VATICAN CITY (NC) - The new ambassador of Zambia to the Holy See praised Pope Paul's efforts for "peace and love among races" at ceremonies in which he presented his diplomatic credentials.

Ambassador Amock Israel Phiri, a Methodist, told Pope Paul that the Zambian government was founded on humanism, a philosophy "whose basis is man and his importance, regardless of origin, color, race or creed."

Then he added: "Your Holiness, the people of Zambia admire your leadership. They are grateful to you for your efforts to promote peace· and love among races and nations of this troubled world."

In his brief welcoming speech to the new ambassador, Pope Paul spoke of his love and concern for the people of Zambia "in the' many projects being sponsored and undertaken throughout the .,country for betterment and social development."

Rights, Obligations The Pope also said he wished for Zambia "peace, understanding and toleration" as continued aims.

"These aims are foundations for human advancement and the basis of full and complete respect for the rights of man and his obligations-for there cannot be rights _without obligations," the Pope said.

Ambassador Phiri will continue to reside in London, where he serves as his country's high commissi'c)ner -(ambassador) , to Great Britain.

In 1815 there were seven separate states' in Italy, each with its own sovereign ruler, 'One was the Papal States, of which the' Pope '\vas the temporal ruler. But 55 years later, all of Italy was united under Victor Emmanuel II, who had started out as King of Piedmont.· It was in 1815, of course, that Europe finally got rid of Napo-, leon Bonaparte. He had conquered Italy; and now its, several parts were given back to their respective sovereigns. But he Ilad fostered the unitary idea, and it persisted.

As the ce9tury went on, there was a series of risings against loca1 rulers, but the earlier ones had little' effect. It took- the labors of three exceptional men to get the process of unification really, moving.

Critical Year , The first 'of these was Giuseppe Mazzini, ,a giftec!, fiery propagandist, .whose words could stir others to action. The second was Giuseppe Garibaldi, a skillful leader of revolutionary forces.

The third was Count CamillO Cavour, prime' min'ister of Piedmont,.adroit in taking over and using whatever Mazzini, Garibaldi, and others' gave him by way of an opening. , Ol)e critical year for all three, was 1848. It saw insurrections in various parts of Italy, and a revolution in Rome, which caused Pius IX' to flee the city and led to the establishment of a short-lived Roman republic.

Also in 1848, Naples al'\d Tuscany joined Piedmont in i war against Austria, which held' certain territories in Italy (for example, Venice). Austria won the war, and much of Italy returned to the pre-1848 status. But the cause of unification and the prestige of the King of Piedmont 'were nonetheless advanced.

First King A decade later, in 1859, there was: another war' with Austria.

In this instance the France 'of Napoleon 11 intervened against Austria.

Archbishop Medefros Announces

CCO Convention in Boston, Aug. 20-22 "It is through effective .religious education that we attempt to answer the most serious questions that face our Church and our world today," Most Rev. Humberto Medeiros, Archbishop of Boston, said in announcing the 1971 Regional CCD Convention.

He was encouraging participation in the 25th annual New England Cg~gress on Religious Education which will be held Aug.

20-22 for priests, sisters, brothers and laity of all New England dioceses at Boston College.

Host of' the Congress is the Boston Archdiocesan office of Religious Education-CCO. The Archbishop recalled from Vatican II that "I, as a bishop in union with the Holy Father and all my fellow bishops, am called upon 'to teach according to the doctrines of the Church, the great value of these things:

Festival and Parade Planned, For TauD'lton State Hosp;tal Representatives of the Volunteer Services at the Taunton State Hospital have met with members of the Greater Taunton Jaycees to design and plan the community extension festival and family day parade for Taunton State Hospital patient:;.

The festival will' take place June 8-12. Changing this year's event to a week-long extension festival is designed to emphasize the fact that the geographical units of the hospital are extensions of the communities they represent.

Various groups of business and community organizations .will take part in week-long ex-

hibits. Groups will represent Taunton, Cape Cod, Plymouth, Fall River and New Bedford mental health areas. The family day parade will be the highlight of the week-long festivities.

" Chairman of the Publicity Committee is Manuel A. Gomes of Holy Family Parish, Taunton, a member of the hospital staff and brother of Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes of Fall River.

Taking part in the planning meeting were Mrs. Lois M. Brissonnette; James Athern and Everett Moitoza of the Volunteer Services staff' and Leon Bunk and Gary Brown of the Greater Taunton Jaycees.

The Archbisop added that the upcoming Congress "will give great stress to the adult religious growth with the knowledge that adult education is necessary if our children and youth are to come to a full realization of the life of Christ in their homes.," He said .one of the exhortations of Vatican II will be utilized at the August Congressthe use of various media for proclaiming' Christian doctrine.

Urging all laity, priests and religious to plan on taking parJ in the Congress,' he said the three-day meeting will present Christian doctrine adapted to the needs of the times which will respond to the difficult questions which burden and trouble people.

Registrations for the 25th annual New England Congress in the Boston Archdiocese are being accepted at the CCO Office, 1 Lake Street, Brighton, and also at all other New England Diocesan Offices.

A recent story has an older person asking' youngster' if he would like to be older so that he could drive ah automobile.

The reasons are seVjeral. They have been receiving complaints from exhibitors.

There has been a decline in box-office receipts. ,There ha~ been unprecedented success in films which do~ot l!ave ~ heavy sexual content.

The fact remains that 'it is, finalicial-bank i ruptcy that is threatening them. And the fact is that sex1 ploitation has not remained the box-office success that it ~~~~~a~~~~ !

An official of one of the large 'studios has comment~ ed, "The whole country has undergone a remarkable ret versal in taste." He spoke of the "backlash" against "the pef!l1issive type of entertainment that all of us had overi' indulged ourselves in." . l Another official mentioned two x-rated films that hiS company had released and '''got our brains beat out fOf it" at the box-office." , . .' .. I The movie industry is' beginning to realize that people have much better taste than they have been given credit for. And what may find an audience in huge New York· City or Los Angeles-cities where just about anything would find an interested audience - goes begging in other areas!

I The cry against sexploitation has been particularl~' strong where groups have let their feelings be known tJ local newspapers and theater owners and public officials; There has been, a demand throughout the country foJ pictures that a whole family can go to see; ,'A,nd wher~ these have been exhibited,- money has been made.

The taste and moral standards of the movie-goers have put pressure on this tremendous industry. The pressure has been on the pocketbook.

Sees Christ's Pas$ion As Political Drama

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Apr. 29, 1971

7

One of the difficulties about the attempt to link Christian teaching with contemporary issues is that many people simply dismiss the effort as "politics." What, they say, have arms budgets or income tax or foreign aid or the SST to do with the Gospels? Christ Himself told us again to be point in his last to "render to Caesar the remark: "I am the King's good things that are Caesar's and serva?t, .but GO?'S fir~t"? Can

to God the.things that are God's."

It is simply confusing Church and State to be always protesting against national defense in the name of Christian love, against uneven income distribution in the name of human and divine justice, against rising GNP in the name of personal restraint. .

Christianity, so the argument goes, is concerned with the profound and sometimes agonizing problems of our personal Iivesour aspirations to virtue and self-fulfilment, our sins and failures, our family, our ultimate confrontation with the angel of death.

'Caesar's Business' But if to all this is added "Caesar's business"-Iaws and regulations and tax returns and the draft and foreign aid and environment and heaven knows what else-then what time have we left for the things of God? We simply run straight into the present disintegration of Church structures.

Nuns marry and become guerillas. Priests go to. jail for civil disobedience. Churches split wide open on the issue of social change. All is confusion and strain. The "peace of the Lord , which passes all unrlerstanding" deserts His faithful people. They are caught in the maelstrom.

The life of the spirit dies away.

But in fact the division between God and Caesar has troubled the Christian soul from the very first age of the Church.

The Romans thought the early Christians crazy because of their inability to accept Caesarworship as a normal citizen's duty, like paying taxes or saluting the flag. Modern states make more substantial demands on the citizen than the much less competent Roman Government could ever do.

Were the early Christians wrong in thinking that some ,Political issues went beyond the realms of Caesar and impigned 'on their duty to God? If. they were not wrong, may not today's "Caesar," the nation state, cross the line too?

In Britain under Henry VIII ~he majority of Christians went ,!along with the King's claim to ine Head of the Church, Later lon, many of them resented the young Jesuits who came over from Europe to preach what would now be called "subver(sion." Was Sir Thomas More (then wrong to go first to jail and r-hen to the scaffold in defiance 1of his monarch? Is there never I

\

we dismiSS the Issue Simply as "politics" if Christians, in con-. science, cannot obey all the state's commands?

Back to Christ But we have, I think, to go back to Christ Himself. The profound and final. significance of His Passion and Crucifixion is, obviously, the reconciling of· God and Man, the breaking of the shackles of incurable sinfulness, the triumph over the last enemy, Death itself. At another level, it is the great drama of compassion in which God shares all the evils to which humanity, as a result of His supreme gift of free will, is in fact exposed.

But in every day, ordinary historical existence, Christ's Passion is a poltical drama all the way. He had offended the Jewish religious authorities by denouncing continuously the empty legalism of their supposed faith.

He had outraged "the Establishment" by consorting with prostitutes and tax-gatherers and whipping the money changers out of the Temple.

Many of the youngsters were accompanied by their parents or by friends because the pilgrimage organizers wanted to keep them in conditions as no~mal as possible.

The Anglican Church cooperated in the organization of the pilgrimage and there were 1,800 participants from Great Britain.

In connection with the pilgrimage, seminars were orga~­ ized on the religious education (if the mentally retarded.

"Hey, Mom! Know what Sister had us reading in English today? 'You Can't Take it With You.' It's a play about a nutty family, where everyone did crazy things.

All the kids thought it was funny ... except me. It sounded like our house!" "Now, really!" "Well, gee, Mom. Who Don't you get a sense of satiselse lives in a house that faction learning to do something new?" looks like it should have "When we're all done, I do.

By MARY CARSON

"At least, it's not dark and spooky here at night. None of you kids ever turns out a light."

"That's 'cause everyone's always doing things. Isn't- it more important to have all the lights on and us doing things, than to have us complaining we have nothing to do?"

"So why do you say we do nutty things?"

"But Mom, who else ,has 100 fish tanks in thei'r cellar?"

"Everybody . . . who ,has a tropical, fish. hatchery. for a hobby. Anyway, you were the one who started us with the first tank, and the fish just kept multiplying. Besides, it's good science background fol' school."

Pr~g~al1t, Guppy

"I guess so. At least it's something to write about when we have to do a report. Remember when I did a speech on how to tell when a guppy is pregnantcomplete with' diagrams? That was before we had sex education, in school. The class was sure ,interested."

"Even if it is unusual that we keep so many fish, you' enjoy going to the tropical fish shows with us."

"Yeah, that's another thing.

When I told one of the kids at, school that I was going to a fish show, he looked at me like I'm some kind of a nut.'!

"Can't you explain that there are fish shows, just like horse shows, and dog shows?"

"I tried. He wanted to know if we led the fish around a ring ... on a leash."

"Why don't you bring him over here sometime and show him the fish? He might be interested, and when there's a show nearby, maybe he'd want to go."

My son moaned, "He wouldn't come. He never does anything .. except make fun of the things other kids do."

"So why do you say our family is crazy? We may do some odd things, but you don't have much respect for that kid, who does nothing."

"Yeah, I guess the fish aren't so bad. But what about last Summer when we re-upholstered furniture? Other people don't do things like that."

"Well, it looks pretty good now." .

"It sure was a mess while we . were doing it."

Trying to defend our "family projects," I countered, "Many peopl~ try 'do-it-yourself' ideas.

It's the in-between that's crazy.

How about when we were taking the paper off the wall, and the whole wall fell down? And, when we tried to fix the leaky faucet in the kitchen, and flooded the whole cellar. And what about your garden?"

"What about my garden?"

Great Wall of China "Well, Mom, when anyone else wants to build a rock garden, they just stick a few rocks in a corner. You thought you were making the Great Wall of China."

"It just grew. But it' certainly improves that side of the yard." '''Yeah. I was outside the other morning. The sun was shining on the tulips-and the dew was still in them. It really does look good." ' .

Thinking I had just won a round, I pushed the advantage.

"Some of the projects we do don't work out too well, but enough of them are a' success to make us want to keep trying."

"Maybe the things we do aren't so bad, but what about the things you save? Who else has a sauerkraut slicer in their cellar? And we don't even make sauerkraut!"

"That belonged to my grandmother ... and I remember when I was a little girl, I used to help her make sauerkraut. I can't· throw it out. Anyway, why don't you go do your homework? You still have to finish reading that play. Besides, I'd like you to be done early, so you can help me this evening."

"Now what are we doing?" !'Well, there's another /fish show soon. I've an idea how we 'can make a sculpture out of rocks and cement to decorate an aquarium. Now, hurry and finish that story about fhe nutty family."

"Hey, Mom?" "What?"

"You didn't write that play, did you?"

He also declared ecumenism is "not a luxury, not a choice but a necessity" in a, television interview here.

Discussing Catholic education in the count.ry, the cardinal said: "It would not be good to have a monopoly or totalitarian form of education." He stressed that financial arrangements have been worked out in other countries to insure continuing nonpublic school education.

Survival of religiously oriented schools is necessary because "you can't preserve morale" in a country "without morality," the ci,lrdinal said.

New Law Bans

THE ANCHORThurs., April 29, 1971

Quick Divorces In Mexico JUAREZ (NC)-The old neon signs no longer announce to Americans crossing the international bridges here, at Tijuana and other border points that they have come to the "right place" for a divorce.

A Mexican federal law in effect since Feb. 28 requires foreigners seeking a divorce in this country to establish a six-month period of residency.

Divorce was a- multi-million dollar industry in Mexico until February. Juarez (across the border from EI Paso, Tex.) alone grossed over $80 million annually from the trade. Divorces here averaged 30 a day, and statistics were similar for other easy-toreach border cities.

For years it was possible for U. S. citi 4ens to cross the border· and snip marital ties in a matter of hours, even though the legality of these divorces was sometimes questioned in the United States.

Legality, however, was not the issue that caused Mexican officials to put an end to quickie divorces. The business, though . profitable, was considered a sordid one.

There was considerable religious pressure in predominantly Catholic Mexico to eliminate the "disgrace" of these divorces.

There was also the fact that politicians believed the divorces gave Mexico a bad image abroad.

To many insiders, howeveJ;", this extreme' touchiness and the new ban on quickie divorces is a joke, because they know that the inevitable is happening-bootleg divorces.

Rule Bypassed It's a little more complicated, it's illegal, and it requires certain covering maneuvers-but it' is still possible to get a quickie divorce in Mexico.

Foreigners seeking divorces who are unwilling or unable to comply with the six-month residency requirement are being discreetly informed that the rule can be bypassed-providing the right bribes are put into the right hands.

In other words, instead of an average $300 to $500 it formerly cost someone to shed a mate, the price is now three t9 five times that figure. And for VIP's, the average of $10,000 for a quickie divorce has also increased.

Although the neon signs are now dimmed, Mexican quickie -divorces are still obtainable, and may prove to be an even more lucrative business than before.

Sees Bias Ending In Private Clubs NEW YORK (NC)-Legal and moral pressures to end racial and religious discrimination in private social clubs in the United States are increasing at a rate which should end· such bias in 10 years, a member of the American Jewish Committee's national executive council predicted.

RogerP. Sonnabend, president of Sonesta Internatio.nal Hotels Corp., made his observations at a press conference here to mark publication of a book on discrimination, "Better Than You"

by Terry Moris, one of a series published by the AJC Institute of Human Relations.

The hotel executive maintained that individuals and organizations are placing increased pressures on exclusionist clubs by cancelling memberships and by refusing to hold me!2tings and social functions at such clubs.

Worcester Diocese Has Due Process

For years, many observers have claimed that the Church in Austria has lost the working classes and that many of them are simply "baptismal-certificate Catholics."

90 Per Cent Catholic ..; ,., .. " Surveys have indicated that about a third of the country's 6.6 million Catholics go to Church regularly, although nearly all have their children baptized.

Also, where a religious wedding is possible, about 90 per cent of couples are married in church.

In addition, about 90 per cent of the. dead are given Catholic buria\. Austria is about 90 per cent Catholic.

This Summer Father Griess will again, as he does every year, put on a hard hat and go down to work with the miners in a coal mine. ~everal of Father Greiss' priestfriends in neighboring parishes may be found at the same time working in paper and weaving mills, in steel plants and at large construction sites.

He noted that Philip E. Hoffman, AJC president, wrote to college p'residents urging that they ask their administrative staffs, alumni associations and other school-affiliated groups not to use the facilities of clubs practicing discrimination. Sonnabend said that 300 presidents replied indicating their support of the AJC leader's request.

As a result, of, such pressures, he said, "ten years from now, discrimination by private clubs win be ancient history." .

ONE OF 32 CHEERLEADING UNITS AT NE TOURNEY PERFORMS FOR JUDGES,

'Rainbow-Garbed Cheerleaders Whirl, Leap In NE Tourn~y

By Patricia McGowan While no one was looking, cheerleading stopped being the icing on the cake of schoolboy sports and emerged as an athletic achievement in itself. If you don't believe it, you should have been at Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River on Sunday. Completely sans basketball or football teams, 32 cheerleading units from five states were there' to compete in the third annual New England CYO Cheerleaders Tournament.

They' were-' accompanietl¡ by their own pep sections and rooters, including parents, schoolmates, teachers and moderators, they came by bus and car, and they plastered the Connolly gym with posters and banners. Best of all, they were attired in a rainbow of colors and were as pretty as-well, cheerleaders.

One contingent wore red uniforms, accented by yellow gloves, except for the captain.

She wore yellow with red gloves.

Others accessorized with shoe pompoms, ribbons, chokers and

ail-of-a-kind hair styles. It was all so pretty it was worth seeing even without the cheers.

Something 'Else But the cheers were something else. The girls jumped, whirled, clapped, cartwheeled, all in rhythm, all the result of hours of practice. To the inexperienced eye, every team was a winner, but stern jUdges marked the girls in four categories: appearance, teamwork and execution, originality and enunciation.

Appearance covered such 'points' as' fatial' expression, nair: do, dress, poise and posture; and the other categories were equalJy detailed. . ' Additionally cheers are governed by 10 rules, explained Miss Colette A. Gagne, president of the Diocesan Council of Catholic Youth and the poised mistress of cerempnies for Sunday's program. She said that each team makes three one-minute appearances under tournament rules, that cheers "must have purpose and meaning; must be short and simple,"

Deny Deliberate Delay on School Aid Report MINNEAPOLIS (NC) - White House officials are not deliberately delaying release of an interim report prepared by President Nixon's four-man panel on non public schools, the chairman of that panel said here.

"My perception is that the White House wants to get this into the public domain rather soon," said Dr. Clarence Walton, panel head and president of the Catholic University of America in Washngton, D. C. .

Walton lInd two other panel members, Auxiliary Bishop William E. McManus of Chicago and Ivan E. Zylstra of Grand Rapids, Mich., were among featured speakers at the 68th annual National Catholic Educational Association convention here.

'Interesting Rumor' They talked· about their work· on the non public school panel, part of a larger Presidential Commission on School Finance, at a press conference. None of the three would discuss specifics on the interim report they sent to the White House on Feb. 12, claiming that protocol set up long ago for such reports demands that presidential spokesmen release the contents first.

Commenting on \'peclilation that the document proposed a federal "voucher" plan similar to one recently approved in.

Maryland, Walton said: "It is an interesting rumor and must remain at that for now."

The Catholic University president stressed that the report was an interim one, with the final one not due until March 1972, after comprehensive research.

But he said the preliminary document contained specific suggestions for helping financially strapped non public schCiols in the meantime.

Await Announcement Bishop McManus added that President Nixon "said he wanted recommendations for action, and we have obliged."

The panel has met a dozen times since its inception, the Chicago bishop said, with the bulk of the meetings devoted to planning research projects "that will help us in our deliberations."

He said studies were being done by Harvard, Michigan and Notre Dame universities, among others, on subjects like the' constitutional questions surrounding nonpublic school aid and the extent to which non public schools serve the public interest.

Bishop McManus told newsmen he felt "very uncomfortable" skirting the meat of the report but felt bound to wait for a formal White House an-nouncement.

MinnesotaTax Credit Bill Faces House Vote

•

~,

ST. PAUL (NC)-A tax credit bill to provide state' aid to parents of non public school students was approved, 25-to-9 in committee and now faces a Minnesota House vote.

Tax credits, according to the bills' chief author, Rep. Robert Johnson, would average $75 to $85 per student. Cost to the state should not exceed $21 million over the next two years, substantially less than Gov. Wendell Anderson's budget request for state aid.

Just as I began to prepare some thoughts on Chapter 12 of St. Paul's Letter to the Romans, a copy of the New American Bible arrived at my Vatican Office from the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, sponsor of the translation project.

pect. Paul really meant "oneself" rather than what we mean by "body" today. He doesn't mean here that the Christian should offer his body to persecutors or torturers; he's not advocating here vows of virginity or celibacy.

What he means is brought out better, I think, in Today's English Version of the American Bible Society: "So, then, my brothers, because of God's many mercies to us, r make this appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him.

This is the true worship that you should offer."

he says, if you want to pray well, then pray much; but if you don't pray much, at least pray regularly, and you will pray well.

Discussion Questions I. Why do people experience God differently in different epochs?

2. What is the difference between "prayer" and "prayers"?

Morning Offering I

..

Prayer Life

However, Today's English Version is not perfect. That last phrase about I"true wO,rship" can be misleading. You might think Paul means to eliminate liturgical worship, for example, some forms of which had already developed during his lifetime.

The NAB, therefore, may be better with its "spiritual worship."

Both versions are trying to express the idea behind a Greek word Paul used which means basically "reasonable" as opposed to "unreasonable" but may have a variety of meanings depending on the context. Paul may have intended here' a contrast between Christian life and worship, on the one hand, and the pagan cults around the new Christians.

In any case, what Paul teaches in this chapter is that every day you really worship God if :you try to give yourseifcompl~i:ely to doing what is right in God's si,ght. In other words, Paul here advocates consecration of body and soul to the service of God. Focus on God's Will The NAB puts you on the right track with the title it puts on the first part of. this chapter: "Sacrifice of Body and Mind." I like even more the title on the whole chapter in TEV: "Life in God's Service."

Sometimes I think that a good title for this chapter would be "Advi'Ce for a Time of Renewal and Violence." In 12:2 Paul gives a principle which is as valid today as it was t.hen. He says we should not conform ourselves to the standards ~f this world but should let God transform us inwardly, so that, as the NAB translation rightly puts it, "you may judge what is God's will, what is good, pleasing and perfect. " With the focus therefore on God's will, Paul quickly gives a word of advice to some of the people who were active in the early church: prophets, clergy, teachers. Notice that those who give alms are advised to do it generously, and those who do works of mercy are advised to do them cheerfully. As we shall see next, these same elements enter into Paul's handling of the situation where the Christian is confronted with the choice between violence and non-violence.

Discussion Questions 1. What does Paul mean by

"true worship" in Romans 12:1?

2. What advice does Paul give to the activists in the early Church in Romans 12?

Learning to Pray Continued from Page Sixteen tor told me several. years ago that in his opinion., the primary objective Qf religious education is to teach people to pray.

A careful study of recent religion texts reveals. this preoccu- . pation with prayer as an essential dimension of the religious education process. Not only do they contain what many Catholics call the "basic" prayerse.g. Our Fathe'r, Hail Mary, Creed, Glory be to the father, acts of faith,' hope, charity and contrition-they are also filled with prayers from the Scriptures and the Liturgy. The Psalms are restored to the place they rightfully hold in the Christian tradition of prayer. .

More important than the number and diversity of 'prayers found in more recent religion texts is the emphasis on learning to pray. Learning to pray is . not the same thing as learning to say certain traditional prayers.

Saying these prayers mayor may not involve genuine prayer.

With the help of the new religious education approa'ches, children, adolescents, and adults, according to their age and experience, are guided in forms of prayer - for example, mental prayer, contemplation, meditation-that were long the privileged knowledge of priests and Religious.

Following the instruction of the Second Vatican Council to priests, religious educators are attempting to "lead. the faithful .along to ,an ever-improved spirit prayer offered throughout the whole of life according to the graces and needs"' of each" (Priests, 5). The words of the Council recall the exhortation of St. Paul to "never cease. praying" (l Thes 5: 17).

The Council suggests several vital elements of. the process of learning to pray, of acquiring a spirit of prayer that permeates the whole of one's life. One element of the process is to draw "on the authentic sources of Christian spirituality."

Of these sources two are singled out because of their importance: the Sacred Scriptures and the Sacred Liturgy (Religious Life, 6). The other element is the experiences of daily life frequently referred to in the Council as "the signs of the times" (Church in World, 4).

Nourished from the riches of the traditional sources of Christian spirituality, especially the Bible and Liturgy, a person is gradually equipped to pray out of the experiences of daily life.

SlowlY,with the guidance of those more experienced, a Christian can learn to communicate with Christ in the ordinary moments of each day.

Christ is with us always and everywhere, attempting to enter into dialogue with us through experiences of living, the "signs

The first lesson is to learn to listen to His Word, to the guidance of the Holy Spirit who teaches us to pray. Then one is in a position to learn to respond to Him in a variety of ways: vocal or mental, formal or informal, active or passive, silently or through song, gesture, or other forms of creative expression.

"Learning the prayers" is ~n important but very limited part of the rich world of dialogue with God which we call prayer.

A detective who participated in the meeting of teachers about prayer described his experience in terms that are suggestive of what prayer really is. He said that as he goes about \ his work he juust walks with God. Discussion Questions I. Why is learning to pray not the same as learning to say traditional prayers?

2. Why are the Scriptures and the liturgy becoming more important today in teaching us to pray?

The action was taken by about 40 delegates attending the conference's 14th annual convention here.

Father Anthony Capuchin .Scannell of Los Angeles, reelected president of the conference,' said the conference agreed unanimously to cut back its administrative service. Delegates voted to abolish the organization's full-time, paid executive secretary post and shut odwn the national office in St. Louis.

He said the moves were taken because the conference has been barely able to meet expenses. He did not elaborate on the conference's financial situation.

Father John Lydon of Chicago, who has served as executive secretary for. HIe past two years, will return to a parish assignment in his home archdiocese. . The national office, which employs four salaried staff personnel, will be phased out within

the next few months.

The CPC membership, Father Scannel said, would assume the administrative tasks formerly implemented by the n'ational offke. Members will inform clergy and laity about the servicessuch as workshops-the organization offers. 'Members will also hlllp raise funds for the financially-pressed Conference.

And, to the surprise of many, Stang definitely is now rated among the better teams in. the County. Mike Fahey and Jim Ciborowski have both looked impressive in their mound appearances to date. When relief pitching was needed in the New Bedford Vocational game Paul Gagnier came on to quell the Voke threat and preserve a 6-4 win for the O'Brienmen.

Pacheco's club rebounded from that upset by besting' Durfee 5-2.

The hot and cold Whalers have had some difficulty putting things together. Following their big win over the Fall Riverites on .last ;Friday, the Crimson and White played Tabor Academy of Marion in a non-league contest. Five New Bedford er,rors led to five unearned Tabor runs and a 5-4 loss for the Whalers.

Although the season is young New Bedford can not afford to continue playing inconsistent ball if it hopes to remain in' contention.

Taunton at Durfee f,or Key County Game Msgr. Coyle High of Taunton will host New Bedford today.

The Warriors who dropped two, of their first three contests appear to be no match for the title hopefuls.

Durfee High received a shot in the arm last week, when Mark Bomback, ace of the Hilltopper pitching staff, returned for duty. It was feared that Bomback would miss the entire season due to a knee injury; however, the fire bailer optained medical permissionoto resume all activities.

He promptly responded by hurling the league's first no hit, no run game of the campaign.

The' effort brought Coach Joe Lewis's 'team a >71-0 victory.

Bomback's presence may be just what the doctor ordered for Durfee.

Taunton like Stang was not considered in the same class as Durfee and New Bedford prior to the opening of the season. However, the Tigers defeated New Bedford. and Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro in convincing fashion. But, lost to Stang.

Coach Mike George's Tigers will travel to Fall River today to meet Durfee. A Taunton victory will add more flavor to an already exciting race.

With Taunton a'nd Stang in the title picture, what was supposed to be a, two team title race may turn into one of the better County League finishes in years.

Durfee anr Somerset took a break from league play over the weekend to play host to the first' Somerset Invitational Baseball Tournament.

Narry League Begi~s Saturday.Contests In opening round play on Friday last the Hilltoppers bowed to Shrewsbury 10-8. Somerset advanced to the finals by virtue of its 16-13 win over Wachusetts Regional.

Durfee routed Wachusetts in a consolation game Saturday 15-5. An infield single in the 10th inning drove in the winning run for Shrewsbury to give the, Western Massachusetts club a 6-5 verdict over Somerset in the tourney finals.

Somerset, defending Narragansett League champion, will return to league action today

Students Fcivor Catholic Schools CINCINNATI (NC) - Catholic college students and teachers in the Cincinnati archdiocese want to see Catholic education continued, social action programs strengthened and additional emphasis given to Church renewal and reform as "the main road to full Christian unity:; These were conclusions of a survey made by Archdiocesan Campus Ministry on proposals of the documents on education, social action and ecumenism proposed for the coming 'Sixth Archdiocesan Synod.

Father Donald G. McCarthy, Campus Ministry director, said -that nearly 400 responses were compiled for each document, with about two-~hirds coming from college students and the rest from faculty, other parishioners at campus Masses and, in the survey on the social action and education documents, about 100 high school students.

Father McCarthy indicated that "since the great majority of those surveyed on the education document are still acquring their' education, these responses have special significance:' For example, 65 per cent agreed that Catholic schools on all levels should be continued, with only 17 per cent disagreeing; the rest 'were undecided.

Asked if concerted efforts should be made to continue to' obtain government aid for Catholic schools, more than 70 per cent agreed and only 12 per cent disagreed. ,0

Lackawanna IS a steel-producing suburb of Buffalo. In 1968 Bishop McNulty negotiated the sale of 25 acres of diocesan owned property in Lackawanna to a group' sponsored by blacks for construction of a 138-house project for low income Negroes.

Protestant and other religious leaders in the area lauded Bishop McNulty's stand on behalf of the black minority. ' Kevin Kennedy, attorney for the diocese, claimed it marked the first time in this country that "a diocese has gone to court to seek enforcement· of a federal civil rights law" for the benefit of blacks.

Lackawanna Mayor Mark L. Balen announced' plans had been completed for construction of a multi-purpose recreational ,center on the disputed property.

Unnnimous Silence The legal fight was conducted through two federlll courts cases.
