ECEMBER 10, 1932 THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GFOFOTA' f Bishop Hafey Sees Benefits Flowing From Depression And the Charlotte Observer Editorially Asserts That There Can Be No G ainsaying His Assertions (Editorial in The Charlotte, N. C. Observer) >. In this day and time, hardly any proposition can be advanced that somebody does not come along to knock it. Witness: The Open Forum. But one day last week a visiting prelate—Bishop William Hafey, of Raleigh, delivered some thoughts be fore a Catholic audience in Char lotte against which there can be no contention. He was arguing that out of the depression the world is to de rive spiritual benefits of enduring kind, largely through renunciation of the wrong ideals which had obtained and mainly through reconstruction of the home, for the home is the basis of security and happiness for all peo ple. Bishop Hafey’s idea is that the country has been overwhelmed in gloom, but the people are breaking away from the foolish philosophies that have operated as an opiate, rath er than a source of enlightenment, and are now, out of suffering and tribulations, “looking upward to see through the starry dome, the hands of Him who made them”. None will gainsay the truth of Bishop Hafey’s declaration that the depression has brought humility to millions of American people and has thus devel oped a basis for “purification.” Fur ther, it has brought illumination to their eyes and has caused charity to find its way to the hearts of men. We have evidences of that truth around us every day. Bishop Hafey sees one blessing to the human race in the fact that the marriage time is again coming to be the sacred in stitution that God intended, for the people are awakening to the fact that “the only hope of real society is the family,” while the only hope of the family is the command that “what God hath joined together, let no man tear asunder.” As Bishop Hafey sees into the fu ture, “ideals once shattered are being renewed, while there is coming a fuller realization of the fact that, when the citizen and the Govern ment. society and the family, and the family and the child, have the prop er relationship, the social order de sired will have been achieved.” And to that end, to that achievement, all people should be united. Asheville College Famed Through U.S. St. Genevieve’s One of the Leading Educational In stitutions of the Southeast St. Genevieve - of - the-Pines, con ducted by the Sisters of Chris tian Education, whose reputation in the field of education is world wide, is one of the leading educational insitutions in the South and draws its student body from all parts of the Union.

The school is located on the crest of the beautiful ridge between Asheville and Biltmore in the famed “Land of the Sky.” The Sisters of Christian Education did their first educational work in France and England, educat ing the daughters of the leading fam ilies there, and the same characteris tics which distinguished their efforts there are found in St. Genevieve-of- the-Pines, in all departments.

ASHEVILLE PARISH NEARS CENTENARY St. Joseph’s Leading Southern Sanitarium Its Reputation and Facilities Bring Patients From All Parts of the Union St. Joseph’s Sanitarium, which has been ministering to the sick and suffering for nearly a third of a cen tury, is one of the leading hospitals for the treatment of tubercular pa tients in the country.

Conveniently located, it is nevertheless situated in a quiet neighborhood; the hospital is equip ped with every modem convenience arid appliance, including the latest scientific equipment.
