Father Guthbert Speaks
at Meeting of Charlotte
Protestant Ministers
(Special to The Bulletin)
CHARLOTTE, N. C.—The Char-
lotte-Mechlenberg Ministers’ Asso
ciation holding its January meet
ing at the Y. M. C. A., heard
Father Cuthbert Allen, O. S. B.,
of Belmont Abbey, speak on “The
Thomist Revival.”
Father Cuthbert discussed the
scholastic philosophy. of St.
Thomas Aquinas, and said that
the philosophy of the “Angelic
Doctor” was based on facts of
realism by which he arrived at this
conclusion, which he unified in
his great work, “Summa Theolo-
"gias.”
Father Cuthbert said scholastic
philosophy differed from tne
philosophy in vogiie in the last
centuries in Us conclusions which
are largely influenced by the
feelings. The formula of St.
Thomas Aquinas was “Don’t think
as you feel, but feel as you
think.”
All modern problems, such as
capital and labor, socialism, peace,
and even the temperance question
can be solved by the realism of
scholasticism, said Father Cuth
bert. He answered a number of
questions and the members of the
association stood at the conclusion
of his address to express their
appreciation.
A number of other priests were
present at the meeting as guests
of the association.

(N. C. W. C. News Service)
NEW YORK.—“And the great
est of these is charity.”
Striving to carry on its efforts
in this lofty field, the Protestant
Children’s Service, Inc., ever
since last spring, has been trying
to find suitable quarters, to shel
ter homeless, neglected and de
pendent babies given over to its
care. James G. Blaine, who .took
over as head of the organization
at that time, said that at' meet
ings of Protestant groups through
out New York, he had spurred on
the search for quarters and em
phasized the responsibility of
Protestants in caring for the tots
under two years old. It came to a
case of the Protestants being forc
ed to remove the tots from city
hospitals elesewhere.
And now the search is over. It
came to an end the other day
here when Mr. Blaine and Henry
G. Hotchkiss, acting for the Prot
estant group, met with Msgr. Ed
ward R. Gaffney, Chancellor of
the Archdiocese of New York,
and Joseph V. McKee, attorney.
For the nominal consideration
of $1, the Protestant agency ac
quired a lease for quarters which
will fill its needs. The property is
owned and was acquired recently
by the New York Archdiocese
from the Edwin Gould Foundg-
tion. Under terms of the lease, the
Protestant group is given the
use of five administration and
dormitory buildings and a hos
pital on a 20-acre tract. The fa
cilities will provide for some 75
babies and the lease will continue
until March 31, 1948.
A statement expressing the
deep appreciation of the Protes
tant group to His Eminence
Francis Cardinal Spellman, Arch
bishop of New York, for making
the shelter possible, was issued by
Mr. Blaine.
“I wish to convey my sincere
appreciation to Cardinal Spell
man and his Catholic Charities,”
Mr. Blaine said, “for their splen
did cooperation and generosity in
providing the shelter so necessary
at this time. The new buildings
which the Catholic Archdiocese
has been kind enough to lease
will enable us to assume Protes
tant responsibilities for the train
ing and care of babies very soon.
We expect to initiate the new ser
vices at the earliest possible mo
ment.”
In an editorial titled “A Blow
To Bigotry," The New York
World-Telegram noted that at a
“time when bigotry and secta
rianism darken many corners of
the earth.” the generous and hu
mane action of Cardinal Spell
man and the New York Archdio
cese should be viewed with spe
eial satisfaction and pride. The
editorial asserts: “Here is a fine,
heart-warming example of broad
Christian humanity transcending
sectarian lines t 0 care for help
less children. It is also another
reassurnig proof that whenever a
specter of bigotry starts to stalk
in this city it will get short shrift
from Francis Cardinal Spellman.'
