PAGE 8 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY APRIL 11, 1963 7TH DAY ADVENTISTS ROME CEREMONY Court Will Hear Arguments On Sunday Observances Pope Is Greeted With Palms WASHINGTON (NC) —The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments during next week in a case in which the issues of religious liberty and sabbath observance have been raised. The court has set aside one hour for oral arguments In an appeal by a Spartanburg, S.C., woman who says she was de nied state unemployment com pensation because, as a Seventh Day Adventist, she refused a job that would have required her to work on Saturday. THE high court agreed last December 17 to hear the case. The court’s ruling could be significant in setting guidelines on the touchy issue of what happens when public policy comes into conflict with relig ious belief and the free ex ercise of religion. The appellant is Adell H. She- rbert, a 57-year-old Spart anburg woman who worked in HAM KUENG 6 New Frontier’ For Freedom SAN FRANCISCO (RNS) — Father Hans Kueng has called on American Catholics to play a "leading position in the ’new frontier' of the Church — its cause for freedom from within." The 35-year-old priest, dean of the theological faculty at the University of Teubingen, Ger many, and a consultant to the Second Vatican Council, said the "Church in the United States can do much for the universal Church. It can be a leader especially in the manifestation of freedom." SPEAKING at the University of San Francisco before 6,500 persons, Father Kueng said he saw "a new period of fruitful freedom beginning in the Church." He praised Pope John XXIII for fostering this move. He said there were three areas in which freedom ought to be manifested by the Church, Anti*Bia$ Bill COLUMBUS, Ohio (NC)—The Ohio Catholic Welfare Con ference has urged the adoption of a bill now before the Ohio General Assembly which would prohibit discrimination in hous ing because of race, color, re ligion or national ancestry. They are "conscience, speech and action." The famed theologian criti cized the Church in Spain for not "fully observing" Canon 1351 of Church law which for bids forcing anyone into the faith. "We maintain that error has no right, and it has not," he said, "But we have to main tain that a person in error has rights." HE ADDED that the Catholic Church was still "on the de fensive" in freedom of speech and said its devotion to free dom in this area could be shown bv abolishing the Index and the required pre-censorship of religious books. He said theolo gians have to present their work for approval by officials who sometimes are not qualified to judge the material. In Church matter, Father Kueng said, laymen "must as sume the authority they have by Baptism." But, he said, they should realize the res ponsibility that authority car ries in the Church. it appears to outsiders, he said, that in the Catholic Church "freedom is sacrified to free man from responsibility and let him be happy and OWENS FLOWER SHOP SEE US FOR YOUR EASTER PLANTS AND FLOWERS 1180 ATLANTA ROAD MARIETTA, GEORGIA PHONE 427-3714 GLENCO PHARMACY "Doc" Joe Herbermann "Your Smile of Health Is Our Goal" • Prescriptions Picked Up And Delivered Baby and Sick Room Supplies Films Developed — Greeting Cards 3880 GLENWOOD ROAD DECATUR BU. 9-4148 RHODES BAKERY Famous In Atlanta For The Very Finest Products 1783 Cheshire Bridge Rd.

In June, 1959, her employer inaugurated a six- day week and required all em ployees to work on Saturdays. She refused on religious grounds and was dismissed after missing work on six st raight Saturdays. SHE FILED a claim for un employment benefits on July 29, 1959, with the State Employment Security Commission. The commission found her ineligi ble for benefits, however, be cause her failure to report for work on Saturdays had made her not "available for work" as required under the state un employment compensation law. She asked the Spartanburg County Court of Common Pleas to reverse the Employment Se curity Commission's decision, but the court ruled against her on June 27, 1960, and was up held in May, 1962, by the state Supreme Court. IN APPEALING this ruling to the U. S. high court, her attorneys have argued that the state Supreme Court’s interp retation of the unemployment compensation law "imposes a substantial penalty on the ex ercise... of her religious free dom." "Surrender of appelant’s re ligious freedom to worship God on her sabbath may not be made a condition of her right to unemployment compen sation," they have argued. A small vestibule called the Chapel of the Angels guards the entrance to Our Lord’s Tomb in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Just through the passage is the place where Christ was laid In the tomb, Etnd where — three days hence — He rose from the dead. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a place of special devotion during the Easter season.

ROME —His Holiness Pope John XXIII was greeted by wav ing olive branches when he went to a suburban parish south of Rome on Palm Sunday to wind up his weekly lenten vis its to the people of his diocese. His trip to St. Tarcisius’ church made the neighborhood singular in another way: The partisan wall posters which are so much a part of the vista at election time were absent. The country's political parties by mutual agreement removed election posters from around the church so that there would be no possibility for television viewers to connect the Bishop of Rome with any political back drop. The national elections were only three weeks away, but instead of campaign bill boards, there were posters reading: "Viva 11 Papa," "Ben venuto Santo Padre," and "Viva il Papa dela Pace." POPE John had taken part in the solemn Palm Sunday liturgy in St. Peter's basilica that morning. He was borne into the world’s biggest churchbyaside door and stepped down from his portable throne at the central altar. Nineteen cardinals and a congregation of 10,000 looked on as the crimson-coped Pope blessed the palms. Thenfollow- ed the joyful procession com memorating Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The Pope was carried on his throne a- gain, preceded by the cardinals, bishops and other officials of the papal court, each carrying a piece of elaborately plaited palm prepared by cloistered Camaldolese nuns of Rome. When the Pope reached the front door of the basilica, he imparted his blessing and then returned to his apartment in the adjoining palace. Paolo Car dinal Marella, Archpriest of St. Peter's began the celebrat ion of Pontifical Mass imme diately after the Pope's depar ture. AT ST, Tarcisius’ church that afternoon, the people were a- waltlng the Vicar of Christ with blest olive branches In hand. The Pope himself spoke of the peaceful significance of the ol ive branch during his brief discourse at the church. At the end of his talk, he voiced his wishes for a happy CYO Newswire BY SMITH Christ the King CYO will continue their series of danc ing lessons this Sunday. This will be their third instruction.

Members of the St. Peter and Paul Teen Club have been devoting their Sunday nights to practice for the play which they plan to present in May. Immaculate Conception held their elections for next year's officers last Sunday. This ser ves as a good reminder to tell all the Atlanta teenagers to be thinking of die candidate of their choice for their parish elections and for the big ACCY elections which are upcoming. WHILE were on the subject of ACCY it would be a good place for me to mention that two ACCY board member, Tho mas Almon and Anne Hardy, received the Eagle of the Cross award at the Vocation Rally. This award is for outstanding Catholic Youth leadership. Easter for all the people of Rome and to all Christians throughout the world. The route of the Pope's drive down to St. Tarcisius’ church- on the way to Naples near Ci- ampino airport—was lined with cheering people. Pope John took advantage of the trip to stop at a number of points along the way, both going and returning. On the drive back to the Vat ican, he stopped briefly In front of the Church of St. Ignatius of Antioch and at the Hospital of "Light and Love," where a number of paraplegic child ren were lined up in beds out side th e building to see the Roman Pontiff.

BAY CITY, Mich., (NC)— Father Kevin Kenny, C. P., was telling a parents’ meeting here that it’s ridiculous for eighth and ninth grade students to go to dances every Friday evening. "Get them interested in sports," he urged. "Let them go to a ball game. Later they can get a hamburger and then go home." "Well, perhaps a tuna fish sandwich might be better," Fat her Kenny conceded to an ob jection from the floor.
