BOOKS FOR CHILDREN Two additions to the Christian Child's Stories series (Bruce, 50c each) are: THE BONG-BONG PRINCESS, by Sister Mary Francis Assisi, C. S. A., a lively story about a mischievous 3-year-old princess and her three brothers, with gay illustrations in color by Sister Mary Donald, C. S. A.; MY LITTLE BOOK OF THANKS, by Sister Maryanna, O. P., simple “thank You, dear Lord!” verses for everything from the wonders of nature to teachers and priests, playmates and par ents, angels and saints, Blessed Mother, Baby Jesus, and the Holy Trinity, with charming colored pictures by June Roberts. Another book for young readers (Ages 8 to 10) is: RING AROUND THE ROSARY, by Msgr. J. D. Fitzgerald (Bruce, $2.00), reviewed by Sister Mary Alberta. Monsignor Fitzgerald has brought forth the beauty and depth of the mysteries of the rosary in his newest publication. Told in the everyday language of a child, each of the mysteries is clarified by an entertaining character. The parables are so appealing that they are sure to be recalled over and over again. Only in later years will the child appreciate the profound theology wrapped up in these capricious characters. Not only for the young readers should this book be a treasure, but also for the teacher of pri mary grades or the priest search ing for naive examples for chil dren’s instructions in religion. Here is a simplified method of meditating on the mysteries of the rosary as the child learns "Mary’s favorite prayer.” For teen-agers: THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOON, by Meriol Trevor (Sheed & Ward, $3.00), reviewed by Peggy Lloyd. When the crew of the rocket, Moondart, began their trip, they were under the im pression that the moon was a crater-pitted planet with little or no life. When they reached their destination they found there was another side, a side filled with wonder and beauty and all that is good. The author describes the peaceful city of Corduluc, where there was no greed or crime; and the barren, lifeless side inhabited by those who were inclined toward evil; showing the effects of the two cities on the members of the rocket crew. The struggle between the two cities is sym bolic of the struggle of mankind. This imaginative story may be interesting to adults as well as delightfully fresh and enjoyable to teen-agers. ONE IN CHRIST, by Illtud ANDERSON'S BARBER SHOP BUCKHEAD - BUCKHEAD Bowling Center 4 • INDIVIDUALS • LEAGUES • CLUBS 3141 Peachtree Road CE. 3-9189 TEXACO PRODUCTS GENERAL TIRE & SUPPLY CO. Broad at Twelfth St. AUGUSTA, GA. S3IH3LIV3 3YH3N3Q S3HI1 3YH3N3D Evans, O. P. (Fides, 95c). (Reviewed by Cecilia L, Hines) The theme of this little paper back is the life and the prayer of the Church. It is a short book, only 80 pages, and most of the material has appeared previously in The Tablet, Blackfriars, or The Life of the Spirit. Every now and then some alert editor of a Cath olic newspaper or magazine quotes from articles by the author, who is Prior of St. Dominic’s Priory in London. The main theme which runs through the book like the leit motif of a symphony never de viates from its objective. The thoughts presented make no at tempt to prove or argue about the truths that Catholics believe; rather they show what being a Catholic really means. The lan guage is profoundly simple, the context devoutly practical and clearly stated. Christian charity, as it should be exemplified, is treated so that it permeates the mind and heart of the reader without confusing him. Listen to Father Evans: “The Mystical Body of Christ is one because He is one.” “It is the function of the liturgy, not mere ly to express mystery, but to make it known and loved and shared.” Writing like this cannot help but make the Church and her teach ing nearer and more meaningful to all who seek to know God, to serve Him, and to be happy for ever with Him in heaven. THE SACRED HEART IN THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH, by Margaret Williams RSC.I (Sheed & Ward, $3.75). (Reviewed by Rev. John Schroder, S. J.) Here is an historical description of the origin and development of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This devotion did not begin at a late period in the Church’s history, but has existed from the beginning. “We know, therefore,” said Pope Pius XII, “that the devotion whereby we pay homage to Jesus Christ’s love for men through the august sign of the wounded Heart of the Re deemer nailed to the cross has never been entirely unknown to Christian piety.” Quotations of those who wrote most and best on the subject, in cluding popes and saints of various., centuries?;,' * are • carefully documented in this book. MAN AND HIS HAPPINESS . . . VOL. Ill, Theology Library ($6.50); THE VIRTUES AND STATES OF LIFE . , . VOL. IV, Theology Library ($8.75); both edited by A. M. Henry, O.P., (Fides). Webster defines theology as “religious knowledge and belief, esp. when methodically formulat ed.” The classic specimen, of course, is St. Thomas’ unfinished colossus, the Summa Thso- loaica. Such a nice piece of “methodical formulation” was this that to our time theology compilers have their pattern cut out for them. Indeed, after Aquinas, all else seems a little anti-climactic. However, ti17i.es change and problems, wob- dev ils, emerge in new lights with apparently strange faces. This calls for revamped evaluations and fresh applications of ancient rules; sometimes it calls for a thing as simple as a change in the gears of writing style. According ly, the Theology Library, written within the past ten years by a group of French Dominican scho lars, and now being presented in English translation by Fides, fills a conspicious gap. St. Thomas did not deal with Sigmund Freud nor with a jack rabbit culture driven by the complex demands of a wildly multiplied knowledge to require the minimum explana tion of the maximum subject. The present Theology Library takes these diverse problems and count less related developments into ac count. Volumes I and II were published prior to last year, with Volumes V and VI yet to come. The two books most recently published by themselves repre sent the authorship of approxi mately twenty-two persons, a 11 working under Father A. M. Hen ry, General Editor of the Theolo gy Library. In context these two correspond to the Second Part of St. Thomas’ Summa, a section which deals with “moral theolo gy.” They are companion vol umes, Volume III stressing the fundamental norms, or generali ties, of morality; Volume VI ex pands to touch on the particular act, or isolated instance, as it may be seen by exhaustive discussions of the three theological and four cardinal virtues. Though bound closely to the other four volumes of this set, these two may be read independently with unhampered benefit and satisfaction as the topics discussed and conclusions shown do not require a know ledge of the related volumes to be understood. The present English translation in six uniform volumes is under the direction of Louis J. Putz, C.S.C., of the University of Notre Dame. The spirit and design of this edition do him credit. Consid ering the large number of authors, the text is remarkable for the har mony and lucidity of the style of the writing. Any passage, picked at. random, is characteristically direct and simple, speaking worlds not only for the authors and translators, but for the good strong rein that guided them. SERVICES FOR j, K. LYNAM ATLANTA, Ga. — Funeral services for Mr. John Kennedy Lynam, were held January 10th at the Cathedral of Christ the King, Rev. John Mulroy officiat ing. WAR AND CHRISTIANITY TODAY, by Francis Stratmann, O.P., (Newman, $3.00). (Reviewed by Elizabeth Hester) This translation by John Doe- bele from the original German text by Father Stratmann is probably a good one, a conclusion that derives from the peculiar vividness with which a reader can feel the author’s personality. War and Christianity Today is not remarkable for style, wit, or the unique nature of its author’s ideas, but Father Stratmann’s en thusiasm for his subject is as res- iliently bounding as adolesence; almost, from time to time, the reader feels like pausing while a cheer leader and chorus scream from the sidelines, “Yeeeeaaa . . . go, team, GO!!!” In actual context, Father Strat mann’s book supports a very lib eral stance, coinciding at many points with views more generally associated with humanists than with Catholics. This is not to say that his views are not Catholic, but, rather, the inference is that occasionally the extreme rightist quality of many Catholics’ views are not always demonstrably Christian. Within this loose con fine, then, the German priest calls for outlawing the use of atomic and hydrogen bombs (even as re taliatory weapons). He heartily supports the United Nations, look ing to it as the strongest political force available for the ameliora tion of war-prone situations. The one point, however, which the entire work leads to again and again is. Father Stratmann’s urg ent insistence on the necessity of the individual’s thinking, eval uating, and acting as an individu al and a Christian. He asserts that the masses never desire war, that wars are the machinations of a power-seeking few who compel the masses. who, in turn, more often than not, re-act with blind obedience, giving, according to Father Stratmann, considerably more to Caesar than is Caesar’s due. (One feels the priest’s un happy and immediate memory of a Germany which blindly made a demigod of a , phychopathic housepainter.) His point, of course, is well made. One is only left to wonder, how to fill the masses with this individual re sponsibility which, apparently, they want no more than they want wars? We do not' suggest there is no solution; rather, the point being made is that prob ably the solution Father Strat mann has arrived at has notice ably by-passed some vital stages of a yet very much unresolved problem.

Misuse Of Mo Power Kurts U.S. (N.C.W.C. News Service) NOTRE DAME, Ind. — The United Nations is “gravely handi capped” by the Soviet Union’s misuse of the veto power in the Security Council, Sir Pierson Dix on, permanent representative of the United Kingdom to the UN, declared here. The veteran British diplomat conceded that the United Nations was able to halt aggression in Korea. This was possible, he said “only because by a tactical mis calculation the Soviet delegation was absent from the Security Council and therefore not able to impose its veto when the im portant decision was taken. This was an accident which we cannot count on being repeated.” Sir Pierson, who has headed Britain’s delegation to the UN since 1954, discussed “Diplomacy at the United Nations” in a lec ture sponsored by the University of Notre Dame’s committee on in ternational relations. “The Soviet line is to play on the fear of war,” Sir Pierson as serted. In the last few months, he noted, “they have intensified their propaganda effojt by capi talizing on their remarkable ad vances in science and by alternat ing peace propaganda with intim idation.” He admitted that Russia’s peaceful co-existence slogan “has some appeal and wins some sup port” among the so-called un committed countries. But he in sisted that “peace is something that has to be striven for; it is not something that can be bought by a paper agreement or by a slo gan.” The British diplomat also con tended that the’.aims of the UN charter have been “distorted” in favor of anti-colonialism and ul tra-nationalism. “Soviet propagandists represent themselves,” Sir Pierson said, “as the great anti-eolonialists and supporters of nationalistic move ments. The object is to play on the conditions of the emergent countries of Asia and Africa and to fan prejudices which do not in fact correspond to the realities of the world.” “The facts are,” he continued, “that the United States is con tributing to the progress of un derdeveloped countries in a sig nificant and disinterested way and Britain for the past century and more has been leading the dependent parts of her empire to independence. The Soviet Un ion, on the other hand, has ac quired and consolidated an im perial hold over people of non- Russian races both in central Asia and in Eastern Europe.” Sir Pierson argued, too, that the United Nations, in the opinion of many,, applied “a double.stand- ard behavior” in dealing with the Suez and Hungarian crises, resulting in “a grave and perhaps fatal weakening of its moral strength.” Despite its deficiencies and lim itations, the United Nations is “a most valuable institution,” Sir Pierson emphasized. “If it had not been in existence during the past 12 years,” he said, “the international situation would be graver today.” United Nations debate on con troversial issues can often bring the pressure of world opinion to bear where it is needed, Sir Pier son noted. However, he pointed out, “a problem which might be solved by the old fashioned methods of private unpublicized diplomacy often becomes intract able when debated in the UN.” “Private diplomacy is not only unfashionable, it has come to be regarded as positively immoral,” Sir Pierson observed. “Private diplomacy smells of secret di plomacy and secret diplomacy is plotting behind people’s backs. Covenants are often not achieved at all if they have to be reached through the medium of public de bate.” MATTER OF TIME Don’t worry about the younger generation — eventually they’ll slow down like the rest of us. Condemns Those Who Use Church For Ambitions (Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service) ROME, — Catholics in public life who use the Church to further their own ambitions have been sharply criticized by an Italian Cardinal. They were denounced by His Eminence Alfredo Cardinal Ot- taviani, Pro-Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, in an article in II Quotid- iano, Rome’s Catholic Action daily. The article — one of a series explaining the Church’s stand prior to Italy’s coming national election — has been attacked by communist leaders who have in terpreted a part of it as an illegal interference in the nation’s in ternal affairs. Cardinal Ottaviani singled out for blame office holders in Cath olic countries who betray their religious convictions. He said: “Certain men, who have been entrusted by Catholics with the mandate to protect in public life the Christian principles proclaim ed by their organizations, often show in practice that they have their own ambitions, political success or social position more at heart than the progress toward a better world in which the Church seeks to lead humanity.” Mentioning no names, the Card inal continued: “There are even some Catholics invested with political power who dare take the side of those who not only offend the Church but plainly massacre her. And meanwhile they use priests as tools in their dealings with pow erful men and thus create throughout the country a feeling of weariness toward the men of eternity who are turned into agents of temporal matters.” Cardinal Ottaviani did not mention the names of the coun tries to which he referred, say ing only “they are large, they are entire continents.” His article, however, was at tacked as interference in Italian political affairs by a group of communist senators, including Sen. Celeste Negarville, who re cently headed a delegation of Italian Peace Partisans who vis ited Soviet Foreign Minister An drei Gromyko in Moscow. The senators asked Premier Adone Zoli if “the threatening statements made publicly by Cardinal Ottaviani . . . against the opinions expressed by a mem ber of the Council of Ministers (cabinet) concerning diplomatic issues and problems pertaining to the foreign policy of the Italian state” were compatible with the constitutional provision saying that “the State and Church are each independent and sovereign in their own right.” The Reds were apparently in terpreting a part of the Cardinal’s article as an attack on Sen. Dino Del Bo, Christian Democrat who recently advocated a neutralist policy; toward the Soviet Union. Sen. Del Bo is the cabinet mini ster in charge of relations be tween the cabinet: and Parlia ment. Vatican Radio said in answer to the communist attack that the Reds had “willfully altered the meaning” of the Cardinal’s ar ticle which merely coincided with the “Del Bo case.” It added that the Cardinal was addressing all Catholics in an attempt to make them show a greater sense of re sponsibility at a time when the Church is under attack. The Rome daily, Messaggero, stated that although Cardinal Ot taviani was not referring to par ticular cases, he must have meant to include Sen. Del Bo in his condemnation.
