Mysticism With

Reviewed BY JOHN j. ERITScHER

In these days a book on mysticism might well
cause a mad dash to the practical safety of the near
est Launching pad. For the pace of modern living
seems to exclude the non-commercial lft-off of the
spirit into the orbit Of higher mysticism. Mysticism

trouble with the kind of tith-
i~ng-promotion which | crit.
cized is that it attempts to
make tithing morally obliga-
tory - and gravely so - for
everybody, and it also repre-
sents that God will certainly
give worldly prosperity to all
tithers.
Serious errors are involved.
First, tithing is not, emphat-
ically not, morally obligatory
for everybody. Ask any good
theologian. Second, to tell
people that it is obligatory for
everybody does violence on
conSciences. Third, God will
not necessarily reward tithers
in material ways. Fourth, if
one tithes in the hope of ma
terial reward, ones motives
are not very spiritual.
THE SPIRITUAL value Of
tithing lies largely in its vol
untariness - its generosity.
1t is bad for souls and bad
for religion, and therefore ul-
timately bad for parishes, to
allow promoters to try to
brighten people into tithing
by saying. or implying, that
if they don't 1.-THE they are de-
flying God.
Let me refer again to some
of the promotional material
which I found Objectionable.
"Tithing is the acid test of
ones love of God," one leaf
let proclaims. The acid test
of ones love of God is the life
one leads. We can't simply
give ten per cent to religion
and charity and then assume
that we have automatically

income to religion, charity
and philanthropy. I will go
farther. Some few persons are
so wealthy that they should
give 20 or 30 per cent; and
they should seriously consider
whether they do not have
some such obligation.
ONE LETTER charged that
misery Catholics could take
justification from what /
wrote. How is that possible?
/ said that those able to give
should give with great gener-
osity. If q stingy person takes
comfort from that, he must be
a past master in s~elf-decep-
ton.
Probably the misunderstood
ing that has arisen is root
ed in the fact that my critics
did not see the promotional
material which | criticized. /
am confident that there is not
a bishop anywhere who would
not condemn the sort Of
thing / was talking about.
To repeat, I admire tithing.

that before admitting pro-

which it is proposed to use.

points as high government
policy, atomic-energy opera
tons, and electronic equip
ment.
Because of the artificially
fostered climate of opinion
during World War II, there
we're few arrests for Commun-
is espionage. This, of course,
was not the fault of our own
intelligence agencies. Arrest
and prosecution were blocked
by policy decisions at higher
levels.
At the end of the war, the
pattern of Soviet perfidy was
clear. The evidence of both
domestic subversion and plans
for world conquest was over
whelming. Nevertheless, those
who sought to awaken a slum-
bering America faced an up
hill struggle.
TWO MAIN SERIES Of
events brought deluded Amer
leans to their senses. The first
was the dramatic series of
hearings conducted by the
House Committee on Un-Amer-
lean Activities and the SEN
ate Committee on the Judic-
larry during and after 1913.
The second series of events
involved the Soviet Union and
its utterly callous forcing of
communism upon Poland,
East Germany, Czechoslovakia,
Hungary, Rumania, Bull
garia, Yugoslavia and Albania.
Yet the awakening was slow
and painful. Only the invasion
of South Korea, and the COM
mitment of American troops
to its defense, finally Solidi-
fled American opinion.
AS this change was taking
place, aroused Americans act
ed to remove the danger of
Communist infiltration in
areas of p public Importance.
Communists were removed
from government posts SySte-
matically as a result of the
federal loyalty programs.
Communists unions were ex-
PEELED from the CLIO.
Communist writer's and act
ors in Hollywood were no
longer in demand. Newspa-
pers, research groups, and
schools began to clean house.
Front organizations found it
difficult to find dupes. The
Communist movement was
thoroughly discredited in the
American mind.
THE BASIC REASON for
this change is widespread
American disillusio n m
with communism as practiced
in the Soviet Union, China
and the satellites.

There is not a pastor alive
who, if he saw a woman put

implies too much of the ouija
board, the neurotic and the
medieval for the modern taste
of scientific practically.
Hilda Graef's "Mystics of
Our Tines answers this anti
mystical bias with a firm but
gentle hand. The author de-
e m p h ashes extraordinary
mystical experiences" and
shows by means of ten short
biographies of persons who
have lived in the last hundred
years, that a life of deep spir-
ttuality can be lived by men
and women who are very
much engaged in the ordinary
pursuits of life and business.
".... the mystical union
Is, above all, +he spiritual
awareness of being Intimately
united with God. This is the
effect Of an intense love be-
tween God and man, which
80. expresses itself in a very
delicate conscience, a constant
fight against even the slight
est faults, and great charity
and apostolic zeal"
Author Graef maintains a
style that makes what could
have been dull biography leap
with a noveliSt's fire without
distorting and padding the
truth.
Particularly good reading
are the chapters on Max Kobe
and Thomas Hecker. The for
mer died in the Nazi concen-
tration camp at Auschwitz and
the latter, an American,
founded the Congregation of
st. Paul Ghe Paulist Fathers).
THIS REVIEWER raises a
single objection and that to
the chapter on the French
Jesuit, Teilhard de Chardin.
Yet, while weak in its exposi-
ton of his mysticism, the Sec
ton is worth inclusion, engen-
dering as it does a fair ap-
probation of the late and con-
troversial priest-scientist.

There is no division of opin-
ion in the United States in
regard to defending our free
dom against any form Of
Communist aggression that
threatens this liberty. Amer
leans may differ in regard to
specific tactics to be used in
the struggle for freedom; they
do not differ in regard to the
ultimate goal.
If the Communists can
gather a hundred persons at.
one of their propaganda
meetings, they are doing their
best. No columnist nor editor
ialist in a general American
newspaper of any circulation
advocates communism. But
many widely read columnists
and editorialists regularly at
tack communism.
COMMUNISTS no longer
have positions of power and
influence in government, the
labor movement, the academic
world, or any of the other
areas which they influenced
so strongly in the 1940's. Our
loyalty and security programs
have been effective in screen
ing them from government
positions.
The Communists that re-
main are by no means mac
tive. When trouble spots ap-
pear in our land, they try to
exploit the difficulties for
their own purposes. They will
raise the banner of civil lib
critics in fighting for their
members or against the
House Committee. But COM
pared with their activities
and influence twenty years
ago Communists today are
weak and impotent.

MS Is tHe Cngr0 IN q ser.
les of ten articles ON the nat.
ure of the communist chdI-
lenge taken from the book
~"CommuniSm: Threat To
Freedom" By Father John F..
Cronin.
BY Fir. John Cronin
In the previous article
we saw that the Com
munistS, in their heyday,
exercised wide influence,
especially through their
tactics of infiltration into key
jobs and through enlisting un-
s%uSpecting persons into Com
munist front organizations.
Two other major points need
to be noted about commun-
ism in the United States.
THE FIRST is that there
are some MarxiSts who are
not members of the Commun-
list Party or subject to its dis
cipline. Some are former
Communists; others are mem
berS of left-wing organiza-
tons, ranging from Socialists
to groups even more militant
than the Communist Party,
U.S.A.
In spite of some growth,
they offer no threat to Ameri-
can security, since they are
divorced from the information
al Communist movement.
Espionage, the second point
to note, has always been an
important feature of interna-
tional Communist activity.
AS a general rule, espion-
age operations are govern
mental functions. The Soviet
Union, through its Embassy,
consulates, its U.N. delegation,
and corresponding officials
of the satellite nations, has
been the primary guiding
force behind intelligence op-
erations. It normally operates
directly rather than through
the Communist Party, U.S.A.
Soviet or satellite intelli-
gence agents often have been
successful in recruiting SCENT
lists who felt their contribu-
tons would help the cause of
world peace. Spies have been
secured through blackmail,
by means of threats to harm
relatives behind the Iron
Curtain, or simply by buying
secret information.
Because of the danger of
espionage, it is essential to
prevent Communists from OBJ
tanning access to classified in
formation. The security clear
ance system used to keep
Communists out of such posi-
tons has been quite effective
since it was introduced in
1949 and perfected in 1851.
ONLY CONTINUAL vigil
ance on the part of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation,
the us. Civil Service COM
mission, and other security
agencies, can protect our
country from espionage.
Between 1885 and 1850,
Soviet espionage activities
were widespread and often
quite effective. Secret and
even top-secret information
was secured about such vital
