THE PRIEST AH AMBASSADOR OF CHRIST One day as Our Lord went about doing good, a rich young man came to see Him. This young man loved Our Lord but he also loved money and a good time. He asked Christ what he could do for Him. Our Lord told him to keep His command ments. The man told Our Lord he had always done this but could he do some more. Christ then told him if he really want ed to be perfect, he must rid of all his riches and give them to the poor and follow Him. The young man turned away sad saying to himself, “I am too young to give up all my riches, pleasure and good times.” Our Lord was sad, too. But there are men who willingly give up all for God. These men are God’s priests. The priest is another Christ. He is carrying on Christ’s work and taking Christ's place for us. Before Our Lord went home to heaven He made ail His apos tles priests and gave them the command to teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spi rit. And that is what priests have been doing for more than nineteen hundred years. Priests are always busy. Some priests take care of the schools. Some take care of the boys in service. Some visit the hospitals and some are Trap- pists and stay home and pray ☆ ☆ ☆ D10CEAH ESSAY WINNERS COLUMBUS DEANERY Group I — Peggy Barton, age 17, grade 12, 1803 Gail Avenue, St. Teresa’s Church, Albany, Georgia.

We do not have enough priests in Georgia and the Bishop has built a seminary in Savannah to train some more boys. There are fourteen boys there this year and we hope they will all be priests. Some day I hope to be a Catholic and become a priest. I would like to be a trailer priest. Then I could go all over Georgia and teach people who know nothing about God. But all I can do for the present is study hard and pray that some day my dreams may come true. CHARLES FORDE, grade 6 Immaculate Conception School, Augusta, Georgia.

It is a matter entirely for individual countries to handle as they deem best.” Missionary Priest Uncovbers Unusual Baptism In Korea KUMWHA, Korea (NC) — “Baptism by bombardment” might be the phrase used to ac count for the unusual situation uncovered by a Columban mis sionary here as he was taking a census of his parish recently. Father Richard Parle, S.S.C., of Omaha, Neb., first got an ink ling that he might have an ex tra Catholic family in his parish when he questioned Joseph Kim, a tailor, and his wife, Mary. The couple had lived in Kumwha since 1954, but had not contacted a priest because they were never quite sure whether or not they were Catholics. Further questions by Father Parle brought out a strange tale. Mrs. Kim was born in north Korea and attended a Catholic school for eight years, but was not baptized. She fled north Korea and the communists in 1946 and came to south Korea where she met and married Ha- koo Kim. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, they were living in Seoul with their two children, one just an infant. During the Red bombardment of the city, they were in imminent danger of being killed by shell fire. All around them houses were being hit and demolished. Mrs. Kim remembered her days in the Catholic school and although never baptized, recall ed the ritual and meaning of that sacrament. What she learn ed many years ago, she now put to use. First she baptized her two children. Then she instructed her husband in the fundamen tals of the Catholic Faith as she remembered them and chose a Christian name for him. She baptized him with the name, Joseph. Joseph, in turn, baptized her with the name, Mary. Shortly afterwards the two children were killed by falling debris as the family crouched beside a wall. Now, 10 years later, these parents of three healthy chil dren are attending doctrine classes and Father Parle hopes to have them ready for their First Communion next Easter.

Kirk Sutlive will be the speaker for the March meet ing and his appearance is al ways looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure. Mrs. C. J. Coburn showed the film of the Football Banquet held recently in honor of the Cathedral Team, who were this year’s winners of the Parochial League. Mrs. D. E. McLendon of the Civic Committee reported that five ladies had participated in the March of Dimes Drive with very successful results.

Family parish in Columbus, was Fr. Shaun McCarty, M.S.,Ss.T., an instructor at St. Joseph’s Preparatory Seminary. The title of Father’s talk was “The Chris tian Idea of Love and Steady Dating.” Addressing the group of about thirty-five boys and girls at the Goo Goo Restaurant in Colum bus, Father sketched the Chris tian ideal of love which would include: a consideration of God as a necessary “Third Party,” a bind that tends to be more than merely sensible attraction, and the tendency of each person to place the good of the other be fore his own pleasure. In measuring the practice of steady dating against the ideal of genuine love, Father Shdun observed, “In the years when boys and girls are learning to love wisely and well, steady dating can stifle proper devel opment by falling short of the Christian ideal. “Very often the practice of steady dating leaves God out of the picture by flaunting autho rity and by placing young peo ple in occasions when God’s laws may be easily broken. In addition, such relationships are often based on an attraction no deeper than the smile of a pret ty face or the glimmer of a fra ternity pin. Rather than tending towards an unselfish relation ship, going steady often monop olizes the time of another per son thus hampering their proper individual and social develop ment.” CHARACTER There is sometimes room for improvement for the interior decorator beneath the exterior of the polished man. LETS IT SLIDE “Haste makes waste” is the perfect excuse for the man who expects to finish his work to morrow. The man who is afraid to risk failure can never attain success. Protestant Minister Is Denounced By Daily Paper For Printing Bogus K. of C. “Oath” In (N.C.W.C. News Service) AKRON, Ohio — A daily newspaper has criticized a Pro testant minister for publishing in his church bulletin the bogus “Knights of Columbus oath.” The Akron Beacon Journal said in an editorial that the sug gested viciousness in a para graph of "the bogus oath" should have convinced the Rev. William G. Dieringer, pastor of the South Akron Church of Christ, "that he was dealing with a crude and malicious hoax. But he was not warned." The particular paragraph in the bogus oath calls for waging "relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Masons" to the extirpate them from the face of the earth without regard to age, sex or condition by hang ing, burning, boiling, strangling, burying alive, to "rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants' heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race." The editorial said that the minister had received a copy of the bogus oath from a member of his church, “who had seen it in a publication of the Moreland Christian Church of Canton where it was attributed to the Congressional Record of Feb. 15, 1913.” The Rev. Mr. Dieringer took the trouble to ascertain that the statement was printed in the Congressional Record of that date, the editorial coniinued, but if "he had taken jusl a lit tle more trouble he could have found out WHY it was printed." The Akron paper explained that the bogus oath was printed in the Congressional Record in connection with an expose of the falsity of the oath. The edi torial also said that the Congres sional Record of January 20, 1915, printed the findings of a committee of California Free Masons who examined the cere monials and pledges of the Knights of Columbus and re ported: “We find that neither the alleged oath nor any oath or pledge bearing the remotest resemblance thereto in matter, manner, spirit and purpose is u&ed or forms a part of the ce remonies of any degree of the Knights of Columbus. The al leged oath is scurrilous, wicked and libelous, and must be the invention of an impious and venemous mind.” The editorial charged that ihe Rev. Mr. Dieringer's purpose in distributing _the bogus _oath among members of his congre gation was made clear by a note in the church bulletin which said: "Before you vote for a Catholic for ANY office (you) should realize what his stand must be as a faithful Catholic according to this oath of the Knights of Columbus . . The Akron paper said that the incident took place on St. Valentine’s Day and at the Be ginning of Brotherhood Week, and that it was “singularly in appropriate either as a Valen tine or as a testimonial to the brotherhood of man.” The editorial concluded: "We hope and do believe, however, that the Rev. Mr. Dieringer's act and his congregation's re sponse thereto were not at all representative of Protestant thinking or a fair measure of the degree of brotherhood that prevails in America and in Ak ron today."
