Christ's triumphal entry into
Jerusalem, the elIes of Hosanna
and Alleluia so quickly turned to
shouts of hate and derision, the
institution of the Blessed Eucha-
rist, the Last Supper the betrayal
and Crucifixion all viii stand

background OF our own lives

good that comes from reading

current popular titles. Catholic
adult education is largely a mat
ter of adult reading
"Only few individuals are able
to take specific course, but prac-
tically everybody @an read in Cath
Ollie literature the things that are
accommodated to his condition. BY
this reading We can carry on in our
home program of Catholic adult
education. "
Parish Libraries are well estab-
lished in Chicago and Milwaukee

source and patron of Christian cul-
ture; morality in public office; ne
cessity of globai thinking; labor's
responsibility in the American way
Of life; and the family as viewed
by materialists and Christians.

Sisters Of Sick Poor Plan Benefit April 10

"As long as you did it to one
of these My least brethen, you
did it to Me-" With these
words of Christ in their hearts,
the EliZabethan Guild men,
bers are again working toward
their Annual Benefit Party to as
sist the Dominican Sisters of the
Sick Poor financially in their care
of the sick and poor of this city.
In the selling of tickets, gathering
door prizes, sewing aprons to be
sold that evening along with col
lecting antiques, they are each in
their own way assisting the Sisters
to carry on the work of their be-
loved foundress, Reverend Mother
Mary Walsh.
The story of Mary Walsh goes
back to 1876 when she was then
just a young immigrant recently
out of Ireland and employed as a
domestic for a wealthy New York
family. She was hurrying to work
one August morning when she
spied child sobbing miserably
in the doorway of slum area.
OF course, if Mary Walsh had
had good sense she would have
kept right on going and gotten
to work on time. But there was
something appealing about the
child. She stopped TO say kind
word, and one word led to another
and led her up to the fourth floor
back of a rickety tenement house
where a woman lay nortally i'll on
bed of rags and dead child lay
beside her.
"Glory be to God" said Mary
Walsh, as, dismissing all thoughts
OF her employers laundry prob
lens for that day. she rolled up
her sleeves and set to work, and
thus was started the Dominican
Sisters of the sick poor.
Mary Walsh was of cheerful,
sunny disposition. the deadly foe
of all pretense. In one sense she
was not professional social work
er. The motive for her work was
a religious one, though her minis

Catholic Ladies
Ask Change. In
UN Covenant
Seek To Eliminate The
Word Dissolution" In
Article On Marriage

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(NC)
speaking for Catholic women
throughout the world, a consult
ant asked a United Nations Com
mission on the Status of Women TO
drop from proposed covenant
reference to the dissolution" of
marriage.
The term, which originally ap-
peared in Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, is widely interpret
ed as a general sanction by the
United Nations of Divorce" and is
therefore offensive to the con-
science of millions of women, Miss
Catherine Schaefer, consultant of
the World Union of Catholic Wom-
ems Organizations. stated.
Miss Schsefer spoke before a
commission currently studying the
status OF women in private law
after France and Pskisian had pre-
sented a resolution asking that a
proposed Covenant of Human
Rights include q sentence from
Article 16 of the Universal DecIsr-
alton OF Human Rights which states
that men and women "sre entitled
TO equal rights ss TO marriage. dur
ing marriage, and ut IFS dissolU-
fion."
She expressed agreement that
legislation should recognize that
husbands and wives have equal
rights and that this should include
cases where SERIOUS discords rem
der legal separation necessary" :"
But she pointed out that the World
Union of Catholic Wom,n's Organ
izations had from the beginning
opposed the introduction of the
term dissolution" in this article
since il seemed TO sanction dis
ruptive influence in society.
Miss Sehaefer suggested that
the commission should empief the
wording: "AII persons shall have
equal rights before law in all mat
rimonisI matters" She recommend
ed that with this change all of Ar
ticle Is, which is q comprehensive
article. on the family, be included
in the covenant.
All of Article is. including the
"dissolution" reference, was adopt
ed for inclusion in the covenant
by { unanimous vote of 1870, with
five nations abstaining, including
the US. Britain and the Neither
lands.

Urge Religious
Training In ALI
(IaSSrOOn1S

PROVIDENCE. r. I.-(NC)-Urg-
Ing Protestant ministers to support
Providence's released time pro-
gram for the religious education of
public school children, two spokes-
men expressed the hope that pub
lie school cIassrooms will someday
be used for such classes.
Representing the National Coun-
ell of Churches of Christ, DR.. Ed
win Shaver stated that the SUI
preme Court decision in the Nc
Collum case forbidding use of pub
lie school buildings and machin-
cry for sectarian religious educa-
ton. established ridiculous" de-
gree of separation of Church and
State. He said the Supreme Court
Is now emphasizing cooperation"
rather than separation.
Another speaker, DR.. Walter M.
Hewlett, executive secretary of the
Greater New York Coordinating
Committee for Released Time of
Catholics, Protestants and Jews,
commented on the McCollum de-
cision and stated that 1--WE ought
not to break the law as it now
stands" He suggested that when
the time comes" be believes the
law should be "overthrown"
The two speakers said that re-
leased time from public schools
for religious education is workable
and desirable. Dr. Shaver reported
that between $500 and 5000 com
munities now have successful re-
leased time systems in operation.
Dr. Hewlett stated that as re-
suit of the released time system in
New York, 48 TO 81 per cent more
children are getting organized re.
liaious education. This increase, he
said, is distributed among all ma
ior faiths
He urged the clergymen = who
are studying what move they will
take in Providence's released time
programme accept what he de-
scribed as "the biggest evangelis,
tic opportunity ever presented to
the Protestant churches in this
generation"
"How can any Protestant minis.
ter refuse TO use this way TO reach
his constituency" DIR. Hewlett
asked.

Only 10 Priests Still
Free In Bulgaria; Red
Persecution Ruthless

ROME-tNC)-Before Bulgaria
came under Red domination, there
was one priest for every ATS Ca
tholics in the country. Today there
l. only one priest for every $500.
This fact itself is an index of the
ruthless persecution the Catholic
Church has experienced in this
once free and democratic coun-
try
Attention was focused on the re-
ligious plight of the Bulgarian Ca
tholics in an article published here
by CiuiItd Cattolica, Jesuit fort.
nightly, which said that only ten
priests remain free in Bulgaria,
while two of its three Bishops are
In prison and all foreign priests
have been expelled.
The Ciuiltd Cdttolicd article ap-
peared in the wake of the recent
encyclical letter, OrtentdleS EccIeS-
ids. in which His Holiness Pope
Piux XII referred to Bulgaria as
one of the eastern countries where
communism has waged relentless
battle against the Church.
Catholics in BUIssris number
only about $1,000, of whom an es.
timaied 5000 belong TO the Sisv-
Byzantine Rite. This is less than
one per cert of the population OF
little over seven million. Never
theIess. declared CiriltG Cattolic1,
the policy of the Sofia regime has
been completely TO destroy this
minority group.
The Jesuit review declared that
the most tragic aspect of the trial
last year of Bishop Eugene Bossil-
koff of Nikopol, the nations top
Catholic leader, who was sentenc-
ed to be executed, was mot in its
scorn of the most elementary rules
OF procedure and justice, or in the
abominable cruelty of the punish
ment."
The real tragedy, the magazine
said, was that, in addition to the
Bishop and the accused persons in.
volved. the trial was "aimed at
the annihilation of the Catholic
Church in Bulgaria"
Describing Bulgaria as an ad-
vance outpost of the Soviet do
main in the Balkans, CiUtltd Cato
Iicu discussed in detail the various
stages in the progressive antl-Ca-
tholic campaign there. 1t said that
for some years following the war,
the Church had not been subjected
to systematic persecution, although
the priests were sometimes arrest
ed and propaganda attacks against
the Pope were mot infrequent.
The first major sign of the storm
