T WRITERS AND READERS EDITED BY LEO J. ZUBER 2332 Norih Decalur Rd. Decatur, Georgia THE PENGUIN DICTIONARY OF QUOTATIONS, by J. M- AND M. J. Cohen, Penguin Books, 1960, 664 pp., $2.50. "Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.” Now who in the world said or wrote that? Human mindedness has a nag ging way of producing for us and at the oddest moments some memorable quotes or, more often, scraps or fragments of phrases; and they do itch. But you don’t scratch; you reach for your well-thumbed vol ume of quotations and have a pleasant search, what with the inevitable and delightful by passes you travel, while hunting down your prey. The quotables in this volume, irrespective of their subject, appear under »their author’s name, a luxurious relief from the more commonplace arrangement of pages on "apples,” "melancholy,” and on "zeal.” This device also allows one the fun of seeing which of his favorite authors' quotables these compilers have chosen; this allows for a con siderable measure of quarrel and complaint, all by way of getting more • than your money’s worth. The quotes portion of this dictionary (430 pages) has a ■ companion index (231 pages) which guides one from that nag ging word or scrap of phrase to its full-blown self and source. Anyway, if your curiosity is pi qued by the "Fear has many eyes” quote, the index is your place of refuge. And many hours of happy browsing to you! The re wards are succulent. (LJZ) THE LOVE OF LEARNING AND THE DESIRE FOR GOD, by Jean Leclercq, O.S.B., translated by Catharine Mis- rahi, New American Library, 1962, 336 pp. 75£. Reviewed by W. L. Schmidt. The title of this work will not cause a rush to the book store. Its readers will be selective. They will, first of all, be at tracted to it by the name of the author who has distinguished himself as a writer on the order of Arquilliere and Gilson under whom he studied. And, though readers will be selective, they should not be specialists, for these lectures on learning and the desire for God as exhibited during the years A.D. 800 and 1200 are of a general nature, and are meant more as an entice ment to further studies. The manner in which Le clercq writes about monastic life during the middle ages bearing a twofold impact on the lives of the people, the one historical, the other spiritual, the one objective, the other subjective, wets the appetite of the reader for more knowledge of the period. When he narrates how monasticism kept alive hopes and achievements attri butable to no other period of history and diffused a light that the whole of Christian living could not escape, he imparts an understanding of the milieu of that civilization that is, no doubt, peripheral, but does not leave the reader without a great deal of satisfaction in the know ledge. Leclercq concludes with an interesting epilogue on Litera ture and the Mystical Life of the middle ages, and follows this in turn with an appendix, 14 pages of bibliography and source material, and 40 pages of notes t;o passages in the ten chapters.:- Thus the reader, should he be enticed to further studies, will have at his finger tips copious material from which to choose a further begin ning. Encyclical Letters of Pope Pius XII on THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST (MYSTICI CORPORIS) and THE SACRED LITURGY (MEDIATOR DEI), each 80 pp., 25£, 1960, St. Paul Editions. Reviewed by W. L. Schmidt. Perhaps no two encyclicals, read in conjunction with each other, have so much to offer for the benefit of the individual and the totality of the Church as do these. Whereas one expounds on the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Church, and delves into its organic structure and meaning, the other examines the sacred Liturgy of the Church, which is the means by which Christ’s own priestly mission is prolonged on earth. Briefly, the Liturgy is the Church’s manner of worship, interior as well as exterior, through the sacraments and sacramentals, and the Divine Office. It is, as Pope Pius XII himself says, ". . .the public worship which our Redeemer as Head of the Church renders to the Father as well as the worship which the community of the faithful ren ders to its Founder, and through Him to the Heavenly Father. It is. . .the worship rendered by the Mystical Body of Christ in the entirety of its Head and members.” Therein lies the tie between these two encycli cals and their significance. Every serious Catholic, in these days of Church revivification, will gain much for himself as a cell, and for the Mystical Body as a complete organism, by becoming thoroughly fami liar with these two great ency clicals. BLITHE SPIRITS, edited by Dan Herr and Joel Wells, Doubleday, 1962, 220pp., $3.95. Reviewed by Sister M Harriet, O.P BLITHE SPIRITS is infect ious reading. It tickles and sparkles, upsets dour moods, and provokes lightsome laugh ter. Be it morning, midday, or the evening fireside, you may count on it to elicit chuckles from the solitary reader and to compound them in any company of friends. Editors Herr and Wells strike up with bubbling wit and pro ceed to serve course after course of heady fare. Twenty- five hits for the funny bone make this an hilarious parade of "bandaged children of Eve.” In company with Jean Kerr, J.F. Powers, and Frank O’Con nor these pilgrims of the pen point up many a human foible in the community of the faith ful.

Gerald Edward Matheis, of Rochester, N.Y., and Fort Gordon, Friday, June 7th, with Reverend Ralph E. Seikel officiating. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Nathaniel Sacles, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Joseph Matheis of Rochester, N. Y. Choices by the last 15 pon tiffs indicate that it prob ably will be Benedict, Clem ent, Gregory, John, Leo or Pius. No other names have been taken by popes for more than 200 years. Seven of the 12 popes since 1775 have been named Pius. But Pope John was the first pontiff to use that name in more than six centuries. Although known as John XXIII, he was only the 21st legitimate pope of that name. The fact that there have been popes known by numerals higher than the num ber of pontiffs who have borne a given name is due mainly to the fact that some of the 37 antipopes—false claimants to the papacy—have taken the same name. Of the 260 popes since St. Peter listed in the 1963 of ficial m Pontifical Yearbook, more than half have been known by one of a dozen names: In nocent, Stephen, Boniface, Ur ban, Alexander and Adrian in addition to the six names list ed above. The last pontiff to use a name not in the top 12—Paul V— reigned from 1605 to 1612. In all, 79 names have been used by the popes, but only 30 have been in use in the last thousand years. Forty-three popes, including St. Peter, have had names used only once. The last was Pope Landon whose pontificate lasted from 913 to 914. WASHINGTON (NC) — Rep. Hugh L. Carey disclosed here that the House Education Com mittee first accepted, then re jected, a proposal to include private schools in the biggest continuing Federal school aid the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clar ence Wade Branch.

The last Adrian, a Dutchman, was the last non-Italian pope. He reign ed from 1522 to 1523. The above 12 names have been used by a total of 142 popes. Names used by five popes each are Celestine, Nicholas, Paul and Sixtus. Anastasius, Eugene, Honor- ius and Sergius have been used by four popes each, while sev en names have been taken by three popes each: Callistus, Fe lix, Julius, Lucius, Martin, Syl vester and Victor.

The priest came down with malaria and had a fever every other day for three years. Still he and his people held on . . . The other day, the shed crumbled under the impact of time and weather. Mass had to be said in the school which is against government regulations. The pastor is now trying to build a modest church, 120 feet by 80 feet. His name is Father S. J. MUTHUKATTIL. The parishioners have donated their labor to build the foundation. They have little or no money to give. Father needs $4,000 to finish the building. His Bishop and the Sacred Congregation of the Eastern Rites in Rome add their fervent plea for his aid . . . Maybe sometime, somewhere, Our Lady of Lourdes was good to you. This would be a nice time to reciprocate. With your help a miracle can take place. Any amount will be ap preciated. TAKE A NUMBER. DIVIDE BY A HUNDRED We know of a priest who has a simple method of seeking help when in need financially. He says a prayer, offers a Mass in tention, calculates the sum needed, divides by a hundred and then sends the hundredth part to the poor—immediately. His reasoning is simple. Didn’t Christ promise a hundredfold? . . . Maybe you have a financial problem. Why not think of send ing a $10 FOOD PACKAGE to the PALESTINE REFUGEES? Or $2 for a BLANKET for a BEDOUIN FAMILY. GRADUATION DAY: ENTER JOY And what joy! A young person walks down a college aisle through admiring crowds of relatives to get the sheepskin. Emotions are intense. Exultation, joy, tenseness! Some stu dents are as white as the parchment they are to receive and their smiles, shall we say it, a little sheepish with so much limelight. We ask them—and . you—to think of those needy seminarians and Sisters-to-be in our care who wish to seek after Christ’s other sheep, students such as THOMAS SARTO THARAYIL and SEBASTIAN' SAVIO PEREPPADAN of Ban galore, Ind ; a and SISTER LIGOURI and SISTER VIANNEY of the Carmelite Sisters in India. They and others need $100 a year as a seminarian for six years training and $150 a year for two years to become a Sister. Will you adopt one of them. We have the names of many others. THE POETS ARE BANISHED In the life of St. Columcille, we read of his plea to save 1,200 poets from being banished from Ireland. They were demand ing too much food, shelter for themselves and their retinue. The Saint prevented their banishment and immediately the 1,200 bards composed and sang a most beautiful song in' his honor but he forbade them to give him any more honor . . . We have many MISSION CLUBS where you can help MONTHLY for a song as the phrase goes—a prayer and a $1 a month.
