i Question Box (Continued From Page Four) siduously contemplate the di vine mysteries and eternal truths and pour out ardent and continual prayers to God that His kingdom may flourish . . . but who also atone for the sins of other men, still more than for their own, by mortification, prescribed or voluntary, of mind and body — such must be said to have chosen the better part.” THE PHRASE “the better part,” was used by our Divine Lord in admonishing Martha of Bethany, who was “distracted by waiting on many needs”: “Martha, Martha, how many cares and troubles thou hast! But only one thing is necessary; and Mary has chosen the better part of all, that which shall nev er be taken from her.” (St. Luke X: 42) Here Christ singled out Mar tha as a type of the active life; Mary, of the contemplative. And, although the former is good, the latter is of its nature more noble, for it will not cease with death but will last forever. BESIDES objectively trans cending the active life in rank, the contemplative life is in it self of greater meritorious and practical value. OF GREATER MERITORI OUS value, because the love of God is generically more meri torious than love of neighbor for God’s sake. But the contem plative life pertains more im mediately to love of God. Thus, it is.of more merit. OF GREATER PRACTICAL value,' simply because union with the First Cause of all grace, without whom even the most skilled preacher (who is but an instrument of divine favor) could possibly win a single soul to good. “Hands uplifted,” wrote Bos- suet, “rout more battalions than hands that strike.” “I want Trappists,” demanded a famed Chinese bishop; “I even want them to abstain from all exteri or ministry in order that nothing may distract them from the work of prayer, penance, and sacred studies.” “Ten Carmelite nuns, praying,” declared anoth er missionary bishop, “will be of greater help to me than twen ty missionaries, preaching.” NO ONE REALLY KNOWS the reason underlying the con version of a heathen, for exam ple. in the darkest corner of the world. Yet surely linked to ev ery such conversion, or to the heroic suffering of another soul under persecution for his faith, are the silent prayers and sac rifices of an obscure cloistered monk or nun.

(NC Photos) WORLD CONFUSION, BORN OF MORAL BREAKDOWN, NOT SPUTNIKS, IS GREAT CONCERN, 'GLACIER PRIEST' STATES By A1 Antczak (N. C. W. C. NEWS SERVICE) HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — From the summit of his 70 years, Jesuit Father Bernard Hubbard, sees great confusion in the world he has explored for half a century. The “Glacier Priest” was here for a few days to participate in NBC’s nationwide television pro gram “This Is Your Life” which presented (April 30) the story of his life. His face showing the reflec tiveness of a man who has spent much time in northern solitudes, Father Hubbard answered ques tions unhurriedly in the study of Blessed Sacrament rectory. “We’re in a great state of confusion. We’re letting a few Sputniks and a lot of fire crackers hinder our mental pro cesses,” he said. “People are practically ascribing preter natural powers to these devices. “True, among them are the most destructive weapons we’ve had, but Almighty God has His way of taking care of things. “I’m not nearly so concerned about war and foreign policy as I am about the moral break down we are experiencing. There is a great deal of con fused thinking, lack of morality and lack of respect for authority. We . see it, for instance, in so many and so revolting teenage crimes.” Fr.

Hubbard suffered a stroke. “After the stroke there was only one thing I wanted to do: say Mass. God’s been good to me. I can say Mass,” he said. He has regained partial use of his left hand and said he takes daily exercise with Santa Clara University’s trainer Henry Schmidt. Father Hubbard is now devo ting his time at Santa Clara to editing the 1,500,000 feet of film he has shot in his travels, plus his 250,000 still photos, “some shot 55 years ago,” he said. “They’ve never been cata- louged before,” the Jesuit com mented. “I’m editing them and hope to make educational, scientific and travel films for schools. The films include not only the Arctic, but a wide range of subjects from the Oberammergau Passion Play to World War'll.” The Jesuit explorer said he hoped some realistic plan for Arctic inspection would be worked out from the proposal made by President Eisenhower. “The Arctic, not the Antarctic, constitutes the most important piece of geography in the world today,” he said. “It offers the shortest distance between two propsective points. And it’s a no man’s land.” Air, radar and land observa tion could detect any war moves in Europe or over any land mass, “but it is impossible to do anything with the moving jig saw puzzel of ice that is the Arctic,” Father Hubbard said. “Any prospective attack, or defense, will come from the Arctic,” he commented. “The U. S. has done some wonderful reconnaissance up there. So have the Russians.” Fr. Hubbard does not believe war will come, “but you can never tell when madmen are at work and God is out of the picture.” The priest who has probed the world’s far corners in 50 years of scientific work said that “the world now is trying much to run itself with dark intellects and weak wills. It is very much in need of grace and the sacraments.” During the TV show “This Is Your Life,” Fr. Hubbard was surprised by the appearance of close friends from various phases of his life. Ralph Edwards’ show flew in Mrs. Anton Lang, widow of Anton Lang who played Christ in the Oberammergau Passion Play. Fr. Hubbard had befriended the Langs during his time in Europe in the 1920’s. Others who appeared included Rod and Ken Chisholm, and Ed Levin, his companions on various Alaskan explorations. Another surprise guest was Charlie Mayac, Fr. Hubbard’s former Eskimo guide. Final guest was Gen. A. C. Wedemeyer who came from his home in Boyds, Md., to pay tribute to Fr. Hubbard for “early alerting our soldiers to the danger of communism, not hysterically, but in a common sense way that was grasped by our soldiers.” Fr. Hubbard is still an out door man. “In three weeks I’m going back to Alaska,” he said. Wisdom Of God Never Fails To Provide Remedy To Evil And Sickness, Pope Says Bishop Ireton Praised For His Devotion To Holy Name m And Most Blessed Sacrament VATICAN CITY, (NC) — Al though God permits evil and sickness, He “never fails to pro vide at the same time the reme dy and the medicine” for them. His Holiness Pope Pius XII made this observation in speak ing on the wisdom of God. He was talking to a group .of Span ish pilgrims who had come to Rome to attend the ceremonies of beautification for Blessed Teresa de Jesus Jornet e Ibars, Spanish foundress of the Little Sisters of the Abandoned Aged. The group was led by His Emi nence Fernando Cardinal Quiro- ga y Palacios, Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela. The Holy Father told the pil grims that if, during the second half of the last century, the wis dom of God allowed social and political upheavals to take place in Spain with such widespread repercussions in the ecclesiasti cal and religious fields, “it also generously raised up many chosen souls so that, like the leaven in the Gospel, they would give good fermentation to the dough.” “Some of these souls are now, or will be before long, the ob ject of veneration on the altars,” His Holiness continued. “Others, like your beloved Mother and foundress, Teresa de Jesus Jor net e Ibars, are in the process of obtaining a similar high hon or and We proclaim Our per sonal satisfaction in having been able to grant it to her.” “At the same time,” the Pope said, “We recommend her as an example to all and more es pecially to you, her' daughters and followers.” In a separate audience the Pontiff received Spanish Mini ster of Finance Mariano Navar ro Rubio, who headed a special mission that came to Rome to attend the beatification cere monies.

RICHMOND, Va„ (NC) — At tention was called to Bishop Peter L. Ireton’s devotion to the Holy Name and to the Blessed Sacrament at the Pontifical Re quiem Mass here for the ninth Bishop of Richmond. Bishop John J. Russell of Charleston, S. C., in the sermon at the Mass, reviewed some of Bishop Ireton’s activities, in cluding his efforts to expand the Holy Name Society and en courage laymen to participate in the Noctural Adoration Soci ety. Archbishop Francis P. Keough of Baltimore was celebrant of the Mass, offered in Sacred Heart Cathedral here. Bishop Ireton, 75, who ad ministered the Richmond dio cese for 23 years, died (April 27) at Georgetown Hospital, Wash ington, D. C., from complica tions that occurred after a fall on April 18 at Mary mount Ju nior College in Arlington, Va., a Washington, D. C., suburb that is in the Richmond diocese. Absolutions after the Re quiem Mass were given by Archbishop Keough; Bishop Vincent S. Waters of Raleigh, N. C.; Bishop Lawrence J. Shehan of Bridgeport, Conn.; Auxiliary Bishop John J. Mc Namara of Washington, and Auxiliary Bishop Joseph H. Hodges of Richmond. Bishop Russell pointed out in his sermon that Bishop Ireton’s activities in behalf of the Holy Name Society began when he was serving as a parish priest in Baltimore, his native city, and continued after he became administrator of the Richmond diocese. Bishop Russell said Bishop Ireton had “written a page of achievement which will perpet uate his memory in the annals of the Holy Name Society . . .” “As (Baltimore) Archdiocesan Director of the Holy Name So ciety, working with his fellow- priests, he was instrumental in developing a most successful Holy Name Union composed of active societies in all parishes in Baltimore, in Washington (then in the Baltimore See), and in rural areas of the archdio cese . . . “In the cause of the Holy Name he travelled all over the diocese, attending one or two meetings every week for many years. He organized rallies, pro cessions and outdoor demonstra tions of faith in the cities and in the country areas. Baltimore’s annual parade of the Feast of Christ the King filled the arm ory every year with some 20 thousand Holy Name men,” said Bishop Russell. The speaker praised Bishop Ireton’s devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. The first diocesan Noctural Adoration Society was established by the Bishop at the Cathedral in Richmond, and later the movement was intro duced in six other areas of the diocese. “From the very beginning of his priestly career,” Bishop Rus sell said, “zeal which is the flo wer of love was evidenced in desire to spend and be spent for souls. And today may we ex press the hope that those who were its beneficiaries may be witnesses for him unto Christ as he was a witness for Christ unto them.” At the request of Bishop Ire ton, expressed in his will, burial took place in the crypt of the Richmond Cathedral under the high altar. Auxiliary Bishop Hodges has been administrator of the Rich mond diocesan board of con- suitors. He will serve until a successor to Bishop Ireton is named by His Holiness Pope Pius XII. The Diocese of Richmond in cludes most of Virginia and eight counties in West Virginia. The number of Catholics more than tripled during Bishop Ire ton’s term of 23 years and now totals more than 135,000. He was ordained a priest in 1906 and served in the Archdio cese of Baltimore until named Coadjutor Bishop and Apostolic Administrator of Richmond in 1935. He succeeded to the Rich mond see on April 14, 1945. SET ASIDE The only buried treasures most people have are the good resolutions they have laid away. East Point Ford Co. 1230 N.

THE BULLETIN, May 17, 1958—PAGE 5 Theology for The Layman (Continued From Page Four) tain things but they are a mere drop in the ocean of things it doesn’t know: its knowing is limited. So is its loving. So is its power. There are none of these limits in God — He is all- knowing, all-loving, all-power ful. We shall return to these but only after looking again at the difference we mentioned first— namely the soul owes its exist ence to God. He brought it into existence, holds it in existence, could reduce it to nothing again (but He has told us He will not). To have no hold of one’s own upon existence is the most lim iting limitation of all, and marks the greatest difference between the finite spirit which is our soul and the infinite spirit which is God. Bernard Shaw tells of asking' a priest “Who made God?” The priest was thunder-struck, his faith shattered. Whether he committed suicide or merely left the Church Shaw does not tell. But the whole thing is ridicu lous. Every student of philoso phy has heard the question: and they all know that there must be a being which did not need to be made. If' nothing existed except receivers of existence, where would the existence come from? In order that anything may exist, there must be a being which does not have to receive existence, a being which simply has it. God can confer existence upon all other beings, precise ly because He has it in His own right. It is His nature to exist. God does not have to receive ex istence, because He is existence. Now we understand the name God gave Himself. The story is in the third chapter of Exodus. God had appeared to Moses in the burning bush. When Moses asked Him His name, God said “I am who am. Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: He who is hath sent me to you.” This is God’s name for Himself, I AM. Our name for Him is HE IS. (The Hebrew word for this is Jahveh. The Jews, out of reverence, avoided writing God’s name in full, they wrote the consonants only JHVA. Somebody in the 13th Century made a bad guess at the missing vowels and produced the word Jehovah. Actually there is no such word, which is hard luck for Jehovah’s Witnesses). That is the primary truth about God. He is. He exists, with all that existence in its fulness can mean. We shall look deeper into that.
