has been a powerful corrective.
In a letter to the Interna-
tional Union of the Catholic
Press in May, 1854, Archbishop
Giovanni Battista Montini of
Milan, then Vatican Substitute
Secretary of State, made this
pertinent statement of world
conditions:
THE world is engaged in
spiritual combat about whose
stakes no one is ignorant. An
immense wave of atheism has
broken over the world and rare
Iy has action against the Re-
Iigion Of Christ been carried on
more shrewdly and more syste-
mstieaiIy.
even in the ranks of the
faithful, one meets Catholics
whose confidence in the mis-
sion of the Church is shaken.
One sometimes even hears bit
ter criticism from them direct
ed against the Church, which,
because of their own failings,
they willingly hold responsible
for the progress of her enc
mics, whereas these latter are
held to be worthy of every in
diligence.

These include a mutual re-

a request that there be estab-

is one proposal that we can af-

Russia has lost ground

that are confronting us in the
United States. Many of these
problems have a deep moral
and religious bearing. These
must be explained and discuss
ed in the light of Catholic
faith. Despite our growth, de-
spite our patriotism, despite
what we save our fellow Ameri-
cans annually in school taxes,
in some places there is increas-
ing bigotry and hatred of the
Church. This bigotry and hatred
is intensified by the publica-
ton of untruths and half
truths. The Catholic Press is
ever on guard to expose these
falsehoods and to answer COM
petently and completely these
false statements.
We are proud to say that the
Catholic Press is alert to the
dangers resulting from the god
lessness that has become so
rampant today. Perhaps, how
ever, each individual publica-
tion could work just a little
harder to interest educated
Catholic men and women in
their own localities, to develop
a greater participation in the
Catholic press and work for its
expansion and influence.

of the Church but still they
cannot be lightly rejected.
Even having the Gregorian
Masses does not mean that we
should not continue to pray and
have Masses offered for the de-
parted one. Only God can say
when a soul has been accepted
into heaven - except for those
happy few whomthe Church Of
ficially canonizes. There is then
no limit for offering Mass or
having Masses offered for the
departed. If they have no need
of them - if they are already
in heaven, as we hope - such
prayers and Masses will not be
wasted. God will convert the
graces of the Masses to the
best use, perhaps according to
the intention of the deceased
or of the one having the Mass
offered.

Will Herberg, author oil

Will Herberg, author of

us that our forefathers in

themselves by their language
and SO they we're English, Ital-
ian, German and Jew. But now
we are identified by our relig-
ion. We are mainly Protestant,
Catholic and Jew. 1t is the
American way of belonging.
One thing sure, he says, Amer

God, the attitude towards relig-

beginning of the 10Th century

February, dedicated to
the Catholic Press, offers
us an opportunity TO ex-
press appreciation for the
support the Catholic Press has
received during the past year,
gives occasion to say a special
prayer of thanks to our patron,
St. Francis de Sales, for his
guidance and protection, to re-
view briefly our work and to
rededicate ourselves to the
service of this strong arm of
the Church in her mission to
bring the Gospel to every crea-
ture.
The past year has seen the
Catholic Press reach its great
est strength. The total ~svbscrip-
lions TO magazines. periodicals
and newspapers now number
approximately 23,400, 900. This
high figure could not have been
reached without the s%eIf.saeri.
fieing and scholarly efforts OF
the stats and the loyal support
Of subscribers.
The encouragement given by
the American Hierarchy and
the response of the faithful to
appeals of their Bishops have
had a major part in the in
crease of subscriptions to Cath
Ollie publications. The dedica-
ton of editors, journalists and
writer's to their work and the
good results of their labors
have been responsible for the
excellent products offered to
subscribers.
The Catholic editor faces a
grave responsibility today. His
task demands that he be ever
on the alert to interpret The
Chvreh's teaching in . world Of
confusing changes.
He must be close to the daily
life of the Church and aware
of what is happening through
out the world, for every world
wide event has some bearing
upon the Church. Keeping in
mind that the Catholic Church
is the divinely instituted soci-
ETY. established by Christ TO
save all men, it is crystal clear
to the editor that much agita-
ton and many movements are
directly or indirectly aimed at
the destruction of the Church.
The fortieth anniversary of
the Bolshevik Revolution has
been marked by new outbreaks
of anti-C Catholic hostility and
persecution of bishops, clergy
and laity. Not only behind the
Iron Curtain but wherever the
influence of communism touch
es, the Church is made to suf-
fer.
The Catholic Press, through
the services of its N.C.W.C.
News Service, has been able to
keep American Catholics and
Catholics throughout the free
world informed of these con-
ditions. The trials" and unfair
sentences imposed on prelates,
clergy and laity in China and
Hungary recently received
scant attention from the secu-
lar press. In these circumstanc-

with the values of our example

Mrs. EardIey Speaks to
Hambden PTA
Mrs. w. j. Eardley, who area
co-ordinator of Geauga Sunshine
Unlimited, spoke to the mem
berS and friends of Hambden
PTA, when it convened on Tues
day evening, March 25, at the
school.
Mrs. Eardley opened h e I
speech by explaining to the
group the various functions and
detectives of Geauga Sunshine
Unlimited. According to the
speaker, this organization first
came into existence on he re-
quest of the Geauga County
Welfare Dept. and Aid for the
Aged for volunteer services, that
were direly needed in the area
Following a group meeting in
Chardon some time ago, rep
resentatives of the different
county communities were called
upon to Set-up area units of &C.
auga Sunshine Unlimited. Or
ganization was formed in such a
way that all religious groups
Protestant, Catholic, Jew S h
Negro, and AmiSh = Might be
duly represented, stressed Mrs,
Eardley.
She went on to tell how the
Chardon Boy Scout Troops are
currently engaged in a project,
which is of great assistance to
! G. aug a Sunshine Unlimited
Each scout is asked to contact
neighbor, who is elderly, and
adopt this individual as his
proxy grandparent'. After SC
doing, the Scouts call upon their
adopted grandparents at least
once a week and do other small
favorS to brighten the days OF
these elderly people. Mrs. Eard,
ley expressed the hope that
someday some type of similar
program might be undertaken
by a Hambden group.
Other functions of Geauga
Sunshine Unlimited were given
by the speaker as: distribution
of surplus food from the Federal
Govt. to needy families, monthly
calls made to the County Home
and offered encouragement to
Pope Home, and Corey Hospital,
the establishment of hobbies,
which, in the words of Mrs.
Eardley are essential to good
health. This vital need for part
icipation in individual hobbies
was realized most clearly by the
speaker, when she had made a
trip to the Hawthorne State Hos
pital some six years ago. at
that time, she learned that both
this institution and the Carvell
Leprosy Hospital in Louisiana
use hobbies as a part of their
therapedic treatment. Rags are
woven into rugs by the patients
thus keeping their minds - and
bodies - busy, which is what
a hobby does.
Mrs. Eardley closed h r
speech with these words: While
we are spreading sunshine in
Geauga County, we are also es-
