eous act of Gods generosity
and love. All creation came
into existence and continues
in existence only because of
the diffusive goodness of God.
It seems unlikely that His
creation Of man could be more
or less spoiled (by man)
through the loss of the souls
of most men. The Church is
not officially interested in
such speculation but insists
that anyone can be saved and
that God wills all men to be
saved Il Timothy 2:4). Mans
free moral actions and his free
acceptance and return of
Gods love imply the possibil-
ify of rejecting good and re-
jecting God. Man thus chooses
his own damnation and God
permits him to make this mad
choice. To stop a wicked man
from being wicked would be
to stop him .(and in principle
all mem from being free
and from being good in any
meaningful sense of the word.

A. The final decision on
the sanctity of a certain per-
son rests with the Church
which speaks by the authority
of God in the matter. The orig
inal initiative comes from the
people, alleging holiness of

spiritual heroes whom the peo-
pie of the time acclaim and
propose for canonization.
Many of the kings and mar
tyrs were laymen and there
are many saints who were
married and. like st. Joseph,
lived quiet obscure lives as de-
vout laymen in the world. The
Church does not state that
she has collected all the
names of those who are in
heaven Saints in the wide
sense of the term nor even
all those extraordinarily holy
people who deserve public rec
ignition. She simply makes
sure that those who are ac-
cepted into the ranks of the
saints have been proved to be-
long there by virtuous lives
and miraculous signs. In this
age of the lay apostolate there
should be more canonized
saints from the ranks Of the
laity.

There is no point in talking

and management in discus

get us nowhere.

that the officers of the CED

to cooperate with them, in
equal numbers, in sponsoring
a joint study of the causes of
initiation. The sooner the bet

to the future, II recommend
ed in its recent report on in
flation that the basic laws of
the country be reviewed to
see whether they permit labor
organizations to have a degree
of economic power which is
not in the public interest"
This recommendation pre-
supposes that the American
economy is "basically organ
lied on the principle of COM
petition" and that this prin-
ciple should continue TO be
its guiding norm. An organi-
cation which subscribes TO
this theory is being complete
ly logical when il expresses
concern about the potential
power of organized labor TO
interfere with the free exer-
else of the so-called laws Of
competition.
Whether or not ii is being
realistic when it assumes that
competition is now the auid-
ing principle of the Ameri-
can economy is, of course,
another matter.
The CED is not the only
business organization which
has suggested in recent years
that the power of organized
labor may be proved to be
Incompatible with the public
interest.
This is a familiar refrain in
the policy statements OF the
NAM, the us. Chamber of

The Pirates top home run hitter, next to King
Kiner, Frank ranks ninth in the National League for
total home runs in the last five years. He has smacked
129 roundtripers since his debut in 1858.
What makes his home run production so outstand-
ing is that he has had the longest left field fence in
the majors to shoot at-365 feet down the foul line.
Last year for example, only 70 home runs were
rifled out of Forbes Field. This compared to 219 out
of Cincinnati's Crosley Field, 1875 out of the Polo
Grounds and 172 out of Ebbets Field.
In his first full year with Pittsburgh, Thomas
cracked out 80 hons runs, setting . Pirate record
