Extraordinary Ben Yshoss
How did this remarkable
phenomenon of the restoration
of Hebrew come about? The
original Zionists, even DR.. Theo-
dore Herzl who was the father
of the movement, did not think
of Hebrew as the language OF
the future state. There was
some suggestion that perhaps
Yiddish would do, but this is
obviously the kngud frdncd Of
the Jews from central and east
ern Europe and has nothing to
do with those from the Yemen
or North Africa.
The whole business was the
job of one of the most extra.
ordinary men that has ever
lived, Ben Yehuda. There is, in-
cidentally, first-rate study OF
this energetic and dedicated
Jew by Robert st. John, called
Tongue of the Prophets" II
tells the story of how Ben Ye-
huda established himself in
Jerusalem during the last CEN
tury and began his life work
Of reviving Hebrew as a living
language. Through years of adj
versity and difficulty he kept
at the task until, at the end OF
his life, most 6f the Jews tn
Palestine were actually speak
ing it.
The process of taking a lam
guage that died over 1000 years
ago and adapting it to the needs
of today is no small matter. |

something of a shock to DIS
cover that they actually do IN
practice.
Israel is one of the few ma
tions in the world where al
most all its citizens have had
to learn their mother tongue,
so to speak, after becoming
adults. In most countries the ma
tionals speak the language OF
the country with a reasonably
good accent; in Israel very
large proportion of lsraeiis
still speak very bad Hebrew.
Moreover, there are a vast num-
Der who speak it more or less
but who have not learned 10
write it properly.
Linguistic Unity Hurdle
| have just been reading a
little book by a Hebrew univer-
sity professor, Eliezer Rieger,
called "Modern Hebrew" which
deals with the methods and
techniuues of learning this
language. This competent au-
thority suggests that in all
probability couple of months
Of intensive labor will suffice
to get a good smattering, but
that something like 1900 hours
of hard work will be needed to
write it. This is not frightfully
encouraging when one thinks
that 1900 hours distributed at
saw five hours a day, would
take up year.
One can imagine taking in a
million newcomers over the
past seven years, most of whom
were quite innocent of even the
basic elements of Hebrew, and
molding them into linguistic
unityl The extraordinary thing
is that the Hebrew prevalent In
Israel still bears some resemb-
lance to the Biblical language
of which it is the modern YER
sion.
What, No vowels7

lessly intrigued by languages,
even foreign grammar. Before
visiting Israel | took the pains
to learn the Hebrew alphabet
and could manage, with some
effort, to stumble through a
simple text. The really devast-
stinr thing about the whole
business IL that the beginner

@. 1t seems to me that "pir-
tue is taken as a kind of "sissi-
fled" quality. Why has Chris.
ttanity so deoenerated that
our ideals seem so ,oedk and
utlappeahng to the ,0orld?
Should zoe not emphasize the
manly qualities of Christ more?
A, Words can take on new
meanings but the Collegiate
Dictionary derives virtue from
Latin s'virtus" m Gaming
strength, courage, virtue, from
"vir" meaning man. 1t defines
virtue as moral excellence.
The fact that moral excellence
has sometimes been confused
with hypocrisy and pious pre-
tense, as seen in the "holier-
than-thou" school of action,
does not change the Christian
idea. Christianity has not oe,
generated in this respect, for
the Catholic Church in partic-
ular has always insisted upon
virtue as something fulfilling
the best in human nature. Pls-
to emphasized the cardinal vir.
tues of prudence, justice, fort
itude and temperance, which
are hardly "sissified" if prep
erly understood and applied.
Some sects have twisted them
to their own fancy and made
them ridiculous but the Catho-
lie Church has insisted upon
the supernatural virtues OF
faith, hope and charity as well
as the cardinal moral virtues
and taught them all in a rea-
sonable and appealing way
Virtue makes a man more man
ly and a woman more woman
ly. Wicked and confused peO-
pie have always tried to con-
vince themselves and others
that sin is something good, that
ii shows character, etc. Tie
Rest answer lies in the lives of
Christians who exemplify true
virtue.
Q. Did Christ actually 90 into
He'll after His death? What
about the loordS descended
into hell' in the Apostles
Creed?
A. Until the full revelation
of the New Testament the idea
and the words expressing the
idea of hell were not precise.
The ancient people, including
the Jews, used expressions
which are translated hell" al
though they do not refer ex-
clusively to the place of the
damned. There certainly was a
definite teaching on punish
ment for the wicked in the Old
Testament and the existence
and eternity of hell is clear
from the New. The expression
in the Creed, however, refers TO
the place we usually call Linn

Final week before the senior
play will be long remembered by
Gene Cada, II, who plays the lead
part in "Our Town being present
ed Friday at BIS pm. at Columbia
Falls multi-purpose room.
Cada, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Cada, Columbia Heights, dropped a
log on his leg when he slipped on
the ice. Monday evening he could
hardly walk, and was taken to
the hospital in Whitefish Tuesday
Wednesday noon he returned from
Whitefish to appear in the matinee
for grade school students. Possibil-
ity loomed that he would be play
ing the part on crutches.
Actually as long as the boy feels
better, Director Tony Kadlec wasn't
unduly disturbed by the thought
of one of his actors appearing on
crutcheS.
The stage manager in the play is
the part of an elderly, wise man
who observes and comments on
the events of the town as people
live their lives.
The part of the "stage manager
is considered the largest part in
any American play, and without
Cada, the possibility loomed Of
Kadlec having to be on the stage
with a book reading many of the
lines.
