less than a beautifully precise
and explicit analysis, or theolo
gy, of grace.
Let the layman not tell him
self, “Then this is not for me.”
I have the impression that the
average layman is accustomed
to think of The Imitation of
Christ, The Little Flowers, St.
Francis de Sales’ Devout Life,
and the haphazard musings of
Thomas Merton as peculiarly
suitable for himself while re
garding the seminary texts of
scholars as something like
snakebite for which only the
seminarian has an antodote. Yet
Our Life of Grace is very little
more difficult to read than all
the others I have mentioned;
relatively it has only the great
difference of being like one
large coherent flower bared in
all its parts whereas the others
are like a field full of samll
blooms picked at random. Only
slightly more difficult to read,
it is infinitely richer in what it
yields because it lays bare the
basic coherence of a great and
intricate whole.
Edna Millay wrote a splendid
poem celebrating the pure
poetry of a geometrical concept;
of the greatest geometrician, she
said, “Euclid alone has looked
on beauty bare.” It may be said
of theologians that they look on
concepts equally devastating...
and quite beyond Miss Millay’s
vision, even more so. Certainly
through books as lucid, as care
fully complete as Canon Cuttaz’
on grace, any layman who.
knows his catechism may walk
into dead center of a great
vision of “beauty bare.”
porary research and the best. of.
current thinking with respect to
both public and private schools.
“Dr. Power has given us a
fitting book to open such a
series. Pedagogically sound,
scholarly, well written, and
thoroughly consonant with
Catholic principles, it is a valu
able contribution to the field
of education. The text will ably
satisfy the needs of all instruc
tors who are searching for
materials written from a Chris
tian point of view.”

MINUTE MEDITATIONS, by
J. E. Moffatt, S.J., Bruce, $2.75.
AN ABC OF THE SPIRITU
AL LIFE, by Rt. Rev. Msgr. A.
J. Sprigler, Bruce, $2.95.
(Reviewed by Rev. John
Schroder, S.J.)
Father Moffatt’s new book
contains 135 one-minute medi
tations. Reflections are offered
on such subjects as the life of
Christ, the Sacred Heart, the
Holy Eucharist, and the Blessed
Mother. Written for the layman,
these minute meditations are
simple, direct, and solid. They
will profit high school sodalists,
the busy housewife, or the hust
ling business man.
Monsignor Sprigler’s ABC of
ihe Spiritual Life deals with the
fundamentals of salvation and
sanctification, without wasting
words or indulging in oozing
of sticky piety. Direct and sin
cere, it is good for both ama
teurs and professionals of the
spiritual life.
EDUCATION FOR AMERI
CAN DEMOCRACY, by Dr. Ed
ward J. Power (McGraw-Hill,
$5.75).
This is the first book in Mc
Graw-Hill’s new Catholic Series
in Education, The author re
ceived his Ph. D. from the Uni
versity of Notre Dame and is
now Associate Professor of Edu
cation at the University of
Detroit. He treats, in the four
sections of his book: Education
Ideals; Organization and Ad
ministration of Education in the
United States; Educational Pro
grams and Teachers; Contem
porary Issues and Special Prob
lems. The book is well illustra-
ted with numerous excellent
photographs. It is a welcome
volume to accompany any In
troduction to Education course
in a secular college, as well as
being.useful, no doubt, as a text
book for this course in Catholic
colleges.
Dr. Bernard J. Kohlbrenner,
Consulting Editor of the new
series of books, is Professor of
Education at the University of
Notre Dame. “In planning the
McGraw-Hill Catholic Series in
Education," he writes, “the pur
pose is to develop a superior
group of basic textbooks in each

teacher preparation, at both
elementary and secondary
levels, as well as works of a

not a mere collection of books.

RELIGION AND THE FREE
SOCIETY, Miller, Clancy, Coh
en, Howe, and Kempner; Fund
for the Republic Pamphlet.
(Reviewed bv Flannery
O’Connor)
This pamphlet contains five
excellent articles relating to the
general issue of religious and
civil liberties in the United
States. The authors consistently
take a measured and reasoned
approach to a subject which is
usually argued with thoughtless
passion, both by Catholics and
by secularists.
William Clancy, in his article,
“Religion as a Source of Ten
sion,” makes the much needed,
point that . . just as the
American government is a vol
untary self-limiting government,
so the churches, whatever their
theo’ogical claims are. In terms
of their public rola in the
American society must regard
themselves as self-limiting. A
Church may be absolutely sure
of its own mandate and spiritual
authority, yet it cannot publicly
act as though that mandate and
authority were generally accept
ed by the civil society. Forms of
religious behavior or assertions
of religious power that in theo
logical terms may be quite log
ical and just, or in other soci
eties, in other times and places,
might even have been expedi
ent, become dangerously impru
dent in the pluralist society that
is America.” More such state
ments as this coming from Cath
olics might tend to curb some
of the just suspicion created in
the minds of non-Catholics by
certain Catholic excesses in so
cial action.
This pamphlet will be sent
free of charge to anyone re
questing it by the Fund for the
Republic, 60 East 42nd Street,
New York City 17. It would be
well worth any thinking Cath
olic’s time and trouble to send
for it.

tion. Examples: the ancient
Greek feast of Koimesis (“going
to rest”); the Gallican feast of
Dormitio, the Roman feast of the
Assumption. A prayer from a
seventh century missal'for the
last-named feast-reads in part:
“Let us commemorate . . . the
festivity of this day on which
the holy Mother of God under
went temporal death, but could
not be held back by the bounds'
of death.”
Early Church writers are
equally certain that Mary did
actually die before being as
sumed into heaven.
The place of Our Lady’s death
is not known with certainty.
Ephesus in Asia Minor is indi
cated by tradition as the precise
spot, because St. John the Apos
tle, into whose care Our Lady
was commended by Christ on
Calvary, made that city his res
idence for a while after the Cru
cifixion. But Jerusalem is like
wise indicated by what seem to
be stronger traditions.
The cause of Our Lady’s death
is also unknown. It is probable,
however, that God spared her
the ordinary pains of the death
struggle, in view of the fact that
she had already suffered along
with Our Divine Lord during
His crucifixion. This observa
tion, apparently made first by
St. Albertus Magnus, has be
come common in current Mario-
logy.
Since the Mother of God was
sinless, moreover, she was there
fore immune from the general
trials of the last agony; i.e., anx
iety over past faults, uncertain
ty of salvation, dejection and
sorrow for the opportunities not
taken, etc.

For The
Layman
(Continued from Page 4)
protection are ours for the ask
ing. “What are they, all of them,
but spirits apt for service, whom
He sends out when the destined
heirs of salvation have need of
them” (Hebrews 1.14). When
Our Lord was in agony in Geth-
semane, His Father sent an an
gel to comfort him. We some
times need comfort ourselves.
From end to end, Scripture is
so filled with the activities of
angels, that it is puzzling to
find so many Christian bodies
ignoring them altogether, save
as ornaments of Christmas
cards. But even we who are
Catholics overlook them very
easily, to our great loss. We
know from Our Lord’s words
(Matthew 18, 10) that every
child has an angel to guard him;
and it is the universal teaching
of theologians that this is so
not only of children but of all:
yet we seldom turn to them for
help.
We tend to forget about angels
simply because they are spirits.
Matter is not so easy to over
look. Angels can nourish our
minds, as cows our bodies; we
are more solicitous for the nou
rishment cows give. Fallen an
gels can damage our souls, as
microbes our bodies: we are
more on our guard against mic
robes. Sanity demands that we
correct this strange defect in
our seeing.
The universe God called into
being has in it these two great
divisions — the world of spirits
and the world of matter. It is
the special reason for man’s ex
istence that he makes these
two worlds, locks these two
worlds we might say, into one
universe by belonging to both.
Without man, spirit and matter
would be two spheres, not
touching; but man belonging to
one by his soul, the other by his
body, joins them together. Think
of the universe, not as two un
related spheres, but as a figure
eight, with man on both sides of
the join.
This is man’s special function
in the universe: his body is not
just an accident, a punishment
for sin frpm which he is to work
free, a temporary embarrass
ment to be shed at death as a
butterfly sheds its coocoon: it
is essential he is to act his part
in the universe. That is one rea
son for the resurrection of our
bodies at the last day: we should
not be men without them, but
only inadequate angels.
Remember what was said of
soul and spirit in Section 4.
They are not two words for the
same thing. Spirit is a partless,
spaceless, immortal being which
can know and love. Soul means
principle of life in a living body.
Man has the only soul that is a
spirit, the only spirit that is a
soul.
