The King, wearing black coat with broad gold
sashes across his shoulders, stood slightly
raised platform the far end of the Audience Hail.
His Majesty addressed US to the effect that he was
happy have the unexpected opportunity Of receiv-
ing the Japanese ENJOYS. After Shimmi rendered
our deep gratitude, we retired to seats in the
other room. Then We we're again ushered into the
Audience Hall.
The Queen stood where the King had been at the
first presentation. Her Majesty, whose name was
Emma, appeared to be "a or Is, and was dignihed
and beautiful, though dark in complexion. She wore
an elaborate dress of delicate material, which ex-
posed her shoulders and the upper part of her
bosom. Her voluminous skirt of some material like
brocade spread in gorgeous folds. Around her bare
neck she strings of precious stones. With her
serene beauty and strange ornaments, she appeared
before my eyes more like the living Buddha himself.
As we advanced and bowed before her, Her Majesty
nodded graciously in acknowledgement. The pres
entation being over, the Queen retired on the arm
of one of the high-ranking generals.

Later as | reviewed the occasion in my mind, it
seemed just like strange dream, although had
heard much about the strange manners and customs
from those shipwrecked who had come drifting to
our shores.

THE POWER OF FAITH

The double door on Jones street in San Francisco
looks like garage entrance 1t has no sign; no
street number. There is nothing to identify it as
"The Miracle of Jones Street" Inside is the ST.
Anthony Dining Room, testimony to mans faith
and charity which has witnessed the passage of
million hungry men and women in the past 10 years
The dining room was established by the Franciscan
Fathers for persons of all creedS colors and races
who need meal here and now and to assist those
who are unable to obtain lodging and work. 1t was
constructed on faith-trade union members donated
their time and services to build it. 1t is provisoned
on faith-anonymous wholesalers and merchants
give generously and refuse to be known benefac-
tors. 1t operates faith-some 200 helpers, house
wives and Office workers. serve the wholesome meals.

VINO WrOL6 mOSG OF Cn6 DOOkS
of the Bible" The authorship
of a few books is doubtful. Most
Protestants believe that the
New Testament Epistle to the
Hebrews is by an unknown au-
thor. On the other hand. it Is
the belief of the Roman Cath
olic Church that this book was
written by st. Paul.
Some biblical scholars be-
lieve that several writers par
ticipated in composing the first
five books of the Bible known
to Jews as the Torah and to
Christians as the Pentateuch.
On the other hand, there are
many-both Christians and
Jews-who believe that Moses
wrote these five books. But the
authorship of the vast majority
of the books of the Bible is we'll
established.
Obviously, some early docu-
ments have been lost. Some of
these were the bases upon
which later writings were COM
piled. Recent discovery of the
so-called Dead Sea scrolls
have corroborated this theory.
No writings in all history
have been so thoroughly studied
and authenticated as have been
the writings of the Bible.
Question: Does the Bible say
we must not celebrate holi-
days-or give or receive blood
transfusion?"
Answer: On the contrary. the
Bible definitely advocates the
observance of holidays. This,
Of course, does not apply to all
holidays, but there are careful
instructions in the Torah indi-
eating how holy days and reli-
gious festivals are to be OBJ
served.
AS for blood transfusions,
there is nothing in the Bible
which prevents them. However,
1t was 'an ancient belief by
Semites and other early cul-
lures that the spiritual aud
psychological qualities of one
person could be transferred to
another person who either con-
sumed or was sprinkled with his
blood. 1t also was an ancient
custom to admit a person to|
kinship in particular clan by
the exchange of blood with a
member of that clan.

Question: why do many
Evening star., 1960-06-04

ProtestaFts CAIN that Roman
Catholics worship statues?"
Answer: When anyone claims
anything which does not hap
pen to be true, we can always
assume that the claim is based
upon ignorance or lack of in
formation.
In keeping with other, Chris
tian churches, the Roman
Catholic Church insists that
worship is to be offered only to
God, Himself. Furthermore,
the Roman Catholic Church,
following the Injunction of the
lave of the Book of Genesis,
forbids the making of any
images of God. Therefore,
images cannot be worshipped.
On the other hand, the Ro-
man Catholic Church does
favor the veneration of saints.
This is not the same as wor-
ship. st. Thomas Aquinas
wrote in his "Summa Theo-
logica," these words: 1T is
clear that we ought to honor
the saints of God as members
of Christ"
The Second Council of Nicaea
in 787 set down laws regulating
the veneration of images. The
council specifically forbade
worship of images but did per-
NIT honor" to be paid to them
and said, "he who pays rever-
ence to the image. pays rever-
ence to the person it depicts"
Question: Recently I saw a
nun on a popular television
quiz show. Her occupation
was dentistry and she had her
own Office outside the convent.
l was wondering II it is possible
for a nun to appear on tele-
viSion?"
Answer: The lady you saw in
religious garb must have been
a sister" rather than a nun.
Strictly speaking. a nun is a
member of a religious order
which is clustered. She would
not appear on a television show
and she would not be prac-
ticing dentistry. Under certain
conditions, however, a sister
might appear on television.
