He easily spans the space between the culture and the people on either side of the North Atlantic. The real beauty of these re flections lies in their giving us the opportunity to see ourselves as others see us; its pleasant to relate that he has a way of mak ing what we see satisfying and encouraging without the risk of suggesting complacency. It is heartening that, in his compari sons, we do not come out too badly, if badly at . all. From Maritain’s viewpoint we have much that is commendable, a great deal that is enviable, and we are en route to a profound destiny, that of “clearing the way for a new Christian civili zation.” Just one comparative note, of religious character out of differ ence to The Bulletin, which should please—as it startles— us all. Maritain detects a thirst for spiritual life in this country; we probably think of ourselves quite differently. Europeans had told him, he writes, that the very idea of a Carthusian Char terhouse in this country “was completely ridiculous.” How do we rate? What we see—compara tively? he tells us that the Trap- pist monastery at Gethsemani, Kentucky, “alone has more novices than all European Trapps combined, and is obliged to multiply new foundations; the monasteries founded by var ious contemplative Orders are so crowded that they refuse can didates for lack of room; and there is a Charterhouse in this country.” READY MIXED CONCRETE WORKS Transit Mixed Concrete Telephone UN. 5-4032 North Oakland Street GASTONIA, NORTH CAROLINA WILSON TRANSFER COMPANY, Iik.
