&4YS CARDINAL CUSHING
Vietnam Struggle
‘Freedom Fight’
BOSTON (RNS) — Richard
Cardinal Cushing, Arrchbishop
of Boston, declared here that
the issues involved in "the
struggle for freedom" in Viet
nam "are not very different
than they were in 1775," atthe
outset of the American Revolu
tionary War,
He spoke in Boston’s historic
Old North church made fam
ous by the hanging of lanterns
in 1775 as a signal for Paul
Revere, The cardinal’s visit to
the church commemorated the
191st anniversary of the hanging
of the lanterns.
Other participants in the com
memorative rites included
Episcopal Bishop Anson Phelps
Stokes, Jr., of Massachusetts;
the Rev. Howard P. Kellett, vi
car of Christ Church, as the
historic edifice is formally
known; and the Rev. G. Earl
Daniels of the Episcopal church
staff.
The services included the
reading of sacred scripture,
the Lord’s Prayer and the sing
ing of "America.’
CARDINAL Cushing said that
the U.S. today is engaged in a
fight for freedom as it was in
1775,' but the "field is for
eign and the place far away."
Noting that Paul Revere watch
ed for the church steeple light
as he crossed the Charles Riv
er, the cardinal stated, "Let
us hope that there is alightthat

those patriots who must look
further than across the Charles
or even to Lexington and Con
cord.
"Their effort is clouded by
much that tends to confuse, their
call is made unclear by the
voices of doubters — but their
cause is freedom. To them the
lanterns of 1775 still have
meaning and the Old North
church is full of significance.’ ’
Cardinal Cushing said it was
"appropriate" that the signal
light for Paul Revere was hung
from a church steeple, obser
ving that "this was more than
an accident of history, it was
a deeper symbol than the men
who designed it would have rec
ognized."
"UNLESS THE cause of free
dom is rooted in the values made
sacred by religion,” Cardinal
Cushing emphasized, ."it is
either a flame that withers L or
a fire that soon becomes uncon
trolled. Those virtues that tra
ditional religion inspires in the
human heart are forces that di
rect freedom toward its most
productive ends, they temper its
excesses and they provide it
with the strength to endure.
"The lanterns hanging in the
church steeple give testimony of
the role that religion plays and
should play in the life of a free
people. It supports freedom
especially in its hour of chal
lenge, but it sees freedom al
ways in the context of those oth
er values that make life worth
living." ,

STRASBOURG, France <RNS)

lieved that it summarized the
"values" of both consultations

EIGHT SISTERS of Mercy from the Immaculate Conception Shrine are shown renewing their vows
of poverty, chastity, and obedience at the Easter Vigil on April 10. The Sisters, wearing long white
church cloaks and each holding a lighted candle which they had received at their first profession,
entered the Santuary after the Consecration of the Mass. While the priest held the Sacred Host
above their heads the Sisters recited together their vows. After the renewal of their vows each
Sister received Holy Communion under both species, by special Permission for this occasion. The
Fransciscan Friars are in charge atthe Immaculate Conception Shrine. The celebrant for the Mass
was Fr. Simon, the deacon, Fr. Jerome, the sub-deacon, Fr. Rapaheal. The pastor, Fr. Arthur
Murray, was the Master of Ceromonies.
PAPAL SECRETARY OF STATE
BOSTON (NC>—"No one can
afford to be satisfied’’ with the
present condition of race rela
tion, Richard Cardinal Cushing
said in a statement to a Con
ference on Religion and Race
here.
"Pleased as we may be with
certain aspects of the racial
picture which have begun to
show promise," he said, "we
know realistically that we have
only made the smallest begin
ning on what will have to be a
long ami large labor for all
the days of our years.”
The cardinal was unable to
attend the Boston conference
because of illness. His state
ment was read to the assembly
by Father Robert F. Quinn,
C.S.P. of the Paulist Informa
tion Center.
Recommendations of patience
can be easily misunderstood,
Cardinal Cushing said, because
"so many sins have been com
mitted in the name of that vir
tue.”
it should avoid bitterness and
recrimination, it should control
violence and excess."
He said that the interfaith
composition of the conference
was encouraging. The move
ment for interracial justice
"must never be an effort to
divide citizens one against ano
ther, but one that brings them
into closer cooperation and
more meaningful brotherhood,"
he stated.
Religion has a place in the
movement, he said, "because
human life and human dignity
are involved, the home and fam
ily are threatened, and the soul
of man itself is crushed by op
pression, anxiety and despair.
"RACIAL JUSTICE is amor
al problem of major dimensions
and the religious forces of every
community must be committed
unequivocally to its extermi
nation. Social conditions can
be changed by ideas and ideals
and the church must, bring both
to the aid of contemporary so
ciety. But it must do more. It
must be involved as an institu
tion, as well as through its cler
gy and lay people, so that its
voice will be heard and its in
fluence felt in the concrete
and sometimes bitter struggle
for total justice."

Amleto Cardinal Cicognani

The Cardinal said, "Now that

The Holy Father on many oc

Liturgical Unit
Meets In Fla.
The World Center for Litur
gical Studies will erect its main
building and satelite facilities
in the City of North Miami
Beach, announced Rev. Canon
Don H. Copeland, D.D, This
ecumenical liturgical institu
tion will be located immediate
ly adjacent to one of America's
better known religious shrines,
the Cloisters of the Spanish
Monastery. This building is a
12th century masterpiece and
was transplanted from its origi
nal site in Spain and erected
at its present location, 167th
Street and N, W, Dixie Highway,
North Miami Beach, in 1952.
The World Center for Litur
gical Studies will have 5-1/2
acres of tropical grounds as its
domain. Its director, the Rev.
Canon Don H. Copeland, D.D.,
said, "We believe that the
World Center for Liturgical
Studies will afford scholars and
students of religion from all
over the world a central place
in which to continue their re
search and studies since the
center will contain libraries
and museums of literature, mu
sic, artifacts and many other
items of interest, both ancient
and modern, for the use of such
students on an ecumenical bas
is. We have the cooperation of
the Roman Catholic Church,
Methodist, Lutheran, Orthodox,
Presbyterian, Jewish scholars
and many others. The City of
North Miami Beach is to be
complimented on leasing to us
what is probably the most beau
tiful acreage in the city. The
site and its surrounding will un
questionably lend additional ap
peal to this important contri
bution to the study of the his
tory and growth of the various
forms of worship extant within
the Judeo-Christian tradition
in the world today, and their
significance for the life and wit
ness of this tradition in the fu
ture.
Canon Copeland further points
out that the center’s proximity
to InteramawiU afford a double
appeal to scholars and interest
ed laymen alike, "Wearelook-
ing forward to having the first
stage of building completed
within the next few months. The
date for the dedication cere
monies and cornerstone laying
will be announced shortly."
The Rt, Rev. Henry I. Lout-
tit, Bishop of the Diocese of
South Florida of the Episcopal
Church in the United States,
said that he is looking to this
center "to act as another ful
crum in the world-wide ecu
menical movement."
A companionable fellowship
of the World Liturgical Center
and St. Bernard Foundation will
provide a kind of dynamism
which will stimulate the de
velopment and fulfillment of
these two very different yet sig
nificant projects that have be
come the privilege of the Dio
cese of South Florida to bring
to fruition.
The organization founded in
April, 1963, formerly met in
the city of Miami. Last month
two priests of the Archdiocese
of Atlanta attended a conference
in Boca, Raton, Fla. Present
at the conference were some
20 persons representing 10 dif
ferent denominations.

each faith to stimulate dis
cussion of the issues by the
invited participants.
Father Colman Barry, O.S.B.,
president of St. John’s Uni
versity, Collegeville, Minn.,
told the group that educational
adaptation to the needs of the
day "must be accomplished
while safeguarding the essen
tials of tradition."
A genuine respect for honest
and thorough study was cited by
Father Barry as fundamental to
achieving the goals. • He added
that educational renewal will
result from "sound intellectual
training, especially in Scriptur
al, theological and historical
learning."
The ecumenical dimension of
Catholic education is a growth
and progress in responsibility,
Father Barry stated. "Such re
sponsibility will develop in
knowledge, service and love of
the one true God; in maturing a
true scholarly community of
faith and charity in the- service
of the universal Church and of
all men."
• THE PEOPLE of God have a
contemporary opportunity of
opening their minds and hearts
through brotherly conversation
to help achieve unity, concord
and peace. We are at a new be
ginning of a long and serious
march toward the arduous goal
of a humankind in which all men
will truly feel and behave as
sons of the same Father who is
in heaven,” he said.
Rev. Mr. William A. Norgren,
executive director of the De
partment of Faith and Order of
the National Council of the
Churches of Christ, said that
ecumenical education is not a
problem peculiar to the Cath
olic Church. All of the cur
rent religious educational ma
terials and methods are placed
in question by the present ecu
menical situation, he said.

A Need For Fresh Water
Will Bring Nations Close
WASH INCTTON—Fresh water,
specifically man’s nressine
need to provide large supplies
of it, holds promise of bring
ing nations closer together.
In 1965, the U.S, use of fresh
water ran to a total of 359
billion gallons a day. By 1980,
it will be 494 billion gallons
daily, an amount almost equal
to the national dependable sup
ply of usable water. By the
year 2000, Americans are ex
pected to need a trillion gallons
of usable water daily, more than
double the dependable supply.
The U.S. has been working
seriously on this problem for
about 15 years. Last year,
President J ohnson gave the pro
gram a boost whenhesaidother
knowledge, and techniques we
achieve. Since that time, to
ward the end of last summer,,
our activity in this direction has
attracted die attention of peo
ples all over the world. Our
State Department and other
overseas agencies feel the sit
uation offers exciting possibili
ties for cooperative efforts be
tween nations, on a matter that
represents a basic need every
where. Sixty-five nations sent
delegates to an international
symposium on water desalini
zation held here late last year.
THE IDEA OF desalting water
is not new. Even before Rome
was in its glory, men were di
verting sea water into pools and
evaporating it—but to acquire
salt from the water. Now man
is seeking to separate salt from
saline and brackish waters to
get usable water—for agricul
ture, industry and domestic use.
At present desalted sea wat
er costs about $1 per 1,000 gal
lons to produce, almost three
times the cost of making na
tural fresh water available.
However, when the Office of
Saline Water, U.S. Department
of the Interior, was establish
ed in 1952, the cost of desalting
water was $4 per 1,000 gallons.
THE SYMPOSIUM held here
officials feel, not only drama
tized how thirsty the world is,
but provided also a "tremen
dous stimulus" to the rapid so
lution of the technical and eco
nomic problems of desalting
water. Moreover, it has been
stated, the meeting of the
exhibits helped to build good
will among nations—especially
those neighboring nations that
share common watep* resour
ces, such as rivers that divide
borders.
Today, according to esti
mates, desalting plants ope
rating on land and on ships
throughout the Free World pro
duce about 100 million gallons
of fresh water daily. The in
stalled capacity for saline water
conversion is doubling every
two or three years. If this rate
of growth continues, the Free
World is expected to have a 20
billion gallon a day capacity by
1985.
This has been called a "bright
hope" for an “ever-thirsting
world,” and also for better re
lations among nations.
