@. What tOnS the origin of For
III Hours?
1t is a comparatively new de-
votion. II came from the feast
of Corpus Christi which was es-
tablished by Pope Urban " in
1864. At that time there was an
increased devotion TO the Bless
ed Sacrament exposed and the
carnival time just before Lent
was chosen as appropriate. Oft
en- spoiled by excuses the two
days Immediately before Lent
became a time of special honor
to God and of reparation. Later
the celebration was extended to
other times of the year. The
forty hour period too was asso-

the Sacred Body of Christ lay in
the tomb.

WASHfNGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON ~ There will
be considerable opposition to
formal revision of the UN Char
ter when this matters comes up
for action. And not all of it will
originate with Soviet Russia.
There is provision for inter
ested nations to vote in 1855
on whether or not to have a Re
view Conference on me UN
Charter The conference would
be held probably in 1856. if the
vote is in favor of such action.
The American Catholic BiSh-
ops expressed concern over the
UN Charter as early as NoVem-
Der, 1945. They noted that
while undoubtedly an improve
meht on the Dunbarton Oaks pro-
poSals" the Charter docs not
provide for a sound, institution
al organization of the interna-
tional society" Then, indicat-
ing a belief that il might be
changed, the Bishops said From
the provision in the Charter call
ing for a Constituent Assembly
in the future, there comes the
hope that in time the defects may
be eliminated and we may have
a sound, institutional organiza-
tion of the international com
munity which will develop not
through mere voluntary conces-
si0ns of the nations, but from
the recognition of the rights and
duties of international society"

The subcommittee adds that
while the Soviet Union may be
counted upon to do more than
its share of objecting, it would
be erroneous 10 assume that the
Russians and their satellites are
the only obstacles in the way of

that would radically alter their

others, would vigorously object to
any Charter change which would

this does not detract from the fact that in Chriss

The Cardinals evaluation of

Q. VIII a crippled or deformed
person be that t0dg IN hedoen7
II not. hom l0tu it be the
same person. VIII racial differ
ences persist?
A. st. Paul gave the answer to
that. In his words: so also with
the resurrection of the dead.
What is sown in corruption rises
in interruption: what is soWn In
dishonor rises in glory; what is
sown IN weakness rises in power:
what is sown natural body rises
a spiritual body" Il Corinthians
15:42-44) Christian tradition has
assigned to our risen bodies four
qualities drawn partly from this
passage: impassibilitas (mean-
ing that We will not suffer-, clar-
itas GLORIOUS beauty agilitas
Certain angelic abilities especial
ly the power of moving swiftly
through great distances and
subtilitaS "a quality illustrated by
Christ's glorified body when he
entered the room "the door be-
ing shut'). st. Thomas reeogniz-
ed Christ in His glorified body
and He ate with the disciples.
So our bodies will be recogniz-
able and undoubtedly ours. but
the earthly imperfections will be
removed. No one knows about
deformities or qualities we might
consider obstacles to happiness
in heaven, but our point of view
will be so different there that if
they remain in some form they
will not trouble us.
Q. Can anyone predict the
date of the end of the UorLd?
What are some OF the Scriptttrnl
signs2
A Christ gave the practical
command: Watch therefore, for
you do not know at what hour
your Lord is to come" Matthew
24:42). He stated that "of that
day and hour no one knows, not
even the angels of heaven. F"
Mathew 24:36) In the same chap
ter in the preceding verses some
of the signs are given. They in
clude false Christs and false
prophets" and the "sun will be
darkened and the stars will
fall from heaven . In the Apo
calypso there are deep and diff
cult passages (6:12-t7 and 20:1-
10) but none of these prophecies
admit of definite dates as the
conditions (many of them at

iods in history.

In every case, upon examining
the evidence Statistically, DR..
Phelps discovered that labor
leaders are the neglected step

munity. His findings will be re-
vealing even 10 professional stu
dents Of the labor movement. He
reports for example that only
"a labor leaders are included In

phicat entries in the 1950-5I edi

ings.
A similar disparity was discov-
cred in all of the other forms of
public notice associated with
prestige" A few examples will
suffice. In the 1850 Congress
there were only eight trade un-
ionistS as compared with 80
businessmen and 298 lawyers.
During the academic year 1945-
as, only one labor representa-

of Trustees of charitable foun-
dation or community chest. In
1850 only four labor leaders were
included in standard listing of
10000 corporation directors, and
the directorships of these four
were in organizations owned by
unions.
Recommended Antidote
The meaning of all these Stats
tics Is obviously open to discus.
sion. DIR. Phelps, in our opinion,
is inclined to attach a little too
much Importance TO them. He
seems to suggest, for example,
that the continued segregation
of labor leaders from positions
of honor and prestige in the field
of community affairs might pos
Sibly result in a harmful ideo-
logical cleavage between labor
leaders and representatives of
the other functional groups in
society with whom they must CO.
operate. Given the native intel
ligence and common sense of the
majority of US. trade unionists,
this seems TO us rather unlikely.
In any event. there is reason TO
hope that the situation will i'm.
prove rather rapidly within the
foreseeable future.
