C.—As we be gin the fall-winter season of 1940-41 our parishioners will be egaged first of all in consolidating past gains and in pushing forward, to new goals. In a small parish of less than two hun dred and fifty souls Catholic AcUon has made notable advances. Realiz ing that the one physical and spirit ual contact with tne Church which is common to all practicing Catholics is made at the Sunday offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, no effort is spared to make that participation as active and intelligent as possible. The present pastor is building on the tirm foundation laid by his predeces sor, the Rev. Thomas J. Mackin. On his arrival a few years ago he lound that a considerable number of the parishioners were accustomed to the use of a Sunday or daily Missal. Leaf let Missals are on sale at the Church entrance. No effort is made to profit by these sales, for they are sold at cost, and the boys who attend to these sales see to it that strangers and non-Catholics are supplied with a free copy until their supply is‘ ex hausted. Again, the present pastor found that his predecessor had taken special pride in the behavior of the ministers to the Holy Sacrifice, the servers .at the Altar. They were well and patiently trained for their duties which they performed with an exact ness and devotion which were calcu lated not to be a distraction but a source of edification to the laity who participated at the Holy Sacrifice. This good tradition has been his successor’s aim to maintain. Again, the parishioners had been taught to give a full hour for the fulfillment of their Sunday obligation. This has made it easy for the present incum bent to give an instruction at each Sunday Mass. Finally, the good peo ple of the parish are unusually prompt, and thus there are few late comers, usually visitors who may have had some difficulty in locating the Church; by this good habit, a source of distraction is removed. At the end of the Mass no one leaves the Church until the priest has arriv ed at the Sacristy. It is amusing to see an occasional visitor make a dash for the door; he finds himself with no following. Every effort will be made during the coming year further to reduce our parish debt, which now amounts to $12,716.29. Conscious of the value of a parish school, and of the bless ings which come from the presence of Sisters within our midst, we are confidently looking forward to the beginning of a grade school in the fall of 1941. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Emmet M. Walsh. Bishop of Charleston, is actively and whole heartedly cooperating with us for the achievement of what will mean a sturdier and more Catholic life in our midst. Almost seventy adults out of a parish population of two hundred and fifty souls, all told, participated in our discussion clubs last season. This unusually high percentage means that few adults failed to cooperate. We hope to do even better than that in the coming year. We are conscious of our debt to the young men and young women of Greenville for their efforts to bring about contacts between our youth :n the Piedmont, and our young peo ple are now doing their part furtner- :ng this enterprise. We have visited Greenville for the Mardi Gras ball, the Corpus Christi procession. Com munion breakfast and have partici pated in many Deanery meetings there. A choir of young men have been here to sing on our Holy .Name Sunday, and have been our guests at a Communion breakfast. Young men and women from Greenville have attended our .parish bingo, at which no admission or charge to play was made for anyone who came, the aim being to bring our people togeth er. The Deanery meeting of both the young men and young ladies of this area will be at Walhalla, S. C., and a large delegation is expected to at tend the Diocesan convention of Catholic Women to participate in the sectional meetings for youth. It is a source of happiness to. see the development of organizations for our women, our men and our yOuth. Separate accounts will be enclosed in this edition which will list their of ficers and list their accomplishments.

IHS EMINENCE Arthur Cardinal Hinsley, Archbishop of Westminster, in a speech delivered in London in augurating The Sword of the Spirit, new organization to intensify Catholic war efforts declared “English people and English statesmen are longing to do justice to Ireland.” The Cardinal asked for prayers for the peace, happiness and prosperity of Ireland. “I am tom to pieces at this moment with anxiety about that tragic country", he went on.

This does not mean uniformity of opinion on all issues of public life. It does not infer the kind of unity enforced in totalitarian countries, w) ere opinions on social, political and economic matters must conform with those promulgated by the ruling powers. It ‘means unity of spirit binding all citizens together in a common devotion to American dem ocratic ideals, and unity of action cn matters of common concern to Americans of all faiths and classes as citizens >f the one democracy. “The freedoms that we cherish in America are threatened by enemies v ithin as dangerous as are any of M0NSIGN0R McNAMARA ISSUES STATEMENT IN SAVANNAH NEWSPAPER Outlines Position of Catholic Church on Eternal Punishment (Special To The Bulletin) SAVANNAH. Ga— In an article appearing in the Savannah Evening Press, some weeks ago, the Right Reverend Monsignor T. James McNa mara, rector of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, made reply to re marks attributed to a local minister in a sermon of the previous 'Sunday, and declared that the statement that SO per cent of the ministers of all de nominations have lost faith in the doctrine of an eternally burning hell certainly could not be made of Cath olic priests. In his statement, which set forth tile Church’s position on the subject. Monsignor McNamara said that To deny the doctrine of an eternally burning hell is in effect to deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ.” "Texts upon text can be cited,” said Monsignor McNamara, “and quota tions upon quotations can be brought forth subtantiating the ever-present belief of Christians in ths doctrine of an-eternally burning hell. From those without. Recent events have Christ through the Apostles and the shown that the Totalitarian States are using a new and insidious weapon of conquest. It is the propagation of lies and suspicion directed against racial or religious groups in the pop ulation, and its victory is the divi sion of national defense by dishonestly tying up those policies with suspected groups. Contradiction, confusion, in decision, panic; these follow as a natural consequence. The result: a nation made impotent in the face of possible attack. Our historic Ameri can faith in the processes of de mocracy is caricatured to appear at once indefensible and undesirable- “We warn the American people against those who, under various guises, are promoting unfounded prejudices against any group or class. Such profesisonal haters are America’s potential traitors. “We call upon Americans of all faiths. in a spirit of humility to under gird the Republic by the vitalization of religion. During this period of world crisis, let us give ourselves : lute,y to the achievement of the brotherhooa of man under the Father hood of God throughout our own lane. This is a goal worthy of any effort- “Particularly we urge Protestants, Catholics and Jews in every Ameri can community lo work together in mutual trust and conference on pro jects of common concern to them as citizens of a free li»»d Finding homes early Christian Fathers down through the centuries has come this doctrine vindicating the justice of God in His dealings with men.” “Truly at the sight of all the base ness, wickedness and godlessness that is committed here on earth, apparent ly with impurity, we must either de spair and deny God’s existence or else we must believe in the incorrup tible justice of God’s judgment. The terrifying effects of that judgment become evident when we reflect on Christ’s suffering for stricken hu manity. He knew hell and its terri fying consequences and to save us against ourselves He suffered as no man ever be called on to suffer. for refugee children, helping the work of the Red Cross, obtaining jobs foe the unemployed, securing better rec reation and health facilities, and com bating the causes of crime—all these are problems which should command the attention of citizens of every faith. They can be solved democrati cally by Joint action on -the part of all Americans and to solve them is the most effective answer democracy can make to totalitarianism”.
