The Church Continues
In China

news item, little noticed in the public press,
tells us that the Holy Father has just appointed
other Chinese Bishop A Chinese national the newly
named prelate takes charge of the Diocese of Heng
chow replacing Bishop Raffaele Angelo Palazzi,
oFM. who has resigned after years of service.
The appointment of one of their own race to di-
rect their spiritual activities of the Chinese people,
is but another indication of the vigor of the Church
in China 1t has been some years since the Holy See
first appointed Chinese Bishops. The wisdom OF that
move is seen still further in this continuance of
the policy of giving the growing Church in China its
own native Hierarchy This the Church tries to do
as quickly it becomes prudent to do in any mis-
sionary country.
OF still more significance is the fact that despite
the persecution which is raging so violently against
the Church in China, directed in particular against
her Bishops there, the Holy Father nevertheless
sees fit to name another Bishop Prosecutions may
come and 90, but the Church will go on until the
end of time. And in China today some of the
Church's most valiant martyrs are giving their lives
for their faith. This can mean but one thing future
years will see great growth of the Mystical Body
of Christ in that area. Nuns priests, and Bishops
keep coming out of the Communicated part of
China to give testimony of the determined faith of
Chna'S Catholics. The continuance of the Chinese
Hierarchy at time like this is eloquent testimony
of the approval of the Holy See of the strong
faith in that suffering land, and of the confidence
held for the future there History will again repeat
itself and the blood of these modern martyrs will
be the seed for the future Towering of the Church in
China

1875, and is a religious sect teach

ing doctrinal belief as basis for
religion. Unlike modern Chris
tian shrines like Lourdes or st.
Anne de Beaupre where God
shows His approval of the Cath
olic Church there are no true
miracles connected with Chris
tian Science. 1t is mainly an ex-
ploitation of the natural powers
of auto suggestion, whereas no
cure at Lourdes which could be
due to anything but a supernat-
ural force is accepted or register
ed officially as a miracle. Auto
suggestion will not mend a brok-
en- leg in an instant, and only
cures of such organic disorders
are demonstrations that indicate
miracles which everyone must ac-
cept as such.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGT0N--A word ought
to be said about the members of
the u. S. House of Representa-
tives here who have just finished
consideration of the Universal
Military Training bill.
The House sent back to COM
mittee, by vote of 236 to 162,
a bill which would have fixed
UNIT as the national policy of
the United States. BY this action,
1t may have "shelved" for this
session, and for the 32nd Con-
gress, all legislation of this ma
ture. In doing so, judging from
what one is able to learn about
th. temper of the country mot
the Observation-Disclosures senti-
ment in this city, the House did
what the majority Of the people
wanted.
But the UNIT bill was one of
the most bitterly contested pieces
of legislation the House has had
to wrestle with in a long time.
The members were subjected to
many arguments and much press.
ure. Those who voted for and
those who voted against the
measure spent many hours in
making up their minds. AS far
as one can judge, not many Of
the Congressman had a wholly
easy time in coming to their in
dividual decisions. Congressman
were subjected to some abuse in
connection with the debate, and
ii is likely that some of them
will continue to be villified.
One Washington paper, for ex-
ample, unleashed an editorial
broadside on the very eve OF the
voting against those in the House
who opposed UNIT. 1t spoke of

common to some centuries as al
most unknown in our own. And
perhaps clever theologian could
also chart the differences in sin,
committed in one culture or one
century.
1t is, obviously, task for the
expert, not for the flaneur nor
the amateur. But one apparently
obvious starting place for such
a one lies in the question of
pride in devout and in unbeliev-
ing societies.
Sometimes, of course, in every
age men forget this fact and act
against their faith. Lucifer did
it, and Adam and Eve did it. The
sin of pride does involve just
this swelling of belief in the ego
to the insane point at which 1t
imagines itself able to outwit or
do without its God. But efforts to
do so, in believing times, usually
end in such utter failure and
humbling catastrophe that the
proud man repents of his lunacy
and falls upon his knees in hum
bleC worship. And if it is the God
of Love he has defied, then his
humility is sweetened and deep
ened by sorrow for the bias
phemy itself, for the betrayal
that preceded 1t.
Atheist Pride
That, perhaps, is how pride
arises and recedes when men
have a God whom they know, in
their hearts, to be stronger than
they. But not all men today, nor
nearly all, admit a God. Many
a man finds the heavens bare of
angels wings and as hollow to
the sound of raised human pray
ers as if it were shell of brass.
An atheist criminal shows
pride when he attempts 10 pit
his abilities against the police;
but men hare deceived the po-
lice. His pride is far less, then,
than that of the believer who,
tries to deceive God Himself.
Men show pride when they try to
dominate other people and bend
them to their wills: but there
have been successful dictators in
our times, and the urge to con-
troll others is not utterly out
of reason.
Men without faith may show
their pride by acting against the
laws of health and of nature.
Icarus once was proud, indeed,

@. What is the gift of tongues?

Q. What IS the gitt OF tongues?
A. In his first letter to the Cor
inthians st. Paul speaks of this
miraculous gift which was grant
ed by God freely in the early
Church, and the second chapter
of the Acts of the Apostles gives
instances. After the descent of
the Holy Ghost the Apostles "be-
gan to speak in foreign tongues,
even as the Holy Spirit prompted
them to speak," and the pilgrims
from all over the world under
stood them. st. Francis Xavier
and other apostolic men had this
gift, but this extraordinary power
is granted by God only for a
constructive reason. st. Paul
gave the principle: "But now,
brethren, if come to you speak
ing in tongues what shall | profit
you, unless / speak to you either
in revelation, or in knowledge,
or in prophecy, or in teaching?"

@. Please explain the gene1I-
ogy of the Mother of God.
knot1 st. Ann and st. Joachim,
but aohere is it IN the Bible?
A. The genealogies of st. Matt
hew and st. Luke give the an
cestry of st. Joseph the husband
of Mary as the genealogy for
Christ, but from the same &C
counts we know that st. Joseph
was not His father, except in a
legal and spiritual sense. Mary,
of the same family as Joseph, fol-
lowing the Jewish custom, has
the same genealogy, but the
names Joachim and Anne are
traditional, and many details of
the family are based on apocry-
phal literature such as the Cos
pei of Pseudo-Matthew. At least
a generation or so back Joseph
and Mary had the same ances-
tors, both being of the family of
David, but the Jewish custom re-
corded descent only through the
male line.
Q. Why does the Catholic
Church oppose Temperance?
A. At the top of the scale of
virtues, as st. Paul reminds us,
is charity, with the other theolog-
ical virtues of faith and hope, fol-
lowed by the cardinal virtues,
prudence, justice, fortitude and
temperance. They will be found
in every Catholic catechism and
spiritual manual, so It can scarce
ly be said that the Catholic
Church opposes temperance. No
doubt you refer rather to total
abstinence or to legal prohibi-
ton, but it is not accurate to say
that the Catholic Church offic-
tally opposes prohibition, and
she has always accepted as an
important virtue the practice of
total abstinence. The Church does
not believe in adding obligations
which exceed those handed to
