Wedding Bells Peal
With Copper Rings
LIMA, Peru, (NC) — The
church was decorated, the
priest ready but the bridal
couple had lost their rings. Con
fusion reigned, until the young
American missioner swung into
action.
Not one to stand in the way
of true love, Father James J.
Madden, M. M , of Champaign,
Ill., rushed to the mission's
tool shed and with a pair of
pliers fashioned two rings from
some heavy copper wires. With
profuse thanks to the ingenious
Maryknoller, the bride and
groom met at the altar on time.

BISHOP BEGIN
URGES PRACTICE
OF GOLDEN RULE
OAKLAND, Calif. (NC) —
The first spiritual head of the
new Oakland diocese here be
side California’s Golden Gate
called upon his people to
practice the golden rule.
The Most Rev. Floyd L.
Begin said the practice of
“fraternal charity” is the
“spiritual barometer of our
love of God” at his enthrone
ment ceremonies in the new
Cathedral of St. Francis de
Sales here.
Archbishop Egidio Vagnoz-
zi, Apostolic Delegate in the
United States, officiated at
the enthronement of Bishop
Begin, whose new diocese
covers 1,467 square miles in
Alameda and Contra Costa
counties, inhabited by 1,314,-
700 persons, 329,040 of whom
are Catholics.
During his 35 years as
priest and Auxiliary Bishop
in the Cleveland diocese,
Bishop Begin became widely
known for his work among
the poor and the Negroes. He
told his people here that God
has given “each of us the
chance to dispense each oth
er and others from the neces
sity of suffering by an act
of charity or service we
perform.”
“All of Our Lord’s miracles
and services to mankind were
truly dispensations from the
necessity of suffering,” Bish
op Begin said. “Our Lord
was not content to relieve
only the victims of His own
day. He found a a way to lift
the cross of suffering from
the members of His Mystical
Body until the end of time.
The magic formula is fra
ternal charity.”
Bishop Begin urged his
people to inaugurate the his
tory of the new Diocese of
Oakland by dwelling for a
few moments on charity —
“the Queen of Virtues.”
He pointed out that Christ
spent His public life remov
ing from others the cross of
pain and suffering; that when
He healed the man born
blind He also changed his
vocation so that he might
now save his soul without

the affliction.
“In giving us the new
commandment to love one
another as He loves us, He
also gave us His authority,
by our charity, to change the
vocations of our fellowmen,”
Bishop Begin said.
“Every good deed we do
in thought, word, act, or
omission, prompted by true
charity, is actually a dispen
sation from suffering,” he
continued. “Our Blessed
Lord, therefore, has actually
given us a formula for prac
tically removing the cross
from the backs of men.”
Bishop Begin explained
that Christ overcame sin by
accepting in His own Person
the consequences of sin —
pain, suffering and death, and
that He invites us to be co-
Redeemer with Him by join
ing in His own divine plan.
“However, Our Blessed
Lord was ever conscious that
pain, suffering and death
were related to sin, and that
while He sanctified them,
He never rejoiced in them,”
Bishop Begin said.
“He didn’t like suffering in
His own Person and He does
n’t like us to suffer either.
He spent His public life re
moving from the lives of
others the cross of pain and
suffering,” he added.
Bishop Begin emphasized
that if Christ’s command to
love one another was obeyed,
the ills of the man would
practically disappear.
“If there were enough love
in the world there would be
much less suffering; even
death would have no sting,”
the Bishop said. “Our Bless
ed Lord seems to be most
interested in what use we
make of the power and au
thority He gives us to dis
pense each other from suf
fering.”
The Bishop warned that in
the final judgment, fraternal
charity seems to be the sole
measure of man’s worth in
the sight of God; that man
shall stand or fall for all
eternity on whether or not
he fed the hungry, gave
drink to the thirsty, and per
formed the works of mercy.
Bishop Begin said sacrifice
of man’s time, possessions or
talents, will bring a hundred
fold reward in this life.
“This means that if by our
charity we change the vo
cation of our neighbor to the
extent that we lift from his
back one ounce of his cross;
Our Blessed Lord will im
mediately change our voca
tion, lifting from our backs
100 ounces of the cross which
otherwise we should have
been obliged to carry in or
der to save our own souls,”
Bishop Begin said.
“Perhaps this is why hu
manity has been so conscious
of the advantages of charity
that it has become a proverb
—‘charity is its own reward.’
For it is literally true that
those who practice charity do
not suffer,” the Bishop added.

ward in four directions from
a central point, recalls the
power and the providence dif
fused to the four corners of the
earth by him who hung upon it.
The late Bishop Ottokar Pro-
haszka of Hungary summarized
the same thought in this manner:
“When Christ stretched him
self upon the cross he wished
to cover the earth and throw
himself between God and men,
between heaven and earth . . .
Jesus spread out his dripping
four wounds on to the sense
less world; he radiated bleed
ing shafts from them so as to
stigmatize hearts.’’
THE IGNOMINY of the cross
is also symbolic in that Christ’s
utter self-humiliation in ac
cepting it represents the anti
thesis of the supreme pride
whereby sin first entered the
world.
JERUSALEM was an es
pecially fitting place for the
crucifixion because it was God’s
chosen place for sacrifice, the
temple being located there. The
fact that the Saviour was nailed
and raised aloft outside the
walls of the city points again
to the universality of the Re
demption -- that Christ’s death
was not suffered for the Jewish
people alone, but for all man
kind. Even the site of Calvary
has mystical significance in
that it was the common place
of condemned men, just as sin
is the common lot of men, who
until the Crucifixion, were also
condemned.
Shirk the burden of responsi
bilities, and you’re actually
running away from success.

"Expansion
Should Be
Welcomed”
NOTRE DAME, Ind., (NC) —
A U. S Congressman said here
that expansion of both public and
private schools should be wel
comed in the interest of the
American educational system.
“The development of either
of the public or the nonpublic
school at the expense of the
other would deprive this edu
cational system of a precious
asset,’ said Rep. William E.
Miller of New York.
The Congressman, who spoke
at a universal Notre Dame (Uni
versity ) night observance
(May 1), said that “the di
versity of the American edu
cational system is a source of
strength for our nation.”
“The pursuit of truth is sti
mulated, academic freedom is
safeguarded and educational ex
cellence is encouraged,” he
continued, “because we have
schools under private auspices,
as well as public schools; be
cause we have schools under
religious as well as under sec
ular auspices.”
Rep. Miller said that * ‘the
growth and the improvement
of public schools is a prime
national objective,” and ‘ should
command the energetic support
of those who hold public office
and of all private citizens.”
* But the steady expansion
of schools with religion at the
heart of their curriculum should
also be welcomed,” he added.
“Such schools should not be
relegated to second-class sta
tus,” he concluded, “for they
are as thoroughly a part of the
American system of education
as the public school.”

“As far as religion was con
cerned, I shopped around, at
tending now one church and then
another. I went in especially
for. the New Thought cults.
Strangely enough, I became in
terested in the Catholic religion
through reading books by two
Protestants: William James’
Varieties of Religious Ex
perience and Evelyn Underhill’s
Mysticism. Most of the great
mystics and saints cited by
these authors were Catholics.
“This made me curious to
know how the Catholic Church
has been able through the cen
turies, even when morals were
at a low ebb, to produce such
great saints and mystics. I had
drifted far from Christianity,
and had come to regard Christ
simply as an inspiring teach
er. The reading of these two
books brought me up short.
‘ I began to study the lives
and writings of St. Paul, St.
Francis of Assisi, St. Catherine
of Genoa, St. Teresa of Avila
and others. This showed their
outstanding saintliness stem
med from the devout practice of
the Catholic Faith and its coun
sels of perfection. They found
in the reception of the sacra
ments, especially Confession
and the Holy Eucharist, a flood
of grace which helped them
climb to the peaks of perfection.

ed in the garden, stood before
the grotto of St. Francis and
felt strangely at peace. After
that enchanted hour, my goal
was clear: to become a saint
with a sense of humor.
“After reading Father de
Caussade's great work, Self
Abandonment to Divine Provi
dence, my hunger for holiness
was intensified. I began to pray
and attend Holy Mass. In No
gales, Arizona, I took a com
plete course of instruction from
Father Theodore Radtke at
Sacred Heart Church, and was
received into Christ’s true
Church. I had come home. It
is fragrant with sanctity, for
it is none other than the House
of God and the Gateway to
Heaven. ”
