(Reviewed by Flannery O'Connor) The larger and more interest ing part of this third volume of Order And History is devoted to an analysis of Plato’s science of order, from the Republic through the Laws. For Plato society is “man written in larger letters” and therefore the diseases of the soul are carried over into society. Thus the Republic begins as a dialogue on the just life of the individ ual and becomes also an inquiry into order and disorder in socie ty. For Plato, “The philosopher is man in the anxiety of his fall from being; and philosophy is the ascent toward salvation for SPECIAL WASHINGTON-NEW YORK TOUR FOR BOYS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGE 10 DAYS OF REAL SIGHT SEEING, $130,00 Fourth season of Touring with Children R. H. BREWSTER — DR. 8-4931 Everyman . . . Plato’s philoso phy, therefore, is not a philoso phy but the symbolic form in which a Dionysiac soul expres ses its ascent to God.” Voegelin makes it clear that the leap in being toward the transcendent source of order is real in Plato but that it stems from the depth of the Dionysiac soul; the pre figuration of the Christian solu tion is prefiguration only. For Plato the spirit always mani fested itself in the visible, finite form of society. He never ar rived at the Christian distinction between the temporal and the spiritual. Plato’s enemies were the Sophists and Socrates’ argu ments against them are still to day the classical arguments against that sophistic philosophy of existence which characterises positivism and the age of en lightenment. These are also Voegelins enemies; he makes it plain in this volume that the murder of Socrates parallels the political murders of our time. VIENNA, (NC)—Word reach ing here from Belgrade indi-. cates that Yugoslav Catholics are developing the .habit of at tending a different parish church every Sunday to avoid arousing police suspicion. One result has been to cre ate a unique problem for priests still in Yugoslavia — pastors can count on having an en tirely different set of parishion ers each week. One report stated that a cer tain worker took a five-hour train ride to have his child bap tized to avoid the attention of political authorities. Church holidays, such as Christmas, have been abolished for years in Yugoslavia. Tour ists attending Good Friday serv ices in a fairly large parish no ticed only 14 people there — some of them tourists. There were no altar boys.

(Reviewed by Flannery O’Connor) Although this excellent col lection of papers on Christian asceticism and the man of today has fourteen authors, it does not lack unity. The papers were contributed by specialists in va rious fields for a conference or ganized on the subject by the promoters of La Vie Spirituelle. The essays trace ascetic prac tices from the New Testament through the Renaissance and provide a comprehensive the ology of asceticism which maintains its necessity for the full spiritual life. They then proceed to consider the chang es in modern life which have made certain of these past means of mortifying the senses both dangerous and dubious for the man of today. Anthropolo gical factors, psychiatric con siderations, new knowledge about the relationship between pain and sensuality have all made necessary a change in the application of ascetic de vices inherited from the various religious orders. Whereas the man of the mid dle ages had exuberance to con trol, modern man, living a life of nervous attrition, has little; he “is today a creature di vorced from his own nature.” Rather than stimulate disci pline in himself by sought pain, his need is to gain it through VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC) ■—Queen Mother Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose of Eng land were received in audience bv His Holiness Pope John XXIII. . ■« Film At 10 a. m. a black limousine sedan pulled slowly out of the gate of Villa Wolkonski, site of the British embassy to Italy, bearing the Princess and her mother. It was followed by two cars carrying Sir Marcus Cheke, British Minister to the Holy See; Maj. James Utley, embas sy attache; two gentiemen-m- waiting to the Queen; and a lady-in-waiting to the Princess. The three cars, under motor cycle escort, were led to St. Pet er’s square, through the Arch of the Bells into Vatican City and behind the St. Peter’s Bas- cilica to the Courtyard of St. Damascus. There they were met by the prelates, courtiers and military guard of the Papal Court and led to Clementine Hall of the Apostolic Palace. More than 500 seminarians of the Pontifical English, Scottish and Beaa col leges, who had been waiting for the popular British royal fig ures, applauded them warmly when they entered the hall. The Queen Mother and Prin- the practice of positive charity, “As the things most unfavor able to the inner life are the insistent presence of an en vironment tending all the time toward materialism in tuougn; and action, the cult of the self, failure to distinguish between sincerity and truth, fickleness of character and hypersensitive ness of nerves, these are the points against which the as cetic campaign should be di rected.” This book is a choice contri bution to Catholic intellectual life. hall, the Papal Antechamber, where members of the papal court and superiors of the three colleges also greeted them. From there the master of cer emonies, Msgr. Mario Nasali Rocca di Corneliano, escorted the royal visitors into the Pope’s presence in his private library. Left alone, the Pope, Queen Mother and Princess conversed cordially in French. After the private audience the royal visitors were escorted to the Hall of the Tapestries, where they were. greeted by Vatican dignitaries who are British subjects. At the head of these was the dean of the Sac red Roman Rota, Msgr. William Heard. The next day Princess Mar garet Rose returned to the Vat ican accompanied by Sir Fran ces Darcy Osborne, former Brit ish Minister to the Holy See, to visit the basilica, particularly the Tomb of the Stuarts, former British royal family. She also visited the grottoes of the Bas ilica, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican museums. The first visit of British roy alty to a pope of modern times occurred when, after 350 years of difference between the Holy See and Great Britain, King Ed ward VII visited Pope Leo XIII on April 29, 1903.

This is a delicate impressionis tic account of certain ambival ent childhood experiences, pre sumably of the author’s, in a welbto-do Japanese Catholic family. The conflict between the oriental and western ways of life, between the child’s attrac tion to Buddhism and her fath er’s insistence.on Catholic train ing are deftly suggested but not explored in any depth. Various schools and governesses are en dured and the heroine suffers a nervous breakdown at the age of nine. It is a tribute to the writing that this is made credible but the book as a whole is almost too fragile to add up to more than pleasant Japanese word paintings. — F. O’Connor. Services For S. J.
