THE GREAT FRIEND: FREDER
ICK OZANAM, by Albert P.
Schimberg, (Bruce), $2.50, the
January selection of the Catho
lic Literary Foundation.
Reviewed by Patrician Regan
,In this fine and stirring story-
biography, Albert Schimberg has
captured the full, rich beauty of
the pureness of heart of Frederick
Ozanam, founder of the Society of
St. Vincent de Paul, from a youth
of eighteen, inspired by a great
faith and possessed of abounding
charity, through a fruitful and of-
times troublesome life.
This book should lend a helping
hand especially to those of us who
falter sometimes through the fog
of doubt. Ozanam himself battled
and prayed devoutly through tor-
njented nights that he be spared,
promised to dedicate himself for
ever to the truth and beauty of
his religion. No more noble ex
pression of his love of God could
be have chosen than to labor for
the cause of the needy and unfor
tunate, not only in a spiritual
sense, but also as a writer, a
professor and a politician.
Active as he was in affairs of
tiie world, and a married man be
sides, it is no surprise to anyone
who journeys through Mr. Schim-
berg’s book, that Frederick Oza
nam, a model of Christian sancti
ty and kindliness, has been nam
ed as a candidate for beatification.
This book was published during
(he centennial of the foundation
of the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul, and makes inspiring read
ing.
SEARCH THROUGH PIRATE’S
ALLEY, by Mildred Houghton
Comfort, (Morrow), $2.00, the
March selection of the Pro Par-
vulis Book Club for girls 10 to
14 years.
Somehow we think that the old
er girls in this age group will en
joy “Search Through Pirate’s Al
ley” more than their younger sis
ters will; also that it will be
equally appealing to boys in then-
early teens.
Pierre and Collette D’Orsay liv
ed in New Orleans about 45
years ago. Their grandfather’s
missing will resulted in mystery
and adventure for them, which
any boy or girl would like to
share . . . for Grandpere D’Or-
say had been a pirate and an in
triguing character.
Added to the action and sus
pense are the delightful color and
excitement of New Orleans . . .
a Plantation Christmas, Epiphany
and King Cakes, Saint Joseph's
Feast, and of course,, Mardi Gras.
There’s a real surprise in the
last chapter too.
“Search Through Pirate’s Al
ley” has just about everything to
recommend it for teen-agers’ li
braries . . . and of course, for
gifts and for lending to the rest
of the “gang” too.
HIS HOLINESS Pope Pius XII
has bestowed his special Aposto
lic Benediction upon Catholic
School children in the United
States and their parents of “the
splendid part" played by them In
the campaign for food for suffer
ing children.

MOUNT VERNON. N. Y.—Re
appointment of Myron C. Taylor
as special envoy to the Vatican
should be urged on President Tru
man by “all thinking and mag
nanimous Christians.” the Rev.
L. L. Twinem declared in a ser
mon at St. Paul’s Protestant
Episcopal Church, Eastchester.
Mr. Twinem, known as an
Anglo-Catholic, said "certain self-
appointed Px-otestant leaders have
undertaken to cut the bond be
tween this nation and the Vatican.
They are putting pressure on the
President by personal calls at his
office and widelv disseminated
propaganda directed to press the
Chief Executive into fear of Pro
testant sentiment and prejudice.
“Myron Taylor is an Episco
palian, a stateman of character,
tact, scholarship and tolerance.
His mission has been indispen
sable to the .welfare of mankind.
Important moves toward armistice
and peace have been furthered by
the bond so wisely established by
President Roosevelt.
“There has been definite indica
tion that Pope Pius desires the re
turn of Mr. Tavlor to his val
uable post. In the interests of
peace, all thinking and magnani
mous Christians should use their
influence by word and letter to
promote this tie of good will and
peace-making.”
