their next to last inspection
before moving permanently to

The reserviStS' move to the new

in July, but construction was
held up by the winter weather.
The inspection yesterday was
conducted by Capt. E. M.

Capt. Stever, a veteran of
antiSubmarine warfare, said
Reserve flyers were restricted
at AnacoStia. "At Andrews, I"
he said, well have ground
control approach facilities,
which we don't have here"
Other facilities that won't be
missed, said an aide, are the
hangers used by reServists.
Think Of it." he said. "These
hangars were built during
World War I, shipped to
France, brought back to the
States and set up here"
But airmen set on going up
in jets probably will have to
swallow their desires and just
stare at the long airStrips at
Andrews because the Navy's
budget isn't calling for jets to
be used by the weekend

itual. as to be called to the

DESPITE MY OWN personal
esteem for such an individual,
Father Raymond is gifted with
a keen intelligence, a vast
knowledge of diverse subjects
and a free flowing style which
makes "NOW" a masterpiece
of spiritual philosophy for
laymen.

it gathers up a curious
planet underground; He was
born in a cave. No one knew,
at first, but His mother and
her virgin husband; and as
conspirators often are, they
were poor, they were un-
known, they we're disregarded.
STILL, THERE WERE rum
ors on earth, and there was
apprehension in one small
part of the government that
ruled the known world. Wise
men had come out of the
strange East, inquiring for a
newborn king to whom a star
was leading them; and the
reigning king of the area was
superStitiously disturbed.
He ordered the scrolls con-
suited, the Scriptures search
ed; and having been told
where the prophecies said the
Child would appear, he sent
soldiers to kill Him and thus
destroy the Good Conspiracy.
But he was not contesting
with mere human ingenuity,
but with WHINE wisdom; and
the Baby lived because He had
been taken away into exile.
He WAS A REFUGEE. But
he was only waiting; His time
would come. He would be kill
ed in the end, and it would
seem that the Good Conspir-
acy had been smashed for
ever. But it would only seem
so. In death the Virgins Son
would conquer; the Conspir-
acy would spread out from its
little beginnings. and one by
one would overthrow the en-
trenched positions of the spir-
its of wickedness in high
places.
It is still a Conspiracy of lit
tie people, even when they are
great people. 1t will always be
so because the heart of it is
humility. Only the humble,
however exalted, can be part
of it, That is why it is child
like. That is why, for all its
seriousness, all its strange
strength, all its sacrifices, it
is a rollicking thing.
That is why it brings trees
from the forest and decor
ates them with colored lights;
why it sings carols and puts
packages in gay wrappings for
the delight of children. In the
Good Conspiracy, everybody
is a child.

it can only be slowed now and
then. 1t is like an immense
flood flowing every which
way; it is the wave, always
the wave, of the future.
'F THERE HAS NEVER been
any other conspiracy exactly
like it, although it has had its
foreshadowings in the past,
and its imitators since, 1t is
odd, no doubt about that-it
is hundreds of millions of peo-
pie plotting how to give hap
piness to one another, how to
express their love for their
felloWmen.
They are scheming, too, over
ways of showing forth a
strange JOY that they feel.
They decorate their homes and
cities; they make the world
youthful and gay.
1t is the way of conSpiracies
to begin in obscurity. But the
origins of this one are etern-
ally hidden. They are rooted
in an infinite silence and an
utter invisibihty, where eye
cannot see nor ear hear; in the,
inscrutable councils Of the
Trinity, in the mysterious will
of God.
In one of the Masses of the
Nativity octave, the a~ctivation
of the Conspiracy is related:
while all the world was in
quiet silence, and the night
was in the midst of her course,
Thy eternal word, o Lord,
lept down from Thy royal
throne"
On earth a messenger had
come to a maiden, greeting
her: Hail, full of grace" She
would bear a son, he said.
And when she asked how that
could be, since she was VOW
ed to perpetual virginity, he
replied gently that the power
of the Most High would over
shadow her, and her little
one would be known as the
Son Of God.

hidden in darkness and isola-
ton. The Child came to our

anger is always out of place.
Parental anger is a good
thing if it is in proportion to
the crime and the criminal.
Reward and punishment, APP
proval and disapproval are eX-
ternal controls. Your child
has been disciplined when he
no longer needs these external
controls in order to live a full
mature Christian life, then he
has become a follower with

IN FOLLOWING CHAPTERS,
Father Raymond stresses ac-
ceptance Of reality. our grow

fact that so many Of US think

He points out that it is God
alone. who in His omnipotent,
