THE SAINTS AND OUR CHILDREN, by Mary Reed Newland (Kenedy, $3.95). (Reviewed by Margot Atwood) “Parents must spend them selves teaching their children about God,” says author Mary Reed Newland. Her latest book is a valuable asset in that task. It goes far beyond a mere col lection of lives of the saints. By examining the training and teaching given by the parents of such saints as John Bosco, Dominic Savio, Therese of Lix- ieux, Maria Goretti, and Berna dette Soubirous, valuable les sons in faith, obedience, humil ity, chastity and self-control are taught. Excellent discussions on such everyday parent-child problems as the following, are included:. fighting or bullying (how to help both sides), popu larity and nonconformity, sex education, dirty stories, safe guards of purity, specific self- denial for the building of cha racter in youth. Workable sug gestions are offered. Direct advice from St. John Bosco, St. Thomas More, Bless ed Claude de la Colombiere, Sister Josef a Menedez, is as timely as if written today. Il lustrations of such virtues as patience, modesty, love of God and neighbor are found in small stories about St. Catherine of Siena, St. Philip Neri, Sts. Per- petua and Felicitas. Twenty sto ries of saints, to be memorized and used by parents to stress particular virtues, make up the last chapter of the book. This is a book for “parents who care passionately about the want to send them “on a glorious adventure with God.” That the author is herself a mother of seven explains the helpfulness and wisdom of this 211-page volume. PATTERNS IN COMPARA TIVE RELIGION, by Mircea Eliade (Sheed & Ward, $6.50). (Reviewed by Flannery O’Connor) This book describes various religious hierophanies — rite, myth, cosmogony, god — in re lation to and as a manifestation of the mental world of those who believed in them. These hierophanies are in general ali en to the Judeo-Christian re ligious life and, as the author points out, largely appear as aberrations to us; but one ob ject of this study is to get away from prejudices of the lecture room and instead of considering these beliefs as pantheism, fet ishism, infantilism and so on, to help the reader understand the meaning of the sacred in primitive cultures. “That the dialectic of hierophanies of the manifestation of the sacred in material things should be an object for even such complex theology as that of the Middle Ages serves to prove that it re mains the cardinal problem of any religion. One might even say that all hierophanies are simply prefigurations of the mi racles of the Incarnation, that every hierophany is an abortive attempt to reveal the mystery of the coming together of God and man.” This is reason enough to make this kind of study valu able. WHAT EVERY BRIDE AND GROOM SHOULD KNOW, by Rev. Harold A. Buetow (Bruce, 75c). “This book is intended for the use of anyone interested in the Christian concept of marriage,” says Father Buetow in his fore word, which is dated Feast of St. Valentine, 1958, a most ap propriate patronal feast. It is a book one reads and wishes to give to all young lovers, married or about to be married. The book, the author contin ues, “will probably be of great est use to those contemplating Catholic marriage in the near future. For a non-Catholic party to a Catholic marriage, it will serve as an introduction to the teachings of the Church on the subject. It will help deepen a Catholic’s understanding of the matter . . In sixty pages, the attractive little paperback book contains concise and interestingly pre sented instructions on the sub ject, which should be helpful not only to prospective brides and grooms but also to those who have celebrated many an niversaries of their wedding day. The author makes free use of the beautiful passages from the nuptial Mass and the litur gy of the marriage ceremony, inspired words which never fail to thrill and encourage, no mat ter how often they are re-read or heard. He also includes perti nent quotations from scripture and from papal pronounce ments on marriage. The book’s three chapters fol low the three divisions mention ed in the marriage canon: the nature of marriage; mutual ob ligations of husband and wife; and. parents’ obligations to chil dren. The final seven pages con tain a “self-rating scale for Catholic parents,” a “marriage quiz.” and a list of “suggestions for further reading.” WITNESS OF THE LIGHT, by Katherine Burton (Long mans, Green, $4.00). (Reviewed by Cecilia L. Hines) The prolific and tireless Kath- rine Burton has added to her long list of biographies about Catholic personages with a book on the life of Pius XII. It will certainly find an admiring au dience. Mrs. Burton has a very pleasant narrative style and makes the best use of dramatic crises combined with vivid an ecdotes; a practice which arous es the interest of a group of readers that a more definitive writer fails to reach. Mrs. Burton has not attempt ed to cover the many achieve ments of the present Holy Fa ther; rather she has concentrat ed on his heroic and continuous struggle for peace in a troubled world. She brings out this pro- nrinant part in the experiences of the modern Church; in war, in Germany, in his personal con tacts with the American pub lic, in his reform of canon law, souls of their children” and who ALDO’S Italian Restaurant & &rive-ln 1501 CAMPBELLTQN ROAD • Atlanta's Newest and Finest Italian Restaurant 11:30 A.

JA. 2-9960 LATE NEWS BRIEFS CARDINAL'S HAT RAISED TO CEILING CHICAGO, 111., (NC) — The red hat of the late Cardinal Samuel Stritch was raised to the ceiling of Holy Name Cathe dral here to hang there until it disintegrates. This traditional practice was followed by a Pontifical Mass to mark the expiration of one month since the death of Car dinal Stritch in Rome. In modern times it is used only twice, when the Cardinal is elevated to that rank and when the hat is placed at the foot of the cardinal’s casket at death.

Gilbert WASHINGTON —■ Commun ist China is rising ominously on the horizon once more. The question of that country being recognized by the United States and admitted to the Unit ed Nations is recurring again. There is also the somewhat new suggestion that Red China is proving to be a Frankenstein monster to its creator, Soviet Russia. The matter of recognition for Red China has been revived in several quarters. Some observers have predicted that Premier Charles De Gaulle of France will recognize the Peking re gime. President Carlos P. Gar : cia of the Phillippines, on a visit to this country, said during a television show that his country would not recognize communist China even if the U. S. were to do so. Gen. Claire Lee Chen- nault, of Flying Tiger fame, told the Congressional committee that “it would mean the taking over of all the Far East by the communists,” if Red China were recognized by this country and but does not center much atten tion on his enrichments of the inner life of the Church through his doctrinal, liturgical and mor al teachings. These latter are the qualities which have made his leadership phenominal in the modern world. Men listen to what Pius has to say on any subject. Witness of the Light is a good choice for the general public. It will make the reader deeply conscious of the lovable quali ties so noticeable in all the Holy Father’s contacts. We are faced with the fact that this is pri marily a human interest story, concerned with the Pope’s fami ly circle, his training for the priesthood, the development of his diplomatic skill. For that reason it is a good addition to the long list of biographies (Mrs. Burton lists eleven in her bibli ography) written about Pius XII. admitted to the UN. There are always those in this country who favor recognition of the Peking regime, and they may be expected to become vo cal again. The matter of Red China’s ris ing influence in its relations with Red Russia is not new, but it has been given a new twist, and perhaps a grave new im portance, by the recent execu tion of Imre Nagy and others for their part in the Hungarian freedom attempt of October, 1956. One theory, which seems to have originated abroad, but which has been widely circulat ed here, is that the Chinese Reds forced the execution of the Hun garian patriots. It is argued that Red China is in a belligerent mood and is convinced that aggressive mea sures, even war, best serve to spread communism. Thus, as a matter of policy and because -it must rely on Soviet military might, Red China does not want to see any reduction of Russian armaments. For this reason, it was determined to scuttle all possibility of a “summit” con ference, lest this might lead to even a minor cut in Soviet arms. The theory further has it that Peking insisted upon the exe cution of the Hungarian leaders, knowing this would make a “summit” meeting impossible, and at the same time serve as a warning to Poland and Yugo slavia. Whether or not this theory holds water, no one here can say positively. There are those who contend that the Chinese need not have gone to all this trouble, because Moscow did not want a “summit” meeting, only the pro paganda advantage of propos ing one. But Nagy and the others were executed, and this fact, coupled with the theory, provokes some disturbing thoughts. Red China has begun to show truculence again. Some of its rulers have been quoted as say ing China has a population of 600 million and could lose 300 million in a war and still have 300 million left. Some observers wonder if she might risk an at tack in Formosa while in this mood. If this were to happen, no one could predict what the end might be. And, if Moscow did not yield to Red Chinese pressure in the execution of the Hungarians, could it withstand pressure from Peking in some future case? It would be a mortal blow to Sov iet Russian imperialism if Red China were to break away from Moscow. It would probably lead to wholesale defections among the European satellites. The present danger, however, does not seem to be that Pe king will go in for a sort of na tionalist communism,” inde pendent of Russia since it has criticized Yugoslavia for this. It would rather seem to be that China would stay close to. but dominate Russia. Some believe it is growing so strong that it could bring back “Stalinism” and all that it means, and call a great many turns in Soviet Rus sia. Red China may not be ready yet for a test of strength with Russia, but it is not hesitating to use shouldering tactics in the rest of the world. Her upsurg- ence holds no happy prospects for the Free World. The only easy money most men get their hands on is what they borrow back from their wives. ST.

DR. 3-4424 THE BULLETIN, July 12. i&oo—jrAGn, u Theology for The Layman (Continued From Page Four) person could not exist without the nature, but some distinction there seems to be -— the person possesses the nature, not vice versa. We say “my nature,” not “nature’s me.” Further we see that person and nature answer two different questions. If we are aware (in a bad light, say) but there is something in the room, we ask “What is it?” If we can see that it is a human being, but cannot distinguish the features, we ask “Who is it?” “What” asks about the nature, “who” asks about the person. There is another distinction which calls for no special phi losophical training to see. My nature decides wliat I can do. I can raise my hand, for instance, because that action goes with human nature; I can eat, laugh, sleep, think, because each of these actions goes with human nature. I cannot lay an egg, be cause that goes with bird na ture: if I bite a man, I do not poison him, because that goes with snake nature; I cannot live under water, because that goes with fish nature. But though it is my nature which decides what actions are possible to me. I do them, I the person; nature is the source of our operations, person does them. Applying this beginning of light to the being of God, we can say that there is but one divine Nature, one answer to the question What is God, one source of the divine operations. But that there are three who totally possess that one nature. To the question “Who are you?” each of the three would give His own answer, Father or Son or Holy Spirit. But to the ques tion “What are you?” each could but answer God, because each totally possesses the one same divine nature, and nature decides what a being is. Because each possesses the di vine nature, each can do all that goes with being God. Because each is God, there is no inequal ity, either in being or operation. It is necessary here to be ac curate, upon two points espe cially. First, the three Persons do not share the divine Nature; it is utterly simple and cannot be divided up; it can be possessed only in its totality. Second, the three Persons are distinct, but not separate. They are distinct, because each is Himself; but they cannot be separated, for each is what He is solely by possessing the one same nature; apart form that one nature, no one of the per sons could exist at all. At first, all this may seem dry and unrewarding. But only at first. The rewards for persist ence are immense. Secs TV Dream World Af Fault LOS ANGELES, (NC)—Many marriages fail because young couples live in a dream world based on television concepts of matrimony, Father John J. Ward of the Los Angeles archdiocesan Marriage Tribunal asserted here. Father Ward addressed more than 200 couples, members of the Christian Family Movement, who were attending an arch diocesan Conference for Happier Families. As one example of what he meant, Father Ward cited a TV program in which the couple “have a nice apartment, never seem to work, have no children, but keep a dog... ” The sure way to continue go ing up hill is to stay on the level.
