JOSEPH BREIG
PILGRIM OF THE NIGHT
I wonder whether we will
ever realize that God made
our planet to be the home of
the family of man, and that
every last one of us is entitled to
the help of the others in making
a success!' u 1
life.
You can call
this a simpli
fication if you
please, and no
doubt it is;
but statements
of basic prin
ciple are simj
go to the root of a question,
and leave the flowering and
leafing for future development.
The Founding Fathers simpli
fied when they wrote in the
Declaration o f Independence
that all men are created equal
and are endowed by their Crea
tor with certain inalienable
rights.
Such packing-together o f
great theological and political
truth was sheer genius; and out
of it have grown not only the
American nation, but move
ments for independence and hu
man rights which go on sweep
ing the world like huge winds.
NOW WE ARE LIVING in the
Century of the Exodus; or per
haps we should say the Decade
of the Exodus. In the years since
the end of World War II, 40
million human being have left
everything to flee from despot
ism.
To this day, despite mine
fields, guards with automatic
rifles, floodlighted frontiers,
masses of barbed wire, and con
stant police surveillance, the
iron curtain leaks thousands
into the free world every month.
We are faced, therefore, with
the question of the right of hu
man beings to migrate. Thus we
are confronted with the chal
lenge to measure up to the fam-
iliness of all mankind.
No one is more keenly con
scious of this gigantic reality,
with which the minds and con
sciences of all of us must grap
ple, than the bishops of Austra
lia, into which pour hundreds of
thousands of 20th century set
tlers.
THE AUSTRALIAN bishops,
therefore, after much study, is
sued-a joint statement that the
right to migrate is “a natural
heritage of man” which must be
“recognized, protected and pro- 1
moted by the state and the com
munity of nations.”
-Is this revolutionary? It is
revolutionary only in the sense
that every great trenchant basic
truth is revolutionary—demand
ing, as it does, that humanity
rise to its stature as a family of
children of God.
“Pilgrims of the Night” was
the touching phrase with which
the Australian bishops described
the millions who are hewing out
—or waiting their opportunity
to hew out—new lives in free
dom from tyranny.
After setting forth the funda
mental truth that man has a
right, as a heritage from the na
ture God gave him, to look to
now frontiers and horizons, the
bishops wisely emphasized cer
tain qualifying conditions.
HUMAN RIGHTS, they noted,
are not absolute, but exist in re
lation to such factors as the nat
ural moral law and the common
good. The rights of the individ
ual are modified, even as they
are .protected, by such realities.
Nations, and of course the
world community (said the bish
ops) may justly control migra
tion, within reason, in order to
safeguard public order, eco
nomic welfare and security.
Within such boundaries, how
ever, the nations and the com
munity of nations have an in
sistent duty to open up decent
futures for those who choose
freedom in preference to grovel
ling under godless dictatorships.
Rightly, the bishops praised
Australian authorities for efforts
already expended in behalf of
hundreds Of thousands who have
found homes “Down Under,”
and who will certainly make a
much greater Australia in fu
ture.
THE BISHOPS also voiced
their appreciation of the hercu
lean work done by American
Catholics through U. S. Catholic
Relief Services, the accomplish
ments of which are multiplied
'with' the help of surplus food
and clothing given by the U. S.
government.
Nevertheless, the bishops
faced the fact that more must
be done for the “Pilgrims of
the Night” who flow out of the
Empire of Satan—as the Ger
mans call the area under com
munist enslavement.
The bishops asked the Aus
tralian government to admit
more of these pilgrims. Surely,
by inference, they also address
ed the appeal to other nations.
This is one of the great chal
lenges of our time.
Theology
For The
Layman
There, then, stands man. His
soul, because it is a soul, ani
mates his body, as the soul of a
lower animal animates its; but
because man’s soul is a spirit,
it has the faculties of intellect
and will by
which it
knows and
loves as the
animal’s can
not. To man’s
intellect, ob
jects are pres
ent not only
as those indi
vidual objects seen, just as what
they are: it can abstract their
essence, analyse, generalise,
build up all the great structures
of thought, come to the know
ledge of spirit and of the Infi
nite spirit, grow in the domina
tion of the material universe.
We are proud of our dog when
he brings in the morning paper;
pleased with a chimpanzee
which has been trained to
smoke or drink from a cup; but
animal knowledge is only a
faint parody of human. And so,
with all its pathos is animal
love.
This superiority of the spirit
ual soul spreads downward —
to the border region between
soul and body, to imagination
and sense memory and the emo
tions, in none of which has the
animal more than hints and sug
gestions of the human. It
spreads to the body itself.
We have not space here to
develop the final point in the
relation of soul and body as the
philosopher would: but at least
remember that they are not two
separate things, one of which
animates the other; they are
combined in one being, man
himself. By its substantial union
with a spiritual soul, man’s body
is — shall we say spiritualized?
— not mere matters anyway,
but ennobled. If, by some im
possible chance, one of the lower
animals were given a human
body, he would not know what
to do with it.
But even when we have seen
man as a union of spirit and
matter, we have not seen him
whole and entire. Two other
truths about him must be seen,
or we see him wrong.
The first is that man is essen-

Q. While dining oul with
friends last Saturday in a res
taurant I generally frequent,
the waiter embarrassed me by
saying that I should know bet
ter than to order meat on a.
Saturday during Lent. He claim
ed that in his native country.
Catholics always abstain from
meat on the Wednesdays and
Saturdays of Lent. Is there such
a rule?
A. One full meal, at which
meat may be taken, is permitted
under the Lenten Feast, as now
promulgated in this country.
With the exception of Ash Wed
nesday (which is like a Friday
insofar as meat is concerned),
the Wednesdays and Saturdays
of Lent are not days of complete
abstinence from meat. Individu
als who attempt to force their
own interpreations of the fast
on others should ordinarily be
corrected.
Q. Whai is ihe rule about the
name a child should receive in
baptism?
A. The name given a child in
baptism should be taken from
some person who by reason of
his or her sanctity, occupies a
place in the catalogue of the
saints. The reason for choosing
a saint’s name is that the child
might grow to emulate the vir
tues of the saint, who in turn,
is sure to watch over his name
sake and pray to God for him.
“Wherefore,” cautions the
Catechism of the Council of
Trent /‘those are to be reproved
who search for the names of
heathens, especially of those
who were the greatest monsters
of iniquity, to bestow upon their
children. By such conduct they
practically prove how little they
regard Christian piety when
they so fondly cherish the mem
ory of impious men, as to wish
to have their profane names
continually echo in the ears of

• ALL DAY today, I have
been reading the Journals of
Thomas Merton. Here is the
kind of writing I like best. Mer
ton has a lot to say to me. I
bump into myself many times
on the pages of his journal. He
wrote these diaries twenty years
ago. Don’t/let the spiritual treat
ise he has been writing since
“Seven Storey Mountain” scare
you away from the journal.
Would that I could reach his
level of spirituality today, how
ever. Anyhow there is much in
the journal that appeals to me
as Merton was convert, college
teacher a n d searching always
for the vocation God willed for
him. And so I feel an affinity
with Merton. It was just the
right kind of afternoon for that
personal, easy type reading. It
was a Spring-like Sunday. The
campus had a Sunday air of
awe over it. I went to my room,
put Beethoven’s symphony on
the phonograph, sprawled out
and continued reading Merton:
Merton in Cuba, Merton at St.
Bonaventure and Merton at
Gethsemani. I w i s h I had a
whole page in which to quote
some of "the lines and experi
ences that appealed most. I rec
ommend it in part and in whole
for Lenten reading, especially
his journal of Holy Week at
Gethsemani. It is strange reading
Merton in retrospect. It is like
cheating and reading the end of
a story and then going back to
the first page.
• WHEN HE reaches Geth
semani, he writes in his journal:
“I should tear out all the other
pages of this book, and all the
other pages of anything else I
have written and begin here.
This is -the center of America,”
Later on when I finished my
day at solemn benediction in
the big Church in the heart of
the campus, I remembered oth
er things in Merton. It was a
good day . . . music, Merton,
benediction with a choir of no
vices and later a good talk about
all this with a friend. Yet the
theme of humility kept coming
back to me. Merton once wrote
that he let much of his life and
his thoughts be made public be
cause he was “beyond humili
ty.” Humility has always been
a bitter-sounding thing to me.
Humility meant embarassment
and the pain of shame. Merton
wrote during that Holy Week
that when we know ourselves
even a little, we necessarily be
come humble. As he left the re
treat on Holy Saturday he
writes: “Lent is over. I am tir
ed. Tomorrow I go for no good
reason to New York. I wonder
if I have learned to pray for
humility.” I know what humil
ity is for I am aware every
morning as I go to my knees be
fore Mass how miserable and
weak I am, how dependent I
am on God and the wonder of
His mercy. I have no right to
preach to anyone and I am
aware with every breath I take
and every word I write of my
nothingness without God and
yet humility is a rough word in
my vocabulary. Sometime ago,
a nun-friend sent me the Litany
of Humility. I could not come
to say the words of it meaning
fully: “That others may be more
loved than I . . .” etc. It is tuck
ed away in a prayerbook. I do
not read it but I know it is
there and I remember it all too
many times for comfort.
• THE IMITATION OF
CHRIST would ask us to flee
honor and praise and to wel
come humiliations. This is a
great problem for the worldly.
The Imitation also says that you
must not consider that you have
made any progress until you
look upon yourself as inferior to
others. Humility then is not

New Tax Burden Pending
THE BACKDROP
SHARING OUR TREASURE
Good Exampie Wins Atheistic Scholar
By REV. JOHN A. O'BRIEN, Ph. D.
(University of Notre Dame)' "" ""
Do you want to win a con
vert? Then live a clean, upright,
Christlike life, and you will be
a walking testimonial to the
beauty, truth and sanctifying
power of the Catholic Faith.
Action speaks
louder than
words, and
good example
is more con
vincing than
dialectics. This
truth is illus- 1
trated in the
conversion of
Robert L. Brannan, until re
cently on the English faculty of
Cornell University and now at
the University of Notre Dame.
“I was reared a devout Meth
odist in Fort Worth, Texas,” re
lated Mr. Brannan, “and receiv
ed a beautiful copy of the Bible
as a prize for regular attendance
at Sunday School. When I went
to Texas University, I became
active in the work of the Wes
ley Foundation. At our board
ing house was an atheistic stu
dent, whom I tried to convert.
“We had long bull sessions,
but instead of converting him,
he made an atheist out of me.
My religion was founded on
emotion so I could not present
any logical grounds for my
Methodist beliefs. I floundered
around in the unhappy state of
atheism for several years.
“After taking my M.A. de
gree, I fell in love with Lucille
Mann, a devout Catholic. I took
a few pre-marriage instructions
and we were married at St.
Austin’s Rectory in Austin.
Though Lucille was a daily com
municant who loved her relig
ion, I was such a confirmed
atheist that I tried to knock the
props from under her.
“While my assaults on her re
ligion did not destroy her faith,
they did make her miserably
unhappy and I began to fear for
the stability of our marriage. So
I went to St. Peter’s Rectory in
Alamo Heights, and asked Fa
ther Guido Nurenberger who
answered the doorbell to call at
our home and talk to my wife.
“Father’s visits were like
spring sunshine. Gracious, kind
and considerate. Father told us
of his mission work in Africa.
It was my first close-up of a
Catholic priest and it dispelled
my idea that a priest was either
a scheming hypocrite or a stu
pid zealot. Here was a man so
close to God that he radiated
goodness and compelled my ad
miration.
“My anti - Catholicism was
toned down and I let up on my
life. When I went to Cornell, I
was thrown in close contact
with A1 Overhauser, a physicist
and a convert from Methodism.
I started baiting A1 about his
religion, but he was able to give
sound logical reasons for every
article of the Catholic Faith. He
too was a daily communicant.
“Then I became an assistant
to Professor George H. Healey
who also turned out to be a de
vout Catholic convert. Radiating
charity and goodness, he treated
graduate assistants as persons
rather than as things. Like Al,
he too was brilliant and humble.
“Two graduate assistants with
whom I was closely associated
were Dan O’Dell and Dick
Loomis. Both were exemplary
Catholics and daily communi
cants, who along with Al Over
hauser started me on a system
atic study of Catholicism. I read
The Belief of Catholics, The
Faith of Millions, The Road to
Damascus and a dozen other
books on the Faith.
“No longer was there a sha
dow of doubt about the Catho
lic religion being the religion of
Christ. Reenforcing the creden
tials of the Church was the
shining example of Lucille and
my Catholic colleagues. I called
on Father Langworthy at St.
Thomas Aquinas student chapel
and sought admittance.
“Upon discovering how tho
roughly I had studied the Cath
olic religion, he baptized me
that very evening with Al Over
hauser as my godfather. How
can I ever thank God for guid
ing me into His Church? I’ll try
twice as hard to plant the Faith
as I once did to uproot it.”
Every holder of a life in
surance policy in the United
States will be hit with an in
crease tax burden, if a bill
which already has been passed
by the House is approved
by the Senate
and the Presi
dent.
Yet, the bill
has gone vir-
t u a 11 y un

by officials of

c o m p a n ies.
They are fighting what appears
to be a losing battle to block
the bill which would increase
the tax bill of the life insurance
industry by 70 per cent, from
$319,000,000 a year to an esti
mated $545,000,000.
DISCRIMINATORY MEASURE
In the long run, of course the
new tax bite will come out of
the pockets of the 109,000,000
persons holding $458,000,000
worth of life insurance. The
probability is that most of the
companies will cut down on
policy dividends or refunds, thus
increasing the cost of life in
surance to the typical policy
holder.
Ordinarily Congress would be
reluctant to increase a tax that
would affect the life savings of
such a large percentage of the
voting population. But the law
makers see little risk in in
creasing the tax on the ’’rich”
insurance companies, since the
average policy holder does not

seem to realize that he is the
one who is really being hit.
The mutual companies, which
would pay 75 percent of the ad
ditional tax, have been trying
strenuously to arouse their
policy holders, but as yet Con
gress has received few letters
of protest from the holders of
life insurance.
Spokesman for the mutual
companies have been trying to
stress the point that thy have
no profits in the sense that a
stock corporation, like the
American Telephone and Tele
graph Company, has. Whatever
is earned by a mutual insurance
company, after the cost of doing
business is met, goes back to
the policy holders in the form
of dividends or refunds, which
have the effect of lowering the
cost of insurance.
The bill to increase the taxes
of life insurance companies has
been branded by spokesmen for
the mutual companies as a “dis
criminatory measure carrying
the worst possible form of hid
den tax against the savings of
millions of small mutual com
pany policy-holders.”
Even at the present rate of
taxation, the mutual companies
maintain, income from life in
surance already is taxed more
heavily than income from any
other form of thrift and is three
times as high as the average
for 19 other forms of savings.
The new tax, it has been
pointed out, not only ignores the
heavy state taxes already levied

THE STORY LADY
Maureen Wenk Hanigan
FLUFFY'S COLD
Fluffy was a cuddly little
white kitten. She lived in a
small neat cottage with a little
old lady who loved her more
than anything else in the world.
One morning, Fluffy woke up
later than usual. Something
seemed to be quite wrong. Her
little head had the strangest
feeling, and her sparkling blue
eyes didn’t seem to blink back
at the sunshine in just the right
way. Fluffy was very worried.
She could not even smell the
milk in her own saucer. Then,
suddenly, before she could even
stand up to see what the trouble
was, she sneezed; “Mee-choo,
Mee-choo!” went the kitten.
“Oh,” she said, when she had
quite finished, “Now I know
what the trouble is — I’ve got
a cold.”
The kind little lady heard
Fluffy sneeze, and she picked
up the kitten and patted her
gently.
“Poor little Fluffy,” she whis
pered, “It isn’t much fun to
have a cold is it? I’ll fix you
some nice Cambric tea and then
if you take a little nap that will
chase your cold away.”
So she fixed the tea at once
and set it down before Fluffy,
but the little kitty would have
none of it. She just didn’t like
medicine! Fluffy put her kitten
nose high in the air and walked
right out the door into the barn
yard and she took her little cold
right along with her.
OLD MR. COCK
Fluffy hadn’t walked far be
fore she met old Mr. Cock, the
rooster. “Cock-a-doodle-do,
good morning to you,” crowed
proud Mr. Cock. The kitten tried
to meow an answer as a polite
kitten should, but her cold was
so bad, that all she could say
was “eow-eow-eow —She
couldn’t believe it herself .Why
she sounded just like old Mrs.
Hoot Owl. “Cock-a-doodle-do,
what are you trying to do? I
know you!” You see, Mr. Cock
thought Fluffy was trying to
fool him and he didn’t like any
one to play tricks on him. Fluffy
tried to explain, but her cold
grew worse and worse, and she
sounded more and more like
Mrs. Hoot Owl.
Now Mrs. Hoot Owl wasn’t a
very friendly neighbor, and
when she heard someone talk
ing like her she flew right down
from the high Oak tree and
she called.
“WHOoo are YOUuu?” She
sounded very angry.
No matter how hard Fluffy
tried to explain she just could
n’t sound any differently. Mrs.
Owl grew more angry. She had
no sympathy at all for a kitten
with a cold.
“I’ll teach youuu,” screamed
Mrs. Owl and started to peck
Fluffy with her sharp bill.
“Don’t youu try to be an Owl
tooo.”
POOR LITTLE FLUFFY
Mrs. Owl just didn’t under
stand, and poor little Fluffy just
couldn’t explain. There was just
one thing for the kitten to do,
and she ran as fast as she could
back into the sunny kitchen and
right straight over to her saucer
of Cambric tea. She just had to
get rid of her cold, no matter
how badly she thought the med
icine tasted. She put her tiny
red tongue deep into the saucer
and she lapped and lapped un
til every bit was gone. Then she
went straight to her pillow and
took a nap.
“My goodness, Fluffy,” said
the little old lady, “ I wonder
what made you change your
mind about taking your medi
cine?”
Of course she never found out,
because she couldn’t understand
kitten language. But one thing
she did notice was that Fluffy
never, never turned up her nose
again when she was told to take
some medicine. She always lap
ped it right down as a good
kitten should and she always
took her rest and she always
felt much better right away.

but flaunts tax principles by
starting from a preconceived
premise that the government
ought to collect a half-million
dollars in revenue from life in
surance.
POLICY HOLDER PAYS
The proposed new.tax would
be levied not only on the in
come of the insurance com
panies from investments but
also on premiums paid by policy
holders. Such premiums, the in
surance companies point out,
are not income but savings of
policy holders and, therefore
not properly subject to tax.
What Congress really is aim
ing at are the vast number of
new stock insurance companies
that have come into existence
in the last few years. The num
ber of such companies has al
most doubled since 1951.
While some of these are
genuine “small businesses” seek
ing a share of the expanding
and profitable life insurance
market, others are known as
“tax shelters” set up by men
of great wealth for the sole
purpose of capitalizing on a law
that levied a tax of no more
than 15 per cent on a life in
surance company’s net income
from investments.
But in the attempt to strike
at this tax dodge, the lawmakers
are proposing to levy a new tax
burden at the same'time on mil

form of savings is life insurance

the book, find out that it was
N a t i o n al Snap-Your-Bubble-
Gum Week, and have a real

However, book or no book,
commemorating special days is
very much a part of human na
ture. It has been so ever since
Adam declared National Apple
Month and brought on all our
troubles. But all the commmem-
orations probably have their or
igin in the fact that God Him
self announced the first and
most special day: the observance
of the Sabbath.
Anyone only slightly familiar
with the Bible realizes how im
portant to the Jews was the
Sabbath. It meant a lot because
the Lord Himself sanctioned, or
rather ordered, the special day.
The third commandment of the
Old Law said: “Remember thou
keep holy the Sabbath day.” It
was a precept to set aside one
day of the week to retire from
other activities and to worship
God. Saturday was the day rec
ognized by the Jews, since they
wanted to commemorate God’s
resting on the seventh day after
His completion of the material
universe.
Then, when the Church came
into existence, Sunday gradual
ly replaced Saturday as the day
of worship and rest. This was
not surprising because, as St.
Paul stresses at length in his
Epistles, Christians were not
bound by the restrictions of the
Old Law.
Bible - and - only - the-Bible
Christians object that the New
Testament does not specifically
announce a change of the Sab
bath from Saturday to Sunday.
That’s true. But we have abund
ant evidence that the earliest
Christians did in fact observe
Sunday as the special day. St.
Paul called the first day of the
week “The Lord’s Day.” The
Acts of the Apostles relate that
the disciples came together for
worship on the first day of the
week. From the beginning, our
holy day has been Sunday, the
first day of the week.
In case you wonder why we’re
writing about all this — there’s
a movement afoot by some
Protestant sects to switch the
Sabbath back to Saturday. This
is nothing new, since it has gone
on for a few hunderd years.
We wouldn’t mind all this lob
bying for a switch, of course, if
there were not so much hard
feeling about it. The question is
asked: “Why was the Sabbath
changed in the first place?” And
the Catholic Church is accused
of dealing from the bottom in
bringing about the change.
It should be understood by all
that Sabbath does not mean Sat
urday at all. The Hebrew word
signifies the “day of rest.” God’s
commandment, therefore, points
out only our obligation to ob
serve a day of rest, whatever
day that might be.
Sure, the Bible also tells us:
“The. seventh day is the Sab
bath of the Lord thy God.” But
who is to say what is the sev
enth day of the week? It’s all in
