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 BRUMBY FURNITURE COMPANY COMPLETE HOME FURNISHERS TELEPHONE 8-1581 MARIETTA, GEORGIA ieS out THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK MARIETTA, GEORGIA 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. QUESTION BOX (Continued from Page 4) 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.” Services For S, A.

THE BULLETIN, July 25, 1959—PAGE 5 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? GENE WHITE CONTRACTING CO. OLD ATLANTA ROAD SMYRNA, GEORGIA PHONE HE. 5-3029 Services For M rs.
