The Assumption

one destroys the temple of God, him
will God destroy; for holy is the temple
of God, and this temple you are" IL
Cor, 3.16, ~.
Unfortunately, there seems TO be
little recognition of This dignity of man
today. Yet. unless We are conscious OF
this truth it is SO easy to fall info a GER
tain naturalism of living Much of the
confusion of our times in manners,
decorum and dress flows from U
ignoring This truth and the fact that our
nature has been wounded. Perhaps we
can understand why our young people
tend to q naturaiistie way of life and
why they pursue and try 10 initiate the
modern apostles of naturaIism when
they find no higher ideaIism among
adults. 1t is so easy TO be caught up in
the spirit of our times. Yet because of
our dignity and supernatural destiny
we must exercise . certain indepen-
dence, making our habits of living
square with what we know 10 be true.
II is difficult sometimes TO stand against
The flood but there is found true peace
and Joy.
So while we rejoice In this great
privilege of Mary LET us remember that
the greatest praise is imitation and we
can honor Mary most by striving to
model our lives after her example. This
means that we examine all things, what
we read, what we see, our name OF
dress and our habits of living through
her eyes. The privilege of the Assump-
ton was a gift Of God to His Mother, yet
she by the holiness of her life made it
a fitting gift. Our supernatural destiny
also is a gift of God, may we follow
Mary in making it also a fitting gift.

"A great sign appeared IN heaven:
a woman clothed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon her head
a crown of twelve stars" (Apoc. II, IL.
Thus begins the lntroit of tomorrow's
Mass when we celebrate the feast of the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
into heaven. On this holyday all Catho-
lies in our country will publicly rejoice
in the fact that Mary was exempt from
one of the chief effects of original sin,
the corruption and decay of the tomb.
After she finished the course OF her
earthly life, Mary was assumed. body
and soul. into heaven where she lives
in the blessedness of the presence of
God.

great feast of Our Lady we are led TO

lousy come back to life TO share in the
reward or punishment of the soul.
We are SO accustomed TO thinking
of heaven as q dwelling place OF spirits,
SO conscious too of the constant strug-
Gle between our spirit and the flesh
that it is almost with q start that we
realize that heaven is q place where
our body will also feel very much at
home. indeed, there could be no COM
plete happiness for Us in heaven without
this resurrection.
Our body, then, has a real dignity
which flows from the greatness of its
destiny and especially from our divine
adoption which includes the presence
of God dwelling within the Christian in
the state of grace, DO YOU not know
that you are the temple of God and that

Be Ready
For End
by Fir. Heniey

@. Is the end OF the world
and ths Second Coming OF
Christ likely 70 come in 1850
A. The naming OF dates and
wild speculation on the end
of the world and the Second
Coming is never sanctioned
by the Church. We are given
an awe-insplring picture of
the last days in the Gospels
and in the Apocalypse but not
with the idea that we should
be anxious about the date or
preoccupied with that event.
The important thing is to be
prayerful and live devoted
Christian lives so that We can
be ready for the particular
or general judgment at any
time. See st. Matthew 24:23-
81, especially verse 36: But
of that day and hour no one
knows, not even the angels of
heaven, but the Father only"
We are expected to use the
biblical passages and such
private revelations as those
at Fatima with the 1860 let
ter, etc. as motives for en-
enlargement and persever-
snce in our daily lives, to bear
suffering and injustice and
the burden of an active Chris
tian life.

association would be avail

Sum and Substance:
Red Visit Hard Pill .
But Nav Ease Tension
By Fr. John b. Sheerin, esp.

recently recommended pro-
longing negotiations TO avert
war and fhis invitation would
be . diplomatic gesture TO
prevent an outbreak of war
over Berlin.
The foreign ministers have
failed to solve the Berlin
problem and this visit would
be at least a means Of fore
Sailing Khrushchev's demands
for a showdown over Berlin.
Then too he will have a chance
to see this country about
which he has such a monu-
mental ignorance.
Vice-President Nixon at the
Fordham Alumni dinner this
year said that a good result
OF Mikoyan's visit was that he
got rid OF the psrty-Iine idea
that American capitalism is
heading for the rocks. He
came here thinking that
American workers were on
the verge of revolution against
the capitalists but TO his sur
prise, American Labor was
much more hostile TO him than
was American business. Pos
sibly Khrushchev might shed
a few of his wrong notions
about America.
There is, however, one angle
of the visit that can be full
of danger for us. We Ameri-
cans are an easy-golng, gull
lible people. Europeans r
constantly telling us that We
are too ready TO believe a
takers profession of sincerity.
A great many Americans
were duped in the 30s and be
came admirers OF the MarXist
revolution. We are easily
swayed and all too ready to
wax ecstatic over a crooner
or get excited over some
event Remember how Ameri-
cans were almost hysterical

Store Sought

Owners Of the 1000 Mass

yesterday defended a rezoning
petition before the District
Board Of Zoning Adjustment.
Attorney Norman c. Glas-
COW said his clients seek to
install combination drug
store. delicatessen and beauty
narlor. for use exclusively Of
the apartments tenants. He
promised that the owners
would specify that no outside
business would be solicited.
He was stopped short, how
ever. by board chairman Sam
/ uel Scriveuer, who asked:
Don't the same people that
own the Berkshire apartments

Avenue?"
/ When told that they did,
4 Mr.. Scrivener pointed out that
the same promises had been
made for the Berkshire. 1T Is
common knowledge the persons
running the Berkshire facilities
bsrraged nearby residents. In
viting them in to use the COM
mercial facilities" he said.
The area is zoned for resi-
dental use and the Board Of
Zoning Adjustment had per-
mitted installation Of the stores
in November, 1854. as a nom
conforming use for the conven-
fence Of Berkshire residents
only.
Nov, aren't you in the posi-
ton of asking us to put the
weasel in the hen house?" Mr..
Scriyener asked.
Mr.. Glasgow said he had
not handled the Berkshire
! case but would see to it that
If a n-conforming use were
granted 400 Massachusetts
Avenue that all stipulations OF
the coming board would be met.
Among the conditions he
would gladly agree to. Mr.
Glasgow said, would be that
no exits from the shops to the
outside of the building would
exist, that no solicitation Of
outside business would be
made and that no signs would
be placed outside the apart
ment to indicate the facflitie;

forming use was registered by
