CHICAGO (NC) — Nuns have an active and apostolic role to play in meeting the problems of a changing urban society, speakers at a Sisters' study day on the "urban revolution" agreed here. "Don't consider yourself stationed in a parish like a statue," Father Gilbert J. Gra ham, O. P., told the nuns. FATHER GRAHAM, pastor of St. Pius V church here, said nuns must come to grips with such issues as the crises in public welfare and public edu cation, delinquency, problems of the aged and alcoholism. "These are today’s prob lems. Those we deal with every day have these problems," he said. MRS. MADELINE Bonsig- nore of Olympia Fields, Ill,, a member of the local Catholic School Board and a former Christian Family Movement president, urged teaching nuns to help parents develop "child ren who can accept change and variousness, who can be res ponsible for helping to bring ab out the Kingdom of God." Mrs. Bonsignore noted that it is often said the lay apostle must first fulfill his personal responsibility as a spouse and parent before he can serve the community. She argued, how ever, that the layman who does not serve the community cannot be a good mother or father eit her. IF A WOMAN gives all her time and attention to the home and neglects the world outside it, she said, "you are teach ing your child that a scrubbed floor is moreimportant than the right of the Negro to move in to your community, that annual event weekly-changed sheets. . .are more important than seeing that everyone votes." Mother Mary Irene, principal of Loretto Academy, which- changed from an all-white to an all-Negro enrollment in the space of eight years, described how nuns of her community mst the challenges of a racial ly changing neighborhood. THE FIRST STEP, which she called the "apostolate of in terest," was to get acquainted with the people of the neighbor hood through personal contract. MOTHER IRENE recalled that Sisters from her convent were in a bus cavalcade taking area residents to register for voting. "By being on the bus the nuns became a part of the masses. While riding in the cavalcade some persons talked to us who had never before talked to a Catholic Sister," she said. The nuns’ study day was sponsored by the Chicago arch diocesan Office of Urban Af fairs in cooperation with Ros ary College.

CAMDEN, N. J. (NC)—For Sister Mary Bernard, it’s been a long two weeks—73 years long, in fact. The Sister of Mercy came here in 1891 on a two-week as signment and ever since has been here. During her more than half century as a teacher at St. Mary’s school, she instructed the children and some of the grandchildren of her original students. NOW 93, she resides with her memories at Immaculate Con ception convent. She remem bers it was an exciting trip in August, 1891, when she travel ed from Boston to Bordentown, N. J., and joined the Sisters of Mercy. Just five weeks after she became a postulant, she re calls, she was sent as two-week substitute teacher here to St. Mary’s school—now the Cathe dral parish. "They were just building the steeple on the cathedral,” Sis ter Mary Bernard reminisced. "Most of the streets were lin ed with trees and, of course, there were trolleys, not buses. There were no automobiles at all.” HERE ARE some of her philo sophic gems: "Installment buying—the ruination of many families. There should be less borrowing of money and less extravagan ces.” —“There’s no such thing aj a bad child. If children are troub lesome it’s because they are hungry—hungry for food or hun gry for love.” —"Many a child has been kept from trouble by being given a pet to care for or a tool to use to absorb childish energies.” Sister Mary Bernard esti mated , too, that children of to day lack the firm foundations of children two and three genera tions ago. Today, she said, there are too many luxuries and too many distractions. I NEW ARRIVALS CARROLLTON ALTAR1ANS Fr.
