showed arid patches into the
brilliant perspectives disclosed
by Bartok. Here is music to
test the players, and the lis
teners, too. 1t is difficult to
realize that it was written so
long ago as 1908. AS its three
movements flowed into each
other, excitement mounted,
and when IT was finished there
was some pounding on the
seats as well as the expected
applause.
The post intermission
Brahms was completely salts
flying. 1t was given a reading
of sweep and restrained power,
with a hypnotic swaying eff

and soaring solos in the final

Something, a vagrant draft
of cooler air in the auditorium,
or the little gremlins which lie
in wait for unwary string
players, took its toll of the
four matched Stradivari in
struments, and more than the
usual amount Of tuning took
place on stage. These pauses
gave the audience time to di-
gest what had gone before, as
we'll as to release suppressed
coughs. Remembering how
over heated the hall used to
be on concert nights, the draft
was appreciated, no matter
what it does to finely tuned
strings.

Eisenhower Says U. S. Confidence

CHICAGO, Sept. Is (AP).-
Former President Eisenhower
said tonight it would be fatal
if Americas spirit of conf
dence and dedication should
ever give way to despair and
fear.
Over our shoulders and
around us We see the dangers
of our existence, but We must
steadfastly refuse to abandon
those priceless rights guaran-
teed us on July 4, 1776." Mr.
Eisenhower said in an address
prepared for a Republican
fund-raising rally.
The occasion was the S1oo-
a-plate testimonial dinner
honoring Illinois senior United
States Senator, Everett NJ
Dirksen. About 1000 guests
attended the affair at Nc

Says Initiation Is Bad
On monopoly: "One imbal-

monopoly, a continuing menace
to our free system. 1t is bad
when unwisely exercised by gi-

or big business. 1t is equally
bad if irresponsibly exercised
by organized labor. Monopoly
is a result of lack of balance

Initiation: Initiation is bad.
1t is bad whether generated by
spendthrift government or by
industrial price abuses. 1t is
no less bad if caused by unjus-
titled wage increases. or by de-

Movie Censorship
--GAF

Community opinion has been aroused recently by
the Spate Of substandard, Objectionable fins that so
many theatres are showing In the greater Columbus
area. This is also the case in many other parts Of the
Diocese.
AN ATTEMPT HAS BEEN made to introduce
legislation in Columbus City Council to form a censor
ship board. Support for such action has come from
many segments of the community.
Anyone conVersant with the moral implications
of movies could see this coming a long time ago.
When the Supreme Court limited prior censorship
Of films, many in the movie industry loudly proclaim
ed that responsible exhibitors would not abuse the
public interest. But we know those who are concerned
only with the "fast buck" do not know what the word
responsibility means.
so NOW WE HAVE a situation brought on by
many OF the theatre people themselves. Public opinion
Is aroused; the line has to be drawn some place-so
censorship is proposed as a possible solution.
Catholics certainly support any effort to pro-
tect our community, and especially our young people,
from moral harm. We would hope that civil censor
ship would not have to be the answer. But, unfortun-
ately, irresponsible elements in the movie industry,
as with so many citizens in other areas, acknowledge
nothing but police control. They have to be forced to
do what they should be doing in the first place.
WHATEVER HAPPENS TO the censorship pro-
posal, 1t is not enough. Parents have the primary
responsibility to see to it that those under their care
view only acceptable films. Adults as well must avoid
the occasions of sin in this area.
But we must be positive. We must not only avoid
the bad we must patronize the good. The customer at
the box office is the ultimate arbiter as to what will be
shown in our theatres.
IF THE ENTIRE community does not do some
thing positive about this all of us will suffer. CAT

OR, AT LEAST, according
to the uneasy Protestants, a
Catholic majority will look
upon Protestants as an evil to
be tolerated but not as a
group of persons whose rell-
gious freedom should be re-
Spected. The Protestant fears
are not groundlesS. There are
Catholic th%eologians who
teach the above doctrine but
DR.. McDonagh pointed out
that there is another school"
of Catholic theologianS who
disagree.
The Irish theologian felt
that the answer to the prob
lem lies in the fact that God
Himself has given to man
freedom of conscience and
this right must be revered.
In this the theologian was
echoing many other Catholic
thinkers who regard religious
freedom as an innate right
and not a mere privilege
granted by the state for rea-
sons of expediency.
ONE OF THE MOST inspIr-
ing expressions of this view
point was that of Cardinal
Feltin of Paris who said in
1855: Freedom lies at the
very heart of Christianity.
Freedom for the sake of free
dom, freedom for the sake
of approaching nearer to God.
Such is the Christian order
which is ours TO promote"

lance: the subject of the Sac
rament Of Matrimony differs
from all others in that a
couple as a couple is involv-
ed. In other sacraments the
subject is an individual. Mar
riage YIELDS, conSecrateS and
sanctifies two souls into a
society. It is the only natural
institution which enjoys the
privilege of entering into the
Mystical Body as an "insti-
tuition"
This cannot be said of a
nation, of a convent or a
monastery. Members of a
monastery, for instance, are
united to the Mystical Body
but as individuals. When a
couple enters the Mystical
Body, Christ wishes with
them to worship the Father
and to mediate for the entire
world. The very best time to
honor His Heavenly Father is
during correct conjugal pray
er.
UNLESS YOU MlSuNDER-
STAND, Elizabeth, that the
Sacrament of Matrimony joins
couples to the Mystical Body
and adds dignity as well as a
new duty you will be constant
ly disappointed in conjugal
prayer. Remember that Christ
unites a man and woman in
marriage and intends to start
a sanctuary where He can
worship with and through a
couple in acts of thanksgiving,
alteration, contrition and Pc
tition.

fend and protect the temporal
good of citizens. Therefore it
must respect the right of
religious f~reedom-even if it
is a so-called Catholic state"
AS long as a person does not
offend public order or moral
ity, the State must allow him
to remain undisturbed IN the
following of his conscience.
This applies even to a reason
able and public expression OF
his religious belief.
AS Or. MeDoNAGH SAYS:
"Fair exposition of an in

Some months ago a Eu-
ropean archbishop asked
me if Americans have any
special questions they
would like to see discuss
ed at the ecumenical council.
| replied that the whole ques-
ton of Church-State relations
is uppermost in American
Catholic minds.
WE WOULD LIKE the
council to come forth with a
clear statement on this point.
Our American Bishops have
assured Protestants that we
will continue to respect their
rights of conscience if we be-
come a majority here. But
Protestants want to receive
this assurance from a source
higher than the American
Hierarchy.
We American Catholics are
not alone in our concern. A
powerful Irish voice at an i'm
portant Catholic meeting in
Ireland recently urged that
the Church take a definite
stand in favor of religious
freedom. Speaking at the
fourth Summer School of the
Maynooth Union DR.. McDon'

Elizabeth 6.
During the early
months of marriage,
many young couples pray
together hoping that it
will get them closer to
each other. This, of course,
is good but not good enough.
Many do not know the true
purpose of conjugal prayer.
OBVIOUSLY, IT is not in
tended primarily to benefit
a creature: prayer is directed
toward God 1t is an act of
worship. Personal benefits
can be expected but only sec
or.darily. God has a right to
expect worship and homage
from His creatures.
A Christian couple is more
over automatically consecrat-
ed to Christ. Through Chris
tian marriage, Christ becomes
present in the couple. st. John
Chrysostom says that "a
couple is a church in NINA

ment of Matrimony there is
a strong pact and alliance be-

@. Why would II NOT be
better 10 wait until q child
is old enough 70 understand
before baptiIins him? Is il
not 9 testimonial to faith?
A. The power of the sacra-
ments does not depend on our
faith but upon the action of
God. Christ gives us the basic
reason for insisting upon bap-
tiSm of infants: Unless a
man be born again of water
and the Holy Ghost, he can
not enter into the kingdom
of God" John $50. That this
law applies to children has
been understood from the ear
hest times Matthew 28:19;
Acts 1918: l Corinthians IL
16). ST. Irena@us (140-205)
writes: He came to save all
who through Him are born
again unto God; Infants, child
rem, boys and youths, and ED
ers." st. Cyprian and the
bishops of the Third Council
of Carthage 1883 ADJ taught
that children should be bap-
tized as soon as possible after
birth and that teaching was
affirmed at the Councils of
Fourth Lateran, Vienne, Flo
renee and Trent. Faith is eS-
sential for the Christian, it
is implanted in the soul by
Baptism. A child when he
reaches the use of reason
following the teaching of his
parents and religious teach
ers) will come to understand
and accept the Faith. In the
meantime he has in him the
Life of Christ, Sanctifying
grace. At the time of a child's
First Holy Communion, Con-
firmation, etc, he has occa-
sions to understand and to ac-
cept freely Tor to reject the
