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. Patronize Bulletin Advertisers 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 MARIETTA io 'i< JBfil ACME LUMBER COMPANY P. 0.

SMITH, PUBLISHER Established 1866 — Member: United Press-Southern Newspaper Publishers Association MARIETTA, GEORGIA 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. Question Box (Continued from page 4) 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. Jungle Missioner Father Raoul J. Pronovost, M.S., who serves a leper col ony at Akyab, Burma, is touring the U.S. to raise money for a 60-patient leper hospital in the Burmese jungles.

After 14 years in the jungles of Burma, Father Pronovost, a native of Hartford, Conn., says he misses the jungle country. (NC Photos) "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.” Sharing Our Treasure (continued from page 4) mond Charles Barker, a New Thought minister, write Treat Yourself to Life. For many years I wrote for the Asso ciated Press and contributed to The Saturday Evening Post and other magazines. “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. “In 1960, for the first time, I entered a Catholic church — Mission Dolores, built by the Spanish Franciscan mission- THE BULLETIN, May 12, 1962—PAGE 5 aries in San Francisco. I walk 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. ” (Father O’Brien will be glad to have converts send their names and addresses to him at Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Indiana, so he may write up their conversion stories.)
