Book Review Sister St. Hilary

Landon, Margaret, "Anna And The King Of Siam" Rarely is the opportunity gl- ven to any woman to wield suf- fcient power over 8 young prince to influence him in trans- forming his kingdom. Equally rare is book like thls. written in so fascinating a manner as to make one loath to lay it down until the last page has been reached.
 This is thesstory of Anna Le- onowens, a young English widow engaged by King Mongkut to teach his children and his favor- ite wives the English language and customs. Her most import. ant pupil was the young prince who was to become Slams most progressive ruler, and who was to tell Anna later, when he met her in England, that 'fa'l the good he knew. he learned from her."
 An interest in Abraham Lin. coin, whose Emancipation Pro clamation stirred all Europe, impelled Anna to instill in hes young pupils 8 love of freedom, about whlch they knew nothing; it was thls instl uction which was to bear fruit in later years and bring about an aboliti n of slav cry and other soclal customs SO abhorrent to Anna's western mind.
 But the book is mainly about

Catholic Information
Is Catholic reasoning unreasonable?

Is it reasonable to expect rea- soning people to believe things hat are unreasonable3
 Of course it isn't! The Catho-
 lie Church has no such expecta-
 ion. On the contrary 1t claims that it teaches nothing which conflicts with human reason
 A rather startling statement.
 perhaps, when one is told that the Catholic p lest has cower to change bread aud wIne into the body and blood of Christ. Surely
 this must be taken on faith. Yes. on faith! But what is fAithY l. 1t not ,eason carried to higher plane-a superna
 rural plane? Let s reason it out Everyone knows of the lneas- ure)ess universe-and of the
 germ of life in a poppy seed
 But the finite mind is powerless
 before an explanation oi the ori gin of either. Therefore human
 reason. which insists on a cause for every effect must admit of It's own limitations and become reasonable enough to acknow ledge a superhuman cause for the beginning of everything; and that cause must be God
 Here then, by human reason.
 ing, we have a rived at an all-
 c eative Goo Reasoning a little further, we must concede that if God is all-creative, He must be

 stating that He can do anything. All right! God can do any
 thing. Therefore, He can give # ifs anything Catholic. ask ;

power to 8 priest to bring down from Heaven His Own Divine Son :n the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist He CAN. All rea- son makes us concede this. The next question is, did He? Whtch. although 8 matter of fact fad ing, is from the Catholic view point also 8 matter of reasoning.
 The Bible tells us that Christ, at the Last Supper, changeA bread and wine into His own be :; dy and blood, thus establlshiag the sacrament of which He said: Except you eat of the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood. you shall not have life n you (John 6.54)
 Did Christ provide this iife-gz- wing grace for but twelve men, leaving all other men of future ages without life in ther? Cath olic reasoning says that this would be most unreasonable ard most unjust. Therefore the Cath olic has ever believed that when Christ said: Do this for 8 conn memoration of me" Quke g i9) He, with the utmost reason and justice gave the power of corise- cration not merely to those pre- sent at the Supper, but to their successors throughout the ages; and these successors are the Bi- shops and their assistants, the priests.
 This, dear friend, is Catholic reasoning. Would you say that it is unreasonable?

Weldon-Away back in yester-
year, around 1888 there was a
little hat shop called, Mrs. Lew
is Milliner" in Weldon standing
where the Farmers Exchange is
today. A very exclusive shop it
was, too. and carried everything
dear to a lady, along with ex-
quisite hats, with wells and beau-
tifully colored plurns. Mrs, Lew
is merchandise was superior to
anything around here and equal
to what could be found in Rich
mond.
Mrs. Lewis herself was a
much admired person. She was
always well groomed and every
three or four months she went
to New York to buy. While in
New York she would have her
hair fixed at a beauty shop,
chair dressers" it was called III
those days. She had beautiful
white, silken hair.
In those years there were no
beauty shops in Weldon and it
was quite something to shave
your hair done" as the ladies
spoke OF it then. In New York
she purchased the very best in
millinery materials and brought
back to the ladies in Weldon the
late things in fashions.
Out of town milliners a

and every kind of doll that you
could buy. Mrs. James johnson
and Mrs. Wiley Gregory used to
help in the hat shop after school,
in later years, when they were
little girls. At that time there
was an unusual and striking doll
that was life size. This doll drew
children from miles around.
Mrs. Lewis had hats dating
back so years or more, which
she willingly loaned out for dra-
matte purposes.
AS a hobby Mrs. Lewis raised
flowers back of her shop, Her
back yard was a garden spot
of loveliness. She had a small
brick building in which she Kept
flowers all winter long. NJ r S.
Lewis spent much time in her
flowers even in her later years
when she was unable to walk
without assistance, and her life
in Weldon and activities as a
merchant remain in the memory
of the older citizens today as a
beautiful flower.

His Future

Yes, but you also wanted to

you'd better not try. Jamie has
the right and-what Is more-has
the will to follow his own bent and
you'd better" 60 along with him."
That is good sense for everybody
who has a similar problem. Each
young person must choose his own
field of work. Nobody can do that
for him, nobody can Give in his
skim" nobody can make his own
wish come true through the life OF
another-not successfully.
Children are loaned to their par
ents for brief time only. Soon
they must go out and live their own
lives. The only thing we can do is
to fit them for their work as far as
that is allowed us. After that they
must-like it or not-go' out and live
their own way, marry their own
choice, carry their own responsible
ties and weep their own tears las
everybody has done since the be-
ginning of time).
Nothing is more futile than this
endeavor of parents to force. their
