Book Recalls Titanic Prejudice

We have just finished reading Night to

bewidering events that followed her hitting
an iceberg at 11:40 pm. on Sunday, April IA,
1912. This is a fascinating book put together

apparently read every extant scrap of informa-
ton on the tragedy and interviewed every
living soul who had knowledge of those last

shown in his birth and of how the name John
was given to him: and with his father, Zachary,
she exults, BLESSED be the Lord, the God of
Israel, because He has visited and wrought re-
demption for His people"
And the Gospel of the Fifth Sunday after
Pentecost which this year comedies with the
Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist, is a
summons to all of us to turn from the ways of
weakness and compromise, such as the world
condones today to answering adherence to
righteousness as exemplified by John. "Uness
your justice exceeds that of the Scribes and
Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of
heaven" is the warning of Christ himself We
must practice justice to please God, and to
comply with His Law; and the justice of which
Christ speaks embraces, II is clear, all of mans
obligations to his Creator and Redeemer. II
we Great our neighbor, our injustice offends
God; and if we hate our neighbor, or refuse
to relieve his hardship when it is in our power
to do so, we are as surely guilty of injustice,
because we are doing what we have no right to
do This is the great Christian doctrine of love of
neighbor, for the love of God; this is the Wig
orous comprehensive justice that is demanded
of u.s.
II is men of strength who are needed today,
to make straight the way of the Lord" for our
society is given over to courses of weakness,
and expediency, and compromise. May we find
in John the Baptist the example and inspiration
to do our part ito prepare for the Lord perfect
people"

Sundays liturgy centers around the stalwart,
ascetic figure of John the Baptist, whose sanctity
was proclaimed before he was born and of whom
Christ Himself declared: "Among those born
of women there has not arisen a greater than
John the Baptist" more than prophet" the
Savior called him, for John was chosen by God
to be the precursor of His Son, to preach the
doctrine of repentance, ito phepare for the
Lord perfect people"
"He shall be great before the Lord" said Ga
briel "and shall be filled with the Holy Ghost
even from his mothers womb and many of the
children of Israel he shall bring back to the
Lord their God . :" OF himself John said II
am the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make straight the way of the Lord" And for
thus summoning men to justice and righteous
ness, out of the wilderness" of evil, John was
done to death by tyrannical king whose sinful
life he had denounced
But it is Johns birth not his death, that
the Church celebrates on Sunday, calling the
day one which God made worthy of honor"
and applying to John the words of tie Psalm
list: "The just man shall flourish like the palm
tree; like the cedar of Lebanon he shall grow"
She recalls his virtues, that we may initiate
them, and his holy spiritual strength, that made
him master of himself and unafraid of the
enmity of the ungodly.

that many thousands have

that all kinds of slanderous
confessions were accepted"
And so it went. Communist
evidence was piled upon COM
munist evidence that the Reds
did resort to diabolical meas
ures to bring about the "con-
viction" of those whom they
sought TO destroy. All through
this narrowing address, Khru-
shchev claimed the commun-
lists were deserving of better
treatment at the hands of COM
munistS. He made no such
claim for non-communists.
Especially did he m a ke no
such claim for rellgionists -
those who propagate "the op-
ium of the people"
1t is thought here that Khru-
shchev saw a very real need
to try to head off a deteriora-
tion of morale within the Com
munist Party in Soviet Russia
and within satellite states. In
doing so, he felt it necessary
to confess openly some things
which have been clear to the
rest of the world, but which
Russian Reds and their follow
ers abroad have been unwill-
ing to admit. And if these
things could happen to high
Communist Party officials, how
much more likely are they to
have happened to non-com-

can doubt now that the relig-

lands were the victims of a
vicious perversion of the me-
chanics of justice.
The denunciation of Josef

February "a and Is, should

A purported text of the

Stain has been released here.
1t shows that Stain ruthlessly
employed the Soviet legal ma
chinery to wipe out opposition,
or persons he suspected of op-
position.

The next question to ask is
whether one is lovable her
self. A person has to be the
right partner, not only find
one. Mike couldn't love Jane
if she were like poison ivy.
Many a girl wastes her time
trying new bats on her hook,
when if she got a bite she
couldn't possible hold him.
Many a girl then has to start
a campaign of self-improve-
ment and can never afford to
rest. She has a happy dispo-
sition and a cheerful outlook
on life. She is loyal, admires
him. She can think of no one
she would rather select as the
father of her children. She
understands and defends him.
She is neat, clean, WELL
groomed. She is considerate
and never takes advantage of
his generosity. She takes an
active part in church, school
and community activities. She
gets along we'll with their rel
atives and friends. She is sin

"materialistic. both conceptual
ly and in practice"
Moreover, he says Quoting
with approval from an article
by Father Coogan of the Uni
versity of DetroiD that associa-
tion with these unions "can
lead the worker astray to ma
terialism and 'mbue him with
a false concept of life eventual
ly made known by harsh claims,
unjust methods and the omis-
sion of the collaboration neces-
sary to the common good" In
the light of this sweeping in
dictment, his subsequent dis
tinction between good unions
and bad unions is for all prac-
tical purposes utterly meaning
less. For, presumably, any un-
ion "materialistic, concept
ually and in practice" is a bad
union by Christian standards.
Father Keller is entitled to
his opinion about the unions of
the United States, but its inn
plieations are too serious and
far-reaching to 60 unchalleng-
ed. First of all, such opinion is
not borne out by an examina-
tion of the record. Some un-
ions in this country have adj
mittedly made harsh claims,
used unjust methods and failed
to cooperate with industry for
the common good, but they are
the exception.
In practice as we'll as In theil
basic philosophy, the majority
of these unions-and the ma
