Not even the Church could change the law of God that we set aside a special day to wor ship our Creator. But the Apos tles, to whom the Lord gave the power to “bind” and to “loose,” certainly had the power to de cide which day of the week should be observed as the Sab bath. So they did decide on Sunday, instead of Saturday. The first day of the week (by our reckoning) was chosen as the holy day mainly to com memorate the Resurrection of our Savior. It was on Sunday that this event which is the corner-stone of our faith oc curred. For this and other rea sons, the Church found this day of the week most suitable for the Sabbath. So let’s leave things the way they are. We can do a lot better with Sunday by settling down and starting to really worship and rest and not buy-and-sell on this holy day. But changing to Saturday would not help this. And a change would disrupt our whole routine. We would have to call our Sunday Suit, for instance, our Saturday Suit. And the Saturday-night bath would become the Sunday-night bath. It staggers the imagina tion to think of all the changes we would have to make. Let the Chamber of Commerce do what it wants about all those other days; but let Sunday, the Lord’s Day, be here to stay.

Question Box (Continued from Page 4) the faithful.” Q. In the Litany of our Bless ed Lady, why is Mary invoked as the "Tower of David"? A. The Tower of David was the principal and most impreg nable structure guarding the fortressed wall around Jerusa lem. Erected by King David fol lowing his victory over the Jebusites, it soon became a sym bol of invincibility among the Jews of the kingdom. Time gradually effected what invad ing armies could not, and the Tower remained in ruins until King Herod restored it. His re construction resulted in three separate towers, the highest of which was known as the Tower of David. So thick and massive was it, that it failed to crumble even before the armies of Titus, during the destruction of Jeru salem in 70 A.D. Mystically, our Blessed Lady is invoked as the Tower of Dav id because she affords her chil dren invincible protection against the most terrible on slaughts of hell. The idea for the symbolism is contained in the Song of Songs (IV: 4), wherein the spouse, Considered a figure of our Lady, is describ ed in terms of “David’s embat tled Tower . . .” Some men never know when they are well off because they never are.

It is truth. It is to see yourself as you are and that is quite humiliating when we take the rosy-colored mirror away. It isn’t a pretty sight to see our selves as we are and I can un derstand now what Merton meant about wondering if .he had learned enough to pray for humility. It is a good thing to be humiliated in front of others or by a sudden realization of your own weakness. My humil ity thoughts were given even a greater impetus last week with the presentation of a homily on humility given me by one who knows I need it. I reprint it here: “Humility is perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed or irritated or sore or disappointed. It is to ex pect nothing, to wonder at no thing done to me. It is to be at rest when I am blamed or de spised or no one praises me. It is to have a blessed home in thyself where I can go and shut the door and be at peace as in a deep sea of calmness when all around and about it is troubled. Theology For The Layman (Continued from Page 4) tially a social being. We should not come into existence unless other humans produced us, or stay in existence unless they maintained us in it. This de pendence on others we do not outgrow. We have' all sorts of needs which we cannot supply for ourselves; and all sorts of powers — to love, for example, to teach, to procreate — which can never be used save in rela tion to others. Without his fel low-man, no one would ever reach maturity; he would be a rough sketch for a man, no more. The second is the truth we have already seen as applying to all beings whatever. Man is made by God of nothing', is held in existence from moment to moment simply by God’s will to hold him there. God’s will is. the reason for man’s existence; so God’s will must be the law of his existence. To disobey the WASHINGTON, (NC) —Pon tifical Requiem Mass was of fered here for the only woman ever to have her name in the official directory of the Holy See. law is.sin; to think we can gain by disobeying it is insanity. That there are laws in the universe, no one doubts: the law of gravity is one obvious exam ple: the laws of dietetics are another. By learning these laws and living according to them we gain freedom. Pause upon this, if the thought is new to you. Freedom is always bound up with obedience to the law of God; there is no such thing for man as freedom from these laws, there is only freedom within them. Each new law learnt by us increases our free dom. We learn the laws of grav ity, air-currents, movement of bodies: and at last we can fly in the upper air. We learn what elements are necessary in our diet, and certain diseases vanish. That there are laws applying to man’s soul, moral laws, is just as true. The same God who made the law of gravity, made the laws of justice and purity. Physical laws do not affect only those who accept them—the born baby can die for want of the right vitamins or be killed by falling from a height. It is the same with the laws of mor ality. Because both sorts are laws, we cannot break them. How could we break the law of gravity? We could jump off a cliff, but by doing that we should not break the law of gravity, we should illustrate it. We cannot break laws, but, if we ignore them, they can break us. In this the laws of morality are the same as physical laws. If we disobey them, even in ignor ance, our nature is always dam aged, for they are the laws of reality. If we disobey them, knowing t h a t God has com manded us to obey them, then there is sin, the worst damage of all. The Mass, in St. Matthew’s cathedral, was offered by Arch bishop Patrick A. O’Boyle of Washington for Mother Mary Maurice Tobin, Superior Gen eral of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union. Mother Mary Maurice died (March 4) in Mercy Hospital, Baltimore, after a five-month illness. Requiem Mass was of fered for her in the hospital chapel by Archbishop Francis P. Keough of Baltimroe. Mother Mary Maurice was president of the U. S. Con ference of Major Superiors of Women’s Institutes. It was in this capacity that her name appeared in the 1959 Annuario Pontificio, official Vatican year book, in a new section on feder ations promoting closer co operation among religious orders and congregations. It was the first time that a woman’s name had been in cluded among the 40,000 names normally listed in the Annuario. Mother Mary Maurice had re sided at the general mother- house of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union in nearby Beth- esda, Md., since 1.941, when she was elected secretary general of the community. In 1952 she became a counciler general and in 1954 was elected Superior General. During her term as Superior General she directed planning for a new generalate and house of studies in Bethesda. The Sis ters of Mercy of the Union have more than 6,500 nuns working in schools, hospitals and other institutions in this country and other parts of the western hemis phere. Mother Mary Maurice became head of the eastern region of the Conference of Major Religious Superiors of Women’s Institutes in 1957. In 1958 she was elected president of the national federa tion. She was a native of Grand Rapids, Mich. After entering the Sisters of Mercy there, she studied at St. Francis College, WHEREVER YOU DRIVE.... you’re never far from the red, white and blue Standard Oil sign that’s your guide-post to dependable products and friendly service.

She taught in schools in Michigan and New Mexico before being elected to executive positions in the com munity. Mother Mary Maurice is sur vived by two brothers and a sister. Her body was returned to Grand Rapids for burial there. The man who is puffed up with conceit is seldom a swell fellow.
