Sharing Our Treasure (continued from page 4) told them about our holy Faith and invited them to Mass. When their interest increased, we arranged for their instruction by Father Victor, O.F.M. “As the instruction pro gressed, they were greatly im pressed by the four marks - unity, sanctity, Catholicity and apostolicity - with which Christ stamped His Church to distin guish it from all others. Es pecially impressive is the Church’s unity: all its mem bers profess the same Faith, receive the same sacraments, unite in the same worship, and acknowledge the supreme authority of the Holy See. 'The secret of that marve lous unity, they perceived, is the authority bestowed by Christ upon Peter and his successors to govern the Church. ‘Thou art Peter,’ said Jesus, ‘and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall.not prevail against it. And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in hea ven’ (Matt. 16:18-19). ' 'Another doctrine that made a powerful appeal to the Fields is that of the Holy Eucharist. It seemed almost too good to be true that Christ would give us His very flesh and blood as nourishment for our souls. But unmistakable are Christ’s words: ‘For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me and I in him’ (John 6:56-57). “Mr. and Mrs. Field and their three children were received into the Church. Later they were blessed with two more children. Now they have at least a dozen grandchildren- all good Catholics. When John and I recently celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary, we thanked God particularly for the happy privilege of sharing our holy Faith with this won derful family.” (Father O'Brien will be glad to have converts send their names gnd addresses to him at Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Indiana, so he may write up their conversion stories.) Give Books To ,, Rome University ROME, (NC) - Germany has given about 400 volumes of scientific material to the Greg orian University in Rome as a token of its appreciation for the Jesuit operated univer sity's efforts to educate Ger man seminarians and priests. The books were presented to the university rector, Father Paolo Munoz Vega, S. J., by the German Ambassador to the Holy See, Hilgar van Scher- penberg. The ambassador stressed the close bonds between his country and the university and said it was best illustratied “by the many Ger man priests who, during the past four centuries, have re ceived their intellectual for mation in this university.” Reds Demolish Cathedral ROME, (NC) - The Cathe dral of Lanchow, capital of Kan su, China, has been demolished, it was reported here by Fides, mission news agency. The agency said it is not certain if the building was de stroyed because of the success ful elimination of the mission in the See city of the Lanchow Archdiocese, established in 19- 46, or because it fitted in with plans for development of the city. MARRIAGES BRITTINGHAM-WHITESIDE AUGUSTA - Miss Peggy Jean Whiteside, daughter of Mrs. Marion Joseph Maher and Her man Brittingham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Harper Brit tingham, were married May 19th at St. Mary's on-the-hill.

Af ter the President took the ini tiative in this matter, more over, he confirmed his position in a memorandum (issued dur ing the latter part of March last year) by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. HENCE THE bishops and Catholic educators are not try ing to pick a quarrel. Rather, they have been compelled, by the circumstances at hand, to take a position against a formal proposal made by the Adminis tration, a proposal which they deem manifestly unjust. As Archbishop Karl J. Alter of Cincinnati has explained: “The question of whether or not there ought to be federal aid is a judgment to be based on objective, economic facts . . . (But) in the event that there is federal aid to education, we are deeply convinced that in justice Catholic school child ren should be given the right to participate.” * * * Q. Why haven’t the bishops opposed federal aid to education in principle -- insofar as paro chial schools are concerned — on the grounds that it will in evitably lead to governmental control? A. Categorically to say that federal aid to education will in evitably lead to federal control is an irresponsible charge. There is no questioning that federal aid greatly magnifies the danger of federal control. That this danger can be re duced, however, is clear from the fact that in Canada as well as in several countries abroad - Famed Glacier Priest, FR. Bernard Hubbard. Dies Of Stroke At 73 SANTA CLARA, Calif., - Fa ther Bernard Rosecrans Hub bard, S. J., world famous “gla cier priest” who lived danger ously for years, died here peacefully in his room on the campus of Santa Clara Uni versity. A Solemn Requiem Mass was offered in the Mission Church for the Jesuit priest, who sur vived attacks by wild animals, the fury of the elements, and plane crashes in conducting scientific explorations in the wilds of Alaska. Father Hubbard, head of Santa Clara University’s geology de partment since 1926, had been making plans for his 32nd trip to Alaska, although he was 73 years old. He died (May 28) when he suffered his fifth stroke. including England, Scotland, the Netherlands and West Ger many - private school education is being aided by the national government without prejudice to the autonomy of private school systems themselves. ANOTHER important point: A federal assistance program which discriminates against private schools would itself constitute such a threat to pri vate school education that, in the words of one observer, “it would be better to take what ever risk may be involved in accepting federal aid than to see private education put out of business.” Jottings . . . (Continued from Page 4) technology, of dark primitive forces unleashed from his own subhuman depths.” * * * NOW WE TURN to the novelist and the picture of man which he holds up. We find this comment from Alfred Kazin in an essay from his new collection entitled “The Alone Generation.” Mr. Kazin writes: “American society is remarkable for the degree of loneliness (not solitude) in which the individual can find himself. In our mass age, the individual's lack of privacy, his unlimited demand for self satisfaction, his primary concern for his own health and well-being have actually thrown him back on himself more than before . . . The sluttishness of a society whose ideal seems to be unlimited consumption of all possible goods and services is the reason for ‘success’ of writers who paint America as an unlimited supply of sex, travel, liquor--and lonely yearners.” Words by the millions, pictures by the hundreds and still we fail to communicate with our fellow man. We feel a dumbness in our agony. Sometimes 1 I foolishly suppose that I am the only person in the world agonizing in my inability to articulate and reach out of this prison of flesh and pride and selfishness. The loneliness and isolation of our times is evident. A leading psychiatrist has said we no longer have strong friendships between man and man, woman and woman. We fear them as competitors. Friend ship is distorted by most of today’s novelists, as is love. I recoil a hundred times a day from the degrading, human- humaness of man and his created world. But with every breath I take I thank God for a faith that tells me who I an and where I am going. I wish this month’s graduates would know this, too. Man is not alone. There is hope always because there is God. The son of ,an Episcopadian minister, he was converted to Catholicism when he was a boy. He was rated a foremost authority on Alaska because of his work in ethnology, an thropology, paleontology, ich thyology, oceanography and vol canology. Father Hubbard was a native of San Francisco. His parents gave him his middle name in honor of a Civil War leader, Gen. W. S. Rosecrans. He was a frail youth when he began climbing the Santa Cruz moun tains with his dog, a gun and camera. He was nicknamed “Fossil” Hubbard by fellow students at St. Ignatius Col lege (now the University of San Francisco) and Santa Clara U., as a result of his explorations. He joined the Jesuits in 1908 and taught science and litera ture in several Jesuit colleges until 1921, when he was sent to the University of Innsbruck, Austria, to complete his theo logical studies. There he found time for mountain climbing in the Tyrolean Alps and won for himself the name of Gletscher Pfarrer -- the equivalent of glacier priest. After his return to the U.S. and his appointment to the Santa Clara faculty, Father Hubbard spent his summer in explora tions and scientific pursuits in Alaska.

He made valuable con tributions to science through his writings and through the motion pictures he took dur ing his explorations. During World War II he served as an auxiliary chaplain to the U.S. armed forces in Alaska, and also as an adviser on terrain, weather, clothing and food. One summer, with a party of eight, Father Hubbard cross ed the hazardous Bering Strait in a canoe to prove how an cient tribes of Asia could have reached this continent. In 1937 and 1938 he spent 18 months with Eskimos on King Island in the Bering Strait, where he dedicated a bronze statue of Christ the King. The inhabi tants of the island are be lieved to be descendants of Asians because of their lan guage and facial character istics. Father Hubbard suffered his first stroke in 1955. At the time he commented: “Twenty- five years in Alaska either kills you or makes you so tough noghing can hurt you. I figured some day I’d perhaps break a leg and be out of commission for a while, but I never thought the roof would fall in.” By strenuous daily exercise with Henry Schmidt, trainer at Santa Clara, Father Hubbard * ‘raised the roof' ’ and overcame the effects of the stroke suffi ciently to enable him to con tinue his trips to the far north. In recent years he occupied himself with research, writing and lecturing. He was a mem ber of many scientific organi zations and was held in high regard by scientists. Father Hubbard stirred the scientific world in 1949 with this blunt statement: “I doubt whether anyone has reached the North Pole on foot.” It was generally accepted that Adm. Robert E. Peary had accom plished this feat in 1909. But Father Hubbard contended the shifting ice floes made the feat impossible. A powerful weatherbeaten man, Father Hubbard once said that the qualifications for moun tain climbing and exploring are “a strong back, a strong stomach, a dumb head and a good guardian angel.” HEADS SOCIETY DETROIT, May 12 (NC) - Fa ther R.

THE BULLETIN, June 9, 1962—PAGE 5 Happy Escapees Barefoot and in patched clothing’, a group of refugees from Red China sit in the shade of a large tree in Portuguese- ruled Macao. In the background, a priest-official of Cath olic Relief Services-NCYVC, supervises the distribution of surplus food. Each night people risk their lives to escape from famine-ridden China; some swim to Macao, others come by boat, and a few slip across the border on foot. Those caught are sentenced to labor camps for as long as two and a half years.
