Cferald P. O'Hara. Bishop of Savannah-At lanta. were formulated at an en thusiastic meeting held at the Knights of Columbus Home here on the evening of January 19. The meeting, which was con ducted by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Joseph E. Moylan, rector of the Cathedral of Christ the King, was well attended by members of the clergy and laity, from this city and other places in Georgia. Monsignor Moylan in opening the meeting stressed the impor tance of the conference, explaining its origin and pi/'pose. It was interesting to now, he said, that the conference came into existence some twenty years ago for the sole purpose of disseminating Catholic social teaching on industrial life. He called to mind the great En cyclical of Pope Leo XIII on "The Condition or'Labor”, and said that if the world had listened to the teachings of His Holiness, the con fusion a,ud bloodshed of our day might have been averted. He call ed upon Catholics to spread the sound social doctrine of the En cyclical of Leo XIII and the more recent Encyclical of Pope Pius XI on ‘ Reconstructing the .Social Order”. He said that Catholics have much to contribute to the solution of economic ills and to a right social order, if they accept their responsibility and do their part. Monsignor Moylan called upon ^lliss Linna E. Bresette, the Field Secretary of the Social Action De partment of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, to outline the program. Miss Bresette explained that the program of the Confer ence is built on the highlights of the Encyclicals and that the theme of the Encyclicals running throughout the Conference pro gram. sets it apart from other in dustrial conferences. Miss Bre sette said the Conference will fol low its regular procedure of pre senting problems of vital interest to the country at large, having someone at each session to pre sent the moral principles of Chris tian Charity and Social Justice, which should be applied to their solution. Seated on the ro'jfcvcm with Mon signor Moylan anabuiss Bresette wfere the Very Rev. Willian Loner- gan, S. M., pastor-of the Sacred Heart Church: the Rev. Thomas A.

In the course of his sermon, Bishop Dietz said: “We Catholics can also derive great satisfaction from the words spoken by a non-Christian professor of the Imperial University of Tokyo after his return from a prolonged trip in Europe. He said: ‘The Catholic Church is the most power-, ful and the most perfect supreme organization in human history. The most profound form of Christian ity is the one centered in Rome’.” INTRODUCTION OF THE CAUSE of beatification of Pope Pius X was discussed by the Sacred Congregation of Rites on January 19.

Post-War Cooperation Aim of Federal Council of Churches Resolution (By N. C. W. C. News Service) CLEVELAND—Post-war cooper ation is the subject of the following resolution adopted at the final session of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in Ameri ca at Us meeting held here: “We rejoice in the evidence of growing collaboration between Protestants and Roman Catholics in various countries in problems of reconstruction after war. In coun tries occupied by the Nazis Cath olic and Protestant leaders are co operating in resistance to tyranny and the attempted invasion of spiritual fredom by the State. In Great Britain a joint committee has been created of the Sword of the Spirit movement and of other churches contributory to the Re ligion and Life movement. In this endeavor supported by Cardinal Hinsley. the Archbishop of Canter bury and the moderator of the Free Church council, Protestants and Roman Catholics are pledged to ‘woik together through parallel action in the religious field.’ “In the United States Protestants and Roman Catholics have given much thought and study to the basis of a just and durable peace. Although each group has conduct ed its studies separately there is agreement in thinking on many points. “We record the desire and the readiness of the churches to co operate with the Roman Catholic Church in the United States in the effort for the welfare of society as a whole: and in such ways as may prove possible, bear common testi mony to the guiding principles of the Christian faith in relation to the post war world.” FIVE NUNS, members of the White Sisters of Africa, were kill ed in a German raid on Algiers, when a bomb demolished a home in which the Sisters were looking after the sick, according to word received in Quebec.
