Iteverend Bishop’s 25th anniver
sary; to Father Toomey’s appeal
for a church at Irvinton; and to

Mothers’ Club in Atlanta
Holds Interesting Meeting
(Special to The Bulletin)
ATLANTA, Ga. — An interest
ing meeting of the Mothers’ Club
of the Sacred Heart School was
held on March 6. at which the
Rev. Vincent Brennan, S. M., de
livered an instructive talk on’“The
Different Phases of the Child; in
School, in Home, and Its Social
Background.”
Father Brennan -expressed the
fact that the real idea of Catholic
Education was outlined in tiie
Encyclicals of Pope Pius XI. He
explained how the ages from four
teen to twenty-one were the "won
derland of life,” and stated that the
present generation, as a whole, is
found to be a wholesome group of
young people, and that there is no
all sweeping rule to clear a parti
cular difficulty, but that each
child should be considered indi
vidually. He told the mothers that
they should treat their children
with understanding and inspire in
them respect for and obedience to
their teachers, the Sisters who be
came teachers, not for monetary
gain, but to prepare children to be
citizens of the City of God.
Mrs. Robert F. Henry, president
of the club, conducted the meeting,
which was opened with prayer by
the Very Rev. Edward McGrath,
■S. M., pastor of the Sacred Heart
Church.

of Christ the King was so lovely
and white and cool, even to the
cassock of the priest and the coat
of his dog. More often than not,
the white an Indian wears is not
white at all. and as for the color
and quality of the so-called white
cows and dogs, the less said the
better.
"All I can say is that one can
pray better in comfortable sur
roundings, and 1 am glad the
church is so near. Half the world
apart—we are together in spirit.
1 guess seeing the bull terrier has
made me homesick, but the work
is wonderful and I would not have
missed being chosen to do it for
the world! Park Circus here is
lops—and the boys love it.”
Miss Jones graduated from the
Sacred Heart School, Newton,
Mass., and received her B. A. de
gree at Marygrove College, De
troit, later doing post-graduate
study at the Catholic University
of America, in Washington, where
fhe majored in drama and speech.
