ST ANTHONY, by Sophronius
Clasen, O.F.M., Franciscan
Herald Press, 1960, 136pp.,
illus., $4.95.
Reviewed by E. Matthews.
To be able to sift the fact
from the fiction to give a true
picture of the greatness of St.
Anthony—so well loved and yet
so unknown—took years of tho
rough study by the author, So
phronius Clasen, O.F.M. With
his knowledge, Father Clasen
has given us a biography to
make the ‘ 'finder of lost things”
more truly loved by all the peo
ple.
St. Anthony, the son of noble
parents, was born in Libson in
1195 and baptized Fernando. He
received the habit of St. Augus
tine at the age of 15, and,
in his preparations for Holy
Orders, he thoroughly studied
theology and the scriptures—
for the sake of his soul as much
as for his mind.
When the bones of Franciscan
protomartyrs were given to his
monastery, St. Anthony was
prompted to pray for martyr
dom, but illness forced him to
leave. He made his way to upper
Italy and attended the Chapter
at Porziuncola in 1221, where
he saw his spiritual father,
St. Francis, for the first time.
No one at the Chapter knew
him, and his unassuming
manner did not reveal his po
tential greatness. At the close
of the meeting, because he had
nowhere to go, he was per
mitted to live in a hermitage
with two or three other friars.
Father Clasen quotes the rules
St. Francis designed for such a
life, and, in accordance with the
spirit of these rules, St. An
thony asked for and received
permission to earn his bread
by washing the pots and pans.
In that solitude, alone with God,
his soul matured in love. ‘ ‘One
and the same love embraces
both God and neighbor, and this
love is the Holy Spirit, for God
is love.”
When St. Anthony received
Holy Orders, he was still con
sidered a good but simple per
son with just sufficient quali
fications to perform the basic
priestly functions. At the meal
following the ceremony, he was
persuaded to give a sermon.
All the others present had re
fused, begging lack of prepara
tion. ‘ The power of fire over
comes all things and is not it
self subdued; it imparts its ac
tion to the things it encom
passes, renews everything that
comes near it, and does not
decrease as it spreads itself.
So too does the Holy Spirit
pervade all things by His power,
for he is ineffable in His might.
When He enters a soul,
He fills it with His fire, and
lets it enkinkle others. All
things that draw near Him feel
His renewing warmth. He leads
all hearts upward to heaven.”
Thus was St. Anthony placed
like a lamp on the lamp post,
and thus he began his new
apostolate, which most appealed
to him. “The world is like a
field, and to bear fruit there
is as difficult as it is praise
worthy. The hermits bloom in
solitary places and they shun
the company of men. The monks
blossom in a garden enclosed
and hide themselves from the
eyes of men. How much more
glorious is it if a Christian
brings forth fruit in an open
field, the world, for all too
easily the twin sprouts of grace,
the spirit of a life of virtue
and the fragrance of a good
name, wither there and die.
Therefore did Christ glory in
being a flower in the field, since
he said of himself: I am the
flower of the field.”
St. Anthony defended the faith
in Italy and France by preach
ing against the heresies of his
day, and by his insturction saved
whole communities from error.
He chiefly used spiritual means
to combat the darkness in the
souls of men and spent many
hours in the confessional. He
adapted himself to simple men,
speaking to them in their own
language. Such crowds formed
to hear him speak that often
he was forced to leave the pul
pit and preach in the piazzas
and open fields. He concerned
himself with civic affairs. Pre
paring men’s hearts for a more
lenient law for debtors in Padua,
he was instrumental in having
the legislation put into effect.
With the blessing of St. Francis,
he taught the friars theology
in a manner which adhered to
the spirit of the Order. “Let
us praise God in simplicity.”
When a child comes running
in tears to the arms of his
mother, she comforts him and
dries the tears. So too do the
saints hasten from this world
of sorrow to the arms of the
Divine Majesty.” Thus was the
death of this saint.
Included in this biography is
the text of the Bull of Canoni
zation given by Gregory IX
in 1232. Pius XII declared St.
Anthony a Doctor of the Church
in 1946.
The material quoted in this
review are excerpts from St.
Anthony’s sermons, which
Father Clasen has used exten
sively to reveal the mind and
heart of the saint.
To make complete this loving
picture of the people's saint
Father Clasen has used photo
graphs of every place St. An
thony lived, manuscripts per
taining to his work, objects of
art, people representative of the
country. The credit for these
photographs is largely due Mr.
Bruno Geuter of Monchenglad-
bach who contributed his work
in traveling extensively to ob
tain the pictures.
St. Anthony is a most wel
come, and much needed, addi
tion to the Franciscan litera
ture. Anyone who has ever
called on St. Anthony in a time
of need, to find a lost article,
will appreciate this opportunity
to increase his devotion to this
great saint.

NEW SEEDS OF CONTEM
PLATION, by Thomas Merton,

“The purpose of a book of
meditations,” says Father
Merton in this revised and en
larged edition of a book first
published twelve years ago, “is
to teach you how to think and not
to do your thinking for you.
Consequently if you pick up such
a book and simply read it
through, you are wasting your
time. As soon as any thought
stimulates your mind or your
heart you can put the book
down ...”
That is why such books as
these are not easy to read. They
must be taken a small portion
at a time and used only to stim
ulate one’s own thinking. The
reward of such spiritual
reading, however, is something
that can only be experienced,

Father Merton was once call
ed by a critic “a young man in
a hurry.” Monsieur Mauriac,
on the other hand, composes his
“dramatic and deeply moving
portrait of Jesus Christ” in the
calm evening of his life. Both
the priest and the layman offer
their readers the fruits of their
own contemplation in these, as
in their many previous books.
Father Merton prefaces this
book with two entirely new chap
ters, entitled “What Is Con
templation?” and “What Con
templation Is Not.” These chap
ters, contrasted with the others
written a dozen years ago,
reveal that theTrappistmonkof
Gethsemani, Kentucky, whose
autobiography, ‘ The Seven
Storey Mountain,” published in
1948, became a best seller, has
matured and overcome much
of his youthful impetuosity.
Many of us, however, have en
joyed and profited from every
thing that has come from his
prolific pen, hurried or not.
N o b e 1 - prize - winner Mau-
riac's portrait of Christ is a
brief, book, as penetrating as
his novels which won the award
for him in 1952, and an ex
cellent companion to Father
Merton’s explanation of prayer,
for the humanity of the God-Man
is recognized by Christians as
the only approach to the Father.
One grows closer to Him by
following Monsieur Mauriac’s'’
meditation, which stimulates
the kind of thought that Father
Merton says all such books
should do.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, by
Finis Farr, Scribners, 1961,
295 pp., illus., $5.95.
Reviewed by Joseph Power.
This biography of Frank
Lloyd Wright, Architect, car
ries the reader along, sustains
his interest, after the fashion
of an historical novel from the
hands of a professional. Young
Wright begins and ends his
professional life and training
strictly on his own. One stroke
of good fortune occurs. That
is the opportunity to become
a part of the drafting and de
signing staff of Adler and Sul
livan who were then busy with
the Chicago Auditorium, just
as the Spanish American War
took its place in the headlines.
Quickly, the role of Wright
changed from pupil to confidante
of the eminent Sullivan. Thence
he went on to his own office
and to the conflicts which be
came a part of his life.
The second and third decades
of the Twentieth Century saw
Frank Lloyd Wright busy about
the designing of the Imperial
Hotel in Tokyo. His basic pro
blem was to design a practical
and profitable public building,
a building which would survive
an earthquake and ensure the
same survival to its in
habitants. He succeeded.
Homes and churches, com
mercial buildings and syna
gogues, came from his fertile
mind, until, in the 1940’s, he
completed his course witn the
design of the Guggenheim Mu
seum of New York.
BEEFSTEAK RAID, by Ed
ward Boykin, Funk & Wagnalls,
1960, 293 pp., $4.95.
Reviewed by W. L. Schmidt.
It has been said that the Con
federacy was lost when Grant
crossed the James. Whether
this was in fact the decisive
factor, it was indeed an im
pressive military event. Over
the 700 yard long pontoon bridge
crossed 4,300 wagons, 825 am
bulances, 29,945 artillery,
cavalry, ambulance and team
horses, 4,046 private horses,
22,538 mules, making an im
pressive total of 56,499 ani
mals. This to say nothing of the
100,000 well fed men followed
by 5,000 rangy longhorns con
tributing almost exclusively to
this well fed condition. Some
where on the other side of the
James was Lee’s starving army
scavenging the countryside to
keep alive. Wind of the nqarby
cattle soon reached them, how
ever.
From these facts comes the
essence and purpose of this
book . . . the raiding of Grant's
cattle, a daring event not over
ly told in historical works on
the Civil War and here for the
first time in depth. Contributing
greatly to the raid’s success
were George Shadburne, Gen
eral Wade Hampton, and Molly
Tatum, a swamp girl. Much of
this story is, naturally, about
them. Of the raid President
Lincoln himself said: “It was
-the slickest piece of cattle
stealing I ever heard of.”
Mr. Boykin’s bits of subtle
humor strategically injected of
fer the reader added enjoyment
in this very readible book.
Those with a strong taste for
Civil War reading will find this
a pleasant change of pace on
the subject.
THE WAY WE WORSHIP, by
Milton Lomask and Ray Neville,
Farrar, Straus and Cudahy,
1961, 126 pp., illus., $2.95.
Reviewed by E. Matthews.
The Way We Worship treats
of the religious significance of
the objects used in the Church,
in the Mass, and in adminis
tering the sacraments. Photo
graphs of such subjects as a
modern-style church, a sixth
century pyx and religious works
of art illustrate the traditional
use of external symbols and
show the details of objects most
people have few opportunities to
examine such as the tabernacle,
Mass vestments and chalice.
The authors trace such tra
ditions as the Christian origin
of the Christmas tree and the
use of bells. Details concern
ing the structure of altars are
illustrated.
The style of writing, the
choice of subject matter for
illustrations and the whole for
mat give this book appeal for
all age groups. The Way We
Worship will hold the attention
of a student in school, will be
useful to the teacher of
catechism, will answer ques
tions for the non-Catholic, and
will be of interest to the artist.
The Way We Worship is a
Vision Picture Book.
