PAIN A FRIEND
So, a good Christian makes
friends with pain. Suffering
never gags him. He sharpens
his teeth upon it for God al
lows us to suffer, not to do us
harm but to gather us in His
arms. God is like a mother
who holds a toy close to her
bosom so that her child will
climb upon her knee and get
closer TO her.
If one knows why he suf-
ferS he can become the most
important parishioner in the
parish, not only because of
the graces he earns but be-
cause of his very presence; no
explanation of suffering is as
convincing as the example Of
one who bears pain joyfully.

Sum and Substance:
Summit Conference,
Waste of Time
BY FIR. John b. Sheerin, esp.

in the witches brew in the
Middle East.
Yes, we can win a propa-
ganda victory, | believe, but
the purpose of the Conference
is to relieve tensions in the
Middle East, not to offer a
platform for propaganda.
Will the conferees really
get down to the causes of
troubles in the Arab world?
| don't think so. Russia and
the us. have agreed to dis
cuss those troubles but
Khrushchev wants to talk
about Lebanon and the Ameri-
can Intervention and the
Americans want to talk about
the troubles Of the whole Mid
die East.
In his note to Khrushchev,
Eisenhower said that he be-
fieved the chief cause OF
trouble in the Arab world was
the jeopardy in which the
small Arab nations are placed.
BY which he meant, that
Khrushchev, via Nasser. was
busy instigating revolutions
throughout the Arab world.
It's inconceivable that the
Russian leader will be anxious
TO discuss his meddling in the
Middle East any more than he
will discuss the Hungarian
revolution.
II seems to me, moreover,
that there is another cause of
the troubles in the Middle
East and it is something deep
er than the shenanigans of
Nasser and Khrushchev. That
is the hostility of the Arab to
the West.
| don't think the us. and
Britain will want to discuss
this in the presence Khrush-
chev. For the Western colo
NAL powers are responsible
for this Arab hostility. Mas
ser and Khrushchev have not
generated this antagonism
among the Arabs-they have
only exploited it.

Sorrow Can Bring

By Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

The bell rings in the
life of absolutely every
ore of us and somehow,
omeway someday we
are forced to our knees.
There is no exception.
Every adult can tell us of
sorrows. That is one rea-
son why compassion is a

GODS REMINDER
Sorrow, however, is a spec
ial reminder of another world.
The Cross is a universay key
to Heaven. II is a proof Of
submission to Gods Will.
Sanctity was once considered
. luxury for the rich who
could afford servants and he
free TO spend hours in Church.
But sanctity is not only in
saying prayers. II was Christ

suffering there are many
strong men who would prob.
bly, become tyrsnts.
For many who are pagan,
the Cross is a scandal. There
cannot be a good God" they
say. This thought absorbs
them like whirlpools in a riv-
er at flood height. But when
they try to escape suffering,
they become hard and selfish.
They seek comfort only and
their spiritual energy dries up.
Unless man learns to suffer,
il destroys him.
The story is. told OF a tiny
toothpick of a lad who was
doing his homework. II was
an assignment for an art
class. He had to draw a stair
case. He had just finished the
assignment and was pleased
but as he was putting it away
he dropped a large blotch Of
ink in the middle Of his paper.
He could not help it; he burst
out crying. "All this work and
now il is ruined" he blubber-
ed. The good grade he had
hoped for was vanishing
quickly.
A wise mother quickly came
to the rescue and suggested
that the drop of ink could be
turned into the figure of a
dog, Not sure that his teacher
would accept this change,
there was still little else that
he could do. The next day, as

A five-day-old strike by Marine

slow paralysis of American
flag shipping in East and Gulf
