more important, our country
means the fundamental doc
trines underlying the American
way of life, the ideas and ideals
of the Constitution, the spirit
of freedom and human dignity
respected by our laws.”
V. T DUTIES flow from
patriotism? In general, patriol-
is:o demands allegiance, loyalty
and obedience to law. All are
spec .heady enjoined by Christi
anity too, of course. Thus our
In vine Lord admonished us to
‘'ronder to Caesar the things
t: at ore Caesar’s” St. Matthew
XXII: 22): St. Peter warned us
to “be subject to every human
creature for God’s sake, whe
ther to the king as supreme, or
to governors, as sent through
him (and) to honor the king”
(I St. Peter 11:13, sq.); and St.
Paul wrote: “Let everyone be
subject to the higher authori
ties, for there exists no authori
ty except from God . . .” (Ro
mans XIII: 1 sq.).
PATRIOTISM requires re
spect for duly constituted rulers
even though such rulers might
be greatly wanting as regards
morality in their private lives,
since respect for civil rulers is
directed toward the office they
represent, not to themselves
personally. .
OBVIOUSLY, all acts preju-
dical to the true welfare of
one’s country are proscribed by
patriotism (hence, a Communist
could not be a patriot). In war
time a true patriot must re
spond, insofar as he is able, to
the defense of his country.
BECAUSE OF ITS nature as
a virtue, finally, patriotism
draws the patriot to maintain a
sincere and solid interest in his
land, to influence others to love
it as he himself does, and to do
his part in promoting its wel
fare internally and internation
ally.

WASHINGTON — It was dis-
cioicu ai me iuneral ot Mrs.
iwuu'i if. Mauoney tnat sue
Vuo seriously nf last Septem
ber, but neioicaiiy carriea out
ir uuu^s as president at tne
Laemnai convention oi tne Na-
l,unci vuounoii oi Camoiie Wo*
lucii mat month.
"Chanty carries its own re
ward m mis me as well as trie
next, it was me work of me
national Council of Catholic
Women tnat literally carried
her uirougn ner limess,” nren-
bisnop Patrick A. OHoyie of
Yv amniglon said in his eulogy.
The Archbishop spoke at a
Requiem Mass oiiered by Aux
iliary uishop Philip M. Hannan
of Washington, Mrs. Mahoney’s
brother. Arcnbishop Pienry J.
Oisrien of Hartlord, Conn.,
where Mrs. Mahoney had lived
since lydJ, was present.
Mrs. Mahoney, 03, a native of
the nation's capital, died (July
20) ot cancer at her parents’
home here. Bne is survived by
her husband, who is assistant
superintendent of Hartlord,
conn., schools; her parents, and
seven brothers.
Archbishop O’Boyle centered
his remarKS on tne tneme that
Mrs. Manoney's life “was a vin
dication or me rewards of cha
rity.” The "dominant and con
trolling lorce in ner hie” was
cnarity, he said, and sne used
her taierus "to forward the
work oi cnarity in every aspect
of me — personal, domestic,
community and even interna
tional.”
“Charity parries its own re
ward in tms life as well as the
next,” he said, "it was the wont
ot me National Council oi Cath
olic Women that literally car
ried her through her illness.”
“She knew of her illness as
early as last July and by the
time of the national convention
in September, she could scarce*
ly walk. The interest in the pro
gram, especially in those phas
es dealing with the plight of
mothers and children overseas,
invigorated ner so inu.cn tnat
tsiie Vvdr atne to attend tiiejcon-
Yemiun ana carry out ail Mr
uutics, Wnieii inciUued sptiecues
uuu a reception 101 z,autl Per
sons,” xircnuisnop OTioyie sard.
rvris. Manonej, who, was
liCcvV president Iroiil fJ*36 to
iyao, also was active in a targe
riuiiiDef ot outer organizations,
bom camoiic and civic groups.
Tne Arcnbisnop noted tnat sne
served in rugn omce on tne
boams oi, lo organizations.
"one serveu because every
one of tnem contributed in a
special manner to tne spiritual,
civic and social welfare of her
neighbor,” the prelate said.
mrciibishop OTsoyie said that
probably Mrs. Manoney’s great
est contribution to tne NCCvV
was "ner truly Catholic mind
winch snowed concern for ail
peoples even in tne most re
mote parts of tne world.”
Tne Arcnbisnop tnen praised
an educational program winch
sue organized to stuay tne Unit
ed Nations and its agencies; her
hospitality to foreign visitors
and tne Madonna program sue
launched. The last provides
medical and nutritional aid to
clinics throughout tne world.
Other woras of praise for Mrs.
Manoney came from tne current
president of the NCCW, Mrs.
Marx a. Theissen, or Covington,
Ny., ana from Miss Margaret
Meatey, executive secretary of
me inwCVV.
Mrs. Tneissen said, in part:
“heated as sue was, tne eider
sister to ner seven orotiters m
a ioyat, truly Catnoiie family,
Mary Manoney s strength of
cnaracter was reflected m her
every action. Wherever sue
went — and her work took her
tne iengtn and breadth of our
country and across me sea —
her great qualities of mina and
heart were evident.”
Miss Meaiey said: “Her im
mediate concern was with each
and every woman in affiliated
organizations of the United
States, but that concern also
was international in its exten
sion. Seeing the need oi expec
tant mo titers and tne real hun
ger of mothers and babies
throughout the world, Mrs. Ma
honey devised a plan whereby
the Catholic women of the U. S.
could help alleviate this distress
. . . Sne is deeply loved by
those who were privileged to be
associated with her.”
A second Pontifical Requiem
Mass tor tne repose of Mrs. Ma
honey's soul was offered in St.
Justin’s Church, Hartford, on
July 27, by Bishop Hannan.

He had a human mother but no
human father; that which in or
dinary conception is produced
by the action of the iamer was
in this instance produced by a
miracle of the power of God. He
grew in the womb like any other
cniid, and in due course was
born into our world in Bethle
hem.
Of the next thirty years of
His life we know little, fie was
a carpenter, m Nazareth. Then
came me three years oi His pub
lic life. He travelled over Pales
tine witn me twelve followers tie
ha a chosen, the Apos tles, tic
preached of God and man, of
nit itiitgctom, and of Himself as
us founder; by every kind of
miracle, of healing especially,
He showed that Uod was guar
anteeing tne truth of His utter
ance. fie was wmiout mercy for
the sinfulness of the religious
leaders of the Jewish people.
They could only want His death,
and He gave them the pretext
on which, in the name of true
leiigion, they might kill Him.
For He claimed to be, not
Messias only, but God.
Upon a charge of blasphemy,
they persuaded the Roman gov
ernor of Judaea to crucify Him.
He was nailed to a cross on a
hill called Calvary for three
hours till lie died. He was
buried, and on the third day He
rose again. For forty days more
He appeared among His apostles,
then ascended into the sky till a
cloud bid him from their gaze.
In His death, resurrection and
ascension mankind is, redeemed.
That is the story of our re
demption in its barest outline.
We must try to see its meaning,
or as much of its meaning as is
graspabie this side oi death.
Tne first step is to pierce as
deep as we may into me being
of unrist Our Dora. Ana for tins
we must read tne Gospels. The
newcomer to theology, even if
he is not a newcomer to Gospei
reading, should at tnis point tn
his stuay ao what G. K. ohesier-
ton advised—he snouid embark
upon a reading of the Gospels
as though he had never read
them heiore, almost indeed as
though he had never heard the
story before. He must make the
considerable effort to read what
is there.
Two tilings especially make it
difficult for us to read wfiat is
mere.
The first is the extreme brevi
ty of tiie four accounts. They are
intensely concentrated, packed
with meaning. We must learn to
read tnem slowly, comparing
one part with another, trying to
see what they narrate or de
scribe, living them as we read
them.
The second is that we think
we know it already. We shall
consider this further in the next
article.
