who through the years built not one but many mon
uments to his faith. The builder is Brother Joe"
who dreamed of becoming priest when he came
to America from Bavaria at the age of 13. Lacking
educational qualifications he instead became a
brother in the Benedctine Order and worker in the
boiler room of the monastery at st. Bernard Abbey.
The shrnes were his after-hour pleasure, which now
delight more than a million visitors every year.
There more than $50 replicaS of ShrineS in the

ulOC6S6S are secular pIleSIo.
However, many priests belong
to religious orders or commu-
mites.
At present more than so of
the bishops in the United States
Hierarchy of the Roman Catho-
lie Church are members of re-
lgious orders. Leading all the
orders in the number of bishops
is that known as the Catholic
Foreign Mission of America

Ten bishops belong to the

A close second in supplying
bishops is the Society of Jesus

eight at present. The Fran

Altogether there are 25 re-

Question: In the 22d chapter
of Genesis I read the story of
Abraham's offering of his only
son, Isaac. The second verse
says this took place in the
','land of Moriah." I do not find
this name on a map of Pales-
tine. Where was Moriah?
Answer: The Bible indicates
that Abraham had been at
Beersheba when he heard the
call to take his son to Moriah
for the sacrifice. Beersheba is
a well-known desert town
which still stands in Southern
Israel. The exact site of Mo-
riah cannot be verified from
the Scriptures.
However, the traditional To-
cation of Mount Moriah has
been long accepted by Jews,
Christians and Moslems alike
as being the high hill on which
the ancient walled city of Jeru-
salem now stands. The actual
spot of the sacrifice is believed
to be the rock over which the
original Temple of Solomon
was erected and over which, to-
day. stands the Moslem Mosque
of Omar. 1t is called also the
Dome of the Rock.
This supposition is aided by
II Chronicles 81 which states
that Solomon began to build
the House of the Lord on
Mount Moriah.

pletely opposite religious or
philosophical views-so opposite
that I don't see how one clas-
siflcation could apply to all OF
them!
Answer: That is because the
words "humanist" or human
ism" mean so many different
things.
Technically or literally a
humaniSt is a student Of the
humanities-the classical field
of higher education such as
classical languages and the
liberal arts. exclusive of the
sciences. A humanist often is
a student of Greek and Roman
civilization and culture.
But, in the field of religion,
humanism today usually refers
to a movement which is a sort
of modification of Unitarian
doctrine. A Unitarian minister.
John H. Dietrich, is regarded
as the father of modern re-
ligious humanism.
HumaniStS, in this group, be-
lieve science is the real key to
the hope of a better world.
They stress the saying "the
kingdom of God is within you"
They believe that everything
human has something to do
with the religious life-all the
known fields of knowledge.
There is a difference of opinion
among them about belief in
God as a Supreme Deity.

Gray Rules City
Can't Ease Rules
On Milk Content

District Corporation Counsel
Chester H. Gray has ruled that
the city's authority to revise
milk standards is limited to
imposition of more stringent
requirements.
Mr.. Gray said that under the
1925 Milk Act the District may
approve tighter regulations on
bacteria content and milk COM
position but may not lower the
requirements.
This opinion was submitted
yesterday to the Commissioners
in reply to one of several legal
questions raised by city SIealth
Department officials on the
1925 statue.
In reply to another query
from the Health Department,
Mr.. Gray said it is his opinion
generally" that the District
could suspend a dairy farm
permit If the dairy man. failed
to maintain standards set by
the act.
The questions were submitted
by the Health Department
after Chestnut Farms Dairy
(Sealtest) offered its proposals
on revising the milk regula-
tons.

MORE AND MORE there is the growing realiza-
ton that regional interests will draw people together to
work for the common good Of all. This fact came out
clearly at the last quarterly meeting and dinner of the.
st. Croix Chamber of Commerce held at Estate. Carlton
Guests Of honor were Mr.. and Mrs. Webster E. Pullen.
Mr.. Pullen is president Of the Chamber Of Commerce of
Puerto Rico.
USING THIS opportunity to. bring home to the To-
cal Chamber of Commerce the significance and value Of
regional cooperation, Mr.. Pullen spoke at great length.
about what Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands could
do to make the most of their joint opportunities in the
Caribbean. He stressed the Importance of the increas-.
ing tourist economy for all our islands, and said that we
had a lot to gain by a unified effort. Toward that end he
said that all future Puerto Rcan tourist advertising
could carry a line inviting visitors to Puerto Rico to go
on and see the Virgin Islands. He also said that tourism
brings industry. AS visiting industrialists see the advan-
tages Of climate and tropical surroundings, they are
more likely to decide to bring their business, or a branch
of it, down here too, he said.
MIR. PULLEN predicted a successful future for the
Virgin Islands and displayed colorful charts Of Puerto
Rico's progress over the last few years that showed
amazing growth.
Mr.. PUI1hEN WAS in full accord with Governor
Marin, who has always expressed the desire for greater
cooperation and the pooling Of resources to the mutual
advantage Of both Islands. And this is rather apparent,
when it is recalled that more and more the Puerto Ri
can element of the population is increasing. Once they
come here it becomes their duty, as everyone knows, to
make their contribution as full citizens.
SUCH MEETINGS as the one held by the Chamber
Of Commerce at Carlton are eye-openers. They bring to
nj ii d the possibilities, they offer opportlmi-
ties for members to know each other more intimately,

and emphasize the need to to see the overall picture and

again, and Share with US his vast knowledge and keen
