Non-Catholic Author Calls
Proselytizing “Hurdle” to
Good Neighbor Policy
MILWAUKEE,— The the pro 1
selytizing activities of Protestant
missionaries in Mexico. South and
Central America are the “supreme
hurdle - ’ in the good-neighbor pol
icy of the United States is the
contention of John W. White, news
paper correspondent in his new
book, “Our Good Neighbor Hur
dle," which was published today by
the Bruce Publishing Company.
The book represents the author’s
findings in more than a quarter of
a century of traveling for Ameri
can daily newspapers in the Latin
American countries. He is a non-
Catholic.
Mr. White has observed in his
many years of close contact with
the predominantly Catholic peo
ples of these countries that a chief
cause of resentment and suspicion
on their part toward the United
States is the attempt of Protestant
missionaries to “bring Christiani
ty” to civilizations whose religion
and culture are much older than
their own.
The book is addressed primarily
“to the millions of intelligent,
thinking Protestants in the United
States ’ who. the author believes,
“will agree that it is much more
important that the Southern Am
ericans be friends of the United
States of America than that they
bc communicants of any particular
religious sect.”

DUBLIN, Ga. — The Rev. Nicho
las J. Frizelle, pastor of the Im
maculate Conception Church, was
honored recently at an informal
receptioli, tendered by members of
the parish, at the home of Air. and
Airs. Charles Ludwig, on Park
Place. The occasion was the cele
bration of Father Frizelle’s birth
day.
Summer flowers adorned the
spacious Ludwig home. In the
dinning room, where earlier in the
evening Mr. and Airs. Ludwig and
Miss Louise Ludwig had entertain
ed Father Frizelle at a dinner
party, the lace-covered table was
centered by a birthday cake, which
was distributed to the guests with
other refreshments.
Those attending were Air. and
Airs. W. P. Roche, Patrick Roche,
Jr., Aliss Millie Roche, Ed Roche.

A century ago when transcen
dentalism was rife and the Oxford
Movement with Newman’s Tracts
was in progress, there was wide
spread study by non-Catholie intel
lectuals of the Roman Church.
These studies had for their im
mediate object to find a justifica
tion for their own beliefs. . .that
they were right, the Roman Church
wrong. Those who were truly open
minded and genuine seekers of the
truth studied themselves into the
Church and became some of its
staunchest supporters in writings
and were exemplary in the practice
of the new faith they acquired.
With Newman, Brownson and
others there was Isaac Thomas
Hecker, whose life Katherine Bur
ton, herself a convert, portrays in
“Celestial Homespun”, (Longmans,
Green & Co., N. Y. $3.00). Isaac
was constantly seeking . . . seek
ing for truth and the peace of soul
that comes with it. No more suit
able name could have been given
him than that which his colleagues
used in speaking of him, “Isaac the
seeker”, and this spirit of search
ing is never lost sight of Jn the
book. Emerson, Thoreau, ~Alcott
and Brownson v/ere some of his
intimates. All were likewise ‘seek
ing’, but Brownson and Hecker
succeeded in finding truth and
peace of soul. Isaac became a Red-
emptorist father, but later, with
a small group, separated from that
order to found the Society of St.
Paul the Apostle, more commonly
known as the Paulists. Once a
Catholic, his greatest zeal was to
make all America Catholic. A big
job, of course, and yet to be realiz
ed. He founded the publication
“The Catholic World” to this day
a notable Catholic publication.
The biography is unusually writ
ten. It is full of inspiration and
holds the reader's interest exceed-
ngly well. Its success is more than
likely due to the joy of being a
Catholic still deep in the author s
soul, and a better understanding
of a non-Catholic’s experiences in
finding his way to the Church.

PROGRAM IN SAVANNAH
AUGUSTA. Ga.—Now in its
seventh year of presentation, the

NEW CHAPLAIN AT
FORT OGLETHORPE
A splendid Student’s Edition ot
the revised New Testament gotten
out by the Confraternity of Christ
ian Doctrine caff now be obtained
from St. Anthony Guild Press for
one dollar. It comes during the
year when the Church is celebrat
ing the fiftieth anniversai-y of Pope
Leos XIII .s Encyclical “On The
Study of Sacred Scripture”.
Though the accusation that Catho
lics ai-e forbidden to read the Bible
is false, an accusation that they
do not x'ead it enough would be
quite true. One reason, perhaps,
for tlie neglect in reading the old
edition was the archaic English
used and the appearence of the
vei'ses, bi'oken as they were from
each other by the customary divis
ions. But the new edition would
lend itself to no such excuse. Com
pare it with the old and one will
find more beauty in appearance
and will receive more pleasure in
reading. Except for the numbers in
the margin designating the verses,
and the titles to the chapters, the
appearance of the text is like that
of any ordinary book.
