From God?

Highest and truest authority is
that which comes from God. AC-
cording to the fourth Gospel, Jesus
denied saying anything strictly on
his own account. He spoke God $
words, his teaching were God S
teaching. MY teaching is not mine
but his who sent me" he said John
7:16). Now every Christian in the
world admits this. We all claim to
believe that Christ's authority is
divine. But do we act as if we be
heved it?

me. This was not off the subject,
as we might think. Expressed more
fully. what Jesus meant was: Very
well suppose I received my author
ity from John the Baptist, as some
OF you may think Where did he
get his authority?
From Popular Consent?
There used to be a man who had
no degree but his college A.B The
members of his church called him
Doctor" all the same. He used to
say that his degree had been con
ferred by vote of the people. More
important matters than titles can
be conferred. in our country, by
vote of the people. The authority
of a president or governor comes
from the people themselves. There
is nothing essentially wrong about
authority that comes from men at
large. Indeed unless the people
consent, no man can WELD author
ity. In one sense Jesus authority
came from the heart of the people.
The common people heard him
gladly we are told. This is our
man and we love him. This is our
man; he knows" Unless q leader
has something like that effect on
people. he is leader in name only.
From Personal Force?
But of course popular consent,
popular enthusiasm, can be quite
wrong. Look at Hitler in the height
of his power. Every Nazi, millions
of them, went screaming for him.
He was Germany's new Messiah.
But that did not make him right.
He was horribly wrong, in fact, for
all the cheering.
There is another kind of author
ity, which comes from within. The
man who has it does not need to
appeal to any one else, he does not
need to produce license, he needs
no sponsors. Now Jesus had that
kind of authority and every one Of
his friends and admirers felt it, We
read that after his sermon on the
mount" the people were astonished
because he taught as one having
authority, and not as the scribes.
We know how the Scribes taught
They quoted authorities. Jesus had
it.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL
ALL FOR THE CHUR n

The Church is the greatest factor on earth for
the building of character and good citizenship.
It i, storehouse of spiritual values. Without
strong Church. neither democracy nor civilization
can survive. There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly and
support the Church. They are: CD For his
own sake (2) For his children's sake. ~ For
the sake Of his community and nation. (4) For
the sake of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your Bible daily.

WASHINGTON Pub
LEGATION of Catholic trade
books reached a total of
694 titles in 1853, ac-
cording to statistics re-
leased here by Eugene P.
Willging, director of libraries
of the Catholic University of
America.
MIR. Willging, who is editor
of a weekly card and news
service on Catholic books, not
ed that this compares with the
1857 total of 703 titles. The
annual compilation is limited
to trade" books, namely
those sold through the book
trade, and excludes textbooks.
There were IA publishers
represented in the 6o4 csfho-
lie books issued in 1883. Mr..
WilIgins designated So IS pri.
mariIy Catholic firms, which
issued 379 titles, and 81 as
general firms, which issued
315 titles. These figures indi.
cate q decided shift in totals,
pointing toward increasing
significance Of the general
firms, the Catholic University
official said.
For the fifth consecutive
year since the publication of
these figures, the Newman
Press of Westminster, Md,
was the leading publisher, ac-
cording to Mr.. Willging. It's
1858 total was 70 titles, of
which II were paperbacks.
Bruce Publishing Company of

OF Merton

&xAAAl 1AkIG 1llE
Secular journal of Thorn
!. as Merton - a diary of
1.-THE Trappist writer's pre-
Seven Storey : Mountain
days, is the January selection
of the Catholic Literary Foun-
dalton, it has been announced
. here.
These informal jottings that
formed the backbone of The
Seven Storey Mountain are a
lean, cracking prose that
sketch his journey toward the
monastic life. They were writ
ten when he was a graduate
student and later a teacher
at Columbia and during his
instructorship at st. Bona
venture University. From
bristling rebellion to tranquil
meditation his colloquial OBJ
servations and musings reveal
the mind of a person acutely
aware Of life and perfectly
capable of strong reaction.
In one instance he rails at
the foibles and pretensions of
society; then he worries over
the futility of war; or is
caught up with the noise,
!. sights and smells of a Cuban
holiday. He is never more SER
ious as he fondles a newly
found faith.

justice, uncharitableness,
dishonesty, laziness, and the
like. Therefore, though one
could accuse Mr.. O'Hara of
catering all through his near
ly 900 pages to the page-riff-
ling crowd that goes through
books simply searching out the
explicitly sex-laden passages,
I think a better case could be
made against him as being
mainly dishonest. He has simp-
ly gathered together every
thing he remembers, has
been told, has read, or has
hypothesized about how up
per-middle class folk behaved
in a certain part of America
during a certain number of
years. He has then set it all
down, without regard for
proportion, meaningfulness,
artistic value, or the potential
enjoyment of the reader.
WHOLE coBs"
There are many charges
that can be brought against
Graham Greene, but one al
ways has to admit, on putting
down one Of his books -
whether one of the serious
novels or one of the lighter
Entertainments - that he
has written hardly six unnec-
essary words in the process of
telling his story. Further, ev-
cry word is in very nearly the
exactly right place, and Meth
er sentences nor paragraphs
could be rearranged without
doing violence to the text.
But whole gobs Of From fhs
Torrance could be arranged or,
better still, dropped, without
harming the book in the Sigh
test. Not the least of Mr.
O'Hara's delinquencies in COM
hitting the book is that he
has offered an occasion for
a sin of slothfulness to those
who might be tempted to
waste their time in reading
it.
