Efforts to equal and surpass the

members were urged on students
at the Summer School of Catholic
Action today by the Rev. Aloysius
J. Heeg, S. j.. of St. Louis.
Just as Communists sometimes
act like men inspired because their
leaders have inculcated in them
their materialistic principles, so
Catholics-if they also are to act
like men inspired-must be per-
meated With spiritual ideals" Father
Heeg declared at general session
of the school in the Mayflower
Hotel. He is associate editor of
the Queens Work and director of
the department of elementary school
sodalitieS
Spiritual ideals can come only
by considering the motivation that
was Christs, Father Heeg empha-
sized. "Christs motivation was the
glory of God his Father, His love
of men and His desire to save souls
from hell and lead them to heaven. :"
he said.
He urged training of children
while they are still young. not
merely in religious classes, but in
sodalities, so they can 20 directly
to the poor and oppressed and prac-
tlce the words of mercy they have
learned"

mer school today will end a six-day
course attended by 1000 young Cath
olc leaders. The Rev Daniel A.
