if American bishops are humming "I'll Be Home For Christmas" these days, it does not mean they have forgotten the true spirit of Advent.

Fact is, after nearly two months of hard work, all of the Council Fathers are anxious to return to their dioceses and to be back with their flock for Christmas. Such a human desire the third session. This nine months' pause surprises no one.

The Second session of Vatican II will begin on September 8. The reason why Pope John changed the originally-announced May 12th opening was to "accedeoto the wishes of many bishops who had requested a later opening date." Not only are May and June uncomfortably hot months in Rome, but, more important, the short six weeks' session would have been hardly worth the time and effort, especially in the light of another return to Rome three months later for -

Archbishop John J. Krol of Philadelphia is chairman of the committee whose statement was released here through the National Catholic Welfare Conference, the U. S. hierarchy's secretariat.

The Bishops'turn toward legislation as a means of securing classification is made in their third successive annual statement on the matter of films and youth.

The prelates said they continue to support, as they did in past statements, voluntary classifica. tion by the movie industry itself.

But they. said the opposition of industry leadership, especially the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) , and the continuing increase in so-called "adult films," many of them featured in "family-trade" movie, houses, make it necessary to seek a new course.

They charged that "short of II computer file on' all films, parents are unable to determine the acceptability of many films ex. hibited in neighborhood theaters which their children frequent."

The impact of "adult films" on youth is a cause of increasing concern" for many people and agencies, such as parents and police, who are convinced that the films "tend to impose an unhealthful and false outlook on life," they said.

The mirades were examined by the Sacred Congregation of mites' preparatory commission, oomposed of cardinal members, ~relate officials and theologian @Onsultants.

Announcement of the commission's meeting is tantamount to approval of the miracles, but they must be r~viewed again and voted on in the presence of Pope JJohn: After that there remain ~nly a number of formalities to be completed before beatification.

miracles, and the Church, re-;' membering the power he exercised over flames, makes us pray that we may, through his intercession, be preserved from the flames 'Of hell.

"Having become Archbishop of Myra, the wants of his flock were the first object of his pastoral care. He took part in the Council of Nicea, which condemned Arianism.

"Putting to profit the talents of which the Gospel speaks, he practiced both spiritual and temporal works of mercy, as when he discreetly threw alms in at a window to save the honor of three young girls, an act still commemorated nowadays. in Santa Claus when the children thank St. Nicholas for presents."

Gold Coins The story of the three young girls, for whom the good Bishop provided dowries, is further commemorated in th~ custom of tucking in the toe of St. Nicho-' las stockings a small bag of gold-wrapped chocolate coins.

Tradition teIls us that the alms provided by the saint consisted of gold coins.

Parents needn't worry about 1he expense of St. Nicholas stockings. They're maimly filled with cookies, with sometimes a small dime store toy added for an extra surprise.

The stockings can also have II character-building' val u e, notes Mary Reed Newland in her excellent book, "The Year and Our Children."

"One of the traps into which most ,parents of good will eventually fall before Christmas has, arrived 'is to shout in the heat of some shortness of tempers: 'How do you expect to get presents on Christmas if you aren't good now?' .

"No sooner are the words out of your mouth than you could bite off your tongue. But it has been said. The ugly implication is there: you might not get presents 'for Christmas.

"To transfer the burden of the 'be good or else' problem to st. Nicholas is infinitely more comfortable. Here the threat involves no more, than a stockingful of cookies, but it is a prospect • sufficiently dreadful to give them pause. It also involves a happy solution to the naughtiness. No good behavior - no cookies. It usually works (I speak from experience) ~ "Most enfants terribles will stand dolefully watching - the more virtuous munching their cookies and make a superb effort to mend their ways, and "'yet. the event is not of such magnitude that~ it lea~s any permanent scars.

"People always ask how we handle the delicate business of sharing, should this occasion produce one or two malcontents without cookies. We are all of course very sad to see theY have no cookies, but if it is a warning and a punishment, then-it is a warning and a punishment.

"Char:acter training is involved, and also your own authority. No cookies - shared or otherwise."

How did Santa Claus grow out of St. Nicholas? Joan Windham explains it in "Sixty Saints for Boys": "If you say 'St. Nicholas, St. Nicholas, St. Nicholas' very quickly and very often, you will see that it turns into 'Santa Claus,' and they are both the same person!"

Soon she discovered what Father was doing with the Spanish speaking families in the parish, and, at his request, she bagan conducting a class for catechetical instruction for the

children. Mter just five weeks in operation, the class includes some 21 youngsters.

Sister Teresita's enthusiasm for the project is boundless and what has impressed her most is

that the whole student body and the sisters at the convent are so interested in its progress and have prayed so hard for it. "The first question from the students Turn to Page Eight

By Marion Unsworth A little more than two years ago Rev. Gerald Shovefton, eurate at St. Mary's Church, Taunton, suggested casually to his pastor, Monsignor James Dolan, that some assistance was needed for the Puertan Rican families in the area who \7ere unable to speak .Engpersons living in the area Ush.

Wlovelton was the person to

do something about the probl:em. Thus was created the Uuestra Senora de Guadalupe Center, which offers spiritual cmd often material aid to Spanish-speaking Catholics in (he Taunton area.

Father Shovelton's first prob12m was a basic one; he could DOt speak a word of Spanish.

Qubsequent lessons from a tutor, o high school Spanish teacher, end later from Spanish friends flYing in Taunton have made Vather quite proficient in the l3nguage. In the meantime, he [j)3id regular visits to the &lpanish-speaking families and [§)ecame thoroughly acquainted with ·them. A few began coming ~ St. Mary's Rectory for inctruction.

come to work on nearby farmS. "These p e 0 pIe feel very strange, and all alone," Father said. "They just don't know how to go about things like calling a doctor, finding jobs, contacting a priest." .

To counteract this problem, Father Shovelton has had cards printed which include his name, the name of the center, the rectory address and phone. The, apostolic nature of this work becomes obvious when it is realized that these cards are distributed by high school girls working in downtown stores, by their fathers whose occupations bring them in contact with the public, such as mailmen and policemen, and by anyone who. is willing and knows int"erested families.

This year the Center may be said to have come into full bloom. At the beginning of the school year, Sister Teresita, S.U.S.C., a Spaniard by birth, was assigned to the language department at St. Mary's High School.

Harvard Divinity School

.......................

For the Christ Child

'Worthwhile Recipes'.

Mee~ing

There is reJOlcmg over the announcement made by Cardinal Cushing that leading Catholic and Protestant theologians will meet at Harvard Divinity School next March to explore closer understanding between faiths.

The Divinity School, for two years, has enjoyed. the . presence as a visiting professor of the great English convert and world famous' historian, Christopher Dawson.

Dawson, who ranks as one of the greatest living sociologists and philo~ophers of history, has done immeasurable good in his short stay at Harvard by his scholarly contributions and by the otlier gifts of his mind and personality.

And now the School is to hold these ~onversations under the auspices of the Stillman Chair of Catholic Studies occupied by Dawson until his retirement last Summer . ' due to illness.

Invitations have been sent to the Vatican and Cardinal Cushing has expressed the hope that Cardinal Bea, the German Jesuit biblical scholar who is President of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, ,will be able to attend. Non-Catholic observers at the Ecumenical Council have taken Cardinal Bea to their hearts in recognition of his unflagging devotion to bring Catholics and nonCatholics into closer harmony wit~out compromise of principle. The Cardinal has kept in constant touch with the observers, making sure that they are well aware of Council happenings in all their significant developments. The Cardinal is also the head of the committee charged with shaping the various debate conclusions into resolutions fOl1' the Fathers' vote and Pope's approval.

This Harvard meeting could be a wonderful step forward in relations between Catholics and non-Catholics :in New England and the entire country.

Its purPoses should be the object of prayers.

The Time Has Come No one wants to get stuffy about the whole thing, but it does seem that' phonograph records and ~rtoon booklets about the First Family in the White House have reached a point of bad taste if not nausea.

Some people will say that the President has not said anything about them. But, in the American political tradition, he can really do little but grin and bear it.

These spoofs are all meant to be humorous and, DO doubt, they are. But there is a point when humor should be restrained, not by any type of censorship, but ~imply by good sense and a decent respect for those in high position.

A democracy prides itself that it is a place where a citizen can chide and criticize and enjoy humor at the expense of elected officials, even the highest in the land.

No one would want it to be otherwise. But a democracy ia also a place where personal good judgement takes the place of official censorship, and self-control is substituted for police control.

And the time 'has come, it would seem, for the canons of good taste to exercise some restraint on the "playfulness" aimed at the White H?use family.

By REV. ROBERT W. HOVDA, Catholic Universit.y TODAY-St. Nicbolaa, Bisbop, ' Confessor. "Here we have no permanent city," proclaims the first reading today. So it is not bere that our talents, our lives, work, resources, are recognized with the full knowledge and appreciation (and sympathy) we desire.

• The gospel teUs us that in'the -now" of the world and of time it is enough for us to work and to be faithful in and through our work. The person who shares this holy' meal (Mass) should be neither diverted by human praise nor damned hy human disapproval. He is not insensitive to them, nor to his brothers, but' his vision has more depth more height. He looks to a final Advent.

TOMORROW ~ St. Ambrose.

Bishop, Confessor, Doctor. The great witnesses and teachers .of Christ have been accepted as such only rarely in their lifetiDies. Usually it takes genera,tions, and sometimes centuries, for men, to comprehend their worth. No doubt many will never be known by the human race until God makes all things clear ih the kingdom of heaven.

Today's 'celebration asks the prayers of one of these witnesses who has received the recognition of the Church on earth. Conscious of his example, we gather around the altar asking God to inspire us too with new purpose and fresh vigor. '

The drawing to an end of the first sessions of the Ecumenical Council on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception will provide much speculation on the work that has thus far been accomplished by this Twenty-First General Council of the Church.

The great work is the change in attitude brought about by the Council in the minds of non-Catholics. NonCatholic observers have been delighted and amazed at the sight of free discussion among the Fathers of the Council, and sharp disagreement as well.

It is a great moralizer.

MONDAY-:'Mass as on sa. day. The moralizing continues ill the first reading from holy ~cripture. And the moral today strikes us in a sensitive spot. The very' familiaritY of this theme (the unity of the human family and the necessity of accepting one another in spite of, "racial" and cultural differences) has made it easy' for us to listen to it without ever facing its implications for our own lives ond the lives of our communities.

Here it is Jew and gentile-and their equal place in the Church: "one in spirit," praising God with "one mouth," "receiving" or accepting or befriending one another. The celebration of the Eucharist gives this message special force, acts it out at the Communion table. ' TUESDAY St. Damasus, Pope, Confessor. The structure cif the community of salvation is such that we admit our'. human brotherhood not only in our worship of the common almighty Father, but also in the tangible and concrete organization of the Church.

Each bishop is indiscriminate· father of all the faithful in hiu jurisdiction, 00 matter what their human distinctions. And the first among bishops, the pope, by virtue of his "rock"-like character and function, is a symbol of this world-wide unity.

WEDNlESDAY - Mass a.s OIl Sunday. The Bible and our public worship,' or Scripture and liturgy, are so closely related that one might aImostsay that ScriPture is liturgy and liturgy is Scripture. It is literally ~ for most of the liturgy, since most of its texts are in the words of the Bible and are taken from the Bible· Even those parts which are non-Biblical actually flow from ·the Bible texts and express their spirit.

Through Christ's designated use of water and His Almighty power, this is now an adopted child of God, far from being the simple creature of some minutes before. " , As the priest, candidate, and god-parents return from the font, the Church wants to show and illustrate through symbols what ha:! occurred.

In the beginning Baptism and Confirmation were very closely associated. T1)ey were given together most of the time so as to make up the Christian Initia-, tion. The candidate was clotheel in new garments and theD brought directly to the Bishop.

At present; this is impossible 10 do; Confirmation is put off to a later date; the Bishop cannot be everywhere so as to make the ceremony even more meaning.. ful. Yet, the Church has thought this rite important enough that she has wished it continued.

Not Confirmation Although we have said that Confirmation was associated closely with the administratlOD of Baptism, we must remember - that it always was a distindl rite, a different Sacrament. One Sacrament was not interrupted so as to administer another one.

Confirmation followed Baptism.

Later, when Confirmation was put off and the' meaningful anointing still retained, oth~ ceremones were added to give added symbolism to this all.important sacrament.

The Eastern Church, even today, permits Confirmation to be administered together with Ba~ tism. For that, the Priest who ill baptizing also is given the power to Confirm. Our Western ChurCh has insisted on the distinction and has allowed only the Bishop to confirm· To emphaticall,. show this, Confirmation is pm off. (Except that pastors may confirm in strict emergencies)..

There are very good reasons for both sides. However, we must ever be on our guard not 10 C9mpletely 'disassociate these two Sacraments because of the delay., Canon Law still supposes that Confirmation will be a~ ministered before the reception of First Communion. It is meanfl to be a perfection of Baptism, to strengthen one so that he may normally receive and. cooperate with the other Sacraments.

Anointing . We have seen the symbolism of anointing with oil to be closely associated with the idea of healing, strengthening, vitalit)'t.

This was the idea the Church wanted to convey in the previoWl anointings in the administraticm of this great Sacrament.

Here, however, the Church has another teaching to convey. Dip your finget into some oil and then press it against a sheet of paper. Notice the print. Now, rub it off. You cannot? It .. marked forever?

Christened This is exac'tly the idea the Church wished to impress UpOD the candidate. This adminis~ tion of Baptism had radica1lJ' changed the person. He too .. marked: greater will be his reward or perdition because 0llI what has just o<;curred.

It is from the Sacrament of Gnnfirmation-strongly referred' b in this rite, that the Christian ~aws his right to have a true cdive part in the offering of llilass and of consecrating as a \location his own particular ~ork in the world.

He served from November 1953 and purchased the former Purrington estate on Main Street as a rectory. , In 1957 the church's youth center was dedicated by Bishop Connolly. Formerly a barn at the rear of the rectory, its formal opening climaxed years of planning and more than one year of voluntary work by men and women of the parish under the direction of Father Veary.

The center is available to an Mattapoisett youth without restriction. Its indoor activities include ping-pong, basketball, games, dancing and a snack bar.

Outside facilities include tennis and basketball courts.

The center is also used for a kindergarten staffed by the Sisters of the Love of God.

"We should, bring the high school down into the grade school and the grade school up into the high school," he said.

The ungraded primary school, departmental teaching of subjects and experimentation with television and other audio-visual aids will help answer the education problem today, he suggested.

Teter first was turned down fur the job at the local post office. Then he sought help from the area branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. After the ACLU spoke with postal officers, he was given .a form in which 'the mention of God was crossed out.

Prelate Suggests Church Observe 'Scse1r'ilce Sunday~

MILAN (NC)-Truth is tho characteristic quality of the Catholic press, Bernard Cardinal Alfrink, Archbishop of Utrecht, said during ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary of Milan's Catholic daily newspaper, L'It-' alia.

The Cardinal said that "reporting must be truthful for the: press in general, but more par-:ticularly for the Catholic press,. which must set the example in. this particular .sphere. The' Church' is catholic, that is to say~ . universal. . "The Catholic paper will form opinions in a Christian spirit, . and, since the paper acts as a: .. guide for the ordinary reader,' the chief task of the Catholic press is the noble task of enlightenment.

"A Catholic paper can have no other interest than to influence' the minds of Catholics through a'deeply felt faith and to an en- ' lightened vision of the world, of man ahd of his life."

VATICAN CITY (NC)Auxiliary Bishop Fulton J. Sheen of New York has suggested worldwide observance

of a "SCience Sunday" to thank God for the technical advances made in this century.

Bishop Sheen made the suggestion in an interview published here by the Vatican City daily, L'Osservatore Romano.

He said: .

"All scientific progress represents a type of revelation of God Himself, though not a@revelation, it is clear, of His divinity."

'The Bishop said it was a revelation, nevertheless, since it ~ the spirit of God, which enables man to discover the mys-, teries which He has hidden in nature.

Council Choices In Revelation Discu!)sion

Way TeJ) ~mproYe Poor Re~~[!'ting

VATICAN CITY (Ne)The Ecumenical Council may adopt one of two views as a result of its debate on the relationship between scripture and tradition as sources of divine revelation.

Rev. Georges Tavard, A.A., of the Pittsburgh diocese, said in a press interview here that the two views are: .

That scripture and tradition nppear as two sources of faith or as two sources of revelation.

That tradition and scripture are not. two sources standing side by side, but that tradition is the explanation of scripture by the Church.

• ''.,~, 1<.",'~ • Father Tavard said that the i i post-Refonnation view sometimes include's the idea that tra" dition not only contains the same truths as scripture but other truths as well.

I ..I He said the older view holds that all of faith is in scripture, :1 as interpreted by tradition, and all faith is In tradition, but in a more explicit, way.

During the past 10 years, he said, there has been an impressive movement within the BIRTHDAY AT MISSIONARY PROPAGANDA COLLEGE: Pope John chats with World Council of Churches, to recover the concept of tradition. Cardinal Gracias of India; Cardinal Rugambwa of Africa; and Archbil}hop Dante of the "If we adopt a theology seeing Congregation of Rites,' during his birthday visit to the Mission College. tradition as something com-' pletely separate :from scripture, we should run the danger of moving too far away from' a position which the Protestants are approaching," Father Tavard _ Doted.

ROM E (NC) - Diocesan bureaus of information are the answer to the problem of "inaccurate Church reporting."

Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken of San F I' a n cis c 0, speaking· at the Ecumenical Council's debate on communica_ tions media, noted that bureau~ are not publicity offices "for what might be called selfish purposes." He said diocesan information bureaus serve a useful function, "providing newspapermen with the information they desire."

The Archbishop is chairman ok: the National Catholic Welfare Confer~nce Press Department in Washington, D.C. ,"Because of information bureaus, we get a better press, n more accurate press and a more sympathetic press," he said.

Uln years gone by," he recalled, "we lamented that newspaper stories of Catholic eventa were often poorly done. It took us a little time to realize that .it was not so much the fault o£ the journalists as our own fault."

Out of all who dropped mOtley into the treasury. of' the Temple, it was the woman . 'who gave two penies' on whom Our Lord's eyes' dwelt with the greatest love. In the same spirit, notice that tile "God Love You's" we extend to those who make sacrifices are usually for small amounts, but they axe offerings wrapped with tremendous love of the Church and the Missions. Those who have great possessions find them hard to paxt with for' spiritual purposes. But those who give the little they have part with more, because they give- a greater percentage of wealth, and they do it gladly. . There is a bealltiful rabbinical story that when MOlreS was tending Jethro's flock in Midian, 8 kid went astray. He sought it and found it drinking at a spring.

Council Fathers Await Schemas 'fi1 F~~a~ form Turn to Page Seventeen questions require deeper studiand study requires time.

The lengthy recess of Vatican 11 should also strike a death blow to those gloomy pre-council. rumors that the Second Vatican Council would rush through It» work, rubber-stamping everything before it. The facts have proved otherwise.

Orientel Church On the other hand, the pace of the Council could be called anything but slow! After a brief and rather agreeable discussion on the Communications Media, . the Council Fathers sent their views to the Commission for 0 final draft, and then swung into a very positive discussion on the Unity of the Church. Although this schema limits itself only to problems of unity with the Oriental churches which are separated from Rome, many Council Fathers felt that the principles laid down in this draft were a good foundation for unity at all levels, with all the separated brethren. .

There was no minimizing, according to the official reports, the essential unity which already exists in the Catholic Church In matters of faith, worship and authority. But this unity was now being presented in a fresh way, in terms that could be understood by the Oriental Rites.

Opinions Differ Some of the bishops, 1ft was revealed, favored a comprehensive statement on unity that would address itself to all the separated brethren Instead of primarily to the Orientals. Although the Protestants will be treated later under a separate heading, it was felt that one complete pronouncement on Christian unity would be better than one In installments.

This schema on the Unity of the Church (which bore the subtitle "That All May Be One") after several days of debate was sent by $ unanimous vote to the Oriental Commission for correcting and drafting.

As the time-clock on the first session of Vatican n began to run out, the pace seemed to quicken even more. On one morning alone, nine separate votes were taken on the first chapter of th" liturgy draft. Utilizing a system that eliminates the need for any blanket voting, the bishops were asked to vote on each section of the draft. A section includes about 20 lines.

Th[odern nlethods The bishops write their Yes or No with special lead pencils. on perforated IBM cards. The cards are collected by the ushers and then fed in electronic computers which whirr and click like the N.B.C. newsroom on election night-and then, in u matter of minutes, shoot out the final tabulations.

The tabulations of the votes to date have recorded an overwhelming "Placet" (approval) for the drafts. If this type of voting continues, reliable sources say, the Church will have definitely committed itself to a real up-dating.

But while the Church's minor ailments are being skillfully diagnosed and cured, the physical health of its members w not within the province of m council to cure. Pope John, the Inspiration for this great coun-

Pope's Health Chief Conversation Topif Protestants and Jews Solicitous for Pontiff cn, has been suffering acutely in the last fortnight. The daily papers ran stories of an operating room being prepared in the Vatican Palace, on the hUrTied arrival of 11 specialist from Bologna, and on the nature of his illness.

Pontiff's D1ness Following the cancellation of his regular" weekly audience, concern for the Pope's health became the chief topic of conversation. Meanwhile, thousands of telegrams and letters poured into the Vatican, wishing the Holy Father a speedy recovery.

A good number of them, surprisinglY,came from Protestants and Jews. Perhaps these "separated brethren" recalled the words that Pope John spoke to them at the historic audience for the non-Catholic observers to the Council. "There burns in my herat," the pontiff confided to them, "the intention of working and suffering to hasten the hour when for all men the prayer of Jesus at the Last Supper will have reached its fulfillment."

But, at week's end, Pope John was up and about, weaker from his painful confinement, but giving every Indication of a good recovery.

Recovery On his 81st birthday last week, the Holy Father celebrated Mass at the missionary seminary, the Urban College for the Propagation of the Faith. Feeling even then the wearyin'g strain of these last hectic weeks, and showing evidence of the symptoms that would so quickly send him to his sick bed, Pope John remarked during his birthday talk to the students that "every day is a good day tn be born,

]By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. ][ellUllledy With Thanksgiving past, the prospect of Christmas is . upon us. That means gift-giving, which, in tut:n, means gift-selection. In the hope that he may be helpful to some who are perplexed as to what to give to Cousin Rosalie, Uncle Mortimer, and that nice Father Hannibal down mended as a gift to older boys at St. Winifred's, the re- and young men~ COLUMBAN by Franviewer has drawn up a list cisSAINT MacManus (Sheed and Ward.

."

of books, along with brief commentary as to the character and . eontents of each. The list is as follow: A THOMAS MERTON READER, edited by Thomas P. McDonnell (Harcourt, Brace and World. $5.75).

This is a very carefully I ' , crafted anthol- f' ogy covering the ' '-whole range of Father Merton's writings: autobiography, verse, asc,etical and devotional,. etc., There is an intensely interesting foreword, in which the author reflects on his career and his work. An uncommonly gifted writer, he has in some of his books been plethoric. But here there is shrewd selection, which bnparts more leanness and im. pact than was sometimes evident in the originals. This book is a u-easury which the lucky recipient will repeatedly :t:ansack.

NEWMAN: THE PILLAR OF THE Cr;OUD by Meriol Trevor (Doubleday. $7.95). Miss Trevor has produced the most complete detailed biography of Cardinal Newman to date. This volume, the first of two, recreates his life from his birth to 1853, almost a decade after his conversion and at the period of his seeming eclipse.

Here we have much more than (l prodigious mass of facts. There Is, as well, penetrating and judi- cious interpretation, and the author evidences a nice appreciation of Newman's relationship to his own and subsequent times.

A giant of a book about a giant of a' man.

CHRISTIANITY IN MODERN ART by Frank and Dorothy Getlein. (Bruce. $5). The divorce between the Church and contemporary painting, sculpture, etc. is scandalous and deplorable. It need \lever have existed, and it can be ended. The' authors argue the case trenchantly', and, with the help of numerous illustrations, show how the modern artist can convey spiritual truth and divine mystery in brilliant fashion. :JOHN LANCASTER SPALDING by John Tracy Ellis (Bruce. $2.75). The first Bishop of Peoria had a las'ting influence on Catholic education in the United States. This brief study introduces us to him and his accomplishments.

CARYLL HOUSELANDER by Maisie Ward (Sheed and Ward. $4.95). Miss Houselander was' one of the most original and in. cisive spiritual writers of our time. She was also a com'plex personality and somethingOof a ·saint. This book is too long and diffuse, but it brings out strongly the salient characteristics of a remarkable woman.

BISHOP WALSH OF MARYKNOLL: PRISONER OF RED China by Ray Kerrison (Putnam. $4.95). Bishop James Edward Walsh; one of the first recruits to Maryknoll,. is still, so far as we know, alive in a Red Chinese prison. His steadfast witness to Christ, in good times and bad, is an inspiring story, and here it is told in full. Especially recom-

$3.95). The life and labors of u pioneer missionary are delightfully rehearsed in this superbly written book, which givcif us the man instead of the myth, and makes his ·times, remote from our own, real and intelligible.

FATHER MOREAU by Gary MacEoin (Bruce. $3.50); The founder of the Holy Cross congregation wrought wonders of organization and suffered grievous failure and even disgrace.

Reading his history, as here more tban competently se~ out, we are reminded that God's design often involves the scattering of our accomplishments and the ruin of our reputation in order that his purpose be achieved.

O'NEILL by Arthur and Barbara Gelb (Harper. $12.50). This is an exhaustive presentation of America's greatest dramatist.

Eugene O'Neill's life, the raw material of all his plays, was more bizarre and terrible than any of the dramas. A key cause of the disorder and the agony was the loss of faith, suffered in the early years. Although the authors do not comprehend the whole meaning of this, they do take more than transient note of it.

DAUGHTER OF THE HOUSE

by Evelyn Ames (Houghton Mifflin. $5). Mrs. Ames grew up in a New England city at a time when the well·to-do lived an especially privileged life and had a very special position. She gets onto the page the substance, color, feeling of a vanished and society, and shows us closeup her extraordinary parents.

One of ,the best written b06ks of the year, and one of the most distinctive and memorable· AROUND THE GLOBE IN 20 YEARS by Irena Wiley (McKay. $4.95). In reciting her adven-, tures in many parts of the world as wife to an American diplomat, Mrs. Wiley gives us a book of a kind almost extinct: Le., the gay, chatty, vastly amusing memoir.

But, while highly entertaining, this is not a giddy affair. Mrs. Wiley was well aware of the tragedy occurring about her in this tumultuous age, and her remarks on it are sensible.

THE COUNCIL, REFORM AND REUNION by Hans Kueng (Sheed and Ward. $3.95). Here is by far the best book about the present Council. It analyzes the task confronting the assemblage of bishops: the goals to be reached and the most likely means of reaching them. For an understanding of what is taking place in Rome, Father Kueng's extended essay is a must.

The first money came from American soldiers stationed there during World War II. They are proud of their chapel, but they realize that a school is necessary too If their children are to preserve their ancient faith surrounded and far outnumbered by their Mohammedan neighbors. So they ask our help . . .

The cost is $4,000. Their struggle hils been long and painful. .... but, like the journey of the MAGI, not without hope •.. We are their hope. Will you help them? Send what you can,please.

NEWS MAKING YOU JITTERY? Recall the mal'ftlous journey of the young Tobias with his guiding angel, Raphael, who led him safely through all his difficulties ... Part of the angel's advice was to give alms against the evil day. Perhaps we should take that advice and be' protected as Tobias was . . . Why not send your alms, some small sacrifice w our Association for the missionary priests and sisters ... If you mark it a STRINGLESS GIFT, we'll place it where it is most needed. Thus you can be a ministering angel to these missionary workers who are poor among the poor.

CHRISTMAS PLANS Why not use 'our GIFT CARDS? Send- your donation to the missions. Give us the name of a friend in whose name the donation is being given •.• We'll send him or her a GIFT CARD before Christmas, telling what you have done.

DURING ADVENT, please 'remember our missionary priests .with MASS OFFERINGS. Often these are their only income • .. A MASS STIPEND keeps a missionary priest for one day.

Gets Top Grades There's no question about Lopes' academic ability. According to UMass officials, he had adjusted .very well to collegiate life. He was among the top 25 students taking the advanced placement tests at the university so he has been privileged to take ~o sophomore c~urses. At that,

he might have been taking three except that he did not have an; calculus as a high schooler. He's a zoology major, and so far has been getting top grades.

A bug on physical fitness, Lopes wound up eighth in a field of more than 80 at a physiCql fitness meet conducted at Sargent Field in New Bedford last Spring. For that he received a medal.

At IDaily Mass In the state schoolboy cros~ country championships a year ago, Carl copped fifth place hone ors in the Class E field. His Marthas-Vineyard Regional teammate, Ray Smalley romped home first.. ' Carl's industrious too· During the Summer he' worked in the Vineyard Haven food store where .his father is assistant manager. The money he earned-" has enabled to further his education at UMass.

Mr. Lopes confided that he willingly put aside his paycheck every week because he was so determined to further his educat.ion.

Young Lopes is also a very devout Catholic. A communicant of St. Augustine's Church in Vineyard Haven, he attends Mass every morning at the University's Catholic chapel. He also belongs to the Newman Club. In addition to his keen intellectual interests and his strong love for cross country and track, Carl finds time to get in a little dancing and to log in some classical music listening time.

Has Great Courage While it's true that Carl Lopes may never set any runn.ing marks at UMass, it's certain he'll always be across the finishing line. That's because he has tremendous courage and the indomitable will to better him. self at whatever he undertakes.

Carl Lopes is a perfect example of the kind of young man America can point to with pride.

Marthas Vineyard is certainly proud of him.

Church Homage of Mulatto Strong Refutation of ,Segregationists

,r

NEW YORK (NC) ~ The bornage paid by the Church to St. Martin de Porres, a mulato, is a refutation and rebuke , for segregationists, says Father Walter M. Abbott, S.J., feature editor of America magazine.

"The canonization of St. Martin de Porres, mulatto, on last May 6 is the Church's infallible answer to racists who would be Christians," Father Abbott observed.

Peru, who died in 1639, Father Abbott, who has specialized in Biblical studies, said some Catholics, and others are "making weird ,use of the Bible" in attempting to justify racial segregation and' other unchristian practices on the basis of Scriptural p.assages.

And, he added, while "the segregationist makes great use of the Old Testaq,ient, the Ne\y, (Testament) gives him nothing to work with." He referred to the parable of the Good Samaritan and St. Paul's declaration that "there is neither Greek nor Jew, bond nor free, but Christ is. all in all" as instances of the rejection of racism in the New Testament.

Further, he declared, it is Catholic doctrine "that Christ sent the Spirit to speak authori-
