1963 Unity Octave Will Mark
Centenary Of Founders Birth
GARRISON, N.Y.,(NC) — The
1963 Chair of Unity Octave, to
be observed January 18 to 25,
will mark the 100th anniversary
of the birth of its founder. Fa
ther. Paul James Francis, S.A.
A statement by the Chair of
Unity Apostolate office at So
ciety of the Atonement head
quarters here described the
octave as "a reflection of Fa
ther Paul’s personality in long
ing for reunion and an expres
sion of his desire to share the
blessings of one faith with oth
ers.”
The unity octave is observed
annually as a period of pray
er for religious unity. Servic
er- during the octave are held
all over the U. S. and in other
countries.
The Octave was begun in 1908
by Father Paul, who was at that
time an Episcopalian minister.
He entered the Catholic Church
in 1909 together with a small
group of followers who com
posed the Society of the Atone
ment. Father Paul was ordain
ed a Catholic priest in 1910.
The future founder of the
unity octave was born in Mil
lington, Md., on January 16,
1863, the youngest of four chil
dren. Following in his father's
footsteps he became an Epis
copalian minister. He served
in Maryland, Kingston, N.Y.,
and Omaha, Neb., before com
ing here in 1899.
Father Paul was the founder
of many charitable and aposto
lic organizations. However, his
chief interest was the cause of
religious unity. He promoted
the unity octave until his death
in 1940.

The Twelve-Month
Christmas Stocking
(By Mary Louise Chetham)
It was just an ordinary, long,
red cotton Christmas stocking
with a bit of white at top and
toe, and a stamped-on holly
sprig. Still it was cheery look
ing, and it had become so much
a part of Christmas at our
house, it seemed a shame to
discard it, just because the
child who had opened it year
after year had now become a
teenager.
I’ll make it into a 12-month
stocking,” I thought. “Each
month, through the year, I’11 buy
some little gift at a bargain
counter, wrap it, and put it away
for the stocking. When Christ
mas comes, the surprises will
even be surprises to me.”
A dozen gifts, by leaving some
in boxes and adding a few rattly
nuts here and there, would make
the stocking bulge exactly right.
For the toe, there was a be
guiling china pig bank, with pink
snout and tail, and a ring of
four-leaf clover around the slot
in his back. I found him for 50
cents, at a hardware store
“Tumbletable.” Dropingadime
into him, I added a little verse:
“My diet is dimes,
So be a good worker,
And I’ll be a beautiful
Coin-fed porker.”
For February, there was a

pocket-size photo album. For
March, a bracelet with gray
stones, like pussy-willows. For
April, an amusing shower-cap"
with French-poodle design,
price 39 cents. May added a
jeweled flower pin, June, a deli
cate chain necklace with tiny 1
pearls; July, a little gold con
tainer shaped like an oyster
shell, to keep the necklace in.
For August, I added white ear
rings, for September, a pen.
Among the final three gifts,
I included a tiny celluloid doll
with moveable arms and legs
and a twist of blonde hair. There
was also a minature stuffed
monkey, brown, with a yellow
face and a blue ribbon, whose
tail pulled out to become a tape-
measure. At the very top, I
placed a mammy-doll bell, in
red dress and perky white ap
ron, adding to the whole a
Christmasy tinkle.
There hung the teenager, the
night before Christmas, bulky
and mysterious as ever. None
of the gifts had cost over a
dollar, most of them far less.
And who had the most pleasure
from the 12-month stocking,
the mother who filled it, or
the daughter who opened it, it
is difficult to say!

Bible Reading, Lord’s Prayer
In Schools Assailed In Brief
Filed With Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, (NC) - Bible
reading and recitation of the
Lord’s Prayer in Baltimore
public schools have been at
tacked in a legal brief filed
with the U. S. Supreme Court.
The brief argues that these
practices in public schools are
"unconstitutional under both
the Free Exercise: and the Es
tablishment clauses of the First
Amendment.”
The brief was prepared by
Baltimore attorney Leonard J.
Kerpelman, counsel for Mrs.
Madalyn Murray of
Baltimore and her teenage son
William J. Murray III. The
brief states that the Murrays
are atheists.
Mrs. Murray and her son
have for several years been
waging a legal battle against
the religious practices in Bal
timore public schools. Young
Murray is a student at the Bal
timore Polytechnic Institute.
The Maryland Court of Ap
peals, the state’s highest court,
last June upheld the constitu
tionality of the religious prac
tices in a 4-3 decision.
Last October the Supreme
Court agreed to consider the
Baltimore case, along with a
similar dispute involving reli
gious practices in Peftnsylvania
schools. Oral arguments in
the two cases will take place
within the next month or two
and the court will hand down a
ruling before it adjourns next
June.
A court official said no legal
briefs have been filed yet in the
Pennsylvania case and none is
expected before early January.
Kerpelman’s brief for the
Murrays relied heavily on the
Supreme Court June 25 decision
in the New York school prayer
case, Engel vs. Vitale. The
court there ruled against a
prayer prescribed by the New
SAVANNAH
York State Board of Regents
for recitation in New York
public school.
Kerpelman suggests that the
practices involved in the Balti
more case are even more plain
ly unconstitutional than those in
New York case. The situation
in New York, he says, "con
cerned a more innocuous pray
er, not taken from any particu
lar religion, but merely com
posed and sanctioned by the
school authorities, and did not
involve a reading from a holy
book.” ;
Noting that students may be
excused from the Baltimore
school religious practices at the
request of their parents, Ker
pelman declares that this ac
tually involves a form of " re
ligious discrimination." j;
He says this discrimination
would be "wholly as severe
in its social and psychological
effects as the racial discrimi
nation which was before the
court in the (school) segregation
cases and. . .such segregation
on a religious basis is jvfrolly
prohibited by the decisioft in
the segregation cases."
He also argues that even
though children are excused
from the religious practices,
the disapproval of teachers and
fellow students, whether silent
or spoken, puts pressure on the
children to conform or penal
izes them for non-conformity.
Kerpelman says the Murrays
have no wish to curtail ‘ ‘objec
tive study of discussion of any
subject, including religion, in
the public school."
"What the petitioners do ob
ject to is the sanctioning of
favor, for religion as opposed to
non-religion, and to the conduct
of religious teachings, whether
such teachings be called sec
tarian or whether they be called
non-sectarian," he says.
DoubL Isuty
Msgr. Girolamo Baggio, sec
retary to the Apostolic Dele
gation in Sydney, Australia,
is making the most of his
stay in the “land down un
der.” While carrying out his
duties at the delegation, the
Italian prelate is also visit
ing New Zealand to give
missions to the Italian com
munity in Auckland and
Wellington. He is a member
of the Pious Society of St.
Charles, an order dedicated
to work among the migrants.

Bishop’s Remains
Entombed
LOS ANGELES, (NC) — The
remains of Bishop Francis Mo
ra, who governed the Monterey-
Los Angeles diocese from 1878
to 1896, were entombed in Cal
vary Mausoleum here. The
Bishop died in 1905 in Spain.
He was buried in Sarria, near
Barcelona. The cemetery there
was to be deactivated so the
Mora family gave permission
for the Bishop's remains to be
brought to Los Angeles for re
entombment.
A Pontifical Requiem Mass
offered by Auxiliary Bishop
Timothy Manning of Los Angel-,
es, in St. Vibiana’s cathedral,
which Bishop Mora helped to
build, preceded the (Dec. 5) en
tombment.
