The
Rambler
Hears A
Summit Conference
By JOHN McKELWAY

The one gap in the Ram
bler'S knowledge of baseball
was due to the lack of a
chance to observe the Mimi
eSota TripletS, the new
American League team at
tempting to represent the
cities of st. Paul, Mime
apoliS and New Ulm.
Finding these people will
ing to exhibit themselves in
public, the Rambler, who
knows that Francis (Bruce)
Ogrodowski was a catcher
with st. Louis from 1885 to
1887 and carries a lifetime
b ting average of .231
around with him, decided to
examine the visitors.
The TripletS are unimpreS-
sive. They play poorly in,
cold weather and are heavi-
ly stated with a bunch of
Cubans who will probably
have arm trouble late in the
season in Minnesota.
One of their troubles lies
with the manager of the
team, a man named Harry
(Cookie) Lavagetto. Ap-
parently, it is hard for him
to communicate with ath-
letes.
This was noted in the later
innings of Fridays contest
when Manager Lavagetto
tried to talk to his pitcher,
a lefthander named James
(Kitty) Kaat.
The Rambler, who can
hear mound conferences,
jotted down the following
exchange:
Cookie-Kitty, keep 'em
low and wide to Coot.
Kitty-Cookie, pull Killer
in and have Zorro stay back
and I will Intentionally pass
the next batter.

like Sub-zero weather, at

Of the most significant
points concerning tonight's

while we are discussing base

that I think I have a silly

Making Marriage Click
Family Prayers Should Be
Personal, Brief, Varied
by Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

PRAYER, THEN, is, in its
broad sense, the basic rea-
son for a family's existence.
Properly speaking, prayers
should be said by the whole
family and not by the mother
alone, or the father alone, or
the children alone. The father
should definitely be there as
head; he represents the fam
lily not only in society but also
before God. The mother, too,
is irreplaceable. She is the
heart of the family.
In what should the family
prayers consist? First, pray
er must be a conversation with
God. Therefore, families need
to know Gods mind. God
speaks to couples directly but
also through the Gospels and
the Bible. After a passage
from Scripture has been read,
silence is necessary if the
meaning of Christ's words are
TO penetrate.
CHARLES PEcUY has OBJ
served wisely: Fortunate are
the two friends who love each
other enough to keep silent
when together in a land which
offers silence" In family pray
er the two friends could
mean the family; the 'land''
could be the home. It is often
during this period of silence
that young children first learn
to communicate with God.
BUT PRAYER LIFE in the
mind of a child should first
be associated with his par
ents. The impression of par
entS on their knees reverent-

Frightening Prospect

The August issue of REDBO0K magazine carries
the results of a national survey conducted by a public
opinion research firm which polled students at eight
leading Protestant divinity schools. including the Yale
School of Divinity and Union Theological Seminary.
The findings are frightening:
u More than half of the seminarisns polled re-
garded the virgin birth of Christ as a myth;
q A similar number denied the Ascension of our
Lord into heaven;
81 Almost fhree-fourths of these theological stu
dents have no faith at all in the idea of heaven or hell;
a. Only two per cent of those questioned took
original sin seriously
81 The same small percentage held The minority
view that the immortality of man is . major tenet of
The Christian faith.
Now we are well aware that too much can be
made of surveys. Sometimes unwarranted conclu-
ions are drawn from such S~amplings. But the fact that
so many of those quered deny these basic doctrines
OF Christianity is a cause for concern.
NO WONDER SO MANY Protestants regard their
churches as mere social clubs. No wonder there are
over 90 million Americans who profess no formal re-
hglon-could not their indifference be occasioned by
the travesty OF Christian" ministers and students who
do not believe in Christianity?
AS CATHOLICS WE should make reparation for
their unbelief. We should hold fast to our divinely-re-
vealed doctrines with renewed faith. W. should be
conscious of the obligation TO know our religion well.
AND WE SHOULD say the Apostles Creed daily
for the intention of these unfortunate Protestant semi
narlanS who contradict the very principles they should

Sunday Closing

Exodus and Deuteronomy tell us that the seventh
day of the week was designated by God as a day of
rest "~sanctified to the Lord" When the Apostolic
Church changed that day from Saturday to Sunday
the spirit of the day remained the same. For Christ
ians, Sunday was to be a day consecrated to God
through hearing Mass, resting from work, and having
time to think of God.
DUR NATION WAS founded upon such Christian
traditions and Sunday has always been a special day
for Americans. This is true even for citizens who have
no Christian affiliation, as was verified recently by the
decision of the Y. S. Supreme Court.
States and communities have framed laws TO safe
g~uardathe Sunday observance in the interests of the
common welfare. There are difficulties in the applica-
ton of such statutes, to be sure, but each individual
citizen cannot be a law unto himself In this matter
or anarchy Wo Id result.
RECENTLY IN FRANKLIN County a group of
citizens has formed the Greater Columbus Sunday
Association to urge business men to voluntary com
pliance with the Ohio law on this subject. (See story
page one and ad page twelve).
The group in question is approaching this from a
social and economic aspect pointing out that a wide
open city with a seven-day work week will disrupt
family and community life and lead to a materialistic
view of Sunday.
Catholic citizens need no such urging. We know
that Sunday is the Lords Day which We observe by
assisting at Mass and refraining from anything at
variance with the spirit of the day.
Catholics know that they may not conduct business
on Sunday, that they are not permitted TO work on
sundaY-or make purchases on Sunday, except in cases
of necessity and those industries and services which
contribute TO the public good.
Needless to add, Catholics in Columbus and else
where III the Diocese favor any community effort to
maintain our country's traditional observance of
Sunday.
Butfwe do not stop there, For lis Sunday, does
not merely mean refraining from those things which
profane the Lords Day II is a sacred day. dedicated

ship Him in a special way and Who beStows upon us a
time for rest and relaxation that we might serve Him

Last week we discuss
ed conjugal prayers, Con
jugal prayers soon grow
into family prayers. The
why" of family prayers
is often misunderstood. Some
say family prayers because it
is a touching custom" "a ira
dition," "a duty" These rea-
sons are not convincing.
FAILURE TO KNOW the
true purpose Of family pray
ers is, no doubt, a main reason
why some parents allow chill
dren only Ito be there" and
not to participate. This may
also explain why some bur
riedly use formula prayers:
formulas they don't under
stand. 1t also explains why
some mothers pray with their
children in one part of the
house while fathers read their
papers in another part. This
is a caricature of family
prayer.
Family prayer is primarily
an act of worship. The family
as a church in miniature"
shares some of the purposes
of the Church Herself: to wor-
ship as well as to govern, to
teach, and to sanctify. Chill
dren are brought into the
world mainly to give worship
TO God. In and through Christ
they are to give honor to
God in the name of the
whole world. This fact needs
to be understood by children
or they will rarely persevere
in family prayer.

ly making the sign of the cross
and speaking to God is inestI-
mable. Prayer should not one
ly be associated with school
or school teachers, but with
a child'S whole life and with
his parents.
The use of the liturgy is
also indispensable for sue
cesSfut family prayers. These
prayers are to be Joined with
all members of the Church
and thus become an act of the
Church. AS in attending Mass,
we share the 400 1000 or more
Masses celebrated each day
In the world.
AGAIN TO SUCCEED in
family prayers, the intentions
OF each member of the fam
lily should be called for. These
intentions are gathered as a
Collect in the Mass. Each
member announces his lnten-
tons out loud. Parents first
publicly recite their own In
tentions. They can in this way
teach their children how to
speak spontaneously to their
heavenly Father, and show
them how to make up their
own prayers. Family prayers
should last no more than ten
inmates. They should be alive.

quality is especially neces~
Sary.
Do family prayers benefit
the family even in this
world? They surely increase
the unity in a family. Father
