endure, runs the proverb, and the more, we dis
cipline our minds and control our emotions the
healthier shall we be. AS Cronin observed:
Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow; it
only r0bs today of its strength"
In this day of tranquilizers it is worthwhile
to recall that Christ gave the generations be-
fore us and after us the genuine cure for tension
and ulcers. When the Apostles were caught up in
a mild predecessor of Audry, out on the Lake
of Genesareth, they became panicky and
screamed to their Divine Guest, who was asleep
in the boat: Lord save us, we perish Our Lord
replied: why are you fearful, O We of little
faith?" Had the Apostles the faith that would
sustain them in nasty weather as well as fair,
they would not have needed the Gliding they
received. And certainly st. Paul proved for all
time the value of faith. The valiant Apostle to
the Gentiles was given his Jumps in a score of
Jalls. He was quite a calm man in an emer-
gency or he would never have been able to sur
rive a couple of shipwrecks. He had to set some
swim records to stay afloat without a l~ifejacket
until rescue came after a day and a night in the
sea. At no time, however, does the therapeutic
value of faith more effectively manifest its
power than the afternoon when Paul and Peter
showed the Romans how to die.
Very few of us can lay claim to faith in
such intensity and vitality that worry is UNI
known to us. Perfection in the practice of any
virtue is regularly a lifetime job, but we can
have living confidence in Gods protection.

The first Inter-American Congress of the
Catholic Family Movement at Montevideo, IRA
quay called upon parents and the community
to take a more active part in the apostolate Of
the home.
The apostolate of the home means the in
~culcation of truly Christian principles in chill
dren through their religious, moral and social
upbringing, a spokesman pointed out.
The congress enacted a series of detailed
resolutions which explain how parents and chill
dren may cooperate to achieve a better COM
munity life through a better home life.
The problem of fostering religious vacations
was taken up by the members of the congress
in reference to the apostolate of the home.
Religious vacations are to a large extent
the responsibility of the home, according to
the congress report. The attitude of parents
toward v~ocations has a great influence on the
attitude of the child, it said. But religious vo-
cations are not the only vocations. Parents
should study their children's inclinations and
natural talents in order to help them choose a
suitable life work, the report continued.

Worry-A Form of Atheism?

Ii was the author of The Citadel, A. ]. Cron-
in, who gave us the choice bit of advice that
worry is a form of atheism because it is equiva-
lently a denial of mans need for God. Maybe
he is a little harsh on poor, weak man. We might
even say that man would not be man were he
unable to worry, but the distinguished author
has a point.
It was Mark Twain who once observed:
81 am an old man and have known a great many
troubles, but most of them never happened"
But most people are not oyerburdened with OPP
timism, and thus develop warts of worry. 1t
would not be difficult to prove that there are
people who actually like to worry. Of course,
they are not on dead center and their balance
is precarious. They misconstrue a menacing
countenance as an evidence of wisdom. They
seldom, If ever, smile since their thoughts are
so weighty and world-shattering that they have
no time for the trivial problems of others. An
early day pastor in the West observed that a
goodly portion of the human race would die
laughing at itself if it had a sense of humor.
From the words of an old charwoman we
can mint a good deal of wisdom: Il never wor-
rieS," she declared, because long ago | found
out it's impossible to worry at the right time.
When you is worrying most that's when every
thing is fine and when you lakes up that's when
one of the children is out breaking a leg"
The poirt is. that worry is seldom benefi-
cial. For the most part it never does anyone any
good, least of all the person weighted down by
the affliction. What you cannot cure, simply

ApOstOlate of the Home

The most important resolutions adopted by
the congress which affect this goal are:
y Through family prayer and family devo-
tions, parents must impress upon their children
a profound sense of God in theN home and else
where. The family should worship together.
-2> Both parents, both through teaching and
example, should impart to their children a moral
training in keeping with their understanding
and age. They must teach them for themselves
and for their fellowmen and the natural and
theological virtues. 4,
- The home must be a school of social con-
science, fighting egotism and cultivating gen.
crosby toward others in the true spirit of charity
and cooperation, and teaching respect for au-
thority in the home and in the community.
A. Parents should create a consciousness of
the need for religious v~ocations. Prayers for
an increase in v~ocations and definite encourage
ment of v~ocations within the family are urged.
parents must recognize that the future of
their children belongs to God and not to them.
Therefore, they must be ready to step out of
the way at the proper moment so as not to in
%terfere with Gods choice" the resolution said.

Is this word to be confused
with "sole" purpose.
To start you thinking and
maybe disagreeing,, for this is
a matter of opinion, | might
say that the primary role of
parents is guidance and the
primary role Of a school is to
teach the intellectual virtues.
Parents obviously are respon-
sible for the education of a
child but they need many
agencies to help them: the
Church, the school, C.C.D.,
Newman Clubs, and so on.
So the Holy Father does not
say that children must 60 to a
Catholic school. Of course, they
are not allowed, without per-
mission, to go to schools where
religion is not taught, but if
the parents could themselves
alone educate a child that
would be satisfactory. The
question is can parents do so
today?
PRIMARY PURPOSE
Now, again, the Holy Father
says that the primary purpose
of education Is to develop the
whole man, the full man; he
does not, however, say that

That Is also why our teaching
nuns and brothers must first
get ample intellectual, univer-
sity training before they even
enter a classroom to teach.
Unless they can do a good
teaching job, they would not
be true to themselves or to
the school role that they rep
resent.
If we lose the intellectuals
we lose intellectually and if
we lose intellectually, we may
then no longer be able to guide
the intellectual Christian To
Heaven.
It is interesting that the
high school teaching profession
in the u. S. A. is not highly
ranked. In China teaching is
almost the supreme profession.

In the States medicine is the
favored profession. In Russia,
the engineer and mechanic
rate next to the Communist
party leaders. This stratifica-
ton of professions is a rather
conclusive gauge of our values
obviously here the body and
health are our major concern.
Our Catholic schools must
have an Intellectual atmos-
phere: the atmosphere must
not be sports. Nor does the
Catholic school in any sense
neglect virtue, for straight
knowledge without virtue can
be a curse as We saw in Japan
and in Germany and long ago
in Greece. But the inculcation
of virtue is not the primary
purpose of a school. Implanting
virtue is the first task of par
ents.

Three years ago this Septem-
Der Jubilee magazine published
n feature article entitled:
Catholics and US. Labor"
an illustrated survey OF what
American bishops, priests, and
laymen have done to nipple
ment Catholic social teaching
in the field of labor-relations.
There was only one major gap
In this survey: 1t failed to
mention the contribution which
the Catholic women and, more
specifically, the teaching Sis
tiers of the United States have
made in the field of religion
and-labor.
As one Of those who was con-
suited by the editors of Jubilee
in the preparation of this sur
vey, the present writer belated-
L. and feebly tried to make
amends for this rnchivalrous
oversight i'm a column written
approximately a year later.
To illustrate the magnificent
work that the teaching Sisters
of the United States have been
doing over the years in the
social apostolate, we cited the
case OF. Mother Emily, first

sinawa wisconsin, Domini-
cans whose biography had Just

DEBT TO SISTERS
We had completely forgotten
about this column until we re-
ceived word that an old friend,
Sister Thomas Aquinas, O.P.
one of Mother Emilv's more
distinguished proteges - died
Unexpectedly on Saturday
morning. July 20, at Corpus
Christi Convent in New York
City. 1t suddenly dawned on
us then, in a more personal
way, how much we owe to SO
many Sisters in the field of
social reform and how seldom
we give them the recognition
to which they are so richly en-
titled.

An attempt was made to bring
Tito here on an official visit last
spring, but it fizzled in the face
of opposition, notably in Con-
g,ess, where an impressive num-
Der of lawmakers signed a docu-
ment in protest.
But, it was not said at that
time that the project had been
abandoned; merely that the time
for it was not right. The Con-
gressmen withheld sending their
protest TO the White House, but
warned that they would keep it
handy, and dispatch it if the mat
ter came up again.
Last spring, when Congressman
threatened to boycott any ap-
pearance Tito might make on

widow, who worked under the
direction of st. Vincent de Paul
in establishing the Institute of
the Sisters of Charity. She died
in Paris in 1860 and was beati-
fled by Pope Benedict XIV in
1920. Her feast day is October 9.
@. What saints are patrons
of people named Gina, Gloria

A Gina is simply the short
form of some other name
such as Georgina and Regina.
Regina comes from a saint
who was a virgin and martyr
near Autun during the Ro-
man persecution and her feast
day is September 7th. Gloria
is a short form for Gloriosa

martyr, suffering at Laodicea

A. All meat and meat juices
are forbidden on Friday and
other days of total abstinence.
On days of partial abstinence
meat or direct derivatives may
not be taken except at the
principal meal, for meat may
be eaten once on such days.
All fowls are taken as meat so
chicken, duck, etc. would not
be permitted (although in
some places certain kinds Of
birds are considered water

considered meat and may be

Laws against gambling are
wurded in all-inclusive terms
in order to block the ingen-
uity of professional gamblers
who may try to hide under
charitable causes etc. The
amusement gained by betting
a small amount of money
which we can afford to lose
seems to be nearly universal
and morally there is no OBJ
lection to such honest and in
nocent recreation. Only if a.
person has discovered an in
ordinate dove of gambling, a
tendency to spend money he
owes or should use for his
home or if the operation is
dishonest etc. is he bound in
conscience to avoid it. The
state recognition of pari-mu-
tuel betting indicates that the

gambling a civic evil.

was a tremendous influence
for good in the field of social
action. AS a member of a Re-
ligious Community she was not,
of course, in a position to par
ticipate directly in the field of
social reform as such. But
within the limits of her reli-
gious calling she carried on a
tireless apostolate of social
education and inspiration,
largely through correspond
ence and personal. contact.
The range of her interests
and her reading was incredibly
wide. Indeed / think it would
be fair to say that few of her
contemporaries - priests, Re-
ligious, or laymen had a
more consuming interest in
the problems of the day or a
better understanding of the
relationship between the spiri-
tual and the temporal orders.
More important than that,
however, was Sister Thomas
extraordinary enthusiasm for
every good cause in the field
of social reform and her abil-
ity even in her declinig
years to transmit this enthusi-
asm to her multitudinous
friends, Religious and lay, in
all parts of the United States.

that is the primary purpose
of a Catholic school, but of
education.
1t is like saying that Fritz
O'Neill pushes a car, but he
does so primarily with his
hands and not with his feet,
though his feet help. His feet,
too, have a distinct function;
he certainly does not use them
to bite with. Parents too have
d primary role quite distinct
from the role of a school.
Catholic schools do not exist
primarily as agencies for propa-
ganda. Their primary role is
not to proselytize or to convert.
This could be a subsidiary pur-
pose as is its social and athletic
life, but not a primary one.
A Catholic schools first
stress must be academic train
ing. This emphatically includes
the sacred sciences but this
must always be from the more
intellectual approach. Formal
training is involved. That is
why parents as such have no
strict right to decide on the
curriculum of a school-they
can suggest what they think
Is necessary but cannot demand
it.
Further, if a Catholic school
taught the sacramento well,
but neglected the teaching of
arithmetic and history, this
school would be untrue TO its
purpose and would be dishon-
oring God; as much as the
mother who went to Mass daily
and neglected her husbands
needs and the children's break
fast.
