Time For the Great Sowing

The season of Lent, soon to begin, is not only
the time for the impressive liturgical renewal Of
the Redemption, by which the mind of the Chris
tian must be constantly influenced; it is, well,
the time for the exercises of prayer and penance
which shall form spiritual training for his daily
life throughout the coming year So the Church
on Sunday presents the Gospel parable of the
sowing of the seed-so important an insight into
righteous living that Christ Himself explained
it, The time of sowing is at hand: during this
Lenten period the word of God will be broadcast
with all the zeal the Church uses in fulfilling
her mission of teaching, and upon its reception
in the hearts Of the faithful will depend the
harvest Of souls
There are many reasons why this will be one
of the most crucial springtimes in all the history
of Christianity: war and its after effects have
torn up the fields sadly, bringing the rocks of
error TO the surface spreading the thorns of
evil thoughts and evil deeds all over the once
fertile fields; the tramping of armies has harden
ed hearts as well as soil preventing the seeds
of truth from finding roots But the sowing must
be made for this is the time for it; each indvid-
ual is responsible for clearing and cultvating
the piece of ground which is his own heart so
that it may be receptive to the precious seed;
if the difficulties in the way of the work of the
Divine Husbandman are great, so much the more

look al the problem, and we think the follow
ing excerpts are worthy of quotation:
I'VE have to start by taking it for granted
that the pastor of any parish needs money in
order to operate, in order to provide essential
services. Pastors differ in personality and make
up, so naturally they differ in the means that
they adopt for raising money. Some people, of
course, will not part with money, even for the
needs of the Church. unless the pressure is put
on them, just as many people will not pay their
bills or their installment obligations until some
credit manager has exhausted his patience and
his capacity for threats. pastor may feel that
he would be unfair TO his cheerful givers if he
permitted others to evade their obligation. There
are pastors who feel that way and who run
their parishes on that principal. have known
and loved the other type of pastor who lays his

now to the call to prepare for the mighty sowing
AS an example of how faith and perseverance
can overcome all obstacles to receiving and fos
tering the word of God, so as to bring forth
fruit "a hundredfold," the Epistle is ST. Paul's
own account of the sufferings and hardships
he endured He was called to be an Apostle and
accepted the charge: that is, the seed fell upon
good ground. And although trials innumerable
assailed him throughout his life, the Grace of
God sustained him and enabled him to over
come all of them: shipwreck, Imprisonment, vio-
lent prosecutions of all sorts could not shake him
from his course. His own human weakness, his mis-
takes, his anxieties did not discourage him, for
he had made himself custodian of the truth that
had been planted in him. and in his devotion to
his calling he found Gods help ever available,
If we, in imitation of st. Paul. prepare our
selves, by worthy observance of Lent, to be
good soil for the sowing that is about to begin;
if, like him, we invoke divine aid whenever
temptation beckons if We accept the response

witnesses to His justice, then can we be num-
bered among those who with right and good
heart, having heard the word, hold it fast and

TO anticipate that, in spite of
all their grievances and mis-

step up their activities in sup

He talked to them like a Dutch

Just Anger Necessary But
You Must Discipline with Love
BY Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

When parents punish their chill

proval of loving parents. II should
not be release for the spleen
of an irate father. Punishment
should always be in proportion
to the offense Of the child, never
equal to the anger of the parent.

parent II is one point of which
children must always be sure.
We have all heard of the young
boys who we're so good in class
that the teacher just loved to
place them across his lap and ap,
plaud them. When children are
young and cannot be reasoned
with, a spanking can be effective.
II may be the last resort but it
can be worthwhile one.
Right To Spank
We hear it said that nothing
can be accomplished by spanking
which could not be accomplished
by other means. That may be true
II time is no element and children
can be reasoned with.
II, however, ] were directing a
school and the parents of young
boys did not trust my judgment
and permit me the right to spank,
] doubt that would accept that
child. The right to spank goes
with parents; but as the right to
educate is delegated, SO should
this right to punish be delegated
to reasonable authority This is
not TO say that principal of a
school should go from class to
class, week after week, with a
paddle or maybe, these days, with
an electric spankcrl

is accumulating that the dan

a "definitive solution" of world
problems there is need of a
worldwide agreement to ban

said such weapons mo longer

All this serves to recall the
1855 Christmas Message of His
Holiness Pope Plus XII, who
called for remuneration of ex-
perimentation with nuclear
weapons, remuneration of their
use as such, and general con-
troll of ornaments. The Holy
Father said ''the sum total of
those three measures as an OBJ

He said all three measures are

misbehavior. He must know and
understand before hand the con-
sequences of what he does.
Democratic Relationship
Discipline is an external force
which creates an internal force.
The child cannot be dominated
and overpowered only by sheer
outside force-that is not disci-
pline. That is an extreme type
of parental dictatorship" which
is strictly patriarchaI.
The other extreme is the conf
panionate approach between par
ent and child. But the democratic
relationship in a family is the
wiser course to follow. II is the
middle course. Therefore we
should not say, children should
be seen and not heard" Children
are not to be reared deaf and
dumb.
The American soldier who de-
serted and chose 10 remain in
China as a Communist, rather
than return to the U.S.A., seems
to be an example of a boy who
may never have learned internal
discipline. There is telling re-
mark of his father quoted in the
press: "If ! could just get to that
boy, I'd show him, he'd come
back"
The story seems TO indicate a
strong external discipline. II
would also indicate that the sys-
TEN does not pay off when the
children are absent from that au
thority. On the other hand, the
spoiled child may very likely in
dicate the other extreme of a
"chieken.hearted" parent. II is

is the least successful: the patri
arch or the Milquetoast
