devil and how some of those present accused
Him of accomplishing this by invoking the power
of "Beelzebub, the prince of devils" Rejecting
the blasphemous charge as obviously false
since it implied that the house of Satan was di-
vded against itself, Christ proclaimed that His
power was of God and that 'the kingdom of God
has come upon you" And He called upon His
followers to realize their responsibility to pre-
serve the unity of that kingdom He who is not
with Me is against Me-" He said, land he who
does not gather with Me scatterS.
This is lesson that Lent should have taught
us: that indifference, careIessness, apathy on
the part of Christian is contribution to the
evil designs of the enemy; that if we are not ac-
lively ferventy with" Christ then we are, in
effect in the camp of those who are against
Him.
In the few remaining weeks of Lent then, we
are to prove, beyond question, that we are with"
Christ, living, fervent part of His Mystical Body
helping to bring others to His side by the hu-
mility and sincerity of our lives. Observing the
rules of fast and abstinence as willingly ac
cepted part of our training in self-denial, to
honor Christs total self-sacrifice for us; join
ing eagerly in the prayers and devotions that
keep us in the stream of Christianity, close to
Christ applying TO every thought and action the
teachings of the Savior; thus shall Lent bear
fruit in us and help us deserve the benedcton:
BLESSED are they who hear the word of God
and keep it."

their greatest hopes of conquering the world on

the use OF this color for Our
Lddy?
A. We have only the colors
permitted by the Church:
white (Our Lord, Our Lady
confessors, etc.), red (martyrs),
green epiphany, Pentecost),
violet advent, Lent and black
Cali Souls, Requiem) with rose
as a substitute for violet on
two Sundays of the year. If
the Church someday decides to
permit blue, as it does in a few
places today, we can use it.
Blue seems to have been taken
from the blue of the sky and
the New Testament references
to Our Lady assumed into
heaven etc. The Jewish relig-
ion and some pagan religions
associated the blue of the sky
with heavenly beings.
Q. Are Jacqueltne, Jane and
JesSicn saints names? Jeffrey?
A. Jacqueline is a feminine
form of James and so could
be derived from the Apostles
of that name. Jane too comes
from an Apostle, st. John the
Evangelist or from the femi-
nine Joan (e.g. Joan of Arc).
Jessica is probably derived
from Jesse, ancestor of David
and of the Blessed Virgin and
from a st. Jesse, missionary

Aid to Poland May Be
Gamble Crucial to Reds

stem V. Kaliiarvi, us. Acting
Deputy Undersecretary of

the way toward a workable
Polish economy. Any move in
this direction should help so

Conditions in Poland are by

dom now enjoyed by the Polish
people would have been incon-

Freedom of speech, of the
press, and OF assembly have
made great strides. But the
greatest step forward has been
toward freedom of religion.
Only few days after Gomul-
ka came to power, the Catho-

of his office and his freedom

many bishops and scores of
priests who had been jailed
were free again. The culminat-

A few months ago it was announced that

Greetings everyone. I've resolved

keep or too easy to break. I'd
rather go along. trying to do the

effort. the quitting time never
comes, and the starting time is al
ways now.
May God give us strength to bear
the cross--for we know that we
must bear it. Give us courage for
the battle. for we know that we
must fight it, Give us patience to
endure for we know that we shall
| need it. Give us charity that thinks
no evil, and which will stretch forth
the helpful hand to lift our weaker
| brother out of the mire, rather
than the cruel scorn which passes
him by. or thrusts him further
down. Give us love of truth which
nc temptation can seduce, and no
menace can intimidate
May the clear white page that is
1857 be filled with the zest of good
health. the JOY of accomplishment,
the achievement of resolutions, the
fultillnent of dreams May it take
its place in your book of memories
as one of your happiest years. :.
Our sincere wish is that 1857
treats you so well that when it de-

you'll count 1t among your luckiest
years-richly endowed with good
health. warm friendships. solid
achievement and high happiness.
