* PAGE 2 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY APRIL 11, 1963 EAST AND WEST Jerusalem Holy Week Points To Divisions A shepherd leading his sheep, not driving them, was one of the first sights 1 saw on my way into Jerusalem from the airport. Now 1 was truly in the land where God became man and lived and spoke as man. Here something He used as an ex ample in His teaching—some thing the Psalmist had used, longer ago—was still to be seen. He likened Himself to the shep herd who "calls his own sheep by name and leads them forth... He goes before them and the sheep follow him." Rounding the great grey walls of Jerusalem City, we came close to the place where the Good Shepherd chose to "lay down His life for His sheep." "THERE'S Gethsemani," said a young Arab fellow- passenger, pointing down to the left, where a grove of olive trees stood beside a porticoed church. Behind it rose the broad, gra dual slope of the Mount of Olives. On our right, above the uneven, crowded roofs of Jer usalem, was the dark dome of the basilica that covers both Calvary and the tomb of Our Lord. In Jordan and Israel today, places in which Our Lord lived, taught and suffered are identi fiable with a precision that quickens the pulse. Bethle hem and Nazareth, Bethany, the site of the temple, Gethsemani and Calvary...these are still local realities under the same blue sky that was over them 19 centuries ago. From them you can look out and see the same undulating hills on the horizon that Our Lord, His mother, St. Joseph and the disciples saw.

OF COURSE the buildings, the surface levels, the roads and other superficial aspects are not the same as they were then. Sometimes the present- day town or village is 500 or 1,000 yards from the site of the old one, as uncovered by the archaeologists. One of the Passionists, taking me through the olive-planted field beside their monastery near Bethphage, pointed out fragments of pottery in the earth. Dwelling-houses where people kept their food and cooked and ate it, had stood there. This was part of the Bethany of Our Lord's day. Just beyond it is the present village, which bears the Arabic name of El-Azarieh, which be gan as El-Lazarle, from die name of Lazarus, whom Our Lord raised from the dead. The tomb of Lazarus would have been outside the village of his day. BETHANY is on the way from Jerusalem to Jericho. The modern Jericho, a pleasant town set among palm trees, is a short distance from the site of the old. The road from Jerusalem still goes through some for bidding, barren territory. For His story of the Good Samaritan and the man who "fell in with robbers," Our Lord chose the road to Jericho as the location. One can still picture that road as a grim gauntlet for any lonely trave ler to run. hi some places more than the locality can be identified. One can touch the very flag stones and walls that were there in Our Lord's lifetime. Massive stone blocks that were part of the walls around the pool "having five porti coes...by the Sheepgate'* in Jer usalem, masonry that met Our Lord’s eyes, can be seen to day. ABOUT 40 miles north of Jerusalem, Jacob's well is still beside the road. There Christ sat on the low parapet, "wearied from the journey," and "there came a Samaritan woman to draw water." There are still some 200 Samaritans, a dwind ling sect, in the nearby town of Nablus. The woman, puzzled by Our Lord's words about "living water," said "The well is deep ." It still is—about 100 feet deep. I drank some of the cool, clear water from its depths. On the way through the countryside to Samaria and Ja cob's well, 1 thought I saw corn—maize—growing in a field. I asked what It was. "White corn," the guide an swered. LUNSFORD WEST END PHARMACY 805 GORDON ST., S. W. PL. 3-3I6I — DELIVERY SERVICE — Atlanta, Ga.

PARK SQUARE MARIETTA, GEORGIA PHONE: 428-5-313 The tomb in which Our Lord’s body was laid was "in the place where He was crucified." What remains of it, now much adorn ed but still in the proportions of a burial chamber, is only about 30 paces from Calvary. Both are within the sombre Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, which is inside the present walled city. OUTSIDE Jerusalem one can still see the great round stones that were wheeled into place to cover the entrances to such tombs. No wonder Mary Mag dalene and the other two women, going to the tomb on Easter morning, asked themselves: "Who will roll the stone back for us 7" Places of primary import ance and long-standing tradition in the Holy Land are easily distinguishable from secondary shrines, supported by com paratively late or vague evi dence. The long-standing trad itions are guides for archa eologists. Jerusalem and Pale stine as a whole have indeed been fought over and ravaged again and again, but they have never been forgotten by either the followers or the foes of Christ. Inside the country or outside it, there could have been no collective amnesia regarding the places most closely con nected with the life and death of Our Lord. Above the ground and in it the Holy Land offers confir mation of the Gospel record of the life of Christ. The stones cry out in testimony that the Divine Redeemer lived, taught, suffered, died and rose from the dead. f ■f S TRANGE BUT TRU E Little-Known Facts for Catholics By M. j.

(RNS)— Christians must understand the Jewish Seder or Passover supper to comprehend the meaning of the Eucharist, a Ro man Catholic priest said here. Father James F. Drane of St. John's Home Missions Semi nary here made this remark while presenting a public de monstration in the seminary gymnasium of the Seder and the Last Supper. He was assi sted in the project by students at the seminary. FATHER Drane explained that he wished to show Christ ians and Jews the connection between the Bible’s Old and New Testaments. "When we talk about the New Testament or the New Covenant, this is not entirely new but a fulfillment of the Old Test ament and the Old Covenant," he declared.

Leverett Saltonstall of Massa chusetts praised Boston Col lege, In a Senate speech mark ing its current centennial year. He said the Jesuit school has made "a substantial contri bution" to the community and the nation. gical aspects of the Jewish meal and the Last Supper. Father Drane commented that the connection between the Seder and the Last Supper was in the spirit of ecumenism. "THE ecumenical movement is primarily concerned with better understanding among all those of Christian faith, re gardless of their denomi nations," he said. "But we must extend this also to our Jewish friends and seek a bet ter understanding between us and them." Christians in general "and we Catholics specifically" have been guilty in the past of dis seminating mistaken notions about the Jews and of contri buting to anti-Semitic pre judices, Father Drane said. "Pope John XXIII has elimi nated some of the distasteful phrasing of some of the litur gical prayers," he said. "This exposition of the Seder Supper and the Last Supper is meant to be our effort...to make a positive move toward showing there are two Covenants that cannot be separated spirit ually." Father Drane has been active in small ecumenical gatherings in the Little Rock area during the past year. He has led New man Club discussions at Little Rock University with Protestant ministers. This marble Crucifixion scene, perched atop a small knoll of shrubbery and framed by evergreen trees, is located near the Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs, Auriesville, N.Y. Now a national shrine of the Jesuit martyrs of North America, the site of the Crucifixion scene is a former Mohawk Indian village where St. Isaac Jogues said his companions were martyred. SENATOR SAYS: Farmers Shift Attitude On U.S, Migrant Worker ELIZABETH, N.J. (NC)—At titudes toward the migrant worker are beginning to change, U. S. Sen. Harrison A. Williams of New Jersey believes. Williams has chapioned the rights of the migrants in the Senate, where he has sponsored a legislative program to alle viate their plight. Recently he was given the Father Raymond A. McGowan Award of the Nat ional Council for the Spanish- Speaking. OF WILLIAMS’ legislative package, one bill providing he alth care for migrants has al ready been passed. His other proposals cover such points as minimum wages, restrictions on child labor, workforce stab ilization, education, day care for children and creation of a national advisory council. Last year die Senate pass ed four of the bills but they failed to win passage in the House. One of the big stumbling blocks is the task of convert ing farmbelt legislators to his views. But, Williams said in an interview, "they’re be ginning to come around.They're beginning to realize that im proving the plight of these people is going to work for the benefit of everybody." ADVANCES in agriculture, Williams said, have contributed to the problems of the migrants. The economic advantages of large farming operations have led to the near-disappearance of the family farm with its stable, year-round work force. Crop specialization has re sulted in short harvest periods which require a large work force for only a brief period. Migrant laborers who fill these needs, he said, live in a marginal world of sub-stan dard housing, health and ed ucation. Living conditions pro vide an open invitation to sick ness and immorality. Family earnings might come to $2,000 a year with all hands at work. "MOST people aren’t aware of how serious the situation is," the New Jersey Senator said. "These' people have the lowest standard of living in the coun try." WORLD PROTEST PARIS (NC)— A protest ag ainst the current anti-Christian campaign of the government of Sudan has been made by the International Union of the Cat holic Press at a meeting here. The journalists from eight countries stated their op position to restrictions against freedom of information and ob jected to racial and religious discrimination.

Williams, who is chairman of the Senate subcommittee on migratory labor, said "we’ve been working patiently to over come the opposition” to bills to aid the migrants. Everyone— growers included—he said, has a responsibility to eliminate the problem. "It’s a matter of awaken ing community responsibility. We’ve been tremendously en couraged by the changing at titudes of some people. In a few cases, those who started out as critics have become our strongest backers." ainst the Christian minorities in South Sudan, (LATEST reports on the Sud anese situation are that two more priests and three more nuns are being expelled. This information, received in Kam pala, Uganda, brings the total of Catholic mission expulsions to 44 priests, 19 Brothers and 45 Sisters, in addition, about 50 Protestant missionaries have been expelled from the Sudan.) The Catholic press group ur ged its members in all countries to promote celebrations in De cember noting the 15th anniver sary of the adoption of the Un iversal Declaration of the Rights of Man. The union also applauded the work of Catholic publications in all countries in the struggle to end hunger in the world.
