Kennedy said he and 51 Methodist bishops who in vited him to an off-the-record meeting engaged in a “general discussion of public questions.” The legislator, a Catholic widely regarded as a leading candidate for the 1960 Democra tic nomination for the presi dency, characterized the session in a brief statement as “very pleasant.” A Kennedy aide said later that “one of two questions had religious overtones,” but most of the 40-minute session was de voted to questions on foreign policy. THE COUNCIL of Bishops of the Methodist Church, leaders of the nation’s largest single Protestant body, with about 9.5 million members, met with a number of top government offi cials during its semi-annual meeting here. The total mem bership of the council is 76. President Eisenhower re ceived council members at the White House. Later, they met in closed sessions with a num ber of other officials, including Vice President Pdchard Nixon, Chief Justice Earl Warren, Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, Sen. Kennedy, Defense Secre tary Neil H. McElroy and others. Only one bishop made a re port after the closed-door ses sion with Sen. Kennedy in the Senate Office Building. Retired Bishop James H. Straugh of Baltimore told newsmen Sen. Kennedy has a “good person ality” and “appealed very much to the group.” FRED HOLBORN, a Kennedy assistant, said in commenting on a report that the legislator was questioned about his interview in Look magazine in mid-Feb ruary that most of the session was devoted to foreign policy questions, though “one or two questions had religious over tones.” “It was all in a friendly spirit,” he said, adding that there was no effort to secure from the Senator further opin ions on Church-state matters. In the Look interview, the Massachusetts legislator was quoted as saying he opposed BOOK REVIEWS EDITED BY EILEEN HALL 3087 Old Jonesboro Road, Hapeville, Georgia Each issue of this Book Page is confided io the patronage of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces, with the hope that every read er and every contributor may be specially favored by her and her Divine Son. CATHERINE LABOURF, AND THE MODERN APPARITIONS OF OUR LADY, by Abbe Omer Enelebert, Kenedy, $3.95. “Never enough is said about Mary.” In L930 the Mother of God appeared to a young novice in a convent of the Daughters of Charity, in Paris, and showed h»r the design of the mpdal, now known as the Miraculous Medal, asking that she have this medal made and distributed, and promising many graces, particularly the grace of conver sion, through its use. Sister Catherine Laboure, to whom this charge was entrust ed, was instructed to tell no one but her confessor of the ap paritions and the secrets given her by Our Lady. She carried out her charge heroically and, until a short time before her death, forty-six years later, Ca therine herself remained an ob scure member of the commun ity, serving as portress, poultry keeper, and nurse to a group of old men. She was canonized by Pope Pius XII on July 27, 1947, not because she had seen Our Lady, but because of those he roic hidden years that followed the apparitions. Abbe Englebert tells Cath erine’s story, including the mar velous conversion of the Jew, Alphonse Ratisbonne, by means of the Miraculous Medal. Then in Part II of his book, he out lines briefly seven subsequent apparitions of Our Lady—-at La Salette, Lourdes, Pontmain, Pellevoisin, Fatima, Beauraing, and Banneux—and in Part III he sums up the signifcance of these repeated appearances of the Mother of God on earth during the last century plus thirty years. They were not the first times that the Virgin had made her self visible on earth, he says, but these, beginning with her appearance to Catherine in 1830, are linked with the pres ent because they are intended to counteract the false natural ism of modern man who “be lieves only in those things ap parent to the senses (who) places all hope in visible na ture, and is concerned only with things here below.” a state of mind which “has resulted in systems as diverse as atheism, agnosticism, pantheism, positiv ism, determinism, Marvism, ex istentialism, all of which have been . . . the vogue in the con temporary epoch.” This book, translated from the French by Alastair Guinan, is fascinating in its simplicity, yet thrilling in its fresh revelation of Our Lady’s efforts to bring modern man to the love of her Divine Son. on the organization and work ings of the Catholic Church, this book in its revised form still has power to point out to the layman' many facets of the Church that he may not have known. The book’s reapperance last October, just as the 261st successor to the Apostle Peter was being elected, was most timely, since it includes a study of the Papacy, its role in Church affairs, and the ancient ritual by which the Pope is chosen. Michael Williams was one of the 20th century’s most distin guished Catholic laymen, a newsman and editor. The pres ent edition, revised by Zsolt Aradi, journalist, author, and former diplomat to the : Vatican, preserves the style of the origi nal author while taking into ac count the innumerable changes which have taken place in the Church since 1934, The book discusses many in teresting facets of the Church, including the Roman Congrega tions, the Papal elections, and the liturgy. Subjects of par ticular interest to the layman in clude Catholic Action, the mis sion field, and Catholic educa tion. Notable developments which have occurred since the book’s first edition appeared include the pontificate of Pius XII, the definition of the dogma of the Assumption, the relaxation of the rules for the Eucharistic fast, the rise of the Secular In men t of Catholic position on such contemporary issues as psychiatric practice, natural childbirth, labor relations, and nuclear warfare. In an entirely new section of the book, on the Church in Communist-dominated coun tries, Aradi states: “Communist domination . . . has confronted the Catholic Church with one of the most powerful adversaries it has known in the 2000 years of its history.” The time spent reading this book will be well invested. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN ACTION, by Michael Wil liams, revised by Zsolt Aradi, Kenedy, $5.75. (Reviewed by Michael Patron) First published in 1934, and described as the standard work OUR LADY OF BEAURAING. by Don Sharkey and Joseph Debergh, O. M. I. (Hanover House, $3.75), a selection of the Catholic Literary Foundation. At La Salette, in 1846, the Mother of God wept because of the sins of the world and said that she could no longer re strain the avenging arm of her Son. At Lourdes, in 1858, she told Bernadette, “I am the Im maculate Concept io n,” and asked for prayers and penance. At Fatima, in 1917, she again pleaded for prayers and pen ance, foretelling calamaties that would come to the world if her warning were not heeded. “Many souls go to hell,” she told the children of Fatima, “be cause they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them.” Fifteen years later she ap peared thirty-three times to five children in the villiage of Beauraing, Belgium, sixty miles southeast of Brussles. Here she was ‘“the Virgin with the Heart of Gold,” the merciful mother, promising, “I will convert sin ners,” and asking for sacrifices. Her promise to convert sinners, the authors of this book believe, indicates the great power en trusted to ber by her Son, the The fellow who never expects to give other people a square deal always acts surprised when he comes out on the short end. It seems that all people ask is liberty for themselves, and the power to regulate the liberty of others. PROMOTED Father William J.

(NC Photos) Solutions To World Problems Must Consider Spiritual Needs Of Individuals, Pope Declares federal financial support of pri vate schools and was against sending a U. S. ambassador to the Vatican. He was also quoted as expres sing the belief that nothing takes precedence over the presi- dental oath to uphold the U. S. Constitution. BISHOP G. BROMLEY OX- NAM of Washington, outgoing president of the Bishops’ Coun cil, told reporters that at the last meeting of the group in 1943 they interviewed several top government officials just as they did this time. Sen. Humphrey, also said to be among top candidates for the Democratic presidential nomina tion, said after his meeting with the Bishops it was “very cordial and informative” and that he found the clergymen in agree ment for a “more affirmative line” in foreign policy. A spokesman for Mr. Nixon said the Vice President wished to emphasize that his meeting with the bishops “was not in the context of possible nomina tion by the Republicans for the presidency. VATICAN CITY, (NC) — So lutions to world problems must take into consideration the rights and spiritual demands of each individual, His Holiness Pope John XXIII said here. The Pope was addressing members of the International Committee for the Scientific Organization of Labor. The Pontiff told the interna tional efficiency experts that the commandments of the Gos pels constitute the surest basis for the successful realization of every human activity. There are constant important and deeprooted questions that cannot be solved with material force, he said. Nor can they be solved by the imposition of heg emonies of power or of race. Even if these means succeed in taking over, the result after the first effect would be emptiness, terror and therefore the most fertile ground for strife and conflict. The Pope added that it is through the saints that it is easy to go back to the source of every virtue and perfection, God. As a result, he concluded, there is reason to rejoice be cause humanity, although some times so distracted and distant, nevertheless feels the desire and finds the means to return to the supreme purpose of its exist ence. PERFECT PRIEST SERVES TRUTH, IS CHARITABLE, POPE TELLS SEMINARIANS idea that she is Mediatrix of All Graces. Mary’s universal mediation has not yet been de clared a dogma of the Church, but it is commonly believed by theologians and many think it will be the next dogma to be proclaimed. Devotion to her Im maculate Heart is also becoming widespread. Under this title she is Patroness of the Diocese of Atlanta. The apparitions at Beauraing took place between November 29, 1932 and January 3, 1933. They were approved as authen tic on July 2, 1949,by the Bishop of Namur, acting by the author ity of the Holy See and after sixteen years of the customary meticulous inquiry. Since that time pilgrimages to the Belgian shrine have increased and spiritual and material favors are frequently reported. An interesting sidelight is that all five of the visionaries of Beauraing subsequently married and are rearing families of their own. None entered the religious life. “The children followed what they considered to be their vocations . . .,” the author says. “It seems quite possibile that Our Lady wishes to show us that marriage is a very impor tant vocation. . .that her message is not only to the consecrated souls but to all of us... ” Mary’s last words at Beaura ing were a request for sacrifices, for love of her Son and herself. The authors suggest St. Louis de Montfort’s total consecration to Mary as “the very best way to sacrifice ourselves,” and the Morning Offering as a daily renewal of the consecration. This book, the first complete telling of the story of Beauraing in English, is simple, almost journalistic, in style; not a liter ary masterpiece. The reader’s reaction is likely to be similar to that of the people who first heard of the children’s vision — beginning with many doubts and ending with belief and en thusiasm. After all, since the Church has investigated and ap proved the cult of Our Lady of Beauraing, there is no reason not to believe. VATICAN CITY (Radio, NC) -—Spanish seminarians in Rome, the papal Palatine Guard and domestic workers of Rome were granted special audience by His Holiness Pope John XXIII. The 120 Spanish seminarians attended a morning Mass offer ed by the Pope in the Matilde chapel of the Apostolic Palace. In a brief discourse the Pope told them that the perfect priest is one who “serves truth and performs charity.” In receiving the Spanish sem inarians, the Pope resumed his practice, after a month’s inter ruption, of inviting various groups of seminarians from Rome’s national colleges to at tend his Sunday Mass. The 1,500 domestic workers were received, the Pope said, with special joy because they are of humble station and be cause their work is so closely akin to the life of Christ. The Pontiff quoted Christ’s words: “The Son of Man also has not come to be served but to serve . . Pope John said that a life of service, if done in a Christian spirit and in imitation of Christ, can be a means of spiritual per fection. “If you discharge your du ties in this spirit, you are bless ed, because you do not serve men but God,” he said. “You are blessed because with the example and grace of God and with the example and protec tion of Mary you can perfect your actions and yourselves.” The Pope called the women domestic workers “apostles in the hearts of the families who employ you.” He recommended to them devotion to the imita tion of SS. Blandina and Zita, Blessed Maria Taigi, and espe cially the Blessed Mother. In receiving the Palatine Guard, led by Cmdr. (Count) Francesco Cantuti Castelvetri, the Pope praised the corps as a perfect example of the coopera tion of the laity in the aposto- late of the hierarchy. Taking note of the high posi tion the guards hold in the serv ice of the papacy, he said: “One post or another does not count, however, in the eyes of the just Lord, but what does count es sentially is a pure conscience, that voice which is enlightened and sustained bv Him, and the performance of charity practic ed in every quarter.” MARIETTA BREAKFAST JUNE 2ND MARIETTA—The Altar and Rosary Society of St. Joseph’s Church met in the Church cafe teria.
