S. foreign aid programs. Father James L. Vizzard, S.J., director of the Washing ton office of the National Catholic Rural Life Confer ence, said development of a public policy on this problem would prevent “bitter con flict” in the future that could harm the U. S. The Jesuit priest testified (April 18) on the Foreign As sistance Act of 1962 before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He was invited to speak before the commit tee by Rep. Clement J. Zab- locki of Wisconsin, a mem ber of the committee. TAe committee will utilize the suggestions made by various speakers to formulate a bill which ultimately will become the Foreign Assistance Act of 1962. Father Vizzard said he does not think “we have faced up clearly and courageously to the practical implications for public policy of the deep split between conscientious citi zens over what means, if any, may be used in dealing with apparently harmful popula tion growth.” “To be very explicit,” he continued, “Catholic citizens believe that ‘artificial’ birth control methods are morally evil; other responsible citi zens are convinced that such methods are not only morally licit but also, in some condi tions, morally imperative . . . “I suggest, therefore, that an important public service needs to be performed by bringing together for inten sive discussions the best fisd Jottings .... (continued from page 4) complete and a successful thing instead of a failure; it is a finished action because it is God's will." One day she wondered, as do we all: "After all these Holy Commun ions, Masses, Confessions, spiritual books, resolutions, nothing is done . . . alas, I am as unkind as before, my tongue as violent, my mind as melancholy, my will more weak, my fervor died out, my self indulgence grown as I could never have imagined . . . and all this in the very sight and faith of God." But she says, "the most un pleasant things become delightful if they are done with Our Lord. I used to hate washing clothes and even cry over it, but since my last financial ruin, I find great joy in it. I try to think of Our Lady washing for the Holy Family and how carefully she would have done it." * * * * • ONE OF MY FAVORITES is found in a letter she writes to a friend suffering great depression. “The only resolution I have ever found works is whenever I want to think of myself, I will think of God, just some short, shgrp answer so to speak, such as ‘I am lonely and misunder stood.’ I think of the loneliness of Christ, at His trial, the misunderstandings even of His closest friends. Or I might say, ‘I have made a fool of myself.’ Christ was mocked. He felt it. Or ‘I can’t go on alone unhelped, Christ couldn’t.’ He couldn’t carry the Cross without help. Think of God everytime I want to think of myself. Self-think takes the form of humiliations and remorse that follows on our fail ures and sins, there is more comforting in thinking of God’s love and forgiveness, how good He is, then dwelling on the hurt and vanity and misery of what one is like oneself.” bSQG There are dozens more of ihese quotations culled from her diaries, journals, letters, writings which Maisie Ward includes in this biography in depth. Caryll Houselander perhaps had no idea of this new impact which would come after her death when she wrote: "I am certain that for me the real Communion with people is in writing . . ." minds from all the sciences and disciplines with a legiti mate interest in and a con tribution to make to the field of population and develop ment ... I do not know if such a study can appropri ately be undertaken by this committee or by an agency of the executive branch, or whether it might more right ly be done under private sponsorship. “But I suggest that if bitter conflict is to be avoided in the near future, a conflict which can be destructive to our foreign aid programs, a proper foundation must soon be laid for the development of public policy on this most delicate and vital issue.” Father Vizzard also said he would like to see “more signs that guidelines were be ing developed” for more ef fective use of private and voluntary nonprofit agencies in U. S. foreign aid programs. “This seems to me to be particularly urgent in the case of the Alliance for Prog ress,” he said. “We heartily endorse this newest proposal, but we wonder how effective it can be without the fullest collaboration with the social reform efforts and projects of the voluntary agencies al ready operating and develop ing in Latin America.” Fatima Anniversary Fatima, Portugal-Francesco Cardinal Roberti, Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apos tolic Signature in Rome, will preside at rites here on May 12 and 13, marking the 45th anniversary of the first appari tion of the Virgin Mary to the three shepherd children of Fatima. Bishop Joao Periera Ven- ancio of Leiria, who announced the Cardinal’s coming, said the intentions of the mid-May pil grimage to the Marian sanc tuary will be peace in the world, and especially for Portugal and her overseas provinces. Cultivate individual thinking- it takes real courage to drop out of a crowd that is headed in the wrong direction. tr v " tint jbh Manley & Adams Marietta, Ga. BOMBER Amen. Amen.

Sharing Our Treasure (continued from page 4) began to doubt that Joseph Smith was really a prophet. “I could no longer accept Mormonism’s strange moral code which held it was sinful to dance, play cards, smoke, drink alcoholic beverages even in moderation — and stranger still — even coffee or tea. There are so many Churches claiming to be the true one that I wondered how I would ever find it. I had recourse to prayer, and God, I feel, had a hand in my meeting a wonderful Catholic woman, ‘Mom’ Quinlan, in Oakland. “She always had time to listen to my troubles, and in a quiet way helped to make me conscious of God’s love. She taught me how import ant it is to make God part of one’s home if it is to be a happy one. One Sunday morning as I was passing - St. Joseph’s Church in Ala meda, I heard the choir singing. “I entered and knelt in the rear. Then and there I de cided to learn more about the Faith that brought such love to the heart of Mom Quin lan. Father James Ryan at St. Joseph’s gave my husband and me a thorough course of instruction. David had been baptized before going into battle with the understand ing that he would later take instructions. The fact that the Church could trace its origin back to Christ, who confer red upon it the authority to teach His truth to all nations, convinced us that it is the one true Church. “I was baptized and Da vid and I received our Eu charistic Lord. Our three children have also been baptized. Wishing to share our precious treasure with others, we brought Mr. and Mrs. Earl Palmer to an In quiry Class conducted by Fa ther Carl Wolsin in Paterson, New Jersey, and now they and their three children are Catholics. Would that I could share our holy Faith with many others!” (Father O’Brien will be glad to have converts send their names and addresses to him at Notre Dame Univer sity, Notre Dame, Indiana, so he may write up their conversion stories.
