DRAMA OF THE ROSARY, by Isidore O’Brien, O.F.M. (St. Anthony Guild Press) 158 pp., $1.50. Reviewed by Leo J. Zuber In view of the encourage ment given to the increased use of the rosary, particularly by the praying family, it is well to consider ways of in creasing the effectiveness of its use. This book has gone through several revisions since it was first published in 1944; its many reprintings testify to its popularity and utility. Father O’Brien writes inter estingly, even entertainingly, about each of the fifteeen mysteries. In a way there is nothing new about this book yet we need to be reminded of the very things we know— or think we know. And we benefit by having things put in proper perspective; then we can see and better understand them. The rosary can become a monotonous repetition if one does not grasp and hold the significance of the context of each mystery. How much more meaningful is it to view the story, i.e., the mystery, of the Visitation as it relives the vital relationship between Mary and her Unborn, Jesus, and her cousin, Elizabeth and her unborn, to become John the Baptist. John’s job was to prepare and to- pave the way for Jesus and His work. The mystery of-the Visitation is no mystery in the more common sense of that term. The rela tionship, even the working re lationship, of John with Jesus, began before their births. As Father O’Brien writes, “In the strong words of St.^Luke, Eliz- CELEBRATING. 70 YEARS EXTERMINATORS CE. 7-8694 Free Inspection Atlanta, Ga.

Broadview Plaza abeth ‘cried out with a loud voice,’ in the urgency of the grace which enveloped her, ‘Behold, the moment that the sound of thy greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb lept for joy.’ It is the common opinion of theolo gians that at that moment John was cleansed from origi nal sin; and many of the Fa thers of the Church and later teachers believe that he was then given, for a moment at least, a flash of consciousness in which he recognized the un born presence of the Redeemer Whose Precursor he was later to be.” Such is the remembrance of things we have known but which may have grown dull or out of focus. One thing is sure, the rosary will become far more meaningful and full of grace as the significance of the mysteries takes on renewed form and shape. To gain that end, it is not suggesting too much that individuals and families take this book to heart to renew their know ledge of the mysteries. SOUL AND PSYCHE, by Victor White, O.P., (Harper), 1960, 312 pp., $5.00. Reviewed by- Flannery O'Connor Subtitled “An enquiry into the relationship of psychiatry and religion,” this book ex plores more thoroughly some of the same ground that Fr. White surveyed in GOD AND THE UNCONSCIOUS. H i s main object in this study is to show that the conception of a separation of soul and psyche is untenable from the stand point of both pastor and psy chiatrist. This is a proposition hotly denied by a great many eminent psychiatrists and the ologians. Whether Fr. White convinces the reader of his point or not, he will at least deepen his understanding of the relationship between the two. Some of the most interest ing parts of the book are hints thrown off in passing which show that attention to the study of archetypes could benefit the Church in some of the acute pastoral problems she faces today. In discussing the prevalent lapse of Cath olics brought up in Catholic homes and educated in Cath olic schools, Fr. White ob serves that this is very likely a failure of our sacred images to sustain an adequate idea FOR A QUICK SALE "MULTI-LIST" YOUR HOME Your Home Will Be Photographed and Immediately Re-Listed With 24 DeKalb REALTORS.

The images absorb ed in childhood are retained by the soul throughout life. In medieval times, the child viewed the same images as his elders, and these were im ages adequate to the realities they stood for. He formed his images of the Lord from, for example, the stern and majes tic Pantacrator, not from a smiling Jesus with a bleeding heart. When childhood was over, the image was still valid and was able to hold up under the assaults given to belief. Today the idea of religion of large numbers of Catholics re main trapped at the magical stage by static and superficial images which neither mind nor stomach can any longer take. This discussion alone makes SOUL AND PSYCHE worth reading. HOLY BIBLE, Catholic Family Library Edition (Ben- ziger Bros.), 1958. Reviewed by Leo J. Zuber The publishers of the Holy Bible, Catholic Family Library Edition, offer it in many dif ferent bindings and with some variation in its content of full color illustrations; prices vary accordingly from a modest $4.75 to $19.75. The text does not vary in any case. The text is made up of all the latest American translations by the Biblical scholars of the Con fraternity of Christian Doc trine, from Genesis to Ruth and from Job to Sirach in the Old Testament and all of the New Testament; the remain der of the Old Testament is from the Douay Version.

In addition to the text of the Bible, there is a family record section, 14 Biblical maps in color, full color illustrations by famous. artists, as Rem brandt, Murillo, and Vermeer, historical and chronological tables, and other valuable ref erence aids. Of more than passing interest is the fact that the text is clear and legible. The man in a rut finds noth ing is worse than the slavery of debt. In Foreign Aid Field CAUTIONS U. S. AGAINST ‘SUPERIORITY COMPLEX’ WASHINGTON — An econ omist cautioned Americans to avoid a “superiority complex” in foreign aid and urged them to try to see things through the eyes of aid. recipients. John J. Murphy, professor of economics at the Catholic University of Amercia, said it is “provincial” for Americans to expect the people of under developed countries to “see things precisely as we do.” This is particularly true in regard to the issue of com munism, he told the 33rd an nual conference of the Catho lic Association for Internation al Peace (October 14). He said the people of under developed nations “tend to look with favor upon what both the Soviet Union and the nations of the western alliance have accomplished in the way of economic growth, but they see no overriding reason why they could nor why they should precisely try to follow the path of either of these antagonists.” , “In other words, they do not view the economic devel opment of their societies ei ther as inevitably leading to the evolution of communism a la the Soviet Union or as the first step on the road to Jef fersonian democrac y,” he said. Mr. Murphy said the ten dency of Americans to put ex clusive emphasis on the prob lem of communism “has caus ed us over the last decade to believe that either other na tions were with us or they were against us.” By contrast, he continued, the underdeveloped countries regard economic development as “the problem which should occupy most of their time, ef fort and resources, and they view any other obligation as a hindrance to this prime ob jective.” He declared that U. S. for eign aid since World War II has “significantly” helped many countries. But “the ef fects of our aid are not as sig nificant as they might have been,” he added. One reason for this, he said, is that U. S. aid policies have been framed “in terms” of an immediate pragmatic situa tion.” “Economic development re quires consistent, long-run pol icies if it is going to proceed as rapidly and efficiently as possible,” he declared. Another attitude hampering the effectiveness of U. S. for eign aid is that which regards it as a “give away,” Mr. Mur phy said. From this point of view aid is regarded as “giv ing the local alcoholic a dime for a cup of coffee; the poor beggar can use it, but of course he will not use it wise ly,” he commented. “Somewhere the experts and the leaders of this nation have failed to convey the idea that economic aid can be wisely al located and consequently can brjing significant future re wards to the recipients, and very probably to America as well,” he said. In criticism of the attitude which views foreign aid as solely a weapon against com munism, Mr. Murphy declar ed: “Actions based solely or even primarily upon our ob session with the communist menace often have resulted in the impression that we really are not interested in the eco nomic development of the nonindustrial societies and that if only the big, bad bear of the Soviet Union would play on the steppes of Asia, we would leave these people to sing in their own poverty.” “If our economic aid is to be most effective,” he said, we must act as if we believe that we are trying to help the nonindustrial societies because we are concerned about their well being and not because we are afraid that tomorrow the Russians might begin to woo them.” (f^edt WiJi % Si Joseph 5 Srnj^i irmarij. 80 YEAHS OF SERVICE TO ATLANTA dsn lenicition a t ’ brotherhood dllectriceil lAJorherJ AFL-CIO 250 TENTH ST..

This feast on the last Sunday in October was insti tuted by Pope Pius XI to pay homage to Christ, the Ruler of the world. Consecration of the world to the Sacred Heart is renewed each year at this time. Generally this date is the feast of St. Zenobius, Bishop- Martyr. He was Bishop, also a physician, at Aegae (now Alexandretta) on the coast ot Asia Minor. He is said to have been martyred with his sis ter, St. Zenobia, under Dio- ceitian, about 290. MONDAY, October 31—SS. Ampliatus, Urban and Narcis sus, Martyrs. They lived in the first century and were mentioned by St. Paul in his Epistle to the Romans. Greek traditions mentioned St. Amp liatus as a bishop arid all as disciples of Our Lord who preached the Gospel with St. Andrew in the Balkan coun tries. The Roman Martyrology adds that they were slain by Jews and Gentiles. TUESDAY, November 1 — All Saints. In addition to .the persons whom the Church honors by special designation or has inscribed on the Calen dar of Saints, there are many whose names are not recorded. Pope Gregory IV, in the ninth century, decreed that this feast should be kept by the Church in honor of ail the Saints, named and nameless, known and unknown. WEDNESDAY, November 2 —All Souls’ Day, which com memorates ail of the faithful departed. All Souls’ Day was introduced by St. Odilio, who lived in the 11th century and was abbot of the famous Bene dictine Monastery at Ciuny, France, and by the decree of Pope Benedict XV all priests are permitted to offer three Masses on All Souls’ Day. THURSDAY, November 3— St. Quartus, Confessor. He liv ed in the first century; he is mentioned by St. Paul in his Epistle to the Romans aq “greeting the Christians in Rome.” Some traditions de scribe his .as one of the 72 dis ciples, others add that he was a bishop. FRIDAY, November 4—St. Charles Borromeo, Bishop- Confessor. Scion of an ancient Lombard family, he was cre ated a cardinal at the age of 22 and made Archbishop of his native Milan by his uncle, Pope Pius IV. In an age of lax discipline, he was a model of austere virtue. He was largely responsible for the success of the council of Trent and for the administration of the council’s decrees. Throughout Milan’s great plague, he re mained in the city, constantly attending the sick and dying. He died in 1584 and his body was enshrined under the high altar in his cathedral. SATURDAY, November 5— SS. Zachary and Elizabeth, parents of St. John the Bap tist. The opening passage oi the Gospel of St. Luke re cords the story of the Angel Gabriel appearing to Zachary and informing him that his wife, though advanced in years, would bear a child. Zachary was struck dumb until the angel’s prophecy was fulfilled. It was St. Elizabeth, a kinswoman of the Blessed Virgin, who at the Visitation uttered the words which are now a part of the Hail Mary-— “Blessed are thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.” LIBRARY SPEAKER—Bro ther Arthur Goerdt, S.M., will be principal speaker at the Mid-South Regional Confer ence of fhe Catholic Library Association to be held in Memphis, Tenn., on Novem ber 26th.

News Service DUBLIN — The 15th cen tenary of the death of St. Pat rick will be marked next year with celebrations throughout the land he made Christian. This was announced by His Eminence John Cardinal D’- Alton, modern successor of St. Patrick as Archbishop of Ar magh. He made the announce ment at the end of the annual meeting of the Irish Bishops at St. Patrick’s College, May- nooth. The “Patrician Year,” as it has been named, wiil open March 17, 1961, the Feast of St. Patrick. The Cardinal said: “The Hierarchy propose to celebrate in 1961 the 15th cen tenary of the death of Saint Patrick, the most commonly accepted date for the death of the Saint being 461 A.D. “The opening ceremony is planned for St. Patrick’s Day in the Primatial City of Ar magh, so closely associated in Irish tradition with the life and work of our national apostle. This ceremony will be followed, it is hoped, by other celebrations, arranged by di rection of the local Ordina ries, in places particularly as sociated with St. Patrick, such as the holy mount of Croagh Patrick, or noted as centers of especial devotion to the saint, such as St. Patrick’s Purga tory, Lough Derg.” Cardinal D’Alton added that a missionary exhibition may be held in connection with the Patrician Year. This would detail the work done by Irish missionaries throughout the world, he said. He said the Irish Catholic Historical Committee is pre paring a three volume history of the Church in Ireland and in areas evangelized by Irish missioners. He said it is hoped that the first volume will ap pear during the Patrician Year. Many pilgrims are expected from throughout the world. In the U. S., His Eminence Fran cis Cardinal Spellman, Arch bishop of New York, has ap pointed Msgr. Patrick A. O’ Leary as spritual director of a pilgrimage that has been arranged in conjunction with the Irish Tourist Office. Although St. Patrick has been one of the most popular saints for 15 centuries, very little is known with certainty about his life. The patron saint of Ireland may have been born in what is today Scotland. He may also have been born in Eng land or France. The date of his birth was about 390. Exact dates in his life are disputed by scholars and the two letters lie 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 Romans relaxed their guard. Sometime during his early teens, raiders swept througn his neighborhood and carried young Patrick and others off as slaves. For about six years he was held in bondage in Ireland tending his master’s herds. He wrote that he prayed hard during these years, reporting: "In a single day, I said as many as a hundred prayers and at night nearly 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 and re fused. But then he said a silent prayer 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, but in an uninhabited place. All aboard walked for a month. At one time they were without food, but it. was supplied in a herd oi wild pigs which came out of nowhere following a prayer by St. Patrick. Eventually, the group reach ed civilization, probably in Gual (France). The order of events in St. Patrick’s next years are un clear. He spent them in Eu rope and it is widely held he studied under Bishop Ger- manus at Auxerre who later consecrated him a bishop and urged him to do missionary work in Ireland. The success of his efforts in converting the pagans in the land where he had been held as a slave are common knowl edge. But the idea that it was sim ply a series of peaceful tri umphs is wrong. He himself wrote that no fewer than 12 times were he and his com panion seized and carried off as captives, only to be freed by an act of God. St. Patrick’s technique in spreading the Faith was to call together the pagan leaders and explain Christian teach ings to them. Then he would approach the ordinary people. His lectures, tradition says, explain the use of the sham rock, a bright-green leaf with three parts, as Ireland’s na tional symbol and as decora tion of irishmen on March 17. The saint is supposed to have pulled one of tne leaves from the ground to illustrate Christian teaching on the Blessed Trinity. MISS MISSES BUS, WALKS 72 MILES TO HIGH SCHOOL MORGORO, Tanganyika, (NC) — Imelda, her heavy wooden suitcase balanced pon derously on her head, walked wearily up the road to Marian College. The 16-year-old girl was a week late for the new term, but she had walked 72 miles to get here. Imelda told the Maryknoll Sisters who staff the college, Tanganyika’s only secondary school for Catholic African girls, that heavy rains had washed away the roads to her village. No bus would or could take her to the railway sta tion. She and her father, a pri mary school teacher, set out by foot. They covered 72 miles in 2 and one-half days. At night they would ask for shelter at the local schoolmaster’s house in whatever village they found themselves. They finally found a bus for Dar-es-Salaam. Imelda took the bus, and then a train from Dar-es-Salaam to Morogoro. C&S REALTY COMPANY “Specialists in Commercial- Industrial Real Estate” 604 Mortgage Guarantee Building Warehou»es, Stores, Mfg.
