EIyis Breothed Life
AN ELVIS FAN.

Many people don't realize
what Elyis Presley has done
for popular music. They write
him of as an odd-ball or Just
another craze. II these people
don't recognize the impUr-
lance of Elvis Presley, they
are the odd-balls.
Elvis came along at a time
when there was no trend or
direction in popular music. 1t
was mediocre and record sales
were at a new low. A shot in
the arm was badly needed.
and this was what Elvis pro-
vided. When the dynamic
Mr.. Presley came along,
new breath Of life entered
into the musical world.
The late and great Buddy
Holly once said, without
Elvis Presley, none of us could
have made it." Quoted from
back of Buddy's latest album

way for a new type Of music.
He was the first to combine

for P. H. to even try to

because Elvis outranks Ricky
in style, voice and looks just

ever heard Elvis sing such

information pertaining to Alaska's S
great resources which he was able
to pass on to the legislators.
It wasn't until the knowledge OF
Alaska's fur wealth became known
that Alaska began to develop, and
it was in its developing period
that Jews played an important
part.
BY 1855, three fur companies
dominated the field. They were the

Hutchinson Company, and the Cali

particular emphasis on the
many objections TO its very
existence that modern sehol-
are have raised; with each OF
these objections, it seems TO
me, Fr. darcy deals fairly
and eonvineinsIy. All the fore.
going is by way of prologue TO
the heart of the book, which
consists of chapters on "Provid-
snee," on "Tha Two Cities"
(which uses of course, st. Au.
sustine as IFS basis), on "chris.
fianify and Historieism" and
and or THE Crucial View of
History"
A separate chapter on 'The
History of Israel" shows the
hard problems that the very
existence of that people poses
for the historian who would
eliminate a consideration of
Providence from his reckon
ing.
In a final %summing-up, DR..
Darcy asks ,"Can Christianity
make any contribution to the
understanding of hiStory?"
and he answers: "The answer,
I think, lies not in trying to
correct or improve upon the
historian, nor, again after the
manner of Bossuet, in trying
to determine the place and
function of the Greeks and
Persians-not to speak Of the
Aztecs and the Maoris-in re-
lation of the Christian relig-
ion.
'"The Christian religion is
concerned with the Revela-
ton of Gods affection for
man and mans relation to
God. Out of this Revelation
we may garner something
which may throw a light upon
man and his slow development
through the ages, and so per-
haps enlarge our vision of hui
man efforts and human
achievements, even as the

MOTHER VIRTUE
Josef Pieper's Prudence
pantheon, 1918 completes
his tetralogy of small but ex-
tremely helpful studies of the
cardinal virtues; though he
has left it to the last, he points
out that Prudence is ''the mold
and mother of all the other
cardinal virtues (and) none
but the prudent man can be
just, brave, and temperate,
and the good man is good only
in so far as he is prudent"
DR.. Pieper then goes on TO
discuss some of the modern
errors about this virtue: that,
for instance, it consists only
in stunning danger or in re-
fusing commitment. These
views are wrong, but on the
other hand il is true that
"The special nature of Pru'
denee is its concern with the
realm of ways and means and
down.to-earth realities" which
should commend it to practical
moderns.
The right use of memory.
the exercise of docility and of
a quickness of action, the
avoidance of covetousness and
excessive love Of self - all
of these are connected with
this virtue. An especially
beautiful concluding section
relates prudence to charity.

The tireless Katherine

popular contribution to
our knowledge of distin-

groups in the history of
American Catholicity.
This time it concerns our
own Dominican Sisters of st.
Mary of the Springs. Make

terestingly, if briefly, the his.
tory of one OF the oldest
Observation-Disclosures religious
communities, with its mother
house in Columbus since 1868,

The Columbus community
traces its origin directly TO
the little group of women in
Springfield, Kentucky, who in
1922 responded to the appeal
of the Dominican Father Sam
vel Wilson fer help in sstab.
fishing a sisferhood devoted
TO teaching.
The original dedication OF
the Kentucky community to
st. Mary Magdalene was
changed a few years later to
st. Catherine of Siena, still
