The teachers are pic tured with Bishop McDonough, Msgr. McNamara, and Father Cuddy, Superintendent of Schools. Professional card sharks really enjoy meeting an amateur who knows all about the game. (Continued from Page 1) American freedom that they placed no hmdurance in the way of the Church as teacher. Fiaelity to their restraint is a proof of our national greatness. The sanctity of the right of the Church to teach involves all other rights asserted lor individ uals and institutions. T or tins there is the uniform testimony ot history. Under whatever form of tyranny, from Caesarisin to Sovietism, the subversion of hu man. freedom has almost invari ably begun with the restriction or denial oi the right of the Ciiurch to teach. The record ex- tenas from tne imperialism of Rome to our contemporary ex amples of state socialism with wearisome repetition. Once the Ciiurch has been muzzled then oilier freedoms rail ready prey to those powers which would aarken the mind and control the will of man. The irony, m- aeed, oi many of tne moaern regimes whicn have passed as liberal is that they have vitiated their ciaim, only too often by a radical intolerance in regard to the bhurcli as teacher. lt is more than a question of history, however. The right or tne Gnuxcn to teach is ueeply rooted in man’s primary right to know the truths necessary tor his salvation. Tnere is no light anterior to this m value or im portance, ana there is no consid eration whicn coma justuy tne slightest infringement of it. The fact that m our modern pluralis tic society all men are not agreed upon these truths, or, more specifically, are not united in recognizing the Church as the voice of God revealing, does not affect the essential nature of the problem. What in practice does the Church regard as essential for the exercise of her right to teach men? The answer is very sim ple: the right to a hearing. What does the Church claim it is her right to teach? Obvious ly, the total content of the de posit of faith revealed by Jesus Christ through His Apostles, de veloped and unfolded through the ages under the guidance of the Holy Spirit whose abiding presence was promised her by the Divine Master. She can ac knowledge no temporal authori ty as empowered to change or modify in any respect the least part of this deposit, and many of her most anguished conflicts have been fought out on that is sue with those who would dic tate her creed. It is her right, moreover, to teach those moral principles which flow from the natural law and the positive law of God, and which are binding upon all men, either as written, in St. Pauls’ phrase, on the tab lets of their hearts, or as faith illuminies their rightness and necessity. It is significant of the temper of our times that only rarely now are undisguised attempts made to contest the right of the Church to proclaim her dog matic truth. The debate more closely centers around her free dom to assert her moral teach ing in a world which has in creasingly tended to acknow ledge no objective standard. It is questioned, thus, whether she has the right to preach her own concept of the holiness and in violability of the marriage bond in a society which has le galized divorce and has advanc ed very far toward accepting it as a normal solution for marital problems of any kind. Again, there is vehement opposition raised when she states her prin ciples on contraception. In an other field it is contended that the Church is not justified in adopting measures to protect the taith oi her children in a mixed society wnere established principles are at a discount. Her position on the moral necessity of Christian education is de nounced as divisive, or, more properly, as running counter to the interests oi a monopolistic statism. The list could well be extended, for there are many areas in which the stand of the Church is contested and her riglit to legislate for the con sciences of her children is de nied. As freedom is fundamental to conscience. 'The Church has nev er wavered in her adherence to these principles. But freedom does not mean intellectual or moral anarchy. It is not, as some would interpret it, merely freedom from something - , lt is a spiritual power of man’s very soul, inherent in his personality, by winch he can rise to the ful fillment of God’s will in his re- gam. its deepest realization is in the voluntary acceptance of truth in obedience to God s law. When the Cnurcli legislates lor conscience sne does no more tnan make application of tne imperatives ot the divine law lor me moral governance ox mankind. The Church must exercise her rignt to teacn men tneir auty. As in matters of faith she has the right and power to teach truth and to distinguish it from heresy, so in tne Held of morals she has the right to define vir tue and to distinguish it from sin. What is sometimes mis understood is that tire Church is not a debating society but a di vinely founded organization committed to a definite body of teachings and proclaiming a pos itive way of salvation. In these modern times, the Church has ample reason to_ be grateful for those astonishing developments in the field of communication which render it possible for her voice to be heard and her truth to be pon dered by far greater numbers than ever before in her long history. She is , confident that her truth, fully known, will bring forth its fruits in the hearts of men.

Feeling entirely responsible for the way children act. 2. Expecting too much too soon. 3. Expecting too little too late, 4. Refusing to accept each child as he is. 5. Making children self-con scious. 6. Confusing the roll of dis cipline. 7. Giving children too many choices and being afraid to say no.

Stephens, Sr., Mrs. William 8. Trying to be a pal to our sons and daughters. 9. Over-protecting our chil dren. 10. Living for instead of with our children. Mr. Garrett stressed the fact .that children are individuals and sense parent’s disappoint ment in them. Children like to think of parents as adults rather than pals and want them to keep standards even though they themselves resent it. Good parents make themselves pro- gressingly unneeded; thereby proving their faith in the child as time goes by. Mrs. Clem Dennis gave a re port on the Halloween festival which was a big success. The proposed budget for the year was approved. After an address by Msgr. Thomas Sheelan, pastor, the meetng was adjourn ed.
