men. One example of the attitude
of the U.S.A. in this matter is
quoted by Dr. Brady from Justice
Reed:
“Attendance at chapel is part
of a cadet’s training; no cadet
will be exempted. Each cadet
will receive religious training in
one of the three principal faiths:
Catholic, Protestant, or Jewish.
Mid-shipmen shall attend church
services on Sundays at the Naval
Academy Chapel or at one of the
regularly established churches in
the city of Annapolis. Daily, ex
cept on Sundays, a Chaplain will
conduct prayers in the messhall,
immediately before breakfast.”
How, in the face of these facts
and notwithstanding its decision
in the New Jersey bus case, the
Supreme Court could have up
held a professedly atheistic ob
jection to the use of public school
rooms by teachers of any form of
religion, is beyond the power of
the non-Iegal mind to grasp.
Pi’ofessor Bradly has done a
great service in exposing the er
ratic argumentations of a court in
whose competence we would like
to continue to believe.
Of 40 English translations of
Adeste Fideles, the most popular
is that by an Oxford student,
Frederick Oakley, who came un
der the influence of Newman and
Faber. Eventually, he too became
a Catholic.
GERMAN SPECIALIST EXAMINES
CARDINAL STEPINAC, FINDS HIS
CONDITION "RELATIVELY GOOD"
(N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE)
FREIBURG, Germany, — The
physical condition of His Emi
nence Aloisius Cardinal Stepinac
is relatively good at present, but
the nature of his disease requires
continuous careful medical :**per-
vision.
This was stated by Prof. Lud
wig Heilmeyer, director of Frei
burg University clinic, after his
return from Yugoslavia where he
examined the Cardinal in his na
tive village of Krasic. Dr. Heil
meyer is an internationally
known hematologist—a -specialist
in the treatment of blood diseases.
The German specialist had last
examined Cardinal Stepinac in
October, 1953, a few months after
two American specialists, Dr.
John H. Lawrence, University of
California authority on radio
active therapy, and Dr. John F.
Ruzic, Chicago surgeon, had
found the Cardinal to be suffer
ing from “a severe form” of poly
cythemia. This disease, which is
marked by an abnormal increase
of the red blood' cells, can have
fatal consequences unless check
ed. .
Professor Heilmeyer’s ‘ new visit
to the Cardinal followed reports
from the local doctors treating the
Cardinal that his blood condition
had recently deteriorated. The
German doctor said that there
has been a slight increase in the
number of red corpuscles, but
that apart from this the examina
tion of the Cardinal produced a
relatively good medical picture.
The internal organs have not yet
been afflicted by the disease,
Professor Heilmeyer said, and the
condition of the circulatory sys
tem was found to be better than
last year.
In view of this, the German
specialist decided that, for the
time being, there should be no
further treatment of the Cardinal
with radio-active phosphorus.
Professor Heilmeyer said that
methods of continued treatment
of Cardinal Stepinac had been ar
ranged with his own doctors) He
stressed the need of a regular
medical check of the condition of
the Cardinal’s blood in order to
take effective measures if they
should become necessary.

YOU CAN WIN CONVERTS
A Mother's Example
By REV. JOHN A. O'BRIEN
Marian Michinzi.
high school freshman of Quin-
wood, West Virginia, holds, I
believe, the record among the
teen-agers of America for win
ning souls. I learned about her
amazing feat while speaking to
the Wheeling
diocese on the:
importance of
enlisting our
children, in the
upper grades
and in high
school, in Chris
tian faith with
churchles sM
friends and
neighbors.
Knowing that a few examples
(University of Notre Dame)—
a 15-year-old i its conclusion
they and twelve
of our own children were baptiz
ed. The others had been baptized
in infancy but had never received
any training. It was a flock of
about forty-five children that I
was privileged to bring to the
mission church to receive their
First Holy Communion.
“That was probably the happi
est day in my life, as I’m sure
it was in theirs too. The next
summer Father Hamlin brought
the Sisters of St. Joseph to, our
home to teach catechism and, in
the fall, all the children were
confirmed.”
“Did you lead any others into
the fold?” I asked.
“Later on. in high school, I
would be more enlightening than: interested Charlotte Folks George
mere abstract discussion, I ask
ed the Sisters, if they could cite
any instances of such activity on
the part of their pupils.
“Marian Michinzi,” said Sister
Mary Immaculate of St. Joseph
Academy in Wheeling, “has won
m the faith, explained it to her
over a year, and she is today a
devout Catholic.”
“Marian,” I remarked, ”1 can
see why Sister Mary Immaculate
hailed you as the champion teen-
a whole flock of children and has • a ge winner of souls in West Vir-
been largely instrumental in re-; gin j a . it’s an inspiring record-
claiming about sixteen fallen-' converts, forty-three chi!-
away parents. Indeed, she resus- . ,
citated the faith of a whole min- ^ ren anc ^ sixteen paien s re i ^
ing community. We Sisters were I ed. Indeed, you are responsi e
called upon to continue the re- | for reviving the faith in all the
markable' missionary work Ma- ] Q a tholics in Quinwood, with the
rian got started.” i exception of the D.erenges. You
I learned that Marian is now; . . ' • , A arnnn .
T , . , have given an eloquent demon
Mrs. Korczowski, a dietician at u °
stration of what teen-agers can
Walter Reed Hospital in Wash
ington and a member of Blessed
Sacrament parish in Arlington,
Virginia. Here is her story.
“Our family lived in Quin
wood,” she said, “a little moun
tain town in a coal-mining region
of West Virginia. I was one of
eight children. My parents came
from Italy and my father work
ed in the coal mines. Several oth
er families of Italian extraction
lived in that mining town and,
like our own family, had drifted
away from the practice of the
faith.
“The nearest church was 20
miles away, at Meadow Bluff,
where Mass was said only once
a month. Only one family from
Quinwood went to the monthly
Mass. That was the William De-
renge family, and they went be
cause of the saintliness of the
mother and because they were
the only family with a car.
“The sight of that family of
nine driving off in their truck
to the monthly service made a
deep impression on me and I ask
ed Mrs. Derenge if I could go
along some Sunday. She was de
lighted to have me come. So I
crowded into the truck and at
fifteen years of age attended my
first Mass.
“The pastor, Father Charles E.
Hamlin, announced that a week’s
Mission was soon to be conducted
at our little chapel. I went with
the Dereriges to those services
too. At the conclusion of that Mis
sion, Mrs. Derenge suggested that
we get the children of, our little
town together for a catechism
class.
“My job was to round them up.
I got forty-three to come. At
this crucial moment in our joint
venture, Mrs. Derenge was taken
sick and died. So I brought the
flock to our home and started to
teach them the catechism.
“I had had no instruction my
self, so I had to study each les
son carefully the day before. In
addition to the catechism, I
taught them their prayers and I
picked out notes, one by one, on
an old piano and drilled them in
Catholic hymns. This Went on all
winter.
“Two non-Catholic children had
been attending our class and at
do in winning souls, when they
really try.”
