Time To Get Habit
BY MARTHA

West, Messner, $2.95. Her stub
born determination and hard
work enable her TO scrounge
an existence for herself and
her son. She even manages
to reach her goal of a medical
career. This enraged the citi-
zens of the day (the late
1800's) and her str uggles
we're far from ended. We
cannot advocate all Of the
things that she later cham
pioned but her life is well
presented.
Careers are always of in
terest to girls so those with a
yen for modelling will want
to look at A Hatbox For Mimi
by Marjory Hall, Funk and
Wagnalls, $2.95 Mimi had to
take the selling route to reach
her modelling goal. You will
get lots of looks into back
stage department store model
ing. Unfortunately the author
makes the parents ap p e
slightly dense and immature
and Minis rise to success
appears to be a little too spec
tacular but those with an in
terest in modelling will still
want to see the story.
OLDER BOYS WILL enjoy
Coral Reef casfaway a well
written tale by Peter ballard,
Criterion, $3.50. There is fast

young Con Murray is swept
overheard during a battle
between killer whales. He
manages to SWIM to an UNI
charted coral island and is
confronted by old Ginty and
the prospect of a vast trea-
sure of pearls to be dived for.
Their battle with unscrupu-
lous robbers is exciting and
believable.
For the very young listen

FIVE YARDS TO GLORY
by Wilfred Mccormick is an
other football story featur-

published by Mckay for $500.
The young coach finds that

along well and is literally
sprinkled with hard hitting
football. For boys grade five

are called-but that you
know it all comes from God.
The more soaring your
sense of the splendor for what
you are, and what you are
called to, the more sublime
your humility can be.
ST. FRANCIS was the hum
blest of men-but his vision
of mans destiny was so glor-
ious that sometimes he found
himself bodily lifted in &c.
tasy toward God.
He chose obscurity and pow
erty-but tipped the balance
of the world. He transformed
millions, and transforms them
still. His holiness is a force
greater than empires.
To the magnificence of man
and his destiny, the attention
of humanity, soon will be call
ed by the approaching world
council of the Church.
Human history will be pro-
foundry affected by this as
sembly. If it achieves what
Pope John hopes for it, the
augmentation of mankind will
be halted, and a coming-to-
gether in understanding and
love will begin.
THERE is NOBODY alive
who does not have a stake in
this council. It will remind us
vigorously of the splendor of
the truth about what we are,
and what we ought to rise to.
Each of us, therefore, ought
to see to it that we make our
personal contribution to the
success of this gathering.
Do not think for one mo.
ment that it is all up to Pope
John and the other bishops. 1t
is up to us, too. The minds and
hearts of men and women
must be made ready by Gods
grace for a new era for the
family of humanity.
In prayer, in almsgiving, in
repentance for sin, in an in
spired turning to the nobility
of our creation and our des-
tiny, let us all contribute gen.
erously, so that the council
will achieve everything pos
sible in the service of God
and man.

What Then Are You
BY M. ]. MURRAY

Mans chief need today
is rediscovery Of himself.
While we are exploring

ferrous frontiers of our
own magnificence.

forgotten how almost unbe-

pricelessness.
Language itself reflects our
lack of vision about what we
are and what we are meant
to be.
Words limp and fall the mo-
ment we ask them to bear the
burden of expressing the mag
nificence of human beings.
We have an odd phrase; we
say, mo matter how humble"
somebody is.
USING THE WORD in that
way we distort it. We make it
mean, "no matter how unim-
portant."
But there is no such thing
there will never be any such
thing-as an unimportant hui
man being.
Indeed, no thought of man
or angel can completely en-
compass the heighth and
depth of the Importance of ev-
cry last one of us.
God alone can grasp that in
its totality.
We on earth cannot do
more than use feeble examples
and parallels.
IF WE HAVE some notion
of what a human being is, and
what his existence means, we
tumble and grope with words
like the "kingship" and
"queenship" in the attic mpt
to suggest the reality.
We say that we are all
meant for nobility, for royalty.
But earthly royalty is a triv-
ial, passing thing. 1t does not
really matter whether you and
I are born to the castle, or to
the hut.
What matters is that we are
destined, if we will accept our
destiny, to be sons and daugh-
tiers of God himself.
Forever we are to share His
life and His riches.
We know that this means
that we are to partake of an
infinity and a perfection of
beauty and goodness and truth
and therefore to be happy
beyond the widest possible
flights of the most soaring
Imagination.
mo MATTER how humble"
what an expression
In that sense, the sense of
being of small consequence,
no one is humble; God forbids
it.
True humility is the virtue
that underlies all virtue. But
it must be a right humility,
not a muddIed distortion.
Humility means that you
glimpse the greatness in which
you were created, and the
timeless heights to which you

The boys down Capitol way, Washington, that is), have had their entire schedule disrupt ed by the great debate which con- tinues to rage on the hill. Sen. Gr1ening's newsletter will give you an inkling of the proceedings as our Southern gentlemen hold the floor on the civil rights bill.

The session, which began at noon Monday, was broken by only one 15minute re- cess as senators from the South spoke extensively in opposition to any action; on civil rights.
 Senator Grnening identified him. self with a group of Democratic heberals pledged to passage of the strongest possible civil rights bill. The features advocated by this group include D an effective vet ing rights provision, 9 authority for the. attorney general to en- force the 14th amendment, 3 technical and financial assistance to school districts doing away with segregation and 4) if necessary, the invoking of closure to cut off debate and bring the civil rights issue. to. a, vote.
