MART OF THE ANGELS CONVENT 1000 30th Street |i Rock Island Illinois ! 7 QUESTION BOX (Continued from Page 4) knows (a simple telephone call to the rectory can confirm one’s impression as a thelogical mat ter, for example), in Composing the letter, one should not hesitate to make use of authoritative quotations, since they swiftly give the lie to falsehood and half-truths. Thus in a current Saturday Evening Post Letters Column, a writer summarily dismisses one author’s absurd assumptions regarding the so-called “mother or the children dilemma”—ac tually it is a myth—by quoting directly from the words of Pope Pius XII, SECONDLY, letters to editors should be charitable as well as correct. Certainly, the use of cynicism, sarcasm and similar devices should be scrupulously avoided. For that matter, it would be stupid to resort to such means when proceeding against articles founded upon ignorance of fact. For there is no more final, thoroughly level ing argument than the absolute rejection of the very premises upon which a misinformed writer has chosen to build what he erroneously thought was a solid case. LETTERS SHOULD ALSO be direct and concise. Oftimes it is sufficient to demonstrate an author’s inaccuracy on a sin gle issue, in. order to cast doubt on his entire thesis. Writing letters to editors can be an important apostolate, in that the dissemination of truth and contradiction of error is unquestionably a meritorious work, provided that it is pur sued in charity, humility and justice; and, of course, for the greater honor and glory of God.

Each Account Insured Up To $10,000,00 SAVE BY MAIL Theology for The Layman (Continued from Page 4) ing in Plis power the things He had done for men in His body, as he wants them done now. The first strong hint is in the changing of his name from Simon to Peter, which means Rock, with the meaning of the change made clear to Matthew (XVI, 17-20)—“Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church ...” If you do not know the words by memory, reread the passage now. Read too what Our Lord said to Peter at the Last Supper (Luke XXIII, 28-32). We may concentrate here upon the words in which Christ makes Peter to be the shepherd of the flock (John XXI, 15-18). in three phrases Peter is told that he must feed the lambs and the sheep: which involves a com mand to the whole flock to be fed by him. But with what food? Three times Our Lord speaks of food. To the Devil tempting Him He quotes Deuteronomy: “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God:” so what God speaks is food. To His disciples urging Him to eat (John IV. 34), He says “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me”—so the divine law is food. And to the multitude whom He had fed with five loaves and two fishes He had said (John VI. 55) “The man who eats my flesh and drinks my blood en joys eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day:” so His body and blood are food. With Truth and Law and sac rament Peter must see to it that we are fed—Peter and the men who one by one shall succeed him as shepherds till the end of time. Yet not by their own power. After each of the commissions He gave to Peter Our Lord add ed a rebuke. In Matthew XVI, He says to Peter “Get thee be hind me Satan,” for Peter was urging Him not to go to Jerusa lem and suffer. In Luke XXII, there is almost worse: “before the cock crows, thou shalt deny me thrice.” And there is. a strange phrase near the end of John XXI “What is it to thee?” Peter became a saint; many of his successors have been canonised too; many startle us by the small show of sanctity. So with bishop and priests. We rejoice in the evidently holy, we may be sad at others. But the power in which, by which, we live is never theirs. It is al ways Christ’s. It is Christ we join when we join the Church, not the man who at any given moment direct it here upon earth. The gifts come to us through them: but always from Him. Most people find it easy to look at the bright side of life as long as it is turned their way. CURRAN NURSERY WEST END HEADQUARTERS FOR QUA MTV SHRUBS — TREES — SEEU FERTILIZER 2365 Sewell Rd.

(NC Photos) Encyclical (Continued on Page 3) have been solved with prejudic ed solutions which in the future would constitute a force per haps too great to overcome, and would present further obstacles to the evangelization of the world. “It is in the field of public activity that the laity of mis sion countries have their most direct and preponderant activi ty, and it is necessary to see with the greatest timeliness and urgency that the Christian com munities offer to their earthly countries, for their common good, men who may honor the various professions and activi ties at the same time as they honor of their solid Christian life the Church that has regen erated them through grace . . . “In particular in the field of the problems of the organiza tion of the school, or organized social assistance, or work, or political life, the presence of native Catholic eexperts will have the most happy and bene ficial influence ... so long as they base their intentions and their actions on Christian prin ciples which long history shows to be efficient and decisive in achieving the common good.” Pope John extended his ap peal not only to Catholics in mission lands but “also to all those lay Catholics wherever they emeerge in the professions and in public life, that they may seriously consider the possibili ty of helping their newly ac quired brothers, even without leaving their country. Their ad vice, their experience, their technical assistance will be .able without excessive labor and without serious discomfort to make a sometimes decisive con tribution.” The Pope asked bishops throughout the world to take care of young people who come to their countries to study. He reminded them that these stu dents are living in a society that is strange to them. He asked that they assign priests and lay men to work at finding these students and at protecting their faith. In conclusion the Pope ex pressed his gratitude toward “all those who dedicate them selves to the cause of the prop agation of the Faith ... to the dear missionaries of the regu lar and diocesan clergy, to the women Religious so exemplarily generous and so valuable for the need of the missions, to lay mis sionaries who readily run to the frontiers of the Faith ... to ail the Bishops, clergy and faithful of the dioceses of the whole world who contribute .. with prayers and offerings to the spi ritual and material needs of the missions.” He addressed a particular word of comfort to the. Church of Silence: “To the holy pastors who give their spiritual sons the example of a Faith that does not bend and a faithfulness that does not yield even at the price of sacrificing life; to the faithful thus so sorely tried but so dear to the Hear of Jesus Christ who has promised happiness and copious mercy to those who suf fer persecution for justice’s sake, We address Our exhorta tion to persevere in their holy fight. For the Lord, always mer ciful in His inscrutable designs, will not leave them without the help of the most percious graces and of intimate consolation. With the persecuted there is, in the communion of prayer and sufferings, the whole Church of God, sure in the expectation of victory.” Atlanta Services Mrs. Harry Goodwin ATLANTA—Funeral services for Mrs. Harry Goodwin were held December 2nd at the Im maculate Heart of Mary Church, Rev.
