4 THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA JUNE 5, 1926. Some Plays Need Padlocks Cardinal Hayes Declares Pays Tribute to Catholic Actors’ Guild in Address at Annual Dinner in New York (By N. C. W. C. News Service) New York—Authors who write drama and fiction with unbridled realism was rebuked by His Emi nence Patrick Cardinal Hayes in an address to 1,500 guests at the annual luncheon of the Catholic Actors’ Guild held at the Hotel Astor. Cardi nal Hayes declared that such au thors are holding up false ideas of life to the youth of the country. His Eminence attended the lun cheon as guest of honor wearing the red cape and hat symbolic of his office. He entered with a uni formed escort. Wilton Lackaye, Vice- President of the Guild and ^oast- master. sat on the Cardinal’s left while Pedro de Cordoba sat on his right and Thomas Meigham the mo tion picture actor, sat not far away. Mayor Walker’s expressed desire for a ’’clean, wholesome statge in New York,” was praised by His Emi nence. He was delighted with the Mayor’s stand, he said, adding that ’it puts a plot of shame on our city to think that for a moment unfit plays can be tolerated.” “We need more of a padlock on that type and institution than we do on" other things to which pad locks have been applied,” the Cardi nal continued. “Faith, hope and charity have been pushed aside in such plays, just to pander to the lowest instincts of human nature And what grieves me most is that many actors and actresses with gen uine talent are willing to < play such parts on our stages today.” His Eminence paid a warm tribute to the members of the Catholic Ac tors’ Guild, saying that it is impos sible for the stage to grow with such actors and actresses belonging to the profession. He said it fcas his wish that they could influence playwrights to write only clean and uplifting plays.” , Will H. Have, former Postmaster General and a leading figure in the motion picture industry, declared / that Cardinal Hayes’ work in or ganizing the Catholic Charities has helped to stamp him as one of the great men of the stage. Other speakers were Surrogate John P. O’Brien, the Rev. Martin E. Fahy, Chaplain of the Guild; Otis Skinner and Assistant Corporation Counsel Arthur J. W Hilly, who rep resented Mayor Walker. Dominican Father Discovers Altar Joshua Built at Command of Moses NUNS USE AIRPLANE French Priest, Professor in J erusalem, Finds Relics Past Centuries of Previous Search by Other Scholars Had Not Revealed—Discovery An Important One. By Dr. Alexander Mombelli (Jerusalem Correspondent, N.C.W.C. News Service) Jerusalem.—Through the efforts of a Dominican Fajther. it is believed that the famous Biblical altar of Joshua, constructed about the fif teenth century B. C., has at last been found. It is remarkable that an actual altar has been discovered, whereas centuries of previous search had not even revealed the site. Father Raphael Canneau, a pro fessor at tile Ecole Biblique de St. Etienne in Jerusalem, is the man who made tile discovery, after a series of new researches based on premises not used before. When the Israelites came out of tlie desert, according to the Bible, and, Moses having died in the land of AJoab, crossed the Jordan under the guidance of Joshua, they con fronted, the city of Jericho. This city they took, then consolidated their first conquests by capturing the city of Hai, after which they advanced as far as Sichem. It is related, after the account of the fall of Hai, that Joshua “built an altar to the Lord the,God of Israel in Mount Hebal,” and that, accord ing to the command of Moses, it was “an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched.” Upon this altar, it is further re lated, Joshua offered holocausts to the Lord and read to the people the blessings promised to those who faithfully followed the law and the punishment reserved for those who transgressed. The Bible describes the scene thus: “And all the people and the • an cients and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, be fore the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by Mount Garizim, and half by Mount Hebal as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.” Now Mount Garizim and Mount Hebal are the two highest points in Samaria today, and belong to the range of mountains that crosses Palestine and forms the vertebra of the country. They overlook the plain, or plateau, that Jacob, in his own picturesque terms, said extend- Religious Overcome Trans portation Difficulties WHITNEY-McNEILL ELECTRIC CO.

Numberless explorers of Palestine and pilgrims to the Holy Places have searched in this territory for the site of the impressive ceremony de scribed in the Bible, but without avail. Most of them sought-the al tar of Joshua on the plateau be tween Garizim and Hebal. How ever, they had great difficulty in- reconciling the terrain to the Bib lical account, chiefly because of the comparatively great distance be tween the two mounts, which is more than two miles in a direct line. Father Canneau took an alto gether fresh start on the problem. He first discussed it thoroughly, then made a careful examination of the Biblical test. He observed a certain valley that runs up to the two flanks of Mount Hebal and Mount Garizim, forming a sort of amphitheater. Immediately he conceived the pic ture of the ark, the altar and the priests in the center of. the valley, with the people gathered on the two sides in such position that they might see the altar and hear the words of Joshua. This seemed ap proximately to fulfill the require ments of the Biblical account, since the people would be “by Mount Ga rizim” and “by Mount Hebal,” yet within sight of the altar. Having thus localized the proba ble position of the altar and har monized it with the scriptural de scription, he began his search. He found, near the spot where he had theoretically placed the altar, seven great blocks of stone, disposed in a semi-circle, with a broad stone at the center. The central stone was of such a height that it might well serve today as an altar. It is 1.16 meters long, 1.13 meters broad from 20 to 40 centimeters thick. Tbe discovery is regarded as of great value in the study of the Is raelites’ history through monu ments they have left. There al ready are known some Semitic al tars, but this example is believed to be the first example of an authen tic Israelitic altar. (By N. C. W, C. News Service) Valparaiso, Chile—Overcoming a natural dread of the unusual experiment, several Sisters of St. Anne recently employed an air plane to get from Antofagasta, Chile, to Santa Cruz, Bolivia, a mission to which they had been assigned, when poor railroad conditions prevented their mak ing the journey -overland. The nuns had reached Anto fagasta after crossing the At lantic and Pacific oceans, and faced a five-day railroad journey to Suanta Cruz. This trip was im possible, however, and the sis ters, dismayed by the prospect of being delayed in reporting at their new mission field, appeal ed to the Superior of the con vent at Antofagasta, who ap pealed in turn to the governor, who has been exceedingly kind to the jiuns since their arrival here.
