Rules for a Happy Life

SOMEONE once asked Alice Freeman
= Palmer the secret Of her happy life. Her
reply was; Here are three simple rules.
Obey them, practice them. and you will be
happy. But mind, you must not skip day !.
THE first rule she said. lis this: com
nit something to memory every day. some
thing good. 1t need not be much just bit
Of poem or Bible verse; three or four
words will do. but you must do it. The sec
ond rule is: look for something beautiful
every day. And remember this is to be done
each day. And my third rule is-now mind,
no skipping - do something for somebody
every day. 1t need not be great thing; but
DO something helpful for somebody other

Final Judgment

Nevertheless, most of us are
called onto pass judgment on others
In various ways And when
we are honest we do try to come
as near to Gods viewpoint as we
can. That is, we try TO take every
thing into consideration. But try
as we may, we must admit first
and last that only God can be
the final judge, for only he has
all the facts. There are many pic
lures of the Last Judgment" in
the Bible and they do not agree
in details, since they are pic
lures Of what cannot really be
imagined. But back Of all the pic
lures. stern, compelling, chilling
as some of them are. we discern
some plain truths One is that
not only is God the final Judge
Of every man, but his judgment
is final because he and only he
has all the facts. and he
does not render his judgment till
all the facts are in. True, Gods
judgment is going on all the time.
and we can read them in history
! can read his righteous sentence
by the dim and daring lamps" as
the poet says. This is true Of men
and nations. that the divine iudg-
ment is interviewer with their
lives. God settles many of the af-
fairs OF this planet, on this planet
But in the ultimate future, and
only then. viii all the facts be in.
No judgment before then, not
even God s, is final.

of them. We cannot well judge the
motives Of an act. because we
mis-read (or read through rose
colored glasses) our own motives,
and the motives Of others we can
do no more than guess at

The Great Separation

All sorts Of efforts have been
made TO duh the force Of Jesus
terrific picture of prophecy Of the
Last Judgment in the parable Of
the sheep and the goats 1t has
been said that this is a judgment
of nations, not Individual persons;
but anyone who can read Greek
can see that is not the case. The
word them" in Matt 1882 plain
ly does not refer TO nations but
to persons. Furthermore, how do
nations" fit into the end Of the
story?) It has been said too that
this is not a separation Of the
saved" from the 'unsaved . But
the issues of the Trial, as Jesus
pictures it, are eternal life and
eternal death The fact is. this
is Jesus picture Of the Last
Judgment OF mankind, and there
is no getting out Of it. At least
two points stand out, etched as
it were by fire. One is that the
final judgment against man is
not necessarily for what he has
done but for what he didn't do;
did not even think about doing.
The other point is that the
basis Of judgment is man s
human relations True. dseper
than that is a mans relationship
to Christ; but in this parable,
Christ Identifies himself complete
ly with the troubled sufferers Of
the world What we do, or do not
do, about human misery, We do
or fail To do for the Lord.

New Parishes

The number of new parish
es and schools since 1914
dramatically illustrate tn e
growth of the Columbus Dio-
cese under the leadership of
Bishop Michael ]. Ready.
The list Of parishes and schools
established during the Bishops
episc0pacy reads somewhat like a
litany.
The new parishes include st.
Michsel's in Worthington, Our

FOresaW Diocesan Growth
Mission Activity

Soon after completing a
survey of the Diocese to
which he had been appointed,
Bishop Ready turned his at
tention to the relationship be-
sween the Diocese and the mis-
Sions, both home and foreign.
His Excellency had been dioce-
san director of the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith in the
Diocese of Cleveland and therefore
was well aware of the Pontifical
directives underscoring the par
ticipation in the missions necessary
for all Catholics worthy Of the
name.
In particular he encouraged the
Society for the Propagation of the
Faith, the Church's official mis-
sion-aid society for all the laity.
For the children he asked the es-
tablishment of the POntifical AS
sociatiOn OF the Holy Childhood in
all parishes whereby Catholic chill
dren would help the children in
pagan lands.
In the high schools His Excel
lency encouraged the program of
the Catholic Students Mission Cru
sade. This very active POntifical
Society organizes the mission
study, prayer and sacrifice of high
school students. Many missionaries
have come from the ranks of the
Crusade. A
Bishop Ready expanded the dio-
cesan office of the Propagation Of
the Faith so that all mission Of
ferings, Mass intentions, and equip
ment for the missions could be for
warded efficiently.
He established the Missionary
Cooperation Plan whereby mission
aries would preach in each parish
on a Sunday. instructing the peo-
pie in the, missions of particular
area and asking for their aims and
prayers. ..
During the Episcopacy of Bisb-
op Ready over a million and half
dollars have been sent TO the mis-
siOns. both home and foreign from
the Diocese. and five priests, one
Sister and one Brother have gone
to the service of the foreign mis-
Sions.
His Excellency established four
mission parishes in the Diocese
Our Lady of Sorrows. West Ports

st. Paul, Midvale, and st. Edward,

been provided for the missions at

NeU Schools

To keep up with the bullying at
tendance, which has increased al
most 40 per cent since the close
of World War ii, Bishop Ready
established elementary schools at
st. Michael's. Our Lady of Peace,
Christ the King, st. James the
Less, st. Christopher, Holy Spirit,
st. Gabriel, st. Agnes and st. An
drew.
Moreover, the merger of st.
Mary's and Holy Redeemer in
Portsmouth and st. Nicholas and
st. Thomas in GAINESVILLE, produc-
ed two new high schools, Notre
Dame in Portsmouth and Bishop
Rosecrans in GAINESVILLE. Other
new high schools included st.
Mary's in Dennison and Bishop
Watterson in Columbus.
Watterson, in fact, is the first
of projected new high schools TO
be built from funds raised in the
Diocesan Development Drive of
1853. The second, Bishop Hartley
high school. will open in the fall,
and two new central Catholic high
schools are under construction In
Marion and Newark.
New buildings also have been OPP
ened at st. Vincent de Paul School
Mt. Vernon; st. Francis de Sales,
Newark; Sacred Heart in New
Philadelphia; Holy Name, Colum-
bus, and st. Mary, Columbus. In
addition, expansion projects have
added more than 800 classrooms
to schools in the diocese.
Probably the most significant
fact in the six-million dollar build
ing program is the fact that nearly
5000 youngsters are enrolled In
Catholic schools which did not
even exist in 1914.
The necessity of the building
program, incidentally, is demon
strated by the more than 25,0OO
students enrolled in the diocesan
schools. Each September, new
enrolment record is set.
Progress under Bishop Ready is
also mirrored in score of other
school events. The Bishop called
for the organization of Parent
Teacher Associations in all dioce-
san schools, established a Dioce-
san Guidance Center, federal
lunch program, q school lunch
workshop, and arranged for Cath
Olic schools in Columbus to re-
eeive city health services.
In one of his early pastoral let
ters, Bishop Ready expressed his
desire TO encourage the devoted
parents of our parishes with re-
newed zeal in the cause Of Chris
tian education" The record in the
last Is years indicates that his
wish was fulfilled.

of the Columbus Diocese the
need to modify and expand
the agencies and institutions
of the Diocese which concern
themselves with the mission of
mercy and charity.
Catholic Welfare Bureau
On Sept. IS, 1945, Bishop Ready
established the Catholic Welfare
Bureau, giving it responsibility for
coordinating and directing pro-
gram of charity to meet the needs
of the people of the Diocese.
Under his direction and the able
leadership of Monsignor William
Kappes, who was appointed the Di-
ocesan director of charities. the
Bureau embarked on a child care
program.
In 1945, the Diocesan children's
institutions were crowded. Chill
dren remained in them longer than
the time generally approved by
child care experts. it b
The institutions had been found
ed to care for orphans and chill
dren from INDECENT families. These
conditions had changed with the
years and the reasons why chill
dren needed care were chiefly
sickness of parent, absence of
one parent from the home, inabili-
ty of parents to control children.
Family counseling was the great
need so that distressed and bewil-
dered families could marshal their
own resources to provide care for
themselves.
The Catholic Welfare Bureau
gave counseling the first consider
alton and accepted responsibility
for enabling parents to place their
children in st. Vincent's Orphan
age and st. AIMS Infant Home.
Institutional population saw a
sharp decline as parents received
financial aid and counseliDg. FOs-
ter homes also were found for a
number of children and an aver
age Of 40 children now reside in
such homes.
The institutional popu a { o n
went from an average OF 300 chill
dren to 120 children who now live
In the newly built Family type"
housing units at st. Vincent's.
BY 1858 juvenile courts and
Child Welfare Boards of most of
the counties in the Diocese were
turning to the Catholic Welfare
Bureau for cooperative arrange
ments when Catholic children
needed placement.
BY the end of 1855 the Welfare
Bureau was annually providing
care for approximately 20 pre-
delinquent and delinquent boys
and girls who needed training.
In addition TO cOunseling the
Welfare Bureau almost from its
beginning helped unmarried moth
ers. The Bureau offered help eli
ther by arranging care at st. AIMS
Maternity Home and in private
homes or, when ii seemed better.
at maternity homes in other cities.
Even after the rush of problems
born OF World War ii had subsid-
ed the Bureau continued TO help
about 90 unwed mothers each year.
Branch offices of the Bureau
were set up in Newark and Zanes-
vile in 1949 and 1850.
At st. AIMS, an outpatient clinic
was opened during 1851 TO provide
prenatal and postnatal care for
poor mothers. The clinic became
resource for unwed mothers who
live at st. AIMS Maternity Home
or In the area.
In 1854 st. AIMS began an edu-
cational program for young en-
gagged and newly married couples
to give information and inspira-
tion promoting wholesome and
happy family life. More than ZOO
