NAZARETH N. C„ — With one
hundred and sixty children registered
for the annual religious vacation
school here, two hundred and twenty
put in an appearance the first day,
setting a record for enrollment. The
Old Soldiers’ Home loaned fifteen
beds, twenty-five more were rented,
and an additional supply was pur
chased.
Each morning the children attended
Mass, and after breakfast there fol
lowed classes in catechism, bible his
tory, the Mass, sacred vessels, vest
ments and kindred subjects, with
Church history for the larger child
ren. The children lived in a religious
atmosphere during their weeks at the
camp, something unique in the ex
perience of most of them, coming as
they do from little communities, in
many of which there is no resident
' priest, no contact with Sisters, and
with but casual contact with the
i priests.
The boys were taught how to serve
Mass; few of the priests on the mis
sions have the luxury of Mass-serv
ers, and the Sisters gave an intensive
course to the boys. The Sisters of
Mercy were assisted by the Sisters of
the heart of Mary of Scranton.
The Most Rev. William J. Hafey,
D. D., Bishop of Raleigh visited the
camp, and the manner in which the
boys served and in which the child
ren sang were a source of great satis
faction and pleasure to him. He made
a tour of all the class rooms and ad
dressed the children in the auditor
ium. The school was held at the Or
phanage, the facilities of the or
phanage with their buildings for boys
and girls, class-rooms, dining rooms,
playgrounds and above all the chapel
lending themselves admirably to the
arrangements.
A North Carolina Study Club was
organized by the girls, for the pro
motion of knowledge of and interest
in the Carolina missions.

Bring Victory, His Excel

Clergy and Laymen at
Asheville
(Special to The Bulletin)
ASHEVILLE, N. C.—An eloquent
address by the Most Rev. William J.
Hafey, D. D., Bishop of Raleigh, in
which he asserted that Communism
thrives 1 on dissension among its foes
featured a session of the National
Conference of Clergy and Laymen,
sponsored by the “American For
ward Movement” here. Other speak
ers on the program on which Bishop
Hafey appeared, and which was ar
ranged by the Rev. Ralph E. Noll-
ner, Methodist pastor of Houston,
Texas, were the Rev. John LaFarge.
S. J.. of the editorial staff of “Amer
ica”. New York, and Rabbi Abraham
L. Feinberg, New York City.
“What plans can you formulate to
combat effectively the world's com
mon enemy, Our Saviour’s Shame
less foe, Communism?” Bishop Ha
fey asked.
“Making speeches and passing res
olutions in defense of Christianity
and our constitution and in condem
nation of Atheism and Communism
will be of little avail,” Bishop Hafey
said. He continued:
"The attitude of our commercial
ized journalists does not insure a
fair publication. You will be dis
credited before the public in many
an editorial page. More than words
are necessary. A concerted action
only will insure victory, and the ac
tion must be concerned notw ith an-
plication of superficial ppultices but
with radical cures applied to the dis
eased roots.
BENEDICTINE SCHOOL
ASSOCIATION MEETS
Abbot Vincent Re-elected
Vice-President of Educators
“Are you prepared to uphold the
decision of our United States Su
preme Court in the famous Oregon
case that to the parent belongs an
inalienable right to educate his child
in the school which he chooses? Or
will you allow the principle, of Com
munism to prevail, that the right of
the state is supreme and that a de
partment of education with a dicta
tor in Washington would be an
American ideal?
“Unless the members of this group
lift themselves above sectionalism
and sectarianism, there can be no
unity, and Communism incites and
thrives on the dissension of its ene
mies ... It Is not improbable that
within a generation, yes, even with
in a decade, the citizens of America
will find themselves faced with a
choice between two philosophies,

president of the association. The Rt.
Rev. Alcuin Deutsch, O. S. B., Abbot

Smese Congregation.
The convention unanimously ac
cepted the invitation of the Rt. Rev.
Lambert Burton, O. S. B„ Abbot of
S't. Martin Abbey. Lacey, Wash., to
meet there next year.
“There is joy at seeing so many
children respond to the call of their
good Bishop to come to Nazareth for
two weeks of intensive religious
training,” Father R. J. MacMillan of
the Religious Vacation Camp writes
in the North Carolina Apostolate.
“There is happiness in the thought
that these many children, who have
not the opportunity of attending a
Catholic school, will be taught a
greater knowledge, love and fear of
God. There is delight at knowing that
friendships will be formed among
children of their own religion, that
here they will have the companion
ship of other Catholic boys and girls.
The Diocese is indeed grateful to the
entire, faculty of the summer school.
