THRIFTY AND WISE MOTORISTS COME To TABER his name. They simply do not understand that a mystery lies at the very center of Chris tianity, the obedience of Christ to the law of suffering, and His active ministry in its relife. A "non-suffering Christ'* would be a contradiction in terms. A man or woman who ignores the sufferings of another, or des pairs at his own, is a tragic figure in the drama of human life." THE ARCHBISHOP referred to the duel community role of the Catholic hospital: "But a Catholic hospital has today another role that looks beyond that of the ministry of healing. This is the ministry of good will. Long before the Ecumenical Movement began to move, the South was beiijg dotted with dozens of Catholic hospitals. Most of them began, as did our own, on a shoe string, but the string was a bond of unity In mercy. Blend ing compassion and skill, the Sisters won the hearts of many who had seldom seen a whole live Catholic before, much less talked to one. They did more than represent the Church. To thousands of our faith, they were the church. They did not argue, nor preach, nor Intrude, nor (that ugly word) prosely tize. They simply lived a spec ial life, close to God, and ser ved their fellowmen, To some one meeting them for the first time, they were strange, even odd. Then their vocation came N. ATLANTA KNIGHT to be seen as a mystery, un known but respected. Patients found them, besides being good nurses, kind and considerate, unselfish and courageous. The Hospital Sisters have been the front-line troops of under standing, the vanguard, the thin red line of heroines in the Ecu menical movement of American Christianity. "IN THE larger view that looks beyond the bedside, their ecumenical role is today the special vocation of the nursing Sister. In Athens, the percent age of Catholic patients is 3.5% At St. Joseph Infirmary it is about 1 in 10. In Holy Family, it may well be even less. The Sisters serve the person, not his creed; just as they serve the person, not his color. Our hos pitals are appreciated in a grateful community because in stinctively every straight- thinking American citizen rea lizes that medical need, not color or creed, should be the basis of hospital admission. This calls, of course, for a highly developed sense of com passion, and as we all know, a high degree of courage. There is no group of Americans (and I say this, not as a Catholic bis hop, but as an American citi zen) doing more today than the Hospital Sisters to bring to reality the American dream of equality; no group more sen sitive to the ecumenical pray er of Christ: **That today all may be one, as You, Father, in Me, and I in You.** Appointed Master For Georgia Dist.
