I a Archbishop’s Notebook * TWO MEN WHO USED WORDS This month has seen the death of two Englishmen, the poetT. S. Eliot, and the statesman, Winston Churchill, In his own way each is a man of the century, Eliot was born American but became the authentic type of a cultured Englishman. Churchill was the very essence of the British Empire, but his mother was an American. The tiny island, in our times no longer resplendent in glory, is still capable of producing giants. Both could use words; as President Kennedy said of Churchill, he mobilized the English language. In a thousand composition classes across our land young people are learning to write, but in a rnillion commercials, song lyrics and gossip columns, the “media of communication*’ are letting them down. Eliot, as the spokesman of the despairing generation after World War 1, wrote such unforgettable lines as these from "The Wast- Land:” April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land. . . And, in "The Hollow Men;’’ This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper. And this one that leaps out of the page: life with coffee spoons." “What's he saying?’ ARCHBISHOP OF ATLANTA THURSDAY FEBRUARY 4, 1965 GEORGIA BULLETIN PAGE 3 ‘I have measured out my In 1927 Eliot became a member of the Church of England. The early despair, evolved into a quest for the spiritual. The poems, “Ash-Wednesday*’ and “Four Quartets’’ and the plays “Murder in the Cathedral’’ and "The Cocktail Party” are addressed to the same embittered generation, but with an assurance of religious hope. Eliot spoke for the Christian almost in prayer: Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood, Teach us to care and not to care, Teach us to sit still. . . Suffer me not to be separated And let my cry come unto Thee. Churchill, on a far different and wider stage, spoke and wrote a more muscular prose. Many Americans still remember 1940 and his offering of nothing but "blood, toil, tears and sweat,*’ and his tribute to the Royal AIR Force, “Never was so much owed by so many to so few.” From 'This was their finest hour” to his fellow Britons to “the Iron Curtain” drawn by the Soviets, he put words to their most rugged test - to express man’s spirit. The world owes much to Eliot and Churchill. Let us not forget their strong and vibrant use of language. We have grown sloppy and profuse in our expression. We proliferate the jargon of each trade. In 1940 the crisis was great, but in this case the speaker rose even above the occasion. Churchill said in wartime England: Do not let us speak of darker days. Let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days - these are great days. . and we must all thank God that we'have beel allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race. ^ icodot; dgiti asn ..

He seemed in terested in hearing the English Introit, Kyrie and Gloria. When the celebrant started “Dominus Vobiscum” and the Oration (in Latin), the critic summed up the whole vernacular problem: Memorial Plan Opportunities • See also pages 1 and 8 Archbishop Hallinan announced this week a Memorial Plan which Will offer opportunities to donors to dedicate particular build ing units, various frunishings for the Chapels included in the building projects, dedication and furnishing of Sister’s Rooms, Facilities for the cottages of the Village of St. Joseph, and many Other necessary items in each of the three construction projects. In announcing the Memorial Plan, Archbishop Hallinan noted that there are many reasons for remembering and that Memorial Gifts offer a particular opportunity to express these reasons. The rememberance of a loved one recently departed or a long time past; a Thanksgiving for a wonderful favor received; a peti tion for a personal or family need; or merely the wish to estab- • lish a permanent remembrance of a family name. All these are worthy reasons for dedicating a Memorial item in one of the build ings indicated in our Archdiocesan Expansion Program. IN ANNOUNCING the plan, the Archbishop described the oppor tunities as “living Memorials’* which will be in buildings used by men, women and children of all ages and from all areas of the Archdiocese for probably a century and beyond.’ Memorial donations will be acknowledged on an attractive cen tral plaque in the building in which the item is located. Archbishop Hallman emphasized in announcing the plan that all Catholics in every parish of the Archdiocese are invited to con sider this unique opportunity. Any family or individual inter ested in having further information on the Memorial Opportun ities is asked to contact one of the priests of the paris or members of the parish Memorial Committee. Lists are also available by writing Campaign Headquarters, 2699 Peachtree Road, N. E., or by telephoning 261-5747.

When the guests lined up to march in to the head-table, our arranger apologized - ‘There’s a delay because of seating the Yrrowd of 1500. You’ll have to wait about ten minutes.” Out of this situation came a wonderful truth in the form of a gag.
