Our Day of Cladness

the place of the pleasant wholesome recreation
to which part of the Lords Day may properly
be devoted Set aside as a day of rest and
worship, Sunday is becoming time when man
harnesses himself and affronts his Creator.
How far is all of this from the true meaning
of Sunday, the Lords Day, the day of giadnessi
Christ brought joy and exaltation to the
dropsical man when He restored him to health
on the holy day, and it is just such joy that
should be ours, in Gods own design, on every
Sunday It is a day for healing tired worried
hearts and spirits, by turning away from the
cares and trials of everyday life and giving our
selves over to thoughts of God and His almighty
power, and His mercy. In the Mass and the
Holy Eucharist Sunday brings us into Gods very
presence; there is refreshment and peace and
courage; there is vigor for the coming days.
With six days given over to worldly affairs,
all of Sunday is little enough to spend in medi-
tation and spiritual reading and religious exer-
cises; it is pitiful fraud we practice upon our
selves when we substitute artificial pleasures
for the deep and satisfying joys which God be-
slows upon those who pay Him homage upon
His day. God wants His children happy with
Him on the Day of Lord, foretaste of the
eternal happiness He has prepared for those who
serve Him. We serve Him by keeping His COM
the one which calls upon us to acknowledge His
sovereignty by giving Him His day.
In petition for this true happiness for us, st.
Paul prays in Sundays Episte "that, being root
ed and grounded in love, you may be able to
comprehend with all the saints what is the
breadth and length and height and depth, and to
know Christs love which surpasses knowledge,
in order that may may be filled unto all the
fullness of God"
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1956-09-07

The Gospel for the Sixteenth Sunday after
Pentecost tells of how Christ, on certain Sab
bath day miraeulously cured man afflicted
with dropsy, and how He rebuked the Pharisees
for their contention that so sublime an act of
mercy was contrary to the Third Commandment
Like all the other Commandments, He made it
clear, the law requiring that the Sabbath be
kept holy was directed toward mans good, tenn
poral and spiritual, and could not be interpreted
so unreasonably as to cause hardship or prolong
suffering Even the Pharisees with all their
extremism and egalism, would not hesitate, He
reminded them, to rescue one of their animals
on the Sabbath if it had fallen into pit; how
then, could they argue that works of real neces-
sity or real charity were forbidden on the holy
day?
The modern attitude towards the observance
of the Lords Day is not that of the Pharisees
but it is almost as completely astray from the
spirit of the Comr lndment laid down by God
The severity of the Pharisees is not practiced
today; the world instead-and many m.ny
Christians follow tie trend - regard the Lords
Day as time for the minimum of service to
God and the maximum of indulgence for them
selves The test of charity and necessity is not
applied; rather it is the matter of material gain
and physical pleasure that determine how
Sunday shall be spent.
Christians will be found working on Sunday
the same as on any other day, or requiring those
under them to do so; numerous forms of busi-
ness are operated on Sunday, not because this
is required "to honor God or for the good of
our neighbor, of by our own necessity" but
soley for the extra profit that is thus obtained
Commercial amusements, exhausting sports,
coarse revelry--in al too many cases these take

people. But do we always find it? The Anglican
bishop of Hong Kong toured Red China for three
weeks as the guest of the Red government. On
his return home he issued an astounding state
ment. The Christian Church in communist China
sis growing, vigorous, and there is no impedi-
ment to its work"
Even the secular press could not swallow
this whopper. To do so, one newspaper said,
one would have ''to accept the thesis that
mans relation to God is subject to the regula
tion and supervision of the arch-athest, Chou
En-Lai and his goddess colleagues
In his unfortunate slip this Anglican prelate
has done disservice to all Christendom

lie is eager to serve Mass. He
leads In acts of charity. Che
writer is of the opinion that
the inadequate father has be-
come the greatest direct fac
tor in contributing to juvenile
delinquency
And the young woman must
prepare for her vocation. She
is to be homemaker, the sacri-
ficer, the consoler, the helper,
the giver, the conserver, the
lover, the culturalizer.
The liturgy is vigorously ac-
centuated. The Mass and Sacra.
ments are the core of worship.
The liturgy teaches a family to
offer an external sacrifice
which represents their internal
surrender to God. Graces are
received in this Sacrament of
Matrimony in proportion as you
yourself are spiritually pre-
pared and disposed.
Couples can be helped to de-
sire and work towards the sane
tity which would l-erit canon

Americans-by special brides
and bridegrooms' retreats. The
priest orients his talks to the
iiturgical and the vocational
aspects of marriage. A doctor
discusses the couples sharing
in Gods creativeness. Three
married people conduct panel
on domestic virtues.

Q. Is tipping for serUice con-
Stdered obligatory?
A. Since the dictionary re-
fers to a tip as a gratuity and
as a present it would seem that
there is no moral obligation to
tip. In some cases, however, the
tip seems to be considered as
part of the attendants wages
