Casters Inspiring Crowds

The great crowds of people attending Mass oil
Easter Sunday were truly most inspiring. Still more
inspiring was the sight of so many receiving the
Sacrsments during this time. Our clergy everywhere
report tremendous numbers al the Communion
railngs of our churches, and capacity attendance
at all Masses last Sunday.
II is not easy to give the explanation for this
II Is true that the Catholic population could be ex
pected TO increase along with the total population
But last Sundays inspiring spectacle would indi
cate that the numbe. Of Catholics has increased ia
more proportionatey than has the general popula
ton
Or could IL be that religion has become more
popular and that some of the lax have become
more active? There is no priest active in the care
OF souls but what report that ii all those who
should be Catholics regular in fulfilling their
religious duties. the attendance would be amazing
Lax souls and fallen aways are found at every turn
But even this does not seem TO be the full explain
alton of last Sundays attendance: for il is likel,
that not too many Of the lax Catholics we're at Mass
Some of the answer may be found in the fact tha.
each Sunday quite number miss Mass for one
reason or another. So many work on Sundays IN
this age of progress that they unable to be pres
ent for their religious duty in accordance with the
command of Almighty God that on SIX days We shall
work and on the seventh, rest.

WASHINCTON LETTER
Sm0!dering Fire In Israel

Agency had been able TO pro-
vide better communal services
for a camp in Jericho than at
any other camp they say, but
this was still far from enough.
There, she said, one doctor
Strove to care for upward of
1900 men, women and chill
dren, all of whom their guide
said were subsisting on a diet
sufficient only for slow starva-
tion.
Really important aid is being
rendered to the Arab refugees
through the Pontifical Mission
for Palestine, of which an Amer
lean, Msgr. Thomas }. Mcmahon
of New York, is president. The
Mission is pursuing a really for
ward-looking program. Ii is try
ing to feed every refugee it can,
but il is going beyond this and
trying to save the refugees for
future usefulness. Ii is educating
the children and it is giving EN-
ployment to all it can, creating
work wherever it can. For ex-
ample, the refugee men work on
the school building erected by
the Mission for the education of
the children.
Unfortunately, the Pontifical
Mission cannot handle the whole
problem, or give it a permanent
solution.

The Greatest Thing
In The World

We would like TO bring 10 ths attention OF ell
what consider TO be outstanding editorial
which appeared recently in the Columbus {. |. O.
News. the official weekly publication Of the coIvm-
bus {. l. o. Council. The editorial follows in full:
Sunday school class recently sent out a survey
question to leading state and city officials. The
question was, What is the greatest thing in the
world"
One answer was FAITH. A second answer was
that all men equally responsible before God
third answer was the dwelling of the Holy Spirit
And so forth
While all these answers are good in themselves
they do not give complete and overall picture OF
the point raised in the question. Ii is understood
that many officials receive a good deal of CORES
pondence which they cannot reply TO with much
preciseness and detail as they would like
Therefore let us look into the matter and ponder
What is the greatest thing in the word?" We
might reason thusly since the world is transitory
and since we who live in the world are transitory
the greatest thing must be that which will give
meaning to the existence of both. 1t must be that
upon which the world and ourselves depend
And that thing is God.
II is He for whom the bells toll II is He for whom
the universe in unchanging clocklike preci-
sion. II is He for whom frail bodies and minds
suffer the mseries of life. Therefore il is He
God Almighty Creator of heaven and earth and of
all things visible and invisible who is the greatest
Thing in the world and out of the world.
II also follows that any degree of greatness
is but reflection of greatness itself All creation
cries out in some degree the beauty. the magnific
ence. the wisdom the mercy. the Justice the char
ity of the Supreme Being
The brook babbes in delight; the birds sing in
rapture; the grass shrubs, trees reach toward heav
en-; the raindrops dance with Joy; the
in light fondness
And man. the greatest of all His creations reach
es for eternity for il is written ITO know God is
to have eternal life"

The Violin Or The Bow

There are many variations of the old argument
which is more important: the violin or the bow?
In point of actual fact the argument is silly
ways and yet it has some points
No one would argue on the relative worth of the
bow and the violin bow costs only small fraction
of what the violin itself is worth To artist arriv
ing on the stage though and finding he has no bow
we'll then the slender instrument would assume
value in his eyes all out of proportion
The argument is rather unfair, too, for it is
forcing unsolvable dilemma upon One never
has to choose absolutely between the violin and the
bow. They were made TO go together. Without each
other they would become highly unusefu for the
purpose for which they intended
Say what you WILL in similar way, our Holy
Religion depends for its furtherance among man
kind on the Holy Priesthood. Were there priests
there would be spread of religion; without the
strengthening grace of the Sacraments Faith
would soon wither.
AS each individual thinks of what the priesthood
means to him, let him offer fervent prayer of
thanks to God and beg Him for many vocations
to the Diocesan priesthood.

the first time since the Spanish
American war, over so years ago,
a high official of the Spanish
government has set foot in the
Philippines. His reception has
been overwhelmingly cordial and
enthusiastic.
The Spanish press has been
filled with the most glowing ac-
counts of the triumphal progress
of Minister Martin Artsjo and
his entourage everywhere in the
Philippine Republic The Phil
ippine Free Press of Manila
is quoted as saying that Amer
leans resident in the Philippines
have been astonished at the
warmth of sentiment the visit
has engendered, and that it has
become quite evident that the
emotional attachment of the
Philippine people to their for
mer mother country has by no
means vanished. The visit has
been the occasion for literal
outburst of pro-Spanish feeling
and a renewed effort to increase
interest in the Spanish language
and its propagation and to re
store it to some of the dignity
it held in the past.
Past Wiped Out
Politically and economically
the visit will probably have
important repercussions in the
orientation of the Philippines.
The degree to which the rivalries
and misunderstanding of the
past have been overcome was
the floral offering of the Span
ish Minister at the monument
to the Philippine hero, Jose Ri
zal. Two generations have suffic-
ed to wipe out the memory of a
tragic past. The feeling for Spain
seems to be new and vigorous
force in this Far Eastern repub-
lie.
Last year in Madrid, I was
struck by the hundreds of Phil.
ippine students now flocking to
Spanish universities, to the con-
stant movement back and forth,
in spite of the distance, to the
cultural and scientific missions
that move from one country to

INQUIRY CORNER

Q. Is not the st. Christopher
medal a form of superstition?
Hoio is it different from a good
luck charm such as rabbits
foot or four-ledf cloUer?
A. Superstition consists in
crediting a thing with power
which it does not have. Ordin-
arily it consists in looking to
someone or something for some
effect which could come from
God alone as in making use of
charms, dreams, fortune-tellers
or spiritists. The st. Christopher
medal is a sacramental and is
used as sign of prayerful rev.
erence for the saint. Some peo-
pie may use this and other sac
ramentals superstitiously, but
they ignore Catholic teaching on
sacramentals when they do so.
There is no power in a living or
dead rabbit - or its foot, nor
in the clover to help us except
in their use as food, etc. II is
superstition to expect help or
injury from any inanimate thing,
but the ST. Christopher medal
serves as a silent reminder of
st. Christopher, whom we honor.
@. Who CdS st. Veronica?
A. The Catholic Encyclopedia
describes her as pious matron
of Jerusalem, who accompanied
Christ to Calvary and offered
Him a towel on which He left
the imprint of His face" There
are numerous legends about her
and she has been variously iden-
titled as the woman with an is
sue of blood" whom Christ cured
and Pilates wife. The Benedic-
tine Book of Saints" does not
list her, nor does the Roman Mis-
sal. In Prat's Jesus Christ"
(Volume I'D the account of Yer
onica's veil is called uncertain
and it is stated that the Veronica
episode does not appear in the
Stations of the Way of the Cross
until 1885. In the Catholic En-
cyclopedia her feast day is listed
as July 18th.
@. What is the Liturgy? Wig
are there carnations e.q. oriental
customs?
A. The Liturgy is the exercise
of public worship to Church
regulation. 1t includes all pray
ers, ceremonies and functions is
sed by the Church and perform
ed by official ministers in the
name of the Church. Such pri-
vate devotions as the Stations
and the Rosary are not includ-
ed, but there is no conflict be-
tween the Liturgy and private
devotion. The celebration of
Mass, administration of the Sac
raments land Sacramentals), the
recitation of the Divine Office
and certain professions and
benedictions are included in the
Liturgy. There are variations
in the Liturgy in fact the
Oriental Churches have ordin-
