“That casual meeting was the
turning point in our religious
life. The priest was Monsignor
Francis X. Shea, pastor of Bles
sed Sacrament Church, New
Rochelle. He was gracious
and pleasant and we formed a
friendship which has helped us
in many ways. He deepened
our interest in the Catholic
religion. When my wife de
cided that our son John should
have a Catholic education, Mon
signor was instrumental in get
ting him into Iona Prep School.
“John became a Catholic and
my wife followed in his foot
steps, receiving instructions
from Monsignor Shea at Blessed
Sacrament Church. My reading
and studying had now made clear
to me that Christ had founded
the Catholic Church and auth
orized her to teach all nations.
He promised to remain with her
all days even unto the consum

guard her from error.
“I made my First HolyCom-
munion and our marriage was
blessed by the Church. Our
two other children were bap

receiving Holy Communion to

and his wife has become a con

Monsignor Ronald Knox wish
ed that Caryll Houselander
could establish a school for the
writers of spiritual books. “She
seemed to see everything for
the first time and the driest
of doctrinal considerations
shone out like a restored pic
ture when she had finished with
it — she seemed to find no
difficulty in getting the right
word; no, not merely the right
word, the telling word, that left
you gasping.”
As a rule, the reading public
is skeptical of spiritual writings
by a layperson. Miss House
lander was an English laywoman
— an artist — very much a
part of the London she loved.
Yet her publishers, Sheed and
Ward, found that Caryll House-
lander’s spiritual books outsold
all others.
Maisie Ward, wife of the
publisher, knew Miss House
lander. Her biography is well
done. She has included in it
excerpts from Miss House-
lander’s books and from her
letters. Most readers will be so
turn of a lapsed member. Where
there is zeal, even the most cas
ual contact can be used for a
divine purpose.

to have converts send their

fascinated by these excerpts
that they will seek out one or
more of Caryll Houselander’s
books - “This War is the
Passion,” “A Rocking-Horse
Catholic,” “Guilt”, etc.
Caryll Houselander was an
artist, a skilled wood carver,
who turned, when mature, to
writing as the major work of
her life. Her parents had been
divorced when she was a small
child. In later years Caryll
describes herself as “broken
across psychologically” early
in life. She suffered from
neuroses, from a sense of guilt,
from waves of near despair.
Perhaps this very suffering
gave Caryll Houselander her
unusual insight into individual
character. The validity of her
insight was proved not only by
the sale of her books but by
the people who came to Caryll
for help even before the books
were written. It was proved by
doctors who sought her aid with
their patients, and by the priests
who asked her counsel. At the
heart of her thinking was the
simple rule: We must learn to
see Christ in everyone. The
artist in her saw shapes already
present in the wood she carved
which needed only tools to be
made visible to others. She saw
a sure image of God in even
unlikely souls, needing only
prayer and sacrifice to be made
visible to themselves and the
world.
Mrs. Ward has done well by a
rather “difficult” subject. For
Caryll Houselander is an intri
cate personality who has been
well delineated in this bio
graphy.

As even the most casual wait-
ingroom reader of LIFE would
expect, given the unnumbered
spectacles of Paris, the edi
tors have come up with a first-
rate photographic portrait of
the city. The pictures, in black
and white and color, range from
children entranced by a Tui-
leries puppet show to a Place
Pigalle fireeater to the jewel
like magnificence of the Sainte
Cahppelle. As might also be
expected, the book is over
priced, hard to handle and writ
ten in a style that manages to
be synthetic, pretentious and
condescending simutaneously.
A great deal of information
about Parisian sights and
sounds, monuments, hotels,
restaurants and entertainment
has been collected. A certain
amount of complexity was in
evitable. Nonetheless, a good
guide book is a tool designed
for the very worthwhile, if ar
duous, job of sightseeing. The
LIFE GUIDE will make a pretty
souvenir - or even a passable
substitute for a first-hand ex
perience. It will not, however,
in my opinion, serve as a prac
tical or well-designed guide
book.

Set For Four
Canonizations
VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC)
- His Holiness Pope John XXIII

ses.
Blessed Vincent Pallotti,
founder of the Society of the
Catholic Apostolate, known as
the Pallottine Fathers, died in
his native Rome at the age ot
55 on January 22, 1850, and was
beatified 100 years later to the
day. The congregation he
founded now numbers more than
2,200 members.
Blessed Peter Julian Eymard,
founder of the Congregation of
the Priests of the Blessed Sa
crament and of the Servants
(Sisters) of the Blessed Sacra
ment, was born near Grenoble,
France, in 1811 and died in 1868.
He was beatified in 1925.
Blessed Antonio Pucci was
born near Pistoia, Italy, in 1819.
He became a priest of the Ser-
vite Order, the Servants of
Mary. He was beatified in 1952,
60 years after his death.

Episcopalians Pray
For Vatican Council
The Presiding Bishop of the National Council, Protestant
Episcopal Church has asked that the following prayers for
the Vatican Council be recited regularly during the Ecu
menical Council:
ALMIGHTY AND EVERLASTING GOD, who by thy Holy
Spirit didst preside in the Council of the blessed Apostles,
and hast promised, through thy Son Jesus Christ, to be with
thy Church to the end of the world; We beseech thee to be
with the Council of thy Church now assembled in thy Name
and Presence. Save them from all error, ignorance, pride,
and prejudice; and of thy great mercy vouchsafe, we beseech
thee, so to direct, sanctify, and govern them in their work,
by the mighty power of the Holy Ghost, that the comfortable
Gospel of Christ may be truly preached, truly received,
and truly followed, in all places, to the breaking down the
kingdom of sin, Satan, and death; till at length the whole of
thy dispersed sheep, being gathered into one fold, shall be
come partakers of everlasting life; through the merits and
death of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
O GRACIOUS FATHER, we humbly beseech thee for thy
holy Catholic Church; that thou wouldest be pleased to fill
it with all truth, in all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify
it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is
amiss, reform it. Where it is right, establish it; where it
is in want, provide for it; where it is divided, reunite it;
for the sake of him who died and rose again, and ever
liveth to make intercession for us, Jesus Christ, thy Son,
our Lord. Amen.
O GOD, THE FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ, our
only Saviour, the Prince of Peace; Give us grace seriously
to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy
divisions. Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever
else may hinder us from godly union and concord: that as
there is but one Body and one Spirit, and one hope of our
calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and
Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one
soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith
and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify
thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
P0AU Threatens Ouster Of
Nuns Who Saved Schools
ANTONITO, Colo., (NC)-The
threat of a law suit by Protes
tants and Other Americans
United for Separation of Church
and State hangs over this town
of 1,045 population because the
town has employed Catholic Sis
ters as teachers in its public
schools for 17 years.
In Denver, the Rev. C. Stan
ley Lowell of Washington, edi
tor of POAU’s Church and State
monthly magazine, said a peti
tion will be filed against the
town’s school board in Conejos
County District Court.
Twenty-three of Antonito’s
28 teachers are Benedictine
Sisters, Lowell said.
“Recent investigations have
shown that symbol s of a par
ticular religion are still in
these school rooms; the doc
trines of a particular church
are taught. These are what we
call 'captive schools.' -There
are approximately 500 of them
in the United States,” Lowell
said.
The Denver Post, in report
ing Lowell’s changes, outlined
the background of the Benedic-
ting Sisters teaching in the
Antonito schools.
“Times change," the Post
article said. “During the de
pression, Sisters of the Bene
dictine Order became the hero
ines of the San Luis Valley
when they made it possible to
reopen Antonito’s public
schools — closed for lack of
funds to pay teachers.
“On Sunday, Sept. 13, 1936,
a story from Antonito in the
Denver Post read: ‘The
remarkable comeback of a
bankrupt public school district
in this town through coopera
tion of parochial and public
school authorities was listed
Saturday as the most interest
ing topic as the local schools
were reopened.
“In 1933 the public schools
here closed for lack of funds
to pay the teachers, and the
next year the grade school
operated for four months and
the high school closed.’
In 1934 the grade school also
closed. 'At this juncture,’ the
story continued, 'the Benedic
tine Order of Sisters, hearing
of the plight of the community,
came to Antonito to see what
they could do to help, about 75
per cent of the population of
District No. 10 being Catholic.
“ 'The Sisters made this
proposition to the school board:
Ten of their teaching staff would
conduct the school and would
ask only for the use of school
buildings, which they would put
in good shape and do their own
janitor work.
“ 'The board accepted im
mediately and the Sisters spent
$300 in repairs and the school
was in session for eight months
and it cost the district nothing.

of the district was cut 50 per
cent at the end of the year and

“ ‘ For the 1935 school year
the board made a proposition
to the Sisters because of their
labors without compensation
and previous year. The board
would pay the Sisters a mini
mum salary of $75 a month
and allow $200 a month for the
maintenance of the school.
“ ‘The Sisters accepted the
$75 but voluntarily returned the
$200 to the board.’
