BOOK REVIEWS EDITED BY EILEEN HALL 3087 Old Jonesboro Road, Hapeville, Georgia Each issue of this Book Page is confided io fhe patronage of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces, with the hope that every read er and every contributor may be specially favored by her and her Divine Son. MY LAST BOOK, by James M. Giilis, C.S.P., edited by Jos eph McSorley, C.S.P., a selec tion of the Spiritual Book As sociates (Kenedy, $3.95). Father Giilis, of the Paulist Fathers, “perhaps the most not ed American Catholic journalist of his time,” was 80 years old when he died on March 14, 1957. He had been a priest for 56 years. H i s syndicated column, Sursum Corda, had appeared in The Bulletin and many other Catholic papers, over a period of 25 years. He had taught Church History and theology, had preached and lectured, had edited The Catholic World, had spoken on NBC’s Catholic Hour, and had authored nine books, the latest being This Mysterious Human Nature. During the long months of this gifted priest’s last illness, knowing that he was near the end of his busy life, he wrote this book, which is published on the first anniversary of his death. In a foreword, he said: “ ‘Meditations’ would be per haps too ambitious a word to describe the contents of this lit tle book. Shall we say rather ‘Thoughts,’ or ‘Opinions,’ or ‘Re flections,’ or ‘Musings’? What ever designation seems best, the writer hopes that these infor mal jottings may serve the pur pose of some readers who are looking not for a set of carefully elaborated meditations but for hints and suggestions.” His “jottings” are brief, chat ty tidbits of wisdom, on all sorts of subjects, gleaned from his long, full life of service. The collection is “a sort of minia ture spiritual autobiography,” as the editor says; “. . . permeated with recurrent mention of truths which had been the scaf folding of his own inner life and the inspiration of his priestly activities . . . (such as) the high worth of nature and natural, virtue; the wide spread of the sacramental principle that dis closes God’s gifts and even God DON'T MISS . . .

Monday Nights Himself, present and active not only in the Incarnation, the Church, the Mass, but always and everywhere; the indispen- sibility of the cross . . . The les sons here presented . . . will echo, as they were meant to echo, from heart to heart, from mind to mind — hearts that seek peace, minds that seek truth.” They are a priceless legacy from the generous heart and the active mind of the modern American apostle, teacher, and spiritual director. THE LORD'S PRAYER, by Romano Guardini, translated from the German by Isabel Mc Hugh (Pantheon, $2.75). “Anyone who undertakes to comment upon the Lord’s Prayer joins an illustrious line which goes a long way back,” Monsig nor Guardini begins his preface. “For, from the first century on wards, Christian thinkers and men of prayer have been seek ing to explore to its depths this purest expression of Christ’s in most being . . . We feel daunted by the great men who have gone before us; but the words of rev elation call each age to in terpret them afresh . . .” So, this great contemporary thinker and man of prayer, pro fessor of philosophy at the Uni versity of Munich, who is inter nationally known for his writ ings which interpret religious truths in modern terms, proceeds to explore, phrase by phrase, the great prayer with which Jesus responded to the request, “Lord, teach us to pray.” He ap plies the familiar words, too of ten grown monotonous by repe tition, to current problems and modern psychology, probing their depths and drawing out hidden treasures of meaning. In doing so, he goes from the humblest analogies such as the comparison of God’s love with a mother’s love (“What does a mother yearn for, and what is her supreme delight? She has given life to her child; she has given it out from herself, to live and breathe as an independent being. Now it is growing up; the little human life is unfolding . . . What is the mother’s su preme delight now? The fact that this child turns back to her with its first smile, its first word, its first step ... In the same way God yearns for His creation, for humanity, to turn back to Him by word and look, by the motion of its love . . .); to the highest truths which can not be known “in the abstract; one must realize them in prayer and in love. That is why the Christian lets go of everything which spells security, rights, demonstrable common sense. But it is precisely in doing this that he achieves harmony with the love of God ... a union which is stronger than all securi ty ... In the measure that he renounces security and surren ders himself freely to the love of God, in that same measure does he experience a confidence beyond all reason, and a hope beyond all security.

BROOKHAVEN SHOE STORE Next To Woolworlh's SHOE HEADQUARTERS IN BROOKHAVEN new kind of reason, which has been released into the space opened by love, comes into his kin.” THE MEETING OF LOVE AND KNOWLEDGE, by M. C. D’Arcy, S. J., (Harper, $3.00). THE CHRIST OF FAITH, by Karl Adam, (Pantheon, ($6.00). (Reviewed by Flannery O’Connor) Following Arnold Toynbee, Aldous Huxley and others, there is much current interest in a syncretist religion which would incorporate what Huxley calls “the perennial wisdom” ■— the highest common ideals in Hin duism, Buddhism and Christi anity. Father D’Arcy’s reasoned argument is that, though there is much to be gained from the East, there is no highest com mon denominator among these religions. With the Eastern re ligions it is a matter of extin guishing individuality and de sire; with the Christian of ful filling them. “Without per sons and personality there is no Christian religion, and its philosophy centers around this thought that, whereas in brute matter anonymity reigns rather than individuality, as we as cend the scale, separate individ ualities emerge until in man selfhood is found, the image of that life where the richest per sonality abounds.” In Buddhism this world and the self are fin ally of no account. The best way to understand the uniqueness of Christianity is by a proper Christology. Al though not concerned with syn cretist thought, Karl Adam’s The Christ of Faith provides the best argumentation of the impossi bility of Christianity’s being fused into a syncretist religion. This book is a Christology of the living Church, based on tra dition and dogma rather than on a reconstruction of Christ’s times as in Daniel-Rops’ Jesus And His Times or on spiritual intuition as in Monsignor Guar- dini’s The Lord. Its base of ope ration is the fact that the Church knows Christ “out of her living self-awareness which through the centuries is its own ever re newed testimony.” It is par ticularly valuable in. its criti cism of the errors of liberal the ology, pointing out that the tex tual critic assumes that Chris tianity is something finished and inflexible and has poured all its vitality into its literature and foundations and become fossil ized in them. The Chrisi of Faiih is a master work by one of the Church’s greatest living theolo gians. A CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE, by Bernard Wuellner, S. J. (Bruce, $4.15). Father Wuellner, professor of philosophy at John Carroll Uni versity and former associate edi tor of Jesuii Educational Quar terly, demonstrates that the spec ulations of philosophers down through the ages have a practi cal value for man. His book challenges the reader to con sider the fundamental issues in human life and to come to basic decisions on its meaning and conduct. He' presents the chief problems of human life, along with the principles needed to help the mature reader make intelligent decisions about them. Cutting across all the border lines of the various branches of philosophy, the author turns the spotlight on human life as a theme common to all philosophi cal thought and of vital con cern to every thinking person. More specifically, the book sets the stage for an analysis of the varied problems and issues of human living. One at a time, the author takes up the nature of human life; its origin, its purpose, the dignity of human personality, the pattern of hu man relationships to physical nature, to God and to human society, conflicts of living and the expansion of natural life into life of grace. Father Wuellner is convinced that the twentieth century phi losophy cannot remain unaware of the lessons of history. There fore the modern philosophy can not ignore the truths which Christian theology has added to the conclusion that can be reached through reason alone. While optimistically viewing life as the God-given means for man to work out his destiny in a way suited to an intelligent and free creature, the author also realizes that life has its sorrows, sufferings, cruelties, and evils. In brilliant fashion he has dealt with the attitudes that should characterize the Chris tian in the face of suffering.
