Sign of the Cross Proves
‘Open Sesame’ for Navy
Chaplain in Japan
By LIEUT DIGGORY VENN,
U. S. M. C.
(N. C. W. C. News eSrvice)
SASEBO, Japan -—(Delayed)—
The Sign of the Cross saved Father
Thomas M. Reddington, Navy
chaplain from an unpleasant situa
tion here and saw him safely to his
destination.
With the Eighth Service Regi-.
ment, the Rochester priest was on
his_ way to visit the local Japanese
pastor shortly after the peaceful
Marine occupation. Soon he was
in a narrow street near the church,
surrounded by Japanese.
“Maybe It was my imagination,”
he said, “but they looked anything
but friendly. Of course I carried
nq arms, and I was alone.”
After trying to make someone
understand him, Father Redding
ton made the Sign of the Cross.
Immediately the Japanese started
smiling. One bowed low and in
dicated that he would lead the way
to the Church.
"He took me into the parish
house via a window,” Chaplain
Reddington said, “but we got there
all right.”
He was welcomed by the Jap
anese priest, Father Mathias of
Sacred Heart Church. The two
conversed in Latin. Later another
Marine arrived who matched
Father Mathias’ French. Then the
interview was carried out in
French, English and Latin.
Father Mathias said the people
were glad the war had ended. He
insisted upon presenting Father
Reddington with a gift as concrete
evidence of his own feelings to
wards the Marines.
In the Japanese church, Father
Reddington learned, women wore
long white veils, which cover their
heads and trail on the grounds. As
in all Japanese buildings, the con
gregation removes its shoes before
entering. The shoes are neatly
piled in the entrance way. First
come rows of the wooden shoes
(getas) and then behind them the
split-toed shoes.
Many Marines attended Mass in
the Japanese church on their first
Sunday here, since not all the oc
cupation units had been able to
arrange their own chapels. Father
Reddington joined the Navy last
April. He is a graduate of St.
Benard’s Seminary, Rochester, and
formerly was assistant pastor of
St. Alphonsus Church in Auburn,
N. Y.
