Hallinan of Charleston, S. C., characteriz ed the office of vocation di rector as “surely one of the most responsible in the whole diocesan administration.” And Auxiliary Bishop Philip J. Hannan of Washington, D. C., listed as the “most dan gerous obstacles” to religious vocations today — “lack of pa ternal authority causing un sound family life; the critical spirit of our age; materialistic influences.” The prelates spoke at a meeting here for vocation directors from more than twenty-five eastern archdio ceses and dioceses for discus sions of fostering vocations to the priesthood and the reli gious life. Bishop Coleman F. Carroll of Miami, was host to the meeting. Bishop Hallirian said it is a “fearsome” fact that the office of vocations director is “one of the most delicate, difficult and even dangerous posts.” He said: “You are asked to be a middleman between the divine call and the minds, hearts and wlils of a generation busy, like Martha, about many things. Not all of these things are as wholesome as Martha’s work in the kitchen. You stand as a bridge between the hu man heart which demands so much, and the divine heart which demands so much more. You are assigned to catch the blinding flash that came to Saul and the whispered invita tion that came to Simon — and make sure that a preoccupied generation sees the flash and hears the whisper.” Bishop Hallinan directed his address to the problem of re ligious vocation work in the colleges. He told the directors: “The heart of the difficulty (and the danger) is that the religious vocation is so person al — as intimate as hidden thought, as sacred as a secret act of contrition.” “It is our task,” Bishop Hal linan said, “bishops and voca tion directors, priests and Sis ters, to open every door possi ble to’ the college students.” Bishop Hallinan suggested “three doors” that could be op ened. He said: —“First that our high school principals and counselors urge their graduates upon starting to college to enter into a ‘working association’ with some particular priests or Sis ters in the higher institutions. By ‘working association’ I mean a collaboration with them in a specific task, aca demic or extracurricular, apos tolic or scholarly. Both the Catholic college and the New man centers have dozens of such tasks. If the new stu dents know that they are needed and wanted, they will find these assignments and in the case of those special per sons whom God is calling, they will find themselves, too. —“Second, that the best of Catholic writers be enlisted to present the case for the mod ern priesthood and sisterhood in the media that the college students are reading: alert Catholic magazines, imagina tive college papers, lively pa- perbooks and pamphlets.

But they will read good creative writing and often form decisions on what they read. —“Finally, that the door of a vocation be plainly marked ‘Sacrifice,’ and not ‘The Abundant Life.’ The college students will not long be fool ed by jingles and film strips urging that ‘Religious life can be fun,’ or the pious commer cial, ‘Are you praying more but enjoying it less?’ The juve nile element of our campuses will always be with us but it is outnumbered today by seri ous students. The modern col lege student has in many cas es already sacrificed much. It’s getting harder to get in college today and even harder to stay there. He has met, on any re spectable campus, the dedicat ed scholar who has sacrificed his life to truth and to beauty. He learns to understand the meaning of such unselfish ef fort. He has the resources of youth that religious life can put to a test and now he is growing mature enough to want to test these resources.” Bishop Hannan listed “two necessary principles in build ing up vocations by develop ing the respect and esteem for the priesthood.” He said: “We must use the normal occur rences of Catholic life as means of grace; for instance, the selection and handling of altar boys can be a crucial means of aiding vocations. It is not only necessary for the par ish priests to show the altar boys what their selection means, but it is just as import ant for the parents to show their respect for the duties as signed to their son as an altar boy. The parents must willing ly, not grudgingly, awaken him on time, make certain that he is groomed and in general show by their attitude that it is an honor.” The Wash ington prelate added: “Be sure to praise him if he does credit ably.” “Secondly, we must take the initiative in promoting voca tions,” the Bishop said. “We must apply to the field of re ligious vocations what we know about parish life or even the field of business. How many successful businesses are developed simply by waiting for candidates to come in and apply? Business schools and colleges develop techniques for attracting and testing candi dates; advertising is develop ed in newspapers and on TV; no reliance is placed simply on untutored reactions of an in dividual. On the other hand, how many good ushers’ socie ties or sodalities in the par ish are developed simply by waiting for volunteers? The best way to insure that your parish will be overrun and controlled by religious ‘indivi dualists’ is to leave the initia tive to others. You build a good parish by going after good candidates for your par ish posts.” Bishop Hannan recommend ed that talks by good exemp lars of religious vocations be given in every class each year in Catholic colleges and twice a year in every class in Cath olic high schools. He urged that talks also be given to the parent-teacher associations of every Catholic elementary school. “There will be greater num bers of vocations when the priesthood is held in honor by all — by the clergy and the laity,” the Washington prelate said. “No one aspires to what he does not admire. If a child does not learn from his par ents and his parish priests to admire the likeness of Christ in the priesthood, we cannot expect him to aspire to the priesthood.” . Vocation Directors Plan Meet MIAMI BEACH, Fla., (NC) —Plans for a national conven tion of diocesan directors of vocations to the priesthood and religious life were mapped here during an executive ses sion by some 40 priests. The priests who are vocation directors in eastern, western and midwestern archdioceses and dioceses participated in a three-day meeting with Bishop Coleman F. Carroll of Miami as host. They discussed plans for a national convention of the di rectors to be held late this year at a site yet to be determ ined. They also discussed par ticipation in the First Inter national Congress of Vocations scheduled to be held in May in Rome. The directors also discussed cooperation with the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries nad Universities which has re quested reports from vocation directors on statistics covering candidates to the priesthood during recent years and cop ies of literature used in pro motion of vocations and screening of candidates. Father James J. Walsh, Mi ami diocesan director, served as chairman of the (Jan. 2 to 4) meeting here. Msgr. Martin Christopher, Washington, D. C. archdiocesan director, was named executive secretary for the Eastern directors, and Fa ther Joseph Knorr, Pittsburgh director, was named to the board. Former Communist Party Official Enters Church .NEW YORK (NC) — John Lautner, a top official for 20 years of the Communist party in the U. S., was received into the Church in November, 1961, the Oriel Society announced here. The society, an international Catholic cultural organization, said (Jan. 7) that Lautner re ceived his religious instruc tions and First Communion from Father Vincent Hart, S.J., of Loyola Seminanry, Shrub Oak, N. Y. The Oriel Society stated that Father Robert Gannon, S.J., former president of Ford- ham University, helped lead Lautner into the Church by suggesting that he make a re treat into the summer of 1961 at Loyola Seminary. Lautner had served as a member of the Communist party’s national review com mission and as a security offi cer of the party. He also was assigned to building the par ty’s underground apparatus in New York state. On January 14, 1950, he was accused of being an FBI agent and tortured in Cleveland by communist thugs. He left the party shortly afterwards. The torture he suffered is describ ed in FBI director J. Edgar Hoover’s book “Masters of De ceit.” Since leaving the party he has worked closely with the U. S. Governmennt. He is a consultant to the U. S. Depart ment of Justice and has been a witness for the department in 20 Smith Act conspiracy and communist party mem bership cases. He also lectures for the Oriel, Society on the techniques and propaganda of communism. In a recent letter to Laut ner, J. Edgar Hoover said: “I have followed your testimony in recent years with consider able interest and you may well take pride in your contribu tion to the nation’s welfare through the part you have played in the Government’s ef forts to combat the communist conspiracy.” The Oriel Society, composed of leading speakers from the United States and Europe hon ored Lautner at a reception on January 19 at the Metropoli tan Club in New York. Ten years ago the Oriel So ciety, through its priest mem bers from the Russian Center at Fordham University, was instrumental in leading into the Church another prominent name in the Communist party, Mrs. Hede Massing. She had served as an international communist courier and was the U. S. Government’s star witness in the second trial of Alger Hiss, who was convicted of perjury. MARRIAGES O- -O | SHARPE-SCHUMAN O —O SAVANNAH — Miss Patri cia Gail Shuman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Schu- man, Sr., and Louis L. Sharpe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver C. Sharpe, were married in the Chapel of Good Hope, Decern her 26th, Father E. Periot Fie- ro officiating. A striking example is most effective for the type of man who is never convinced until he is struck. HONORED — David M. Martin of Pittsburgh will re ceive the Vercelli Medal, highest award given by the National Holy Name Society to a layman for outstanding service to the society. A for mer president of the Pitts burgh Diocesan Union of Holy Name Societies, the 75- year-old Martin has been en gaged in Holy Name work for more than 50 years. He will receive the Vercelli award in Pittsburgh on March 18. —(NC Photos) She Learned A New Word! TOKYO, Japan — Some times you can tell children too much and sometimes too lit tle. Ask Father Thomas Dowd, S.S.C., of West Roxbury, Mass. One day recently he was giv ing the school children a “straight - from-the-shoulder” talk” on classhall crookery, or copying in the classhall. “Any one can copy,” said the Colum- ban missionary. “It is easier to copy, but . . .” Within a few weeks the mo ther of one of the little girls in the class called on Father Dowd. She had questioned her daughter’s 100% paper, which was far above her average. When questioned the girl, Fu- miko by name, had replied, “But Father said it was easier to copy, so I did.” THE BULLETIN, January 20, 1962—PAGE 3 Pope Condoles Families Of Rail Victims VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC) —• His Holiness Pope John XXIII has sent his condolenc es to the families of the ap proximately 100 persons killed in a Dutch railroad accident.
