Father Edwin V. Sullivan, sociology professor at Seton Hall University, spoke at a symposium sponsored by the Guild of St. Joseph the Work er and the Catholic Family Apostolate of the Newark arch diocese at Sacred Heart school auditorium. Archbishop Thomas A. Bo land, of Newark, the keynote speaker, said the encyclical’s message was that "peace must come from the individual and his peace with God, peace with his neighbor and finally peace r with his government. Peace must be rooted in the order of God implanted in the hearts of men," he said. To this purpose, he said, the Holy Father has set for himself the task of speaking to the modern mind with age- old principles made pertinent to a modern setting. "Whether or not we are post modern men in a post-Chris tian era is an exercise of the imagination,” he said. "We, the Mystical Body of Christ, are alive now, in the present day, and must analyze our so cial setting to make that Body operative in the future.” "The Pope points out,” Fa ther Sullivan said, "that the individual’s right to life means his right to security, to the means to substain life. He has a right to culture, education and training. In our own so ciety, a minority is deprived of this right. Men have the right to emigrate and to immigrate —consider our immigration CHAPLAIN- (Continued from Page 1) in Warner Robins, A reception honoring Col. Mayer was held in the social hall of Sacred Heart Church from 4-6 p.m. , May 30th. In the receiving line were Rev. Robert Brennan, pastor, Mrs. Pearl Hayes, Father Mayer’s sister, Father Mayer, and presidents of the organizations of Sacred Heart Parish. “ V NEW & USED mcmillan motor co. 934 Fourth Ave. Columbus FA 2-5400 laws and residential segrega tion.” Discussing forms of gov- 1 * ernment, Father Sullivan said the Pope decalred that it’s not possible to determine what is the most suitable form of gov ernment. But, the sociologist added, the Pontiff "quite clear ly backs the threefold dividsion of authority—executive, judi cial and legislative—with which we are so familiar.” The final two sections of the encyclical have been the cause of most misunder standing, he said, because of selective interpretation. "The Pope,” he said, “fa vors the end of the armament race, but not on a unilateral basis. He speaks of an eventual effective method of control.” Regarding the world com munity, Father Sullivan said, * 'the encyclical says that a new structure is needed—the present system is no longer adequate. The Pope hopes that the UN will be strengthened, that there will be a form of pub lic authority to operate effec tively on a world-wide basis. "He gives his endorsement to the principle of subsidiary —that each level of govern ment should perform those functions it is best suited by nature to perform—and says that everyone should take part in government, but those in pow er should be trained and tech nically capable for their res ponsibilities.” Perhaps the greatest contro versy has arisen in that part of the encyclical where the Pop e says that a distinction must be made between false philosophies and the historical movements derived from them, Father Sullivan said. "Does the encyclical sig nify a change of policy between the Vatican and the Kremlin?” he asked, and then answered: "We need not panic. The doc trine of the encyclical and Marxism are diametrically op posed. "Decisions of maneuverabil ity with the historical move ment, states Pope John, are to be made in the light of the natur al law, the Church’s social teaching, by those in the proper specialized positions to decide, under the guidance of the virtue of prudence," Father Sullivan said. U. S. Efforts— (Continued from Page 1) "severely wound" Catholic schooling. "We have as strong a desire to maintain high educational standards as anyone, but we honestly believe that we will not be able to effectively up grade our standards, and, at the same time, expand our faci lities if more money is spent on public education with no benefits to our students. „ "It is entirely possible that in such an event we may be priced out of educational ef fectiveness." He said that even today Ca tholic schools do not accom modate "well over half" of the Catholic school-age chil dren. "Large numbers have been turned away during the past several years because facilities were not available. The recent announcement of the Arch diocese of St. Louis could be a sign of things to come,” he said. The St. Louis See has stop ped expansion of its school system and expects to turn more than an estimated 10,000 children to public schools in the next five years. It blames lack of funds and lack of tea chers. Msgr. Hochwalt said the sa ving to taxpayers by Catholic schools is "enormous.” He commented that “the $2.5 bil lion Catholic schools save tax payers is, in effect, a sub sidization of local public schools by our system.” If public school systems had to hire teachers for the chil dren now in Catholic schools, he said, the cost would be at least $929,018,722. If the entire Catholic system were to be duplicated, he added, it would mean building at least 12,968 schools. “It would mean providing another 178,985 classrooms,” he said. “The National Education Association recommends 50 professionals for every 1,000 pupils. In terms of the present Catholic school population, 269, 150 people would have to be hired and paid for by local, state and Federal taxation,” he said. Msgr. Hochwalt admitted that Federal aid for education in church-related schools is not an easy problem to solve. "Many questions have been raised,” he noted. "We hope these questions will be probed deeply, charitably and with the best interests of the country at heart. We feel that a solu tion to most of the problems raised can be found which will be satisfactory.’’ PONTIFFS- (Continued from Page 1) could be a benign growth. The Vatican communique said that Cardinal Cicognani, the Pope’s secretary of state, told the pontiff Tuesday morning that the whole world was pray ing for fyim. Pope John’s reply asked that such prayers be of fered for this intention: “If God wants the sacrifice of the Pope’s life, may it help win copius blessings for the Ecu menical Council, for the Holy Church, for mankind which as pires to peace." The Pope was quoted as say ing, “If, on the contrary, it pleases God to prolong this pontifical service, may this help to sanctify the soul to the Pope and of all who are working with him to spread the reign or Our Lord. . .” The Vatican bullegin said that as of Tuesday, the Pope’s in ternal bleeding had been reduc ed. It said also that he listen ed as Mass was offered in the room next to his bedroom Tues day morning, and recieved Holy Communion. The Tuesday statement, pub lished in L’Osservatore Ro mano, followed by one day an announcement that Pope John’s health was showing improve ment. QUESTION BOX (Continued from Page 4) origin: * ‘No prophecy of Scrip ture is made by private inter pretation. For not by will of man was prophecy brought at any time; but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." THE OLD TESTAMENT is replete with implicit referen ces to the fact of its inspira tion. Examples: the prophets spoke in the name of God, pre dicted future events in God’s name, which events were ful filled; wrote down some of their words in accordance with God’s commands. The New Testa ment contains similar allusions to its own inspiration (i.e., such phases as "according to the wisdom given him;” II St. Peter III, 14-16). FROM TRADITION, it is cer tain beyond doubt that the Bible was written by God. Thus, the Fathers constantly refer to it as "inspired by God,” or as “con taining indisputable truth.” Too, SS. Cyril of Jerusalem and Gregory the Great maintain that God is the Author of the Bible, and SS. Irenaeus, Jerome, John Chrysostom and Augustine wrote that God "dictated” the Bible and "spoke" to us through it. THE DOCTRINE of the divine inspiration of Scriptures was formulated by the Church as early as the fourth and fifth centuries, when the first sig nificant denials of it were being widely proposed.

JENCKS (Continued from Page 4) a park for the right to vote have been jailed for disorderly con duct in Birmingham but in the sweet name of springtime and youth, college students are ex cused with small scoldings. The Hungarian revolt was spark ed by college students who gave their lives in an event the world has called "foolhards." It was also a majority of students who set off the "Easter Rising" which eventually gave freedom to the Irish nation and men like Kevin Barry died before the firing squad. College students have written brave chapters in world history—and frivolous ones are being enacted here. * * * A LETTER to Notre Dame students written by Father Hes- burgh, president of the Univer sity, has recently come to my desk. It would be worth read ing in full by all the capri cious ivy-leaguers who parti cipated in the recent campus riots. Notre Dame has this year suffered several student insur- ections and it is for this reason that Father Hesburgh wrote to each student. Here are just a few of the many fine things this exceptional Holy Cross priest said to his students: "We hope that Notre Dame will be with us as a unique institution of education for these thousand tomorrows. Discip line, which I assume none of us like, is and will be part of the education at Notre Dame during these tomorrows. So will values and standards. Two years ago, fifteen pages of rules and reg ulations were reduced to one page of seven or eight essen tial rules. This leaves at least some basic discipline to gripe about. Beyond the normal grip ing, if anyone seriously believes that he cannot become well edu cated here without a car, or girls in his rooms, or if one really thinks that his personal freedom is impossibly re stricted by curfew, or State laws on, drinking, or the pres ence of priests in the residence halls, then I think the only hon est reaction is to get free of Notre Dame, not to expect Notre Dame to lose its unique charac ter and become just another school with just another quality of graduates." "I am equally ready to admit that we of the faculty and ad ministration can learn some valuable lessons from students as we walk this road together. Nonetheless, your primary role as students here is to learn, not to teach. Students who think otherwise should go out, found their own universities, and then take lessons from their stu dents." "I have often been reminded this past winter of the young student wh found Christianity inadequate and decided to found his own new and better relig ion. He asked a wise old theol ogian for advice on how to get started. The old scholar, with a twinkle in his eye, said: ’I'd suggest that you arrange to get yourself crucified, and then rise from the dead on the third day. ’ ’’ MOTOR HOTEL • TV * AIR CONDITIONIN* • FAMOUS MIAMI »UFFBT • ics a nevERAse station® • COFFEE MAKER, EACH ROOM L.JCKI r .

The Holy Father’s Mission Aid for the Oriental Church INDIA: A CHAPEL FOR THE KING OF HEARTS In the early days of America, the English King was toasted “under the rose.’ v Some Tory-minded Americans continued to do so even after the Revolution. The month of June reminds us of roses and the King of Kings for this is the month of Christ’s Sacred Heart.

In India in the archdiocese of Changanacherry, seven Sisters of the Sacred Heart are trying bravely to extend this kingdom with few re sources. They teach the children. They have only a small house, built with borrowed funds. There is no place for the Blessed Sacrament, no quiet place for prayer. They ask our generous help and the Archbishop adds his plea. $3,000 will build them a suitable convent and chapel. Will you help? This would make a lovely gift to set before a King—especially in this month of roses and the Sacred Heart. Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed Droops on the little hands little gold head. Hush !
