Primary Objective

Our historic Zionist Movement
received its motivation primarily
from the basic urge for survival
inherent in the Jewish people.
For this purpose, it realized, as a
sine qua non, the creation of
Jewish State in Palestine. The
building of the State was not,
however, to be an end in itself,
but means of assuring political,
cultural, religious and moral sta
bility and security to the Jewish
people, both those who would be
favored by living therein and to
the vast number of Jews who
would remain in other lands.
Zionists clearly recognized that
our life in the Diaspora was I'M
der constant attack by enemies
from without and remedy for
both in that, in order to build the
new State, we should have to re-
build Jewish life in the Diaspora
(outside IsraeD, which rebuilding
would be part and parcel of the
process of our work for the crea-
ton of the State. The results of
several decades of Zionist en-
deavor have shown that this at
titude was valid.
Now that the State is a political
reality, one segment of our objec-

SO Missions Mark
Spiritual Activity
of Holy Year Here

The Holy Year about to come to
an end next week was a period of
intense spiritual activity in the
Columbus Diocese.
In outlining the conditions for
obtaining the Holy Year indul-
gence last January Bishop Ready
suggested that insofar as possible
missions and retreats be arranged
for the people to enlighten them
in the riches of their faith and to
encourage them to share in the
Church's treasury of merit.
Since that time so missions have
been conducted in the parishes of
the Diocese, with most of those in
the larger parishes continuing for
two weeks to give everyone an OPP
portunity to take part.
AS a result, practically every
member of the Diocese has had
offered to him a week of Spe-
cial attention to the things that
are Gods by series of appropri-
ate sermons. special prayers, Con-
fession and daily Mass.
Pastors engaged missionaries Of
at least eight congregations to
preach the mission sermons and
conduct the exercises. These in.
cluded Passionists, Dominicans,
Oblates of Mary Immaculate, Jes-
uits, Paulists, Vincentians, Pre-
cious Blood Fathers, and Priests
of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and
Mary.

Pontiff Calls Christian Order
Foundation of Genuine Peace

Dealing with those "who wrong
ly consider the Church as kind of
earthly power" and demand from
her "a definite election in favor of
one or the other side" the Pontiff
said:
"There can be no question of the
Church renouncing her political
neutrality for the simple reason
she cannot serve purely political
ends" Those who want to make the
Church "their ally or the instru-
ment of their political alliances
would bring her down to the same
level on which conflicting temper
al interests are locked in struggle. F"
On the other hand, the Pope reaf-
firmed the right of the Church to
speak and judge on the problems Of
the day, "for God is never neutral
toward human events and so
neither can His Church be-"
Taking issue with those who de-
mand the neutrality of the
Church." the Pope declared: "The
Church cannot forget for an in
slant that her role of representa-
tive of God on earth does not per-
nit her to remain indifferent, even
for a single moment, between
good and evil in human affairs.
If that were asked of her, she
would have to refuse and the faith.
full on both sides would have
to understand and respect her
stand"
The Church's contribution to the
cause of peace derives from her
unique title which transcends ev-
cry earthly thing and stems imme-
diately from God," the Pontiff con-
tinued. IT was the mission of Christ

and God, between men themselves

bringing about "a perfect Chris

peace.
Like its twelve predecessors, this
years Christmas Eve message OF
the Holy Father was again dedicat'
ed to the cause of peace: mans
yearning for it and mans failure to
achieve it.
The Pontiff rejected the notion OF
those "who see in armed peace
the definitive and last word on the
subject" He warned against that
practical materialism" which re-
CARDS terror weapons cas- the sole
and principal consideration in the
question of peace" He counseled
that disarmament, though desir.
able in itself, "is an unstable
guarantee of lasting peace"
1.-THE heart of the problem OF
peace is now of the spiritual or.
der" the Pope said. "The problem
is a spiritual lack, spiritual defic-
iency. Too rare in the world of to-
day is the deeply Christian sense OF
values; too few are the true and
perfect Christians. In this way, men
themselves set obstacles in the way
of actuating the order willed by
God.
Everyone must be convinced OF

the danger of war. To awaken that
conviction is in the first place the
