BOOK REVIEWS EDITED BY EILEEN HALL 3087 Old Jonesboro Road., Hapeville, Georgia Each issue of this Rook Page is confided to the patronage of Mary, Mediatrix of All graces, with the hope that every reader and every contributor may be specially favored by her and her Divine Son. HAMMER AND FIRE, by Rapheal Simon, O.C.S.O., Kene dy, $3.95. (Reviewed by Cecilia L. Hines) This is a very rich book—al most too rich. It has an im mense scope when it attempts to spread out before man the subject of Divine Happiness and Mental Health. For any layman to -get its powerful impact on his personal spiritual life it must be taken in small and con centrated doses. Hammer and Fire takes its title from the prophet Jeremias (28:29), and seeks to develop mental peace for man by spirit ual reading (the hammer) aided by prayer, grace and other HUEY’S DRUG STORE GORDON STREET'S MOST COMPLETE LINE OF DRUGS AND SUPPLIES PRESCRIPTIONS EXPERTLY FILLED PL. 3-1108 1002 Gordon St., S.

In the final chapter the important place that psychology has as a guide at the present time is discussed in detail and some length. One of the most interesting chapters treats of The New Adam and Eve—The Fruit of the Tree of Life. It brings out very clearly how the great Physician diagnoses our ill and tells us that love of self is at the root of all sin. Then follows an itemized list which sums up a number of other sins (often passed over as unimportant) and their sources. As a layman I feel that this chapter will be of great value and a consolation to many good people who have gained from their catechism only a general idea of the great sacrament of penance. This book contains spiritual reading in the very best sense; forceful and gentile, practical and uplifting. There are times when the context does seem rather long drawn out. An appendix containing prac tical hints and recommendations is divided into different cata- gories which makes it more helpful to the student. For some reason an index is omitted; it would he of equal if not more value to the studious reader when he is seeking particular and related assistance in mo ments of uncertainty. Father Raphael Simon is a Cistercian monk who entered the order in America at the age of 31. He has several college degrees and training in psycho logy. Since his ordination in 1947 he has served as novice master, confessor and spiritual advisor to both laity and priests. The story of his conversion was published as an autobiography under the title The Glory of Thy People, and has been widely read. PAPERBACK BOOKS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE MODERN WORLD, by E. E. Y.

ONLY ON ANNIVERSARY Clarify Requirement For Indulgence in Kissing Wedding ling VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC) —The Acts of the Holy See, the official Vatican publication, has published a clarification in con nection with an indulgence for married persons who kiss the wife’s wedding ring and recite a prayer. The indulgence was granted last January and may have giv en the impression that the in dulgence could be gained daily, the clarification said. The pub lication pointed out, however, that this indulgence can be gained only on the anniversary of the wedding. The January announcement WASHINGTON (NC)—A spir itual retreat gives a “perspec tive of what we are, why we are in the world and of our eternal destiny,” the representa tive of His Holiness Pope John XXIII in the U. S. declared here. Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, Apostolic Delegate to the U. S., told 800 m&n of the Loyola Re treat League at their annual Communion breakfast, that a retreat is the “most powerful means of recharging our spirit ual life.” He said that American Cath olics are “far above average” in the practice of their religion and in their cooperation in the work of the Church. He warmly commended the introduction of the dialogue Mass in all churches in the Washington archdiocese as - a means of letting the laity “par ticipate more intimately in the spiritual benefits of the Mass.” The Archbishop said he has been edified by the growing in terest of the laity in the life and work of the Church. He added: “This invaluable help comes at an opportune time when civili zation is facing perhaps its greatest threat—atheistic com munism.” Catholics “must join men of goodwill everywhere in the con tinuing and ceaseless fight” against communism, he said. said that a 300-day partial in dulgence could be gained by couples who “piously kissing, together or singly, the wedding ring of the bride, recite the prayer: ‘Grant us O Lord, that loving you we may love one an other and live according to your holy law,’ or another similar prayer.” The purpose of the indul gence, according to an official decree, was to promote married love and fidelity during a time when the natural and divine laws governing marriage are neglected. “United by our faith, we have the solemn duty of helping to lead the fight against commu nism’s terrible menace to our freedoms, and to the security of our homes, our families and our whole Christian way of life,” he said. Emphasizing that every com munist is the dedicated apostle of treachery, violence, deceit, sedition and falsehood, he said that every Catholic, “must be a dedicated Christian opposing by every lawful means the tyran ny, slavery, oppression and ter ror of communism.” Archbishop Vagnozzi was in troduced by Auxiliary Bishop Philip M. Hannan of Washing ton. Earlier the Bishop offered a Mass for the members of the Loyola Retreat in St. Patrick’s church. Father James A. Martin, S.J., director of the Loyola Retreat House, at Faulkner, Md., and Judge Charles Fahy of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Dis trict of Columbia, also spoke. Among the guests of honor were Associate Justices Charles Whit taker and William Brennan, Jr., of the U. S. Supreme Court. ~™ "brookwood” SERVICE STATION 1‘un Oil Products - Tires - Lubrication - Tail Pipe - Mufflers - Brake Work MR. CLAY, Prop. Hoad Service - Pick-Up & Delivery 1820 Peachtree Rd., N.W.
