surface; and it was addressed
not to them but to Satan—the
seed of the woman should crush
his head.
Satan, in the shape of a ser
pent as Genesis • relates, had
tempted men to their ruin. They
were to be punished; so was he.
And Genesis shows Godasaroni-
cally phrasing his punishment
in terms of the serpent form
Satan had adopted—he should
go on his belly and eat the dust
of the earth forever. He would
continue to tempt man and one
day man would defeat him ut
terly; these prophecies too were
cast in serpent terms—Satan
should lie in wait for man’s
heel, a descendant of the woman
would crush his head.
I have lingered thus upon
Satan because we so easily for
get him. Even those who accept
his existence forget his active
malevolence, at most think of
him as a sort of ugly extra, not
a principal in the struggle of
man’s soul.
Our Lord did not see him as
negligible. He called Him “a
murderer from the beginning, a
liar and the father of lies,” As
His own Passion and Death were

Established! in 1888
approaching, He spoke of Sstan
again and again. Here, in the
very dawn, with the first hunan
order wrecked, God’s first state
ment of what He should cU is
made to Satan and in terms of
Satan’s overthrow.
What God would do, He would
not do quickly. The disease^ad-
mitted into humanity by the
choice of self as against (lod
was given every chance to run
its course, work out its logic.
God’s providence did not desert
men; those who implored Him
were not left unaided; but it
was Satan’s carnival all the
same; he had gained no rights
by his success over Adam, but
he had gained immense power:
he was the prince this world
obeyed.
How long this first stage
lasted, we do not know, but as
history at last begins to see man
kind, the sight is at once heart
ening and horrifying: religion
universal, everywhere twisted
and tainted with lesser or great
er perversions, but God never
wholly forgotten and often mar
vellously remembered.
Four thousand years ago, the
plan of redemption suddenly
seems to take shape—at least
to our eyes. God spoke to Abra
ham: his children were to be
God’s chosen people. Out of- the
chaos of the nations, one nation
was to bear mankind’s hopes.
They were to be the guardians
of monotheism, proclaiming that
God is one; and of them was to
be born the Saviour of the
world, the Messias, the Anointed
One: of His kingdom there
should be no end. ■■
The Jewish prophets multi
plied their utterance upon both
points—unon the one God -and
upon Messias—with mixed suc
cess. By the time Messias Was
due to come, indeed for cen
turies before, the Jews were un-
shakably monotheistic. But only
rare ones among them- had
grasped the essential nature of
the Kingdom the Saviour-was to
found: and the supreme truth
about the Saviour.Himself they
did not know.

of all parish books and accounts,
temporal as well as spiritual.
The most grave obligation a pas
tor has, of course, is to the
regular celebration of Mass, the
administration of the': ,i sacra
ments, and teaching of Christian
doctrine in his parish.
HISTORICALLY, the pastor’s
role, as it is now understood,
was clearly defined at the Coun
cil of Trent (1545-1563), though
it is held by scholars of the
question that the concepts of
pastors and parishes date from
at least the fifth century. In the
primitive Church, the bishops
were the pastors; their dioceses,
the parishes. It was only when
the Church began to move out
from the cities into the rural
areas, that parish priests as such
were first needed. These parish
priests staffed small outlying
chapels and saw to many of the
spiritual requirements of the
faithful: the celebration of Mass,
the administration of the sacra
ments, and religious instruction.
FROM THE NATURE of the
parochial office, there can pever
be two pastors in one and the
same parish.
PRIESTS WHO assist pastors
with parochial function^ are
commonly known as “assis
tants,” or “assistants pastors,”
or “curates.”

THE STORY LADY
Maureen Wenk Hanigan
LET'S PLAY PRETEND
Betty was five years old, and
all winter long she had been
going to kindergarten every day.
Now it was summer time, and
there was no school. At first
Betty had fun every day. She
played with her dolls and took
them for a walk on the sunny
days. When it rained she would
sit at her very own desk and
try to show her dolls all the
things that she had done in
school. But after a few days Bet
ty grew tired of playing with
her dolls. Then she went for
a ride on her bicycle and after
that she would swing on her
swings and when it was very
warm her mother would give
her a new coloring book and a
box of beautiful crayons and she
would sit in the shade and very
carefully she would color all
the pictures. But after a little
while Betty grew tired of her
bicycle and her swings and she
didn’t want to color any more.
NOTHING TO DO
“Mommie,” Betty would say,
“What can I do now? I haven’t
anything to play with and I
don’t know what to do.”
“Why Betty,” said her Mom
mie, very much, surprised, “you
have so many beautiful toys to
play with. I’m surprised that
you can’t find anything to do!
Come and help me with my
work this morning, and while
we are working we will think
of some games for you to play
after your rest.”
So all morning long Betty was
very busy helping her mother.
She helped to make the beds
and she dried some of the dishes
—very carefully. When her
mother ironed she asked Betty
to pick out the thing she wanted
ironed next from all the many
articles in the clothes basket,
and when she finished ironing
each one Betty would bring it
to the room where it was to be
put away, and she made sure
that she didn’t put any wrinkles
in the freshly ironed clothes.
When Betty and her mother
were fixing lunch, her mother
said, “You have been a wonder
ful help to me this morning
Betty, but r»w let us decide
what you will do this afternoon.
What do you suppose children
do that have no toys to play
with?”
“I don’t know,” said Betty,
“I guess they just can’t do any
thing but sit.”
“Oh no,’ said her mother,
“They can do wonderful things,
they can play a magic game.”
LET'S PRETEND
“A magic game!” said Betty,
“What is it? I would like to play
a magic game to.”
“Well,” said her mother, “It
is called Let’s Pretend! Anyone
can play, all you have to do is
decide what you would like best
to be and then you make be
lieve.”
“Tell me what I can make be
lieve Mother,” said Betty, “I
can’t think of anything to be.”
“Alright, I will tell you a few
things and then we will see how
many more you can think of all
by yourself. First, why don’t
you pretend that you are one of
the animals in the zoo, and the
porch can be your cage. You
can walk back and forth and
watch all the people that go
past just like the animals do.
Or you can be the lady traffic
officer that helps the children
to cross the street on the way
to school. Just make believe that
the sidewalk is the road and
hold up your hands to the make
believe cars to tell them when
to stop and when to go.”
“I see how you play magic,
Mother,” said Betty, “I can
think of lots of thing too. I’ll
find two little sticks and put
them on the ground and pre
tend they are a stream I have
to jump across in the forest, and
I will make the stream wider
and wider and see how far I can
jump.”
And so all that day Betty
played the magic game of Let’s
Pretend, and it was so much fun
that she played it the next day,
and the next and the next. Soon
it was her favorite game.
Did you ever play that magic
game?
