JOSEPH BRE1G
BEAUTY AND THE WOMAN
The thing that is centrally
and most profoundly wrong
with beauty contests, as we
know them, is that they are liv
ing lies, alluringly masked. It is
true that they are potential
tempt ations
against purity;
hut that is not
the deepest
heart of the
matter.
To endanger
purity — that
mag nificient
virtue — is
bad enough; but to pervert hu
man integrity, to distort our
view of all reality so that we
see and think falsely, judge
erroneously, and therefore mis
direct our lives—this is deadly.
Women, even more than men,
ought to be inflexible onponents
of these displays. Yes, the flesh
ly parades, the pictures in the
the newspapers and magazines,
and all that, add uo to one more
stumbling-block for manly no-
bih’tv.
BUT WHAT WOMEN must
realize is that the contests are
a contomntuous insult to. and a
gross falsification of, evervthing
womanhood is. They undermine
the truths that are indisnensahle
for protection of woman’s rights
and dignity.
What these affairs say to us is
this —that a woman’s worth is
measured by her physical
charms; that she is entitled to
honor according to her bodily
and facial form: and conversely,
that if she is not thus endowed,
she is of little consequence.
Those are lies. Thev are fatal
lies because thev falsify what is
most vitally important about
human beings, and in a special
way about women: and also be
cause thev strike at the founda
tions of the three things partic
ularly dearest to women.
THOSE THREE THINGS a-e
marriage, the family and the
home. These three great build
ing blocks of civilization and
virtue cannot rest upon the no
tion that the bodv is greater
than the spirit, that straight
limbs are more desirable than
splendor of soul.
It is a wicked and dangerous
thing to say to young men. in ef
fect, that what thev should seek
in a wife is what they would
look for in a racehorse; and that
that is the whole story. But that
is what the beauty contests tell
us.
This is a grievous injustice to
the countless young women
whose desirability lies mainly in
their goodness, their loyalty,
their intelligence, their self-
sacrifice — in the permanent

(By John C. O'Brien)
Of the many ways in which
the Lincoln Sesquicentennial
Commission has sought to honor
America’s most revered Presi
dent, Abraham Lincoln, perhaps
the most unusual was the pre
sentation to the Vatican Library
of a Latin translation of the
Gettysburg Address.
This famed address, written
by a man who had had a mini
mum of formal education, has
long excited the wonder of Eng
lish stylists, A committee of
English professors at one of
England’s great universities
once made an exhaustive study
of the address, testing it to see
whether by a different choice
of words, a change of sentence
structure, or a rearrangement
of the thought, it could be im
proved. Their conclusion was
that any alteration would weak
en it.
IN CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
The Latin translation is the
work of the Rt. Rev. Edwin
Ryan, D. D., of White Plains,
N. Y., a life-long student of
the Latin language and a pro
lific writer on the history of
the Latin tongue.
At a recent ceremony in
Washington, Msgr. Ryan’s trans
lation, engrossed on vellum, was
presented to His Excellency
Egidio Vagnozzi, the Apostolic
Delegate to the United States,
for transmission to His Holiness,
Pope John XXIII.

Question
Box
By David Q. Liplak
Q. Is it un-CVn-istian to want
to become a millionaire?
A. To want to become a mil
lionaire is not in itself un-
Christian, at least not insofar
as the moral code of Christiani-
tv is concerned. Theoreticallv,
the desire for great wealth
could even be praiseworthy,
provided that one’s motives
were absolutely unselfish and
entirely directed toward mag
nifying the honor and glory of
God.
The rub is. however, that
both the desire for and the ac
cumulation of riches can auick-
lv render the soul nrey tt> ava
rice. i.e., an inordinate love for
earthly possessions.
Avaricious motivations can
render one’s quest for wealth
immoral from the verv begin
ning. It would be sinful, for ex-
amnle, for one to want to be a
millionaire for the sake of
wealth itself, or just to enjoy
the pleasures money will buv,
or merely in order to attain
power and Drestige over men
or nations. Evil intentions such •
as these can become so intense
that God is cnmoletelv driven
out from one’s heart. Riches be
come a kind of deitv: the ac
cumulation of them, a species of
idolatry.
Greed can occasion other
sins, particularly in the wimw
whereby one acquires .and uses
his wealth. The prospective
avaricious millionaire is likely
to drive for material profit re
gardless of the strict rights of
others, thus crossing the virtue
of justice. In his selfish pursuit
he is apt to neglect his obliga
tion to charity to others, espe
cially the poor. He mav even ig
nore the duty he has to safe
guard his own physical and
mental health. Deceit, thievery,
perjury, restlessness, violence,
treachery an dinsensibility to
mercy can also result.
In the words of St. Thomas
Aquinas:
“According to St. Paul (I
Timothy VI: 10), this vice is a
source of all evils, for by riches
man acquires the means of com
mitting any sin whatever and of

SHARING OUR TREASURE
Invitation To Inquiry Class
Leads To Conversion
By REV. JOHN A. O'BRIEN, Ph. D.
(University of Notre Dame)
The good example of Cath
olics, their willingness to speak
about their holy Faith and par
ish Information Classes are
helping to lead an increasing
number of truthseekers into the
Church. They ,
are often the
c h a n n els
through which
God sends
the precious
gift of Faith.
This is shown
by the ex
perience of
Mrs. Dorothv Kraus of West
Seneca, New York.
“As a young girl,” said Mrs.
Kraus, “I went to different
Churches, the denomination of
which depends on the religion
of my playmates. My parents
had separated, and I felt the
need of the stabilizing influ
ence which only close union
with God can give. At 18 I
started going with a young man
who had fallen away from the
Catholic Church and become a
Baptist.
“I went with him to the Bap
tist Church, but it left me un
satisfied. My friend became fan
atical on the subject, gloomy
and morose. I felt instinctively
that the true religion should
give one peace, serenity and
joy, and hence I parted com
pany with him and his church.
“Then I began to date Nelson
Kraus, a young Catholic law
yer. I could see how much his
religion meant to him and the
great happiness he derived
from receiving Holy Commun
ion. Upon returning from Mass
Nelson’s face would be lit up
with a smile and his heart was
full of joy.
“When I visited the Kraus
family, I sensed the deep reli
gious atmosphere of the home
and saw how their Faith bound
them closely together. I found
myself reflecting that if my
parents had gone to church to
gether and prayed together,
they would not have separated.
“After our marriage we mov
ed into our new home in St.
William’s parish. There I be
came acquainted with two Cath
olic neighbors who deepened
my interest in the Faith bv tell
ing me the peace and security
it brought to them. I still hes
itated to take the step, so dif
ficult for a Protestant, of go
ing to the rectory to apply for
instruction.
“The ‘break’ came one day
when Monsignor Francis Grow-
ney, pastor of St. William’s,
was passing by our home. See
ing me in the yard; he stopped
and greeted me. Then he told
me that the Buffalo diocese was
taking a house-to-house relig
ious census and every Darish
’WotrM ■ *s Pq*n bh -conducting a,
public Inquiry Class.
“ ‘You will be as welcome as
the flowers in spring,’ he as
sured me, ‘and you don’t have
to commit yourself in advance.
Come and see what the Cath
olic Church has to offer you.
Pray to God for guidance and
He won’t fail you. Here’s a
pamphlet, Finding Christ's
Church, which will help you.’ _
“It was just what I needed
to take the all-important step:
going to a rectory for syste
matic instruction. Until that is
done, you’re just beating the
bushes and getting nowhere.
The fact, that I wasn’t asked to
commit myself in advance and
that others would be there,
made, the set-up perfect.
“Monsignor G r o w n e y ex
plained everything clearly and
drove home the divine charac
ter of the Catholic religion —
established by Christ — and the
authority of the Catholic
Church to teach in Christ’s
name. The charts in Finding
Christ's Church bring out these
facts so clearly that even a
child can grasp them. I could
hesitate no longer.
“Along with the other mem
bers of the class, I was baptized
by Monsignor Growney and re
ceived our Eucharistic Lord the
following day. Peeace and joy
flooded my soul. Now our fam
ily is more closely united than
ever before and Christ is the
bond,”

Of darkness and doubt,
Lest Thy people perish.”

• KHRUSHCHEV'S VISIT
will have passed into history
by the time this column appears
in print. History will give it a
rightful place. However, we
would go on record for certain
comment. There is much hys
teria. One of the strongest state
ments made during the pre
visit period came from the ar
ticulate Bishon Leo Pursley of
Fort Wayne, Indiana. Some of
the smoke clears when we hear
Bishop Pursley state: “It is my
understanding that our Presi
dent and his guest do not speak
each other’s langauge. This is a
minor, superficial problem
which can be readily solved by
interpreters. Who will bridge
the other differences, the other
distances between them? Who
will interpret the mind of God
to one who does not believe in
God? Who will interpret the
mind of America to one who
spells freedom with letters that
mean force? Pray for the mira
cle of grace but, remember,
By JOHN C. O’BRIEN
nial Commission, said that the
Latin translation was being pre
sented to the Vatican Library
“in the hope that it will recall
to all who view it, the ideals
and life of Lincoln.” Later in
the Senate, Cooper obtained per
mission to have the Latin trans
lation printed in the Congres
sional Record so that it “may
be more widely available to
libraries and to persons inter
ested in the study of Latin.”
Msgr. Ryan, who attended the
presentation ceremony, said that
it was fitting that the Gettys
burg Address should have a
place in the Archives of the
Vatican in the official language
of the Church because the ideals
expressed in it were in “per
fect accord with the teaching
of Christ’s Church.”
Lincoln, he said, had express
ed succinctly the truth that hu
man freedom is based upon hu
man equality. While recognizing
the inequalities of bodily vigor
and intellectual endowment,
Msgr. Ryan pointed out, Lincoln
had reminded us that beneath
those inequalities lies a funda
mental equality, an essential
concomitant of human nature.
The Church, too, the trans
lator of the address noted, had
ever insisted that the. inequali
ties that are obvious, and even
inequalities in the distribution
of grace, “do not contravene the
essential equality of men, of
all men, as human beings.”
FUNDAMENTAL HARMONY
“It is our hope,” Msgr. Ryan
added, “that this document in
the language of the Roman
Patriarchate will remain in the
Eternal City as a testimony to
the fundamental harmony that
is heard when Abraham Lincoln
proclaims in the order of nature
what St. Paul proclaims in the
order of grace.”
Archbishop Vagnozzi describ
ed the Gettysburg address as
“one of the greatest documents
ever issued by man.” He said
“it is a great American docu
ment, a great human document,
and I might : truly say it is a
great Christian document.’
Such praise would have fallen
strangely upon the ears of the
Civil War president as he sat
down after delivering his ad
dress. For he believed it had
been a failure. He was preceded
by Edward Everett, one of the
nation’s greatest orators, who
gave a long and full resume of
the battle of Gettysburg. Lin
coln’s address was so short that
a photographer could not get
his camera in focus in time to
take a picture of the President
while he still was speaking. Yet,
Everett’s address, widely ac
claimed when he delivered it,
has long since been forgotten,
while the Gettysburg address
is known to almost every school
child.
Five copies of the address in
Lincoln’s handwriting are ex
tant. The first and second drafts,
prepared in Washington* and at
Gettysburg just before delivery,
are in the Library of Congress.

QUOITS & BEZIQUE
Cardinal Gibbons was a great
man. An important - element of
greatness, they tell me, is sim
plicity. One of the churchmans’
secrets of success, then, was re
vealed in a news story about
the celebration, of the 125th an
niversary of the Cardinal’s
birth.
The Cardinal liked nothing
better,, so. the story goes, than
to spend quiet hours with his
friends, on. his birthday and to
join congenial companions at a
game of quoits or a hand of
bezique.
My, admiration for the Car
dinal has soared to new heights.
Anyone who can have fun play
ing quoits and bezique is de
serving of praise. I didn’t even
know what they were. Now I
do. The dictionary says that
quoits is a game something like
horseshoes and that bezique is
“a card game similar to pinochle
but using 64 cards.” So there.
Even a Cardinal can have a fling
on occasion.
Let us take a good look at
our idea of pleasure. Or, for a
discussion of what we might call
organized pleasure: recreation.
This is no dead issue. We have
much more leisure time than
our ancestors had. On the other
hand, the pressures of modern
life are greater than they were
in great-grandpa’s day. These
two extremes can lead either
to a fixation for pleasure, or to
a scornful attitude toward rec
reation.
Take the pleasure-mania first.
Golf can get you. A friend told
me that on the greens recently
a member of the group behind
him was quite fidgety. Finally,
the nervous one tapped him on
M FATIMA STATUE IN ROME
the shoulder and said, “Pardon,
but would you mind if I played
through? I’ve just heard that my
wife has been taken seriously
ill.”
This gentleman has undoubt
edly contracted a 20th-century
malady: Giddiness for Golf.
There are dozens and dozens of
jokes about golfers; but numer
ous other manias can be de
veloped with a little practice;
Hankering for Horses, Cupidity
for Cards and Frenzy for Fish
ing. These are only a few of the
Hobby Hungers that have some
times broken up families, de
stroyed businesses and wasted
talents.
The other mistaken attitude
toward pleasure is just the op
posite: the puritanical notion
that enjoyment is for pagans or
weaklings. “Life is serious,” says
Emmanuel Q. Executive,
“there’s work to be done, money
to be made. The world can’t get
along without me.” Can’t get
along without him, this is, until
he suffers a heart, attack, or
ulcers, or a nervous breakdown.
The fellow who “just can’t re
lax” and the fellow whose life
is one long vacation have both
swerved off the road. They fail
to realize that pleasure is good
and necessary in its place. It’s
a part of God’s plan. The old
saying that “virtue takes a mid
dle course” finds perfect appli
cation in this matter.
If golf is your goal or fishing
your final cause of alcohol your
aim—then it means you’ve gone
off the road—far to the left. If
your life leaves no time for re
laxation (especially with fami
ly), then you’ve gone too far
to the right. The middle of the
road might be a dangerous place
to drive your car. But on the
narrow road of virtue, the mid
dle is the only place for sanity
and sanctity.
Those who go to extremes in
all-pleasure or no-pleasure are
in effect following old party
lines. One party, started by Lu
ther and organized by Calvin,
claimed Adam and Eve really
ruined us. Our human nature
is totally corrupt, their platform
stated. The next step followed
easily: the assertion that all
kinds of pleasure and enjoyment
are inventions of the devil.
The other party, led by a fel
low named Pelagius, insisted
that Adam’s Apple had no effect
on us. Human nature is perfect.
A Frenchman, Rousseau, took
up the idea and stressed our
freedom to do what we want.
Pleasure is good; the sky’s the
limit.
The Church’s teaching, of
course, is that our human nature
is neither completely corrupt
nor perfectly sound. It has been
weakened by the sin of our first
parents. Therefore we have to
watch our tendency to go to
extremes. Pleasure is good: it
has a definite place in life. But
it must be governed by modera
tion.
Our Lord Himself set the ex
ample when He indulged in in
nocent pleasures: eating and
drinking and conversing with
friends. The Church’s attitude
toward dancing, alcohol, tobacco
and so forth is inspired by this
common-s e n s e middle-of-the-
road approach. The use of these
things according to God’s plan
is good .The misuse or abuse of
them make them wrong.
It would be tragic to build
your whole life around golf (un
less you’re a golf pro) or alcohol
(unless you’re a bartender) or
horse racing (unless you’re a
horse). But it is equally pitiful
to harm yourself by scorning
the recreation that you need for
good health of soul and body.
Your family-life, your prayer-
life and your life-in-general
might be grately improved by
such simple things as a round
of golf or a game of duck-pins.
Or even by a hand of bazique,
if you can find a 64-card deck.
