RICHARD PATTEE
Church In Finland

the Church in Finland is funda-
mental free to carry out its
task. Only two specific legal re-
strictlons exist-agalnst the JeS.
uits and against the establish
ment of monasteries or large re.
ligious communities. The latter
is aimed primarily at the Rus.
sion Orthodox but applies equal
ly 10 Catholics. The law states
that no religious community or
monastery may accept foreign
candidates but must limit them
TO those of Finnish nationality.
The original purpose was to re.
strict the Orthodox communi-
ties since most OF their members
were Russian. Today these Or
thodox monasteries are slowly
dying with no possibility of re-
cruitment locally.
The three women's religious
communities here of which |
have written, obviously do not
fulfill this condition. Since they
are small, no effort is made to
force them 10 abide strictly by
the law. But if the Benedictines
or the Cistercians were to es-
tablish a large monastery here
with property and land for ag-
riculture, they would certainly
find that the law was against
them.
One Odd Angle
Although Finland may be said
to be free for the penetration in
general of Catholicism, public
opinion must always be taken in
to account. Father de Caluwe
told me the other day that he
had spoken twice over the radio
in Helsinki. and Immediately a
number of Lutheran pastors pro-
tested against this "favoritism"
TO Catholics. ii was not illegal
nor was there anything to be
said against. such pronounce
ments, but it is clear that if Ca
tholics become too active, there
will certainly be disquietude on
the official side.
The last remark regarding the
Church in Finland is that there
is no impediment to Catholicism
becoming one of the state re-
ligions. This may sound odd.
Since Lutheranism and Ortho-
doxy already are state religions
that is. supported by the State
Catholicism could become so
too. The Vicar Apostolic has re
fused anything of this sort be
cause of the dangers inherent IN
total state support.

she Is partly responsible for this
mental and moral falling on his
part. The advice of the priest in
confession should be sought. and
the prayers of the children of

9. What is the canon of the

A. Ii is the body of prayers
which begins after the Sanctus
and ends with the Amen before
the Pater Noster. 1t comes from
The Greek word for rule" and
Is the most fixed and regular
part of the Mass. The present
day Canon in the Roman Missal
IS that of st. Gregory the Great
and goes back, therefore, to the
end of the sixth century.

rent so the landlord asked us TO
more. Noi0 tCe aoould like to pau

hare lost track of HIM. What can
lCe do about this?
A.~The amount of effort should
be proportioned to the amount
OF money involved. If it is a con-
siderable amount (e.g. fifty dol
lars or more) the debtor should
make definite inquiries to find
the address or the creditor. If
reasonable. attempts to discover
him fail, and even for a small
amount proportionate effort
must be made, the money NAV
still be raid TO his heirs or To
him If he demands it later. In
the case of money obtained by
fraud restitution has to be made
TO charity if the true owner cam
not be found, but in this case
there was no deliberate injustice
done at the time the debt was
incurred. If reasonable effort
fails to uncover him there is no
obligation. In all cases of resti.
tuition the confeSsor should be
consulted about il.
Q. Who is st. Mark
A. He was the author of the
Second Gospel, called "the dis

Barnabas on their first mission.

A. The mote is splinter and
the beam a plank. We see the
smallest faults in our neigh
hors, but miss the greatest ones
in ourselves. 1t did not intend
to discourage fraternal correc-
ton, when we could really help
our neighbor get rid of his

The Daily Worker has good
reason to crowd its pages with
quotations from those non-Com-

into supversion. On August II,
lis first page contains an alleged
declaration by Kenneth J. Kelley,
secretary-treaSurer of the Massa-

that there is greater danger
from McCarthyism than from
Communism. To which he is
reputed TO have added that The

INQUIRY CORNER
What Are Family
Duties Of 4 Father?

Q. What are the duties of
father IN qroiCtng fdniig2 Mg
husband seems TO think all the
d5ScipiiHiHg of our children is
mg job.
A. Canon law expresses the
Church's teaching in Canon
1113: Parents are under grave
obligation to see to the religious
and moral education of their
children, as we'll as to their
physical and civic training, as
far as they can, and moreover TO
provide for their temporal we'll
being" ST. Thomas Aquinas
states: "The child is naturally
something of the father :. so by
natural right the child, before
reaching the use of reason, is
under the fathers care :"
Pope Plus XI cChristian Educa
tion of Youth') urges pastors to
instruct parents in these duties
''by instructions and catechims,
by word of mouth and written
articles widely distributed"
Study clubs and other means are
available for information and in
spiration TO parents, especially
to fathers who may be inclined
to neglect their part. In the same
Encyclical c'ChriStian Educa-
tion"') Pope Plus XI declares
that husband and wife "are des-
tined to complement each other
in the family and in society ;"
Every family responsibility
should be shared.
Q. Gould not the miracles of
Christ be explained By natural
poWers e. g. By suggestion due
to peoples faith IN HIM?
A. No. there are at least nine
miracles described in the Cos
pels which were worked on OBJ
jects, which could scarcely
change by suggestion. Most of
these were done in the presence
of large crowds, containing his
enemies who were searching for
evidence against Him. They in
clude the changing of water into
wine John p, the miraculous
draught of fishes luke 81. the
calming of the tempest MARX A.,
the multiplication of the Ioaves
Matthew Ia and His walking on
the water Mark 81. Among his
miracles of healing some were
done from a distance Matthew
81 as with the centurion's servant
and upon all manner of afflic-
tion including that of man born
blind John 81. We know the
driving out of the devil was mir
aculous. but we do not need to
cite those miracles to prove that
Christ worked miracles, proving
His divine origin The most CON
elusive proof was his raising of
the dead 10 life Matthew 9. Luke
z and John III and His own
resurrection.
q. What can do about nu
husbands excessive drinking?
A. Prayer and good example
with minimum of scolding
yield results if combined with
patient efforts to help the erring
person. Enlisting the help of the
pastor or of some friend of the
family is constructive step. II
the man is an alcoholic a physic-
ian and someone associated with
the Alcoholics Anonymous will
certainly be able 10 help him.

Among the really interesting
house plants. the Christmas cac-
tus is undoubtedly the least COM
monty grown. Usually this holi-
day bloomer is either a JOY or a
disappointment. Perhaps that is
because some consider it a desert
plant and treat it accordingly
Actually. the Christmas cactus
is a tropical plant from the
jungles of Brazil. In that country
the Christmas cactus is found
growing on the branches Of trees
where it is always in light shade
and in a moist atmosphere. Per-
hapS, if we keep this in mind,
we can enjoy more pleasing
show with this Christmas season
bloomer.
The Christmas cactus. Epi-
phyllum truncatum, is a sprawl
ing plant that makes its best
showing when grated upon the
stem of a Stronger-gro
cactus, such as the Pereskia. Or.
if possible, have the potted
Christmas cactus on a tall stand
so that the trailing branches
will display their flowers in an
attractive manner.
Each blossom lasts several
days. Blossoms are borne in a
continuing profusion for several
weeks-November through jan
uary-on a well-grown plant.
Cultural Practices.
The culture of the Christmas
cactus seems to be one Of re-
straint, or at least timing. Dur
ing the summer the plant may
be placed in a partially shaded
situation in the garden where
nature will water it as needed,
although during the hot dry
months Of July and August sup
Elemental watering should be
given if needed. In the early
part Of September the plant
should be brought indoors. where
watering should be tapered off.
BY the first of October an en-
forced resting period starts and
for the entire month the plant
is kept in a cool. dim situation
with never a drop of water.
Usually in early November
buds will begin to appear and
watering is started. The plant
also should be moved closer to
the window. Watering once
week should be adequate at first
When growth is active the water
ing is more frequent. AS the
buds begin to take form water
ing may need to be checked
because over-watering Is likely
to cause them to drop. This is
the critical stage for the winter
floral display and the gardener
should watch the plant care
fully.

August Is DeudIine
For Fall Gardens

August is the deadline for
planting fall gardens.
That's the reminder from hor-
ticulturists, who point out that
beans, beets, kale, collards, rad
ishes, mustard, spinach, swiss
chard, turnips and turnip salad
may be planted now.
Sow seed thickly to get a good
stand. Firm the soil after plant
ing. Mulch the row with saWdust
or woods mold. Thin to give
the vegetables room to grow and
develop properly.
+ Prepare the soil thoroughly
before planting. Break up all
clods. Be sure to apply plenty of
fertilizer.
Don't water the garden unless
you give the soil a thorough
soaking. Sprinkling the soil does
more harm than good. Cultivate
at the right time to destroy the
weeds when they are small.

Look for a slightly sunken.
smooth. well-calloused scar at

at the netting on the melon. It
should stand out over the whole
surface.
Avoid depending on the feel"
because after many landings
immature melons may become

Life in the Country
The Pick and Shovel Are Torture Tools;
Machines Take Over on The 40 Acres

have found that the pick and
shovel are outmoded instruments
of torture, and remain in exist
ance only because there are oc-
casional holes that have to be
dug in close quarters.
Not long ago I started to dig
a ditch. but I didn't get far with
it. In fact, didn't even get down
16 inches, the depth I was sup
posed to go. I gave up the job
and sent for Mr.. E. L. Lloyd and
his ditching machine.
The fact is, had other bitches
to be dug, and big hole to put a
septic tank in. 1 find that septic
tanks always go bad just at the
time it is most inconVenient, and
of course you have to drop every
thing else and have something
done about them.
With us it meant a whole new
outfit in a new location. 1 am
told that people once dug the
things by hand. but after seeing
the extent of the digging neces-
sary, I am inclined to doubt all
such claims.

with picks and shovels, but does
all his digging with levers. He
is about the fastest digger

That was when Mr.. Lloyd conf

so hard.
