strange bedfellows'-and it is con-

wrote it before the turn of the
century. Party. lines and personal

REVEREND FEALY REPLIES

To the Edi tor;
The editorial-one Church or a Dozen?-has been
called to my attention.
The writer desires to say, I take it, that while
the cooperation of the CathoHc-group, at least to
the extent of "more serious consideration of the
proposal" for combined church in Greenbelt is de-
sirable, he is sure they will not give it.
Speaking of cooperation, Catholics, would like
to find spirit Of cooperation the part of the
cooperator-yes, and on the part of others in
Greenbelt ,-sufHcient at least, to cause you to
make of the facts before attempting to take U.S.
Catholics, the jumps. doubt that the writer
Of none Church Dozen" read the account of
the Catholic meeting which appeared in the coopera
tor of January ID. IF he did, how it tn at he
mi ssed "pending encouraging developments for
the combined church building it was decided" etc.
The Catholics of Greenbelt going ahead wi tn
plans for a church building, whether it be sepa-
rate building part Of combined building depends
future devel olments and the decision of His
Ecenency, the Archbishop of Bal tinore. That the
idea of combined building has not been thrown out
the window is attested by the that Monsi gnor
Neligan, in behalf of the Archbishop is scheduled
to confer with the Rev. Nnche1oe, Tue sday, Jan
uary 3d. concerning this matter.
I trust the writer of this editorial will remer-
Der that one of the to make end of factional
ism is to be sure that you just your mel ghbor

FURTHERMORE.
To the Editor:

To the d1tor:
In the Cooperator of January IS read editor
ia1 of lament that local Catholics propose to build
here their own church, when there might be given
more serious consideration Of the proposal
in Greenbelt single center fine enough and wi tn
enough seperate wings to care for all the major
groups represented"
To ascertain what serious consideration the "coop
orator" may have given such proposal secured all
past issues back to September 7, 1899. I find no
mention of such proposal. It happens that do know
that Rev. Kincheloe has entertained such idea
it has been aired at White House teal do not know
that church group has declared for against
mere idea.
The proposal, it exists in the abstract, has
taken neither form shape any tangible basis.
The determination of Greenbelt Catholics proceed
with plans for their church building is subject
to survey now actually under way. The "Coopera tor"
story in the issue of January l8, 1870, outlining
the Catholic program stated that it wn ertaeen
spending more encouraging deve1omen for the
bined church building" Certainly It is the intention
of local Catholics to provide for themselves
manner a fitting place for the center of their re-
igious life, shrine that shall shelter Christ In
the Blessed Sacrament and bring Him, neighbor,
near to their homes.

To the Editor:
The Greenbe1t Cooprator scoops again in the
wonderful ~ editorial written by the brilliant ed
itor of paper whose so-cal1ed watcword is nCoop-
eration".
have always classified eh torial of paper
stating the policy of the newspaper and any facts
set forth as an editorial only stated after the
careful shifting Of from fact and careful check
ing of the of the information to get
facts. Possibly the Cooperators editorial staff
has diff ferent view.
However, the edi tor Of the Coop must have diff
erent idea Of ed toral and bases his statements
only rrmor and sta tements from persons not
in position to know the facts who have heard
the true facts but have not interpreted them
1y.
I, as Catholic and speaking for myself alone,
certainly regard the ed torial of last weeks Coop
direct insult and demand apology and retrac-
ton of the statements made. one's rel igion is
touchy subject and anyone with ounce Of brains
would certainly strive to get the true facts from
the person best able to give them before taking
stand way the other, such the brilliant
editor has done in this instance and by others in
our fair town. If the editorial staff does not
possess such knowledge of whom to out ques-
tions of this type, I would consider it empty
honor to advise them.

generous contribution to our individual and col

It is an inspiration to the teacher and those
present to see many turn out to sing and study

conferred on the fundamental spiritual problems of
everyday life.
There several who have attended Sunday
School at Greenbe1t for the first time in twenty
years. feel that the readers of the "Greenbelt

others who would like to put in word for the class.
Runors continue to circulate about the new ideas

Ing their church instead of cooperating wi tn the
other religious groups, may make the following re-
marks.
We have not built the church yet. We have not
closed the door the idea of the combined church
building. We cannot decide by ourselves just what
Will be done, the final word with Archbi sh-
op C'r1ey. The recent decision to proceed wi
plans for building Catholic Church Greenbelt is
merely an additional step in plans first advanced
almost two years ago, it is logical step forward
In these plans, and will continue develop them
as far as possible. IF different plan should be
submitted before our own reach their culminat on
you can be sure it Will be given sincere considera-

The "cooperator" edi torial, therefore, might we'll
be re-prased, If not retracted; If it intended to
convey the notion that a combined church building
had been rejected, it written wi thout any basis
in fact. No concrete possibility of a combined
church building exists at the present time. As an
idea it has been entertained, but yet developed
Between the idea and its flHllment may lie practi
