Still resounding are the glad alleluias of

Sharing in His Victory

lest the doubts arising from human weakness
trouble us we are told in the Gospel how
Thomas spoke for all those who require proof,
and how he was answered.
Thomas was not present in the upper room
when the other disciples saw Christ for the first
time after the Resurrection Their account of
the visit did not convince Thomas: "Unless see
in His hands the print of the nails And put
my hand into His side, will not believe" The
Savior was patient with the doubter: when He
returned eight days later He said to Thomas,
Bring here thy finger and see My hands :.
and be not unbelieving but believing" Thomas
made his fervent profession of faith MY Lord
and my Godl' and he heard the solemn response,
which is a message for all Of us: Because thou
hast seen Me, Thomas, thou hast believed;
Blessed are they who have not seen and yet
have believed"
II was al this time. too, that Christ made
known His sovereignty as son of God by confer
ring on the disciples the power to forgive sins
Receive the Holy Spirit He said; whose sins
you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and
whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
Thus did the Savior, having won the victory
over sin, provide for making the fruits OF that
victory available TO the faithful, through the
Sacrament of Penance as long as the world
shall last

Sorokin. a Harvard Univer-

culture generally fluctuates be-
tween two extremes: VIC are
idealistie or sensate. We cater
intellectually TO our most
refined aesthetic values on
one hand, or we surrender To
our least refined appetites on
the other.
In America we have left the
period when long hours Of
strenuous toll by masses OF
semi-slaves were necessary for
survival. Now, the machine age
has brought with il a great
deal of leisure, OF pleasure
seeking, and of sensuous en-

now leaning toward the other

fishing rates of pay and con-
ditions of work for government
employees.
Red Herring
What does this mean in prac-
tice?
In the language of the brief.
1t means first OF all that "the
basic rights OF labor--the right
to strike and the right to bar
gain collectively - cannot be
afforded Federal employees
consistently with the Federal
obligation to the taxpayer to
operate the Federal administra-
tion economically and effic-
iently." This is obviously red
herring. For it is we'll known
fact that government en-
ployees' unions explicitly waive
the right to strike in their
constitutions.
Secondly, the efficiency and
economy philosophy of labor
relations means. for example
that ''if Congress desires that,
insofar as il is possible, all
workers in this country work
only eight hours a day, never
theless Congress could, in its
concern for Federal expendi-
lures, require and validly pro-
vide that Federal employees
work 10 hours a day
Thirdly, the archaic labor re-
lations philosophy expressed in
the Justice Departments brief
means that "the economical adj
mlnistration of government
preclndes the immediate and
total adoption by Congress of
schemes such as automatic cost
of living increases based on
the consumer price index"
Dangerous Fsllsey
Ditto for all OF the other pro.
gressive labor standards adopt
ed in recent years by private
industry andfor enacted by
Federal legislation. According
TO the Justice Department, IN
the case of Federal employees
these improvements (Which
ere Jumped together in the brief
under the heading of the pres
ent-day philosophy OF labor
law must either bow to or
be balanced with considera-
tionS OF economy and effic-
iency in government"
In our opinion. this is very
dangerous fallacy and one that
ought to be publicly repudiat-
ed by the Administration al the
earliest opportunity. II means,
in the final analysis, that the
Federal government is above
the moral law and is not bound
by the rules and equity in the
field of labor relations.

A Kiss Should Be

By Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

Even those not majoring in
English may like this definL
ton OF a kiss:
A kiss is
"a noun because II Is The

ths place OF words,
-. an adjective because II de.
seribes .. feeling,
verb because II indi.
Gates action,
an abvsrb because II has
manner and dssrse,
"a proposition because II
acts upon an object.
Q conjunction because II brings
two together,
an intersection because
N expresses emotion.
There is so much more TO
kiss than may first appear-it
Ia an involved, complicated act.
Message Conveyed
A kiss is essentially Ian.
guage. Priests will give each
other the kiss OF peace on the
cheek during certain Masses.
In some countries the priest
gives a kiss OF peace To the
bridegroom al a nuptial
Mass; the bridegroom, in turn,
gives il to his bride.
II is said that some people
In foreign countries kiss with
their noses. But what they may
want to say is that life and
breath are associated with the
nose so, they rub noses. Amer
leans should wish TO convey
that same thought in kisses
give you my breath, my life.
To kiss a date, then, because
he treats you to a hot dog and
coke is ridiculous.
OF course there are many
kinds of kisses A mother kiss
