ThePolishBishops'statementcallingforabanon atomicwarfareisinterpretedhereasamovebythe Bishopstosetforththe truepositionoftheChurch inthefaceofslanderous communistpropaganda.
Thestatementwasissued onbehalfofthePolish HierarchybyBishopZygmuntChoromanski,theHierarchy'ssecretary.Ithas beenwidelypublicizedby thePolishpressandradio.
RecallingtheEastermessageofHisHolinessPope PiusXIIaskingforaneffectivebanonatomicweapons,thestatementurges theworld-wideunconditionalprohibitionofatomic weapons.Italsoexpresses alarmatthepossibledanger posedforPolandbya rearmedGermany.

Duringrecentyears,inFrance,theeditorsof"La VieSpirituelle"haveorganisedconferences,heldannually,todiscussproblems presentedtowomeninreligiouslifebypresent-day circumstances.
Thethemeofthe1950 Conferencewas"Obedience andtheModernNun"and itisofinteresttonotethat, forthefirsttime,nuns themselvesaswellas priestscontributedtothe workoftheconferenceand readpapersfordiscussion.
Thesubjectmatterofthe conferencepublishedoriginallyinFrench,wastranslatedintoEnglishandpublishedlastyear,underthe title"Obedience".

Muchhasbeensaidand written,ofrecentyears, aboutthisdesirable,even necessary"adaptationtocontemporarycircumstances," notonlyinregardtoreligiousobedience,butalsoin regardtothewholeofreligiouslife,mostimportant ofallbeingpronouncements byPopePiusXhimself,as, forinstance,theApostolic Constitution"Sponsa Christi."
"Inviewofthethreat ofatomicwar,theepiscopate,representingtheCatholicChurchinPoland,considersititsdutytodeclare thattheattitudeofthe Churchandofthewhole nationisunanimousinthat weaponsofmassdestruction shouldbeunconditionally prohibitedbyinternational law,justastheyareprohibitedbymorallaw.

WhentheBishopsrefused tojoinintheresolutionof the"patrioticpriests,"the vastcommunistpropaganda set-upbeganaccusingthe Bishopsofwantingthedevastationofmankind throughatomicandhydrogenwar.

R.:ThelastGospel,usuallyreadattheendofMass, comprises14ofthe18versesoftheprologueorbeginningoftheGospelaccordingtoSt.John.As yousay,itisdifficulttounderstand.Youwillnotice theconstantharpingonthe twowords:lifeandlight: wordsthatfrequentlyoccur intheBookofProverbs,the BookofWisdom,andinSt. Paul'sEpistles.
God'swisdomor"light," andHiscreativepower whichgave"life"toman, arestressedintheOldTestament.ThroughHis"Wisdom"Godcreatedeverything,butHealsocreated andgovernsallthroughHis "word,"aswearetoldin Psalm32.
Thus"wisdom"and "word'areinterchangeable, andSt.Johnchoosesthe secondfortheChristwho isthedivinelightofhuman mindsandthedivinelife sharedto followers.

Withtherebasicideasin mind,letusnowturnto theprologue.Wemayconvenientlydivideitintothree parts.Thefirstfiveverses speakofthewordasGod andCreator(notethat, throughout,theterm"Word" referstoJesusChristeither priortoorsubsequentto Hisbecomingman).
Verses6-13refertothe roleofSt.JohntheBaptist andtheapproachingincarnationofChrist.Thefinal verses14-18tellofGod madeMan,whosegloryas fountofgraceandtruthis witnessedbytheApostles, bytheBaptistandbythe Church.
.Wisdom-Being
Letusrunthroughthe prologueversebyverse,as wereaditintheKnoxversion,andcommentbriefly aftereachverse.
Verse1:"Atthebeginning oftimetheWordalready was,andGodhadtheWord abidingwithhim,andthe WordwasGod."Beforethe creationbegan,theWord alreadyexisted.Heiseternal,andHisname,the Word,denotesthatHeisa Wisdom-Being,theoffspring ofintelligence.
"AndGodhadtheWord abidingwithHim,"ie.two distinctpersons,butonein naturefor"theWordwas God."Thefirstverseofthe prologue,therefore,tellsus thattheWord,isthesecond personoftheBlessedTrinity,waseternal,adistinct personandGod.
Verse2:"Heabodeatthe beginningoftimewith God."Thisisarepetitionof theWord'seternity,GodheadandpersonaldistinctionfromHimwhoinverses 14and18iscalledthe Father.Verses3-5tellus thatthe"Word"isthe creatorofallthings;the pivotalverbchangesfrom "being"to"comingtobe"
or"becoming".Through Himallthingswerecreated. Thisisemphasizedbya negativerepetition:"withouthimcamenotonething thathascometobe."(V.4) St.Johnnowdescendsfrom createdthingsingeneralto maninparticular."InHim (theWord)waslife,"ie.He isthecauseofMe,asin Psalm35:"Withtheeisthe fountainoflife."Thislife, ofwhichHeisthesource andfountain,isnotmerely naturallifebutsuperna- turallifecommunicatedto usbytheSacraments.
Rejected&Received
"Andthatlifewasthe lightofmen,"because, sincemanisanintelligent creature,supernaturallife forhimisprimarilylight illuminatinghismind. Hencebaptismwascalled photismosorillumination.
Verse5:"Andthelight shinesindarkness,andthe darknessdidnotwelcome it".St.Johnisreferringto themoraldarknessandthe activityoftheprinceof darkness,Satan,especially priortotheIncarnation.
Nowatverse6St.John switchestotheBaptistand thepreparationforthe comingoftheWordmade flesh."Therecameaman, sentfromGod,whosename wasJohn."Hewasthe PrecursorofChrist.He cameasawitness,tobear witnessofthelight,sothat throughhimallmenmight learntobelieve.

Verses9-10:"Thereisone whoenlightenseverysoul bornintotheworld;hewas thetruelight.Hethrough whomtheworldwasmade, wasintheworld,andthe worldtreatedhimasa stronger,"ie.theLightwas intheworldmadebyHim, butcorruptmankinddid notrecognizehim.-
"Hecametowhatwas hisown(i.e.thechosen people,theJewishrace), andthosewhowerehis
owngavehimnowelcome." TheyrejectedtheChristof prophecythroughoutthe agesofpreparation,and theyrejectedhimwhenHe appearedonearthasthe God-Man.
Verse12:"Butallthose whodidwelcomehimhe empoweredtobecomethe childrenofGod,allthose whobelieveinhisname." Thepowergiventothose whoreceivedtheWord, enablingthemtobecome childrenofGod,isthe graceoffaith.Beliefisthe foundationandrootofsonshipofGod.Thesesons,. verse13tellsus,werenot bornfrommaterialelements -thebloodproductsof manandwoman("born notofblood"),northeresultofsexuallife("norof thewilloftheflesh"),nor fromthedeliberatewillof man,(rationallydesiring offspring),butwereborn'fromGod.
TenMightiestWords
Thissupernaturalbirthof childrenofGodSt.John repeatsinchapter3,vv. 3-6,andinhisfirstEpistle; 2;29;3:9;5:4,18.Nowfollowthetenmightiestwordseverwrittenbyhuman pen:"AndtheWordwas madefleshanddweIt amongstus."Thatiswhy verse13ispossible.Man cansharethenatureof God,becauseGodcameto shareourhumannature; theWordbecamemanand enteredourfamily,sharing (apartfromsin)thewholefrailtyofmortalnature signifiedbytheword "flesh".
"Andwesawhisglory,' continuesSt.John,i.e.the externalmanifestationsof hisGodhead,inwords,miracles,Transfiguration,Re-surrection-aglorysuchas belongstoanonly-begottenwhocamefromtheFather, fullofgrace,andfullof truthforHeisthefullrevelationofGodincontrast totheshadowyrevelation oftheOldTestament.

Longbeforehisdeaththe "Societyof Methodists"peoplecalled wasreallya distinctnon-conformistsect, howeverhemighttryto disguisethefactfromhimself.Butthepretenceof conformitywaskeptup untilhisdeathin1791.
Eventwoyearsafter-wards,theMethodistConferenceof1793couldstill affirmitsdeterminationto remainintheChurchof England.Butafinalandirreparablebreakcamein 1795whentheManchester ConferenceofWesleyanMethodistsadoptedits"Plan ofPacification"toconciliate theMethodistlaity,authorisingunordainedmembers oftheSocietytocelebrate theLord'sSupperandadministertheCommunion.
Evenso,notuntil1892 didWesleyansventureto describetheirSocietyasa "Church."Andfromthen on,the"MethodistChurch" wasindeedonemorerival organisationaddedtothe ever-growingnumberof ProtestantChurches,altogetherdistinctandseparate fromtheAnglicanCommunion.
TheChurchofEngland, ofcourse,couldscarcely complainofthisrebellionof MethodistsagainsttheauthorityoftheChurchthey *hadhithertoaccepted,for theChurchofEnglanditselfhaddonethesame,settingtheexamplebyits ownrebellionagainstthe greatMother-Churchof Rome.
DisintegrationBegins
wisTheveryprinciplesthat ledtotheseparationofthe MethodistSocietyfrom theChurchofEngland,led inturntodissension amongstMethodiststhemselves.JohnWesleyhimself insistedthat,tobeaMethodist,itwasnecessaryto kl4e4be"Wesleyan."Allsecessionsfromhismovement werebranchescutofffrom theoriginallivingtree.
Butcontroversiesarose, oftenmanifestingthemselveswithanextremebitternessoffeelingwhich earnedthederisionofthe ungodly.

Wesleyhadneverbeenable tobeartheCalvinisticdoctrineoftheelectionand predestinationofsometo theexclusionofothers;and sehisdifferenceswithWhitefieldoverthisissueledto thelatter'sseparationfrom him,andtheestablishingof anewsocietyofMethodists underthepatronageof LadyHuntingdon.Hence thenameoftengiventothe sCalvinisticMethodists"LadyHuntingdon'sConnection."
AfterWesley'sdeath,the burningissuewasthequestionofthestatusofthe
historyofMethodismisa recordofthestrugglefor survivalofaprivileged clericalordersuperiorto anddistinctfromunordainedmembersoftheSociety.
Until'hisdeathin1791, Wesleyhadinsistedonthe distinction.In1797,AlexanderKilhamwasexpelled fromtheWesleyanMethodistsfordemandinglayrepresentationattheAnnualConference.Heandhis followersthereuponfounded the"MethodistNewConnection."
In1810HughBourneand WilliamClower,twounordainedWesleyans,commencedaseriesofopen-airre vivalmeetings.Forbidden byConferencetocontinue them,theyseceded,and startedanewsectcalled "ThePrimitiveMethodists:' In1815,anotherWesleyan, WilliamO'Bryan,began the"BibleChristians"in Cornwall.
ChurchOrganisation
In1907,Kilham's"MethodistNewConnection"and O'Bryan's"BibleChristians"mergedinto a "UnitedMethodistChurch," inwhichthelaitywere grantedalltherightsthe WesleyanMethodistswere unwillingtoconcede.
In1932theWesleyan Methodists,PrimitiveMethodistsandUnitedMethodists metinConferenceand proclaimedthemselvesone inakindofexternalunity asthe"MethodistChurch inGreatBritain."
TheWesleyanMethodists weretheoneswhohadto capitulate,acknowledgingno inherentpowerintheministrynotpossessedby everymemberofthelaity. JohnWesley'sownteachingswereagainabrogated.
WhenJohnWesleyfirst commencedhispreaching crusade,hegatheredhis convertsintoa"Society," andspokeofthemas"the peoplewhoarecalledMethodists."Heorganisedthem into"classes."Members weretomeetregularlyfor study,prayerandChristian fellowship.
Fromthese"classes"there developed"localsocieties," orgroupsofclasses,equivalenttowhatwenowcall loca1 churches.To-day, membersofalocalchurch areenrolledinaclasswhich isexpectedtomeetweekly fortheabovepurposes,each memberpaying"classmoney."

JOHNWESLEY:Aparallel withSt.Francis.
When,in1726,JohnWesleyformedhis"HolyClub" atOxford,oneofhisstrict ruleshadbeenthatofregularweeklyCommunion accordingtoAnglicanrites. AfterhisMoravianconversionin1738,however,he tooktoopen-airpreaching; andofnecessityhisrevival meetingshadtobe"nonsacramental."
Ferventsermons,extemporeprayer,andstirring hymnsweretheorderof theday.ButWesleynever regardedhisopen-airservicesasprovidingallthe needsofpublicworship. Heassumedthathisconvertswouldalsoattend SundayworshipinAnglican parishchurches;andhe urgedthem,aboveall,to receiveHolyCommunion, the"supremeexpressionof Christianfellowship."
Buthis"Methodists"were notwelcomedtoCommunion bytheorthodoxAnglican clergy.Moreover,theyregardedtheirrevivalmeetingsandstudy-classdevotionasquitesufficientin themselves.
TheHymnBookofthe Societybecametheirchief bookofdevotion,andthey becamea"singing"and prayingpeople,withless andlessattractionforritual andliturgy.
WesleyhimselfeverretainedtheAnglicanLiturgy inaccordancewithhisduty asanAnglcanclergyman, andinsisteduponitsretention.Buthisfollowershad littleideaofitsimportance. Methodiststo-dayregard asasufficientformof worshiptheusualnon-conformistserviceconsistingof thereadingofScripture, thesingingofhymns,a sermon,andprayer.
HolyCommunioniscelebratedonceortwicea month,followingmorning oreveningworship.Atable iscoveredwithalinen cloth,breadisplacedupon it,togetherwithlittleglassesofwineliketraysof inkwells,theglassesreplacingthetraditionalchaliceforhygienicreasons.
Itistruethat,obsessed bytheideaof"personal conversion,"Wesleyomitted toinstructhisfollowers withsufficientcareinother mattershethoughtessential;butmodernMethodists donotstreesto-dayeven theexperienceofconversion asWesleydid.Forthem, theideaof"fellowship"has becometheall-important consideration.
HadhebeenCatholic MethodistChurches,too, havebecomenotonlynonliturgical,butanti-liturgical. JohnWesley'sown"ritualism"wouldhavebeenintolerableintheireyes.Their theoryofordinationisradicallydifferentfromhis.
HeinsistedonthepracticeofweeklyCommunion. Sincehisdeath,Methodists haveprofoundlymodified theirbehaviour,andmany admitthatHolyCommunionmeanslittleornothingtothem.
BothintheoryandpracpcemodernMethodismhas movedfurtherandfurther awayfromthereligionof JohnWesley.IfhiswaysandteachingswereofGod, thelaterdevelopmentscannotbe;iflaterdevelopmentsareofGod,then Wesleyhimselffellinto error.
Ormustwesuspectboth earlierandlaterphasesof Methodismtohavebeen equallytheresultofsincere butmistakenzeal?Tothe Christian,laterdevelopmentscertainly'haveall thesignsofprogressivedeparturefromthetruth.
