QUESTION BOX (Continued from Page 4) leadership of Sir Humphrey • Gilbert, the half-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh (Raleigh was himself in command of one of the ships, the Falcon). Accord ing to J. Moss Ives, in his “The Ark and the Dove,” “it is safe to infer that the majority of the voyagers were Catholics and that the purpose of the expedi tion was to found a Catholic colony in America. Another at tempt at a similar voyage was made early in the following year, but owing to the fact that Raleigh had had a dangerous sea fight with the Spaniards, the Council forbade Gilbert to sail.” IN 1582, Gilbert embarked for the Western World again, this time with five ships. Four even tually reached St. John’s. Be cause the Newfoundland climate was overly severe, however, the group sailed over to Maine, but met disaster in a storm off Cape Race. Only one ship returned to England: the ‘Golden Hind.’ ON EASTER SUNDAY, 1605, finally, the ‘Archangel’ set sail for the Maine coast. The ship landed on May 18, on the isle GOING TO THE PICKRICK?!

Then the ship sailed into Boothbay Harbor (it was named Pentecost Harbor because of the day) and another cross was set up on an island there. For some reason still un known, no permanent settle ment was made, and the ‘Arch angel’ returned to England. Ac cording to Ives again, it is cer tain that the ‘Archangel’ ven ture “represented another effort on the part of the English Cath olics to find a refuge from per secution.” Q. If a person is not bound to keen the Lenten Fast because of weak health, is he actually ob liged to do something else by way of mortification? A. Those excused or dispens ed from the Lenten Fast for reasons such as poor health are obliged to observe some form of self-penance, insofar as pos sible. The Lenten season can be compared on one score to a great spiritual retreat, in that it is a time during which extra ordinary graces are bestowed upon the soul by God. Hence it would be folly to neglect alto gether the means of obtaining such graces. One substitute for the Fast (for those who are legitimately excused or dispensed) is the faithful performance of the works of charity or mercy. An other is the recitation of special prayers or the fulfillment of special devotions. Not to be for gotten here is almsgiving. In the words of Pope St. Leo I: “What we forego by fasting is to be given as alms to the poor.” BARRETT & LEACH Famous Prime Western Beef Fancy Groceries - Fresh Vegetables 3771 Roswell Road CE. 7-0355 Atlanta, Ga.

NOT IF YOU'RE THE PLANNER Dear Doris: I am an eighth grader at a Catholic grade school. Sister, the principal tells us we will have no ceremonies or a school party for graduation. To the stu dents this seems unfair. Every other school has at least a small party and a party is so simple. Do you think this is fair? We are also the first class ever to graduate. Suzanne Dear Suzanne: I understand your disappoint ment. Every one loves a party. But I’m not sure what you mean by ceremonies. So let’s just consider the party idea. You tell me your school is new. This means that Sister has had to face many problems—make many decisions. In a new situa tion this isn’t easy. Whatever is decided this year will be start ing a precedent. It will be the expected thing thereafter. Hence the need to go slowly. Now a party you say, is so simple. Everybody has one. But it’s simple only for the guests. For the principal the party is far from simple. Who shall come? What hours? Who will chaperone? These are just a few of the considerations. If the school is new, remem ber, Suzanne, Sister probably is not yet completely familiar with the parents of your classmates and their ideas about a party. Nor does she feel absolutely certain that she knows all of you. Remember another thing Suz anne, usually Sisters do make decisions with your best inter ests at heart. As an eighth grad er you are old enough, I’m sure, to recognize this and to under stand your principal’s problem. Think over what I have said and I think you will agree— Sister doesn’t want to be unfair. And cheer up. There will he many parties in the future. So be a good sport. LEARN TO USE YOUR TALENTS Dear Doris: If you want to be in a certain profession and do not have the qualifications for if do you ad vise against it? Bill H. Dear Bill: Depends on what qualifica tions you mean. Are they those who should already have or are they the qualifications you would develop with further ed ucation and training? Your letter is rather general so I’ll have to be general in my answer. If you have examined the in formation about a profession and received advice from a teacher or guidance counselor and both sources indicate that you don’t have the qualifica tions for it then my advice is to quit thinking about it. Examine yourself and your own set of qualities. Get inter ested in what you have. Prepare yourself for a job for which your talents equip you. Don’t waste your time wanting to be some body else. We are all different. God has piven each of us our own per sonal set of endowments. While you irr- r not be qualified for o-a rarlicular job, undoubtedly vc” ""aiified for others. No c-- '-as quite the special combi- ” lions of talents, abilities and interests that you have. Learn how to use them. I’m sure a teacher or guidance counselor would be happy to discuss, your interests and abili ties with you. He may even sug gest that you take a couple of standardized tests to help you better understand yourself. And Bill, a good thing to re- Gascade Garoqe Complete Auto Repair Service All Work Guaranteed MEMBER OF I.G.O. OF AMERICA 1405 Gordon St., S.W. PL. 3-2245 GEORGE BOAZMAN, Owner Atlanta, Ga.

STAY 'TOO GOOD’ Dear Doris: I am a junior in high school and have just started dating. I have noticed one thing. "Some" boys seem to think they have priority over the girl they have taken out and insist on first date kisses. When they are re fused they are offended. I am determined not to sin but they keep asking for dates. I have refused. Was that the proper thing to do? They do not speak to me now because they say I think I'm too good for them. Your help will be appreciated. Jenny Dear Jenny: It surely was the proper thing to do. Stay “too good for them,” Jenny. You may spend a few dateless days but your perserv- erence will be repaid. The good word Will spread and you will he amazed at how many moral ly sincere, attractive boys will ask you for a date. Doris Revere Peters answers letters through her column, not by mail. Young readers are in vited to write to her in care of The Bulletin. . Theology for The Layman (Continued from Page 4) whole interest must be in Him, not her. When thought of at all, she must be thought of with re spect. But she is not often thought of. Why should she be? I have put this way of look ing at her as a sort of rough outline of a whole state of mind. In its more extreme utterance it can be so comic that one al most forgets how tragic it is. On the outdoor platform I once had a questioner who said, sol- emnly, “I respect Christ’s moth er as I respect my own.” The overwhelming temotation, when one hears a remark, is to point to the difference between the two sons. But it is necessary to make clear why the difference makes a difference! We are not saying . that mothers of holy children are better than moth ers of less holy. The difference is not between one son who is holy and another who is less obviously so. It is between a son who is God and a son who is man only. In seeing what the difference is, a nood startincr point is the simple fact that this Son existed before His mother. So that He is the only Son who was in a posi tion to choose who His mother should be: He could choose therefore what every son would choose if He could, the mother who would suit him best. Furth er it gobs with the very heart of sonship that a son wants to give his mother gifts: and Christ, being God, could give her all that she would want: to His giving power there was no limit. And what above all she wanted was union with God, the comnletest union possible to a human being of her will with God’s will, grace therefore in her soul. He was her Son, and He gave it lavishlv. She responded total ly, so that she was sinless. It was her response to the grace of God that her supreme in holi ness—higher even than the highest angel, the Church tells us. We may pause for a moment to look at this truth. Bv nature she was lower than the least angel, for human nature as such is less than angelic. But as we have already seen any relation in the order of grace is higher than any in the order of nature. It is by grace that we are closer to God; by our response, that is, to the created share in His own life that God offers us. By grace Our Lady outranks all created beings. But only because she responded more perfectly.

THE CHURCH AND THE SUBURBS, by Andrew M. Greely, Sheed & Ward, $3.50. Father Greely-.is an assistant in a Chicago parish which, ac cording to Monsignor Edward M. Burke, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Chicago, who wrote the introduction to this book, “has many of the aspects of a suburban parish. He is in tensely active in parish work ... in promoting participation in the liturgy . . . and is chap lain to both Young Christian Student and Christian Family Movement groups. This back ground of parish work, coupled with a natural ability in reli gious sociology, has given him an insight into the proglem of suburban. Cathol icism. ” The es*~--= m this book and other arti(Jr" by father Gree ley, who is also editor of Apos- iolate, a cpHy 1 ? journal ot the Specialised Catholic Action Movement have appeared in America, The Commonweal and other Catholic magazines. His book does not “claim to be a work of professional sociology,” he says in his preface. Rather, it is “the result of personal ex perience, of reflection, reading and discussion ... an attempt to report one priest’s impres sions of the suburban migra tion . . .” He asks many questions, he admits, and provides compara tively few answers, the prin ciple reason being “that I don’t know the answers ... At this stage of the development of what I will call suburban hu manism, it seems that merely asking certain questions might be of some service. My purpose is to attempt to begin discus sion, not to attempt to end it.” Readers of his hook will cer tainly find much material there for fruitful contemplation and discussion. He considers first the sub urban expansion in general, then as it relates to the Church and to the family. Sections fol low on suburban humanism and the suburban apostolate. Any of his twenty chapters contains much provocative material. For example, under “The Waning of Enthusiasm” he suggests: “If the Holy Spirit wishes to gen erate enthusiasm among the Catholic middle class in this country, He must penetrate through several layers of cul tural obstacles before He can touch hearts. That hearts are still touched does not prove the absence of obstacles but merely the power of the “Spirit.” And in “A Spirituality for Suburbanites” he lists among the prime requisites “a grow ing awareness of the obligation of educated people to read . . . The reason should be obvious. One will not be a good apostle if one does not think. One will normally not think unless one is exposed to new ideas . . . and the best (in many cases the only) source of new ideas is reading.” WHY I BECAME A MIS- SIONER, edited by Reverend George L. Kane, Newman, $3.25. (Reviewed by Martha Fowler) This is a collection of twenty autobiographical sketches by missionary priests, Sisters, Bro thers and lay missioners. A mis sionary vocation is often diffi cult for the layman to under stand. There is a tendency to consider the missionary a spe cial breed, heroic and extraordi nary. After reading these brief autobiographies, one feels that they were written by people who are quite ordinary — but in an extraordinary way. One of the most interesting is the sketch by Sister Mary Aug ustine, S.M.S.M., entitled “The Ad Said ‘Generous Souls.’ ” Here is the story of a true missionary who at first thought that she had a vocation to the cloister. She was file supervisor for the Federal Housing Administration when, at the age of 27, she en tered the novitiate of the Marist Missionary Sisters. After pro fession she was sent to work in a leprosarium in Jamaica, Brit ish West Indies. Now stationed at Framingham Centre, Mass., she is editor of the popular mag azine, “Marist Missions.” Her story is spiced with good humor. Her account of the dis courses between her spiritual director and herself (when she was “weighing the pros and cons of the cloister versus the missions”) are both amusing and illuminating. Expertly she sums up the life of every missionary by saying, “Truly I found the ‘big thing’ and, with it, the humbling, heroic fact that mis sioners face not one big sacri fice but a lifetime of little ones —that they make their sacrifice not once for all, but whenever necessary, which is often.” I have selected her story as an example, but the reader has here a wide choice to help him discover what it means and what it takes to become a mis- sioner.

BILL DALY'S RED BARN CE. 3-4625 • CE. 3-4531 THE BULLETIN, March 19, :.960-PAGE 5 Little Known About Life Of St. Patrick (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE St. Patrick has been one of the most popular saints for centuries, but even today very little is know with certainty about his life. The patron saint of Ireland, whose feast was celebrated on March 17 with fanfare in many parts of the world, was the apostle of Ireland and Arch bishop of Armagh. He was born about 390 and died somewhere around 460, but exact dates in his life are dis puted by scholars and the two letters he left the world are not much help. Patrick was a farm boy in a part of Britain ruled by the Romans, but terrorized by Irish pagan raiders whenever the Ro mans relaxed their guard. Sometime during his early teens, raiders swept through his neighborhood and carried young Patrick and numerous others off to be used as slaves. For about six years the youtk was held in bondage, tending his master’s herd. He wrote that he prayed hard during these years, reporting: “In a single day, I said as many as a hun dred prayers and at night near ly as many . . .” During his sleep one night, Patrick heard a voice tell him he was ready to return home and that “your ship is ready.” He escaped from his master and walked some 200 miles to a vessel ready to depart from Ireland. When he asked for free pas sage, he was jeered aqd refused. But then he said a silent pray er and the sailors mysteriously changed their mind, inviting him aboard. Getting to freedom was not easy. After three days of sail ing, the ship landed, hut in an uninhabited place. All aboard walked for a month. At one time they were without food, but it was supplied in a herd of wild pigs which came out of nowhere following a prayer by St. Patrick. Eventually, the group reached civilization, probably in Gaul. The order of events in St. Patrick’s next years are un clear. He spent them in Eurooe and it is widely held he studied under saintly Bishop Germanus at Auxeree who later consecrat ed him a bishop and urged him to do missionary work in Ire land . The success of his efforts in converting the pagans in the land where he had been held as a slave are common knowledge. But the idea that it was sim ply a series of neaceful triumphs is wrong. He himself wrote that no fewer than 12 times were he and his companions seized and carried off as captives, only to be freed by an act of God. Tradition tells of one narrow escape which created a martyr. St. Patrick’s devoted chariot driver, Odhran, is supported tc have heard a rumor that th( missionary would be killed as he rode along in the chariot’: seat of honor. Odhran, without telling of the plot, asked St. Patrick to takf the reins that day and allow him to rest in the seat usualR occupied by the saint. Scarcely had they set out, than a well-directed lance pierced the heart of the devoted charioteer. St. Patrick’s technique in spreading the Faith was to call together the pagan leaders and explain Christian teachings to them. Then he would approach the ordinary people. His lectures, tradition says, explain the use of the shamrock, a bright-green leaf with three parts, as Ireland’s national sym bol and as decoration of Irish men on March 17. The saint is supposed to have pulled one of the leaves from the ground to illustrate Chris tian teaching on the Blessed Trinity.
