BOOK REVIEWS
(Continued from Page 22)
her aunt at a vacation spot on
the Canadian Bay of Fundy. Eli
nor, an only child, meets other
young people who have varying
problems and ambitions. Her own
career is undecided, but before
the summer is over she has dis
covered where her chief gifts and
attractions lie, and has also dis
covered the joy and satisfaction
of being helpful to others whose
problems are different from her
own. In discussing future plans
with young friends, Elinor realiz
es that “any work (is) God’s
work, if we do it as well as we
can, the way He’d want us to do
it.”
COLONIAL GOVERNOR, by
J. E. Hopkins, (Kenedy, $2.50).
This is the life of Thomas Don-
gan, first Catholic governor of
New York. Colonel Dongan’s ar
rival from England in 1638 as
the Duke of York’s new governor
brought guarantees of the right
of assembly and lawmaking to
the early citizens of the rude set
tlement of New York. Dongan
was faced with challenges from
within and without the colony,
the Indians of the Five Nations,
the French, the plotters who hat
ed him because of his religion,
and finally the revoking of the
rights given the colony when
King James ascended the British
throne Dongan’s fight to over
come these obstacles and to bring,
peace and liberty to the first cit
izens of New York is typical of
the struggles and upheavals that
accompanied the establishment of
the first frontiers of our country.
SONG OF THE DOVE, by
Mary Fidelis Todd, (Kenedy,
$2.95). The story of St. Catherine
Laboure, to whom Our Lady
gave the Miraculous Medal, is
here told for children, ages 9-14.
Miss Todd also illustrated her
book with drawings. She tells the
story of the little French peasant
girl, Zoe Laboure, who became
Sister Catherine when she en
tered the Order of the Daughters
of Charity. Happily, a large por
tion of the story is concerned
with her childhood and home life.
One of Sister Catherine’s greatest
attractions is her humility in
keeping secret the fact that it
was she to whom Our Lady had
appeared. No one ever guessed
this until just before her death
she was permitted to reveal it to
her community; only her con
fessor had known of the visions
and he had carried out Our
Lady’s instructions in having the
medal made and distributed. Miss
Todds’ story is charmingly told.
THE CATHOLIC PUZZLE
AND QUIZ BOOK, by Damien
Anthony Wenzel, O.F.M., (St.
Anthony Guild, $1.00), reviewed
by Peggy Lloyd. This little book
can be priceless as far as Cath
olic information and recreation
are concerned Children from 10
to 15 will be enchanted by the
numerous puzzles, quizzes, pic
tures, and games, all of which
have one aim, to instruct the
child in, his religion in a pleasant
manner. Identifying the priest’s
vestments, filling in religious
quotations, and identifying
Catholic men in history are just
a few of the things which will
keep the child profitably occu
pied.
THREE BOOKLETS
The following three recently
published booklets, on widely
divergent subjects, are worth
while, each in its own field:
CARME LITE DEVOTIONS-
and prayers for special feasts of
the liturgical year, compiled by
a Carmelite Tertiary, printed by
the Discalced Carmelite Nuns,
4802 West Wells Street, Milwau
kee 8, Wisconsin, price $1.50. A
neat, compact, prayerbook-size
volume of particular interest to
Carmelite tertiaries and ail others
who are attracted to the spirit
and the saints of Carmel, includ
ing of course the two Teresas, St.
John of the Cross and others.
The compiler has brought to
gether previously published ma
terial from many sources. Follow
ing the selected prayers and de
votions are instructive sections
on meditation, contemplation, the.
Third Order of Mount Carmel,
etc., and finally a useful index of
the material included.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIXED
MARRIAGES, by Rev. John S.
Banahan, (Bruce, $1.00), a help
ful, paper-covered booklet which
can be given to the non-Catholic
partner in a mixed marriage, to
help him or her understand the
religion of the other partner. The
author promises that the “book
is not any subtle attempt to
make you become Catholic,
only to increase your
chances for martial hap
piness, to make sure that re
ligion will not be a fly in the
ointment. . It is dedicated “to
the multitude of fine and gene
rous men and women not of the
Catholic Faith who have listened
to these talks during the past
eight years,” during which the
author has worked in the ca
thedral parish of the Archdiocese
of Chicago and “encountered
mixed marriages by the hun
dreds.” It is illustrated with hu
morous drawings and occasional
anecdotes; yet covers seriously
the principal points of Catholic
doctrine; complete with review
questions, prayers, hymns and
index.
POPE PIUS XII AND THEO
LOGICAL STUDIES, edited by
Vincent A. Yzermans, (Grail,
50c), contains translations of six
papal documents which should be
of particular concern to semina
rians: “The Christian Conscience
as an Object of Education,” . “The
Faith and Catholic Youth,” “The
Teaching Authority of the
Church,” “The Church and Its
Powers of Sanctifying and Rul
ing,” “Clerical Studies,” and the
encyclical “Humani Generis” —
also an introduction and an arti
cle by Father Yzermans on “Pope
Pius XII and Theological Novel
ty.” Although the “booklet is in
tended primarily for those who
are presently preparing to share
in the Priesthood of Christ,” ev
ery serious student of the prob
lems which “weigh so heavily
upon the mind of our Holy Fath
er” will find it interesting and in
structive. Unfortunately poor
proof-reading has resulted in too
many typographical errors.
FICTION
THE STRANGERS WERE
THERE, by John Bell Clayton,
(Macmillian, $3.75)
This is an impessive collec
tion of stories by the late John
Bell Clayton. According to in
formation on the jacket, the sto
ries “Display a lively versatility
in subject, mood, and treat
ment. . . .” but this seems to be
the case only in subject. Mr.
Clayton was a newspaperman
and his stories cover a wide
range of life though the setting
for all of them is a small Virginia
town and its environs. The sto
ries are unified by this setting
but also by the tone, which is
subdued and elegiac even when
the matter at hand is violent. The
writing is always honest and
sometimes, as in 1 “The White Cir
cle,”; it is exciting.—F. O’Connor.
During vacation days some
people stop trying to balance the
budget and begin budgeting the
balance.

worth a dozen tomorrows.
