintheofficesof PatriarchSaigh.

TheBillunderdisputeis nowbeingconsideredby theEgyptianHouseofDeputies.Itiscalledthe PersonalStatusBill.

Acommuniqueissuedby theCatholiccommitteestatedthattransferofmarirage casesfromecclesiasticalto civilcourtsiscontraryto Catholicbelief,whichregardsmarriageasaSacramentandnotjustacivil contract.Asaconsequence, allmatterspertainingtothe Sacrament,suchasitsvalidity,adeclarationofnullity,separationofbedand board,belongsolelytothe ecclesiasticalcourts,the communiquesaid.

TheChurchmakesno claimtojudgethemerely civilandfinancialconsequencesofChristianmarriage,whicharelefttothe civilauthorities,theCatholicstatementcontinued,nor doestheChurchclaimcompetenceincasesissuing fromapurelycivilmatrimonialcontract.

ThetransferoflegalcomintheBillsapplie onlytoforeigners.However theCatholicspokesman statedthattheycannotacceptthisbecauseallCatholics,whetherEgyptiannationalsornot,comeunder CanonLawasfarasmarriageisconcerned.

Farouk,PremierMustapha NahasPasha,andother leadingEgyptianofficials. Tensofthousandsofthe Catholiclaitythroughout Egypthavesignedawritten protesttobepresentedto theEgyptianauthorities, statingthatCatholicscannotsubmittoalaw,which wouldsogrievouslyoffend theirconscience.

TheinterventionofmemberstatesoftheArabLeaguewiththeEgyptiangovernmenthasalsobeenrequested,sincepersonsaffectedbytheBillwouldbe mainlycitizensofthese stateswhichcontinuetoaccord"perosnalstatus"treatmenttoEgyptiansubjects residingintheirterritory.

Itisgenerallyfeltthat theproposedlawisthefirst steptowardtotalsuppressionofalljurisdictionofreligiouscourts.InMoslem countriesthesecourtshave for12centuriesenjoyedfull competenceinjudgingthe communities,regardlessof membersoftheirrespective nationality,inmattersper- tainingtomarriageandits consequences.Thisjuris- dictionhasbeenrecognised notonlybylocallegislation butalsobyinternational treaties.

SwedenWillLiftAnti-Catholic ResiridionsinNewFreedomLaw

(N.C.W.C.NewsService).

STOCKHOLM,Sweden,May31.-Seriousdisabilitieswhichhavehamperedthe CatholicChurchinSwedenforcenturieswill bedroppedonJanuary1,1952,astheresult ofanewlawonreligiousfreedompassed here.

Th'enewlawstrikesout manyrestraintsforcedon allnon-Lutheranchurches sincethesixteenthcentury, whentheLutherancreed becamecompulsoryforall citizens.Duringthecourse ofyearssincethenmany modificationswereintroduced.Thelatestprevious generallawonreligion datesbackto1873.

Thenewlayincludesthe followingfavourablechangesfortheChurch:

Marriagescontractedbeforetherepresentativesof anyChurchwillnowhave legalvalidity.Religious ordersofmenandwomen willbepermittedtoestablishconventsinthecountry,thuspromisinganew influxofmissionaries.

Citizenswhoaskexemptionwillnownolongerbe inscribedintheparishregistersoftheStateChurch. Theywillalsoautomatically befreedfrompayingspecialtaxescollectedforthe benefitoftheLutheran Church.

Theinitiativeforthenew lawdatesbackto1943, whenthegovernmentcreatedacommissiontostudy thegrantingofgreaterreligiousfreedomtonon-Lutherans.AtthattimeBishop JohannesE.Mueller,rVice ApostolicofSweden,was askedtosubmittheCatholicdesiresonthematter.

Anti-Catholicprejudices inSwedenhavedecreased considerablyoverthepast decades.Anessentialfactorinthisdevelopmentwas theextensiveVaticanrelief workduringandafterthe

FatherCullenLaunchesthePioneer LeagueUnderAuspicesofS.Heart

OnRosarySunday,1874, afterthecelebrationof Massin chapelthelittlecountry ofGlynnFather Cullenformedtheopinion thatwithoutFatherMatthew'sexampleofabsolute totalabstinence,bywayof exampleandsacrificefor others,thelargersuccesshe hopedforcouldnotbeattained.

hadAlthoughpreviouslyhe takenbutlittlestimulantsofanykind,heresolved,forthesakeofgood example,togiveupeven thatlittle.Fromthatmorningheneverwaveredinhis allegiancetothecause,and thoughlossofhealth,death itself,andapremature graveasaconsequenceof coldwaterdrinkingwere ominouslypredictedby crowdsoffriends,Father Cullenlivedontothegood ageofeighty.

TheresultofFatherCullen'seffortswasnotcommensuratewiththelabour expended-onthewholeit wasunsatisfactoryanddisappointing.Someother planofcampaignshouldbe tried.Thecustomofreceivingthepledgeindiscriminatelyfromgreatmasses ofpeoplewouldhavetobe discontinuedifanypermanentgoodweretobeaccomplished.

Henceforth,FatherCullenwouldadministerthe pledgeonlytothose,who, oncalmreflection,were preparedtomakethelife sacrificetototalabstinence andsubmittheirnamesand addresses.Aswastobe expected,thisviewmet withoppositiononallsides. Theprocedurewasaninnovation,thelifeengagementwastoodrastic,the trialwasdoomedtofailure, foritwasbelievedthatthe crowds,shrinkingfromthe "hardword,"would abandonfinallyandforever theTemperanceMovement.

However,FatherCullen notyield.Thewisdomofhis newpolicywasborneoutat thecloseofaMissionin St.Peter'sChurch,Belfast, whenaboutthreehundred adults,theverycreamof thecongregation,cameup tothealtarrailsandsubscribedtheirnamestothe newTemperanceventure. Thuswasstartedthe PioneerTotalAbstinence Associationasweknowit to-day.

Toworkouthisideaof TotalAbstinence,Father

Culleninvitedfourladies tomeethiminthePresbytery,GardinerStreet, Dublin,onthe28thDecember,1898.'Theseladies werealreadyveteranand uncompromisingabstainers.

Mrs.A.M.Sullivanwasthe leaderofthetinyband.The otherswere:Mrs.Bury, Mrs.EganandMissPower.

Atthelittleroundtable conference,FatherCullen toldofhis pointmentspreviousdasapandunfolded thenewprojectandhis hopesforitssuccess.Was itonlytobeanotherdream tobefollowedbyanother disillusionment?Godalone knewthis,buttheyall hopedforthecontrary.

FormanyyearsFather Cullenhadendeavouredto begintemperanceworkat thefoot-rungoftheladder, byadministeringthepledge toallwhosoughtit,and withresultswhich,though moderatelysuccessful,were bynomeanswhathehad anticipated.Henceforth,he wouldbeginatthetoprung oftheladderbyadministeringthepledgeonlyto thoseonwhoseprobityand powersofperseverancehe couldthoroughlyrely.Only thosecouldbememberswho hadnevertakenalcoholic drinkatallorwhohad takenitinstrictmoderation, orwho,bylongprobation, hadprovedtheirstabilityin thepracticeoftotalabstinence.Thenameofthenew Associationwouldbethe "PioneerTotalAbstinence LeagueoftheSacred Heart."

Tocounteractthetyranny ofhumanrespect,tobring membersoutintotheopen, tomakethemknowone anotherwhenevertheymet, toinspirethecourageand thecomradeshipwhich springsfromthesympathy ofmembers,FatherCullen
