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 Bibb Distributing Company 1645 Seventh St. MACON, GA. SH. 6-8164 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! Named Council Expert STOCKTON, Calif., (NC) — Msgr. Mark J. Hurley, Chan cellor of the Stockton diocese, has been appointed peritus (ex pert) at the Second Vatican Council, the Chancery office here announced.

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.
