Morning
Offering

KASEDA. Japan - Coluimpan
Father John Rice, pastor here, was
aroused early one morning by a
persistent ringing of his front
door bell. Standing outside was a
little boy of about ten years,
dressed only in his night gown,
with tousled hair and face un-
washed, clasping something wrap
ped in a piece of paper.
After The usual Japanese
greetings, the little fellow said:
please, will you show me
where God lives? | have some
very special business with
Him."
Father Rice went along to the
church, explained that God lived
in the little box with the white
veil on the altar, and left the
youngster kneeling there. When
he returned to the church some
20 minutes later, it was empty -
but laid on the altar, right in
front of the tabernacle were four
pieces of candy and a cooky.
81 haven't found out who the
toddler was, or what was his
special business that morning"
writes the Columbian missionary,
"but I'm sure the blessing of God
went with him."

Filipino Vocation
IPope's Intention
For November

For the month of November,
Our Holy Father recommends as
the intention for the Apostleship
of Prayer an increase in vocationS
among the Filipino youth.
The reason for his plea is obvi-
Gus - the need is acute, desper-
ate. Changes have taken place in
the Philippines in many ways in
the last half century. Politically
this young nation has taken a
prominent place in the world of
nations. Independent, young and
vigorous, it has left no doubt in
the minds of the other nations of
the East that its future is bright,
hopeful.
The same spirit can be noted in
the Catholics of the Islands. AL
most $500 young men are now
preparing for the priesthood in
seminaries at home and overseas.
III lCNClit yCdlS a lew lllplIlO
Missionaries have been sent to ia
pan and Indonesia.
A deep apostolic interest in the
work of the Church in the East
and their place in that work is
noticeable everywhere. Yet so
much remains to be done, so
many more vocations are needed.
AS we look ahead, there is GER
tainly a great place for this young
Republic and these people in the
future of the Church.
Here alone Communism has
been faced and conquered. Here
alone is there hope that one day
the utter darkness of heresy, ma
terialism, Communism may be
dispelled in the East.
Members of the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith and of
the Apostleship of Prayer will
pray daily for this intention.

With Mary German of San Pc

Americans, including cancer,
heart trouble and the common

No One Finishes
CatechismL

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. - The
Cardinal-Archbishop of Chicago
stressed here that no Catholic
ever finishes his catechism les
sons, be he bishop, priest, Relig-
ious or layman.
Speaking to a regional Contra
ternity of Christian Doctrine
congress, His Eminence Samuel
Cardinal Stritch urged adult CCD
catechism courses, spoke on the
relationship of liturgy and cate
chism, and cautioned that indi-
rect teaching of religion through
good family atmosphere is not a
substitute for direct teaching.
Il have come across people who
somehow feel that when they fin
ish the Baltimore catechism that
they used in grade school, they
have finished the study of cate
chism and they know all about
their religion" the Cardinal said.
Calling this "a sad thing" he
said Catholics must keep working
to increase their knowledge of
religion, particularly in these
days when we can only with diff
ficulty live what we believe"
Because This is so, IL would
be q sorry mistake to exclude
adult eateehism instructions
from the whole work Of cate
ehism instruction in The Con-
fraternity Of Christian Doc
trine," he said.
The c%atechetical work of the
Church in its early ages, he con-
tinued, anticipated the life of the
liturgy of the Church. "It would
be a mistake to identify the litur-
gy with the catechism of the
Church, although certainly in the
liturgy there is doctrine of the
Church." he said.
Turning to private devotions,
the Cardinal declared that "as
there is in the liturgy that first
element of living out the manner
of praying, there are also extra
liturgical .devotions, private pray
ers such as the Rosary"

Wants Strict
Attitude Toward
Mixed Marriage

PRETORIA, South Africa
NC) - Archbishop John Garner
of Pretoria has suggested that
dispensations for mixed marriag-
es should not be granted as east
ly to Catholic men as they are to
Catholic women.
He said the usual reason adj
vanced by a Catholic who wants
to marry a none Catholic is that
the Catholic field was so small
and so limited.
In view of the fact that of

that 81 feel that the time has

Head of the 50-bed hospital is

surgery. OF course we couldn't
have done it without Gods
help, but that Sister Pauline is
truly game"
Asked to describe living condi.
tions, Miss Laterza said the eli.
mate is cool because of the alti.
tude, but insects of all kinds
abound. A paraffin-powdered re-
frigerator, she explained, is the
best present anyone could give
the mission. Preserving food is a
big problem, she said.
Life Is simple. There is work.
There is prayer. There is rest.
Often the villagers have q fes-
rival, then there is singing,
drum beating and dancing.
"You feel a kinship with God"
she said.
The San Gabriel girl wears a
gold band on one of her fingers.
1t is the only symbol of the Lay
Mission Helpers Association. On
it is inscribed 'For We are Gods
Helpers" On recuperating, she
intends to return to Tanganyika
