ques waylays them and kills
Rosalie, at once confessing
the murder to the priest.
When the body is found,
the police know only that FIR.
Clivaz was with the girl. and
he is accused and convicted
of her murder, being unable,
of course, because of the sac
ramental seal, to accuse the
real killer.
BUT THE INVESTIGATING
judge is not satisfied with
the evidence or the verdict,
and eventually finds his way
to jacques imprisoned wife,
who duplicates her husband
and all is cleared up. M. Ter
matten writes with a great
deal of power and the ability
to communicate the spiritual
states of his characters.
The main fault of the book,
I should say, is that the melo-
dramatic idea of a priest
falsely accused but unable to
reply because the real Grim
inal has confessed to him, has
been used again and again.
This weakness of plot under
mines most of the rest of the
book, so that the struggle be-
tween good and evil which
the author means to communi-
cate, is not so impressive as
it might have been. Too, the
authors style is not always
clear, and there is a switch
ing back and forth between
narrative voices that confuses.
But this is. on the whole, an
honest and absorbing novel.

1t is irrational and unjust,
but it will do us no good to
strike blindly back against it.
We have to live patiently with
it and realize that it does not
represent the entire Protest
ant viewpoint and is utterly
distasteful to much Of what is

ism.
The picture is blurred many
times by the fact that many of
the intellectual" DIRECTORS
still have a suppressed touch
of irrational anti-C Catholicism
from the days of their youth.
Nor are the wild bigots above
parroting the arguments they
hear from their intellectual
betters.
HOW STRONG THIS bigotry
is may we'll be doubtful.
Whether it was really decisive
in 1928 has been questioned
by political scientists who adj
nit that Smith did lose cleo
toral votes in the South, but
also contend that his percent
age of the popular vote across
the nation was twice that of
the previous Democratic can
didate.
Whether religious feeling
could sway the present cleo
ton is not at all certain. In
deed it may not even be Ger
tain after the election. If a
close election is decided eth
er way by obviously religious
considerations and nothing
else, it would be an unmitigat-
ed disaster for the winning
candidate, for all organized
religion and for the whole ma
ton.
1T WOULD BE ALMOST as
bad if the inevitable increase
of religious i'll feeling during
the campaign led to a drastic
curtailment of attempt at SER
ious communication and I'M
derstanding among sincere
men of good faith.

fierce fanaticlsm attempted a
revival of paganism and with
some success. But the mott
walton of his zeal remains
clouded and obscure.
Father Riocciotti's biogra-
ply of Julian provides the
answers to this enigma. The
hatred of Christianity evil
denced in the reign of Julian
is rooted in his hatred for
nominal Christians. His early
environment was spent among
Arians, who still insisted they
were Christian.
HIS oWN UNCLE, the En-
,peror Constantius, had MUIR
dered the uncles and brother
of Julian, all the while posing
as a Christian.
Little wonder that Julian
had no respect for h e
Church, confusing as do so
many moderns the Church, its
official teaching and practice
with the scandalous lives of
self-termed Christians.
This antipathy for the
Church led Julian to examine
the merits of paganism. His
study led to a zeal and turned
himself into an unscrupulous
zealot - whose life-work was
the uprooting of everything
Christian.
A CAREFUL READING of
this well-documented work is
rewarding to one who wishes
to understand this turbulent
short-lived revival of pagan
ism. One wonders if the term
"Apostate" applied really to
Julian. It is doubtful under
the circumstances of his early

they object is the Implication
that religion is not a body Of
knowledge. or is not import
ant enough to merit any at
tention in education.
| hold two general PROPOSE
tons in this matter:
First: the wishes of all par
ents, and the consciences Of
all children, should be re-
spected in public education.
Methods can be devised for
doing so. Court actions such
as the one in Dade County
are clearing the way for a
new approach; and all citizens
should be interested in find
ing the right approach.
Second: parents who feel
bound in conscience to send
their children to independ-
ent schools in which religion
is given full attention as the
integrating inspiration in edu-
cation, should not be unduly
penalized, financially , for
making that choice.
| do not see why fairmind-
ed citizens of all faiths, or
none, cannot agree generally
on the justice of those two
propositions. Certainly relig-
ious parents, who are in the
great majority, cannot abdi-
cate their responsibility and
let public school policy be
dictated by an irreligious min
GRITTY.
My interest is in justice for
all, and in preservation of the
religious heritage which Gre
ated and informs our ciyiliza-
ton; which gave us the inn
mortal words, I'VE hold these
truths to be self-evident, that
all men are endowed by
their Creator with certain in
alienable rights and that
to secure these rights, gov
ernmentS are instituted :"
Democracy does not mean,
and cannot be permitted to
mean, that the most extreme
atheist is to have the last
word about public education;
that the tiny minority shall
tyrannize the vast majority
in this matter.
THAT THE ATHEIST and
the agnostic have rights, | do
not deny; | assert it. But /
repudiate emphatically the
tendency toward the notion
that the rest of us have no
rights.
Historically, public schools
in America and in some other
nations have tended to be, in
some degree, protestant
schools. They are gradually
ceasing to have that character
as the RESULT of various court
decisions.
1t would be a most serious
error, though, to leave a
vacuum as a consequence OF
such rulings.
Ny plea is that we now
seize the opportunity to make
provision in public education
for meeting the wishes of all
parents concerning their chill
dren.
With good will and fair
play, this can be done. Then a
serious cause of misunder-
standing and antagonisms
among citizens will have been
removed, and the public
schools will have been freed
from the irreligious Or anti
religious wise that has been
closing on them.
