DECEMBER 25, 1954. THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA FIVE 51 lU'Suni (Continued from Page Four) 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.

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.

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.” w*«*»ee«*^^***^*' e * <s * !e ? | | I Current Dividend | 3% Per Annum Savings Received by the 10th Earn Dividends for That Month Tri-City Federal Savings & Loan Association 3441 Stewart Ave. Hapeville FA. 1574 tgtgtOBHKiseeeK M - s ¥ if M 1 r HUNK'S DINING ROOM Superb Cuisine — Excellent Service ¥ f¥ ¥ ■¥ w s ¥ w ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ I GRADE "A" STEAKS fjj Cooked To Your Order §fChops • Chicken • Sea Foodsjf ^ Slenderello Salads_* Home g Made Pies and Pastries And with the Accent on | Appetitie We Suggest One of “ MANNING'S SPECIALTIES 986 Peachtree St. (At 10th) g ¥ ¥ ¥ m— Open Daily and Sunday - 11 A.
