TO fail.
Not An Acceptable SUBSTITUTE
But in the case of a marriage
between believing Christians,
such an impasse cannot occur:
how could it? For each of them
is intent on his day-by-day task
of pleasing God, a far too en-
crossing occupation for one to
be much troubled if the other
for a week or so is out of step.
The wife who does her best from
a Catholic motive is not overly
disturbed If her reward for
kindness to her husband is not
forthcoming within the hour: it
is probably being stored up in
Eternity. The husband who dis
covers that his wife's moods do
not always click with his own
need not groan, "The relation
ship has failed" It has not fail
ed at all: 1t has simply failed to
be an acceptable substitute for a
religion. For unless God rules
the household, its members will
forever seek the Infinite m each
others eyes and be forever dis
appointed.

INQUIRY CORNER

@. Is it san to attend night
club?
A. 1t is sin to attend any
place of amusement where the
entertainment offered is serious
ly dangerous to faith or morals.
Some night clubs are respect
able places for evening dinners,
providing reasonably clean en-
tertainment, and therefore not
occasions of sin at all. Many of
them, however, cultivate an at
mosphere of laxity in the matter
of association and drinking in
addition to questionable floor
shows. 1t is possible that there
could be a proportionate rea-
son for a Catholic attending such
a night club e.g. for business
reasons. AS with any occasion of
sin he would have tc avoid it, no
matter what reason he has for
going. if it becomes a proxi-
mate occasion of sin. Finally,
there are some night clubs which
are frankly immoral. 1t would be
sinful to visit such a place, not
only because of the immoral
show, ETC., but also because of
the danger of scandal.
@. Is there q real conflict be-
ttoeen democracy and the ca
tholic Church,
A. There is none. Between demo
cratic Tor any other kind) govern
ments and the Church there can
be misunderstanding because
men are not perfect. Christ es-
tablished the principle clearly
when He said, Render to Cae-
sar the things that are Caesars
and to God the things that are
Gods" Matthew 22:2D. The ap-
plication of this principle has
never been easy. An example
from the life of st. Thomas
More illustrates the difficulty.
He was in prison, awaiting the
mock trial and bloody execution
which is now history. One of
Henry's men, Rich, asked More
if he would accept him, Rich, as
King if Parliament should so de-
cree. Eyes, Sir" replied Sir
Thomas. Then Rich asked, eff
Parliament should elect me Pope
would you accept me?" More an
swered with another question:
Suppose the Parliament would
make a law that God should not
be God; would you then, Master
Rich, say that God were not
God?"
@. Does not the Church'S toll
GRAFTON of t0ar drive many from

A. Religion is a virtue which
obliges us to offer God due re-
spect and obedience in the man.
ner determined by Him. Know
ing, loving and serving Him is
necessary for mans happiness
apart from attitudes toward the
Church. Catholics know that the
Church speaks for God ard in
moral matters such as the NOR
ality of war is the only safe
guide. Although the Church has
always opposed war and worked
toward other solutions for mans
disagreements, it has always fac
ed the fact that defensive war
is sometimes unavoidable. Pope

most absurd example of this
modern weakness is the super
stition that science can solve ev-
cry problem.
Science says" is the great sill
encer in all debates. Science"
is regarded as the oracle in ev-

truth a very nimble office-boy
among the mental disciples, has
been elevated by the modern
mind to the position of chair
man of the board in every area
of life, thus forcing philosophy
to join the unemployed.
For science is only one of sew
eraI methods of apprehending
truth, as the Scholastics pointed
out in their sections on the mo-
tives of credibility. II is the job
of science to measure; and you
can only measure the measurable

long enough to be weighed or

great deal about our bodies
which are measurable. But spirit
does not stand still: what "sci-
ence knows" about the soul of
man is, therefore, nothing what
soever.

WASTING TIME

We can buy food, rainment,
shelter, houses and lands but we
cannot buy Time. At that last
day when the sands of life have
run out, how eagerly we clutch
at the passing moments how
priceless would be a second of
Time but this cannot be. We
cannot purchase with countless
gold an added portion Of Gods
great gift Time. Therefore, it
behooves us to make good use Of
it from the moment of bestowal
until the end of earth.s chapter.
And yet, how lightly do we fritz
ter it away upon this and that
trif1e, this and that foolish adven-
ture. If we would have enough

Don't you think it would be a
grand and helpful thing for you
to begin now to take a Charm
course of some sort? "Self in-
provement pays big dividends"

is some one who is qualified to
give such q course, and if not,
there are gooG correspondence
schools, so that such training is
available to anyone who really
wants it. Some of the greatest
prisons in the world have finished
their education through CORES
pondence.
And now for a charm hint of
the week: Give your mind a good
cleaning and you will automatic
ally follow the desire to give
your body and your clothes the
same kind of cleaning. To cleanse
the mind is to shut out all that
is not good for making progress

leads towards successful and hap
py living.
