And knelt down to pray
But something was missing;
knew right away
That familiar old feeling
Somehow, was gone
Then, suddenly realized
was there all alone
My God wasn't there
But saw Satan smile
My heart cried out.
But he laughed all the while
How could my church
Let Satan take rule
Are the pews simply filled
With rich old fools
Get out Satan"
Get out, / cried.
you don't belong here
My sunken heart cried
But he just stood there
In the bliss Of his sin
And tried Oh he tried
My soul to win
But didn't weaken
For God had my hand
knew in moment
He'd take my stand.
But to fight all alone
How much can l do?
My church needs help

The question of whether the federal
government can make funds available
to non-public schools and colleges will
arise in a new form when Congress
debates a bill to extend the loan for
giveness provision of the National De-
Tense Education Act to teachers in pri-
Vate schools.
THE EXISTING law authorizes
loans for college students to be repaid
over a period of years after gradua-
ton. 1t also provides that so per cent
of the loan will be forgiven if the
student borrower agrees to teach for
five years in a public elementary or
secondary school.
Student borrowers who elect to
teach in private schools, however, are
required to repay the full amount of
the loan.
A bill recently reported favorably
by the Senate Labor and Public We'll
fare committee would remove the dis
elimination by extending the so per

borrowers who enter teaching in pri-
vate non-profit schools or institutions
of higher learning.
The sponsors of the bill-Senators
Winston L. Prouty of Vermont and
Kenneth Heating of New York - ar
que that the frank discrimination in
the existing law gives second class
treatment to student borrowers who
decide to teach in private schools.
These schools, they note, have an
enrolment of 100000 pupils and
thus fulfill a significant role in the
education of American youth.

On the third day of August in the
year 1892 three vessels under the
command of Christopher Columbus
set sail from Spain for Japan by way
OF the Canary Islands.
The first leg of the voyage wa
made in less than a week, but the
fleet was becalmed and then they had
to put in at the Grand Canary for wa
ter and provisions while one ship wa
repaired.
From Sept. 9 to Is they made 1853
nautical miles out of the proposed
2400 which they thought would take
them to the Orient.
During the next five days they
made only 234 miles due to variable
winds and rain. At one time a seaman
thought he saw land, but it turned out
TO be a cloud bank above the western
horizon.
FROM SEPT. rs to Oct. ! the fleet
made only 3S2 miles and the crews
began to mutter and grumble, but a
good wind helped them to travel ITO
miles in the next five days. One of the

It is a means-a potentially benefit
cent means-of promoting the welfare
of human beings, their spiritual and
cultural as well as material welfare.
Negatively this means, on the face
of it, that automation would prove to
be a curse rather than a blessing to
humanity If it were to be used selfish
ly to increase the profits of a few at
the expense of the many or, more spe-
officially, if it were to be introduced
so rapidly or so h~aphazardly as to re-
suit in unemployment or even in I'M
unemployment in a given industry or
region.
To forestall these potential dangers.
Pope Plus XII insisted on the need of
closer labor-management cooperation.
He called for a "judicious participa-
ton of workers. in the introduction
of automation and, in summary, told
labor and management that lit is bet
ter to bargain than to fight"
This, he said, lis the only word
which both can make their own
in the light of their own conscience
and before the world"
1t is my impression that the ma
jority of American unions are pre-
pared to follow this advice. They are
not, l think, blindly opposed to auto
nation. But they are opposed-and
rightly soto the introduction of au-
donation without sufficient concern
for its potentially harmful impact on
the level of employment.
To put it more positively, they are,
by and large, in favor of automation
if it is introduced Sin orderly stages
and If the radical changes flowing
from automation are planned with
care for the workers."

THE BACKDROP
For Congress "a dilemma

schools was to encourage young men
and women to enter the teaching pro-
fession.
But, since there is a shortage of
teachers in the private as we'll as in
the public schools, it does not make
sense, the two Senators contend, to
exclude student borrowers who enter
teaching in the private schools from
the loan forgiveness.
Whether Congress will pass the
Prouty-Keating bill remains to be
seen. If it does, it will have dulled the
force of the arguments that have
been marshaled in opposition to other
bills to extend federal aid to educa-
ton on a non-discriminatory basis.
The basic argument of those who
would deny federal aid to private
schools are church-related, such aid
would be unconstitutional.
This is the position of the Admin
istration itself and of the Congress
on federal aid to private elementary
and secondary schools. If the position
is valid, then it would seem to follow
that federal aid to private institutions
of higher learning is equally unconsti-
tutional.
BUT NEITHER the Administra-
ton nor Congress appears to be will
ing to be bound by its own logic. At
tempts have been made in the present
session to make a distinction between
aid to elementary schools and aid to
schools of higher learning.
A measure has been debated that
would provide federal aid for colleges
and universities. But the bill seems
destined to founder on the inability
of the two houses to agree on how
much and what kind of aid, if any,
can be given to church-related insti-
tutions without colliding with the

captains thought they must rave pass
ed Japan but the Admiral kept his
course due west.
On the seventh of October they saw
flocks of birds flying west-southwest
so they followed them. Despite this
encouragement the men were near
mutiny by Oct. 10 and wanted Column
bus to turn back.
He would not, but said if land
wasn't found within three days he
would return.
On the 18th day of October they
sighted branches of trees and flowers
floating along and since the moon "a
clear that night they rushed on: the
Pinta a mile in the lead, the Santa
Maria on her port quarter and the
Nina on the other side.
At 2 am, Oct. II, a lookout on the
Pinta sighted something like a white
cliff and shouted Land Ho!"
IT TOOK THEM until noon to find
a cove for landing but when they did
they went ashore, knelt on the ground
to give thanks, and Columbus named
the island 1.-THE Holy Saviour"

There is an old story of the debate
in the French Chamber of Deputies
concerning women's right to vote.
One member gave an impassioned
speech supporting women's suffrage.
He concluded by shouting, after all,
if men vote why shouldn't women?
There is very little difference between
me and women"
With that the whole French Cham
Der of Deputies is supposed to have
shouted with one voice, give la diff
ference" Which only goes to prove, |
suppose, the French also have a word
for it.
TO EVERY HUMAN being God
makes the gift of sex, and to most He
gives the same thrill of discovery that
Adam and Eve felt.
But the world was young and clean
then and sin hadn't entered the pic
ture to disturb and distort and make
a burdensome thing of that which
God had intended to be a joyful, Gre
ative thing - the relationship be-
tween a man and a woman.
The guilt connected with sex and
the burden and anxiety attached to it
are not of Gods doing but of mans
making. The youth of today who have
received the gift of life from their
parents have also inherited from past
generations the distortions of puri-
tanism and Jansenism.
The puritanical attitude that is part
of our culture labels sex as a dirty
shameful thing. 1t is not something
nice and respectable and hence is not
to be talked about In polite circles,
especially within the sanctity of the
home.
The J~ansenist heresy that infected
the Church in the 18th century said,
among other things, that sex was
evil, that the attraction between a mar
and a woman was the work of the
devil and that God permitted
riage only because there might be
some worse evil. Besides, children had
to be born some way.

regard. Management, he warns, must
realize that there is much more to
automation than the installation of
new machinery.
1t must recognize that "the changes
ahead must be planned with care for
the worker" and must lean over back
wards to avoid the mistakes which
were made by management during the
Industrial Revolution.
During the Industrial Revolution.
Mr., Diebold points out, management
shrugged off its social responsible
ties with "a everything will take care
of itself attitude" thereby producing
a fertile atmosphere for the theories
of Karl Marx, which have had much
to do with the shape of our world,
whether we like it or not"
Mr.. Diebold's emphasis on the
joint responsibility of labor and man.
agement in the field of automation is
more realistic, it seems to me, than
The Wall Street Journals one-sided
emphasis on labor's responsibility TO
welcome the introduction of automa-
ton.
Mr.. Diebold may or may not be
overly optimistic about the job-pro-
ducing potential of automation.
But, in any event, he is on the side
of the angels in pointing out that
automation must be introduced sin or
derby stages" and that the radical
changes flowing from automation
must be planned with care for the
worker"
This is in line with the thinking of
the late Pope Plus XII who had SO
much to say about automation in the
closing years of his life. Attenuation,
His Holiness pointed out in several
major allocutions, is not an end in it
self.

Fatima anniversary

Forty-five years ago tomorrow
thousands upon thousands at Fatima
repeatedly saw the sun dance in the
sky as a manifestation of divine APP
proval of the message of the Lady
of the Rosary who had appeared to
the three children.
In 1871 and the following year Sis
ter Lucy, who was the eldest of the
three, set down in writing three Sc
crets which she said had been reveal
ed to her by the Blessed Virgin.
ALL THIS WAS done at the re-
quest Of her Bishop.
She stated that the first was a
Vision of Hell which was so terrifying
1t moved her and the other two to fer
vent penitential prayer and practices.
The second had to do with the devo-
ton to the Immaculate Heart Of Mary
with emphasis on the First Saturday
observance and Conservation of Rus
STA.
The third secret she asked to be
withheld pending her death, or that
1t be opened for the Pope in 1860.
In the closing months of 1859 all
sorts of speculation was abroad con-
corning the secret, some of it very
d~isconcerting. Many publications, in
GLIDING The Catholic Times, called for
a proper evaluation of these reports
and a condemnation of the spurious.
In a subsequent interview, Sister Lucy
herself r~epudiated some statements
that had been attributed to her.

activities. But Bishop Issenmann in a
letter written to mark the occasion
has pointed out that we should COM
memorate this historic anniversary in
a religious manner as well.
The Bishop said that first we need
to acknowledge our dependence upon
Almighty God and to thank Him for
the blessings that have come to the
city, its officials and citizens. He ask
ed that we offer prayers in atonement
for any neglect of God and disregard
of His Will, as we'll as in reparation
for any public scandal that may be a
reproach in the history of the city.

prayer we are honoring III city in a
way that would have been very famil-
lar to the Great Discoverer.

THE YARDSTICK


Is organized labor in the United
States opposed to ~automation?
A leading business journal says the
answer to this question ic a resound-
Ing Eyes"
American unions, The Wall Street
Journal recently editorialized, must
abandon their r~eactionary opposition
TO automation; the industrial future
belongs to automation, and the nation
that fails to recognize il will be out
of the running - with all that means
In economic decline and unemploy-
ment."
The man who coined the word "au-
donation" ii years ago - Mr.. John
Diebold - makes substantially the
same point in an article entitled Fac
ing Up to Attenuation in the Sept.
% Issue of The Saturday Evening
Post.
According to Mr.. Diebold, we Amer
leans really have no choice as to
whether we are going to make prog
ress In attenuation. We must either
achieve world leadership in the new
technology or resign ourselves to dis
astrous economic and political defeat
by our competitors in the world mar
ket.
Moreover, says Mr.. Diebold, auto
nation, If wisely introduced, not only
will not cause unemployment but will
multiply jobs and rapidly increase u
standard of living.
Starting from these premises, Mr..
Diebold concludes that Labor unions
must drop their blind fear of auto
nation and use their organizations to
work out with management plans for
orderly stages of automation."

At sunset all hands were called to

We would not pretend that Column

spite their faults they were oriented

Constitution.
The basic question involved in the
debate on this proposal is the same an
that raised in the current attempt to
wipe out discrimination against pri-
vate school teachers in the matter Of
loan forgiveness - can federal funds
be authorized that in any way would
serve the interests of a private school.
particularly a church-related school?
Committees of the Senate and the
site positions on a proposal to make
funds available for scholarships with
out distinction as between public and
private colleges. Nor on a proposal to
authorize construction grants to both
public and private colleges could the
two Houses agree.
A COMPROMISE finally was pro-
posed whereby construction loans
would be authorized for church-relat-
ed colleges, but only for such facilities
as libraries and laboratories.
ven TINS has encountered such
strong opposition that sponsors have
just about given up hope of getting it
approved at this session.
In short, Congress is caught on the
horns of a dilemma. On the one hand
it proclaims and, to a degree, supports
the public policy that education
should be strengthened and expanded
in the national interest. On the other
hand, it upholds the thesis that fed
eral funds cannot be provided for that
part of the educational system which
operates under private auspices.
AS long as the dilemma goes I'M
resolved, a significant part of the
American education system is going
to get what Senators Prouty and Keat-
ing have termed "second-clas treat
ment."

NO OFFICIAL word has ever been
released about the opening of the third
secret. One report has it that the Bish-
ops of Portugal viewed it and sent it
on to the Holy Father who judged
that it should not be divulged at the
time.
The Bishop of Fatima did make a
statement to the press saying that the
contents of the secret were not inn
portant to Catholics at large. What is
important, he stated, makes up the
substance of the Fatima message:
Prayer and sacrifice.
Those of us who have been to Fati-
ma cannot help but be impressed with
the austere and sacrificial devotion of
the pilgrims there. The emphasis at
Fatima is on the spiritual side, rather
than on material favors.
Personally, we've always approved
Of that emphasis and urge those who
have special affection for the Fatima
devotion to new their efforts to pro-
mote recitation of the Rosary, more
frequent Communion, and voluntary
modification. We ask them to set an
example in these areas.
But all of us might take advantage
of the anniversary tomorrow to make
sure we see the role of Mary as it is
outlined in Christian teaching: we
pray through her to Jesus and we
pledge Il affection for her in order
to show greater love for her divine
Son.-GAF

EVERYMAN'S FAMILY
Moral rules are intended

by Father John Knott

heritance has borne distorted fruits
in the minds and hearts of III young
people.
It was gotten across to them early
in the game of life that good little
boys and girls don't talk about that
stuff.
In fact,>it was sort of implied that
good little boys and girls don't even
have sex, because how could they be
good and have it?
When in the curse OF human events
good little boys and girls become big
ones and discover that they do, intact,
have sex, there develops a conflict be-
tween the developing attraction of sex
and the attitude implanted in them.
With parental communication in
this area long since cut off, the ado
descent necessarily turns to other
sources for information. His last state
becomes worse than his first.
There develops in his mind and
heart a seemingly insoluble conflict
between his Catholic ideals and moral
code and the preachments of the world
around him that sex is for his plea
sure and use.
He develops his own code of situa-
tional ethics, that as long as two peo-
pie like each other and don't go all
the way it is nobody's business but
theirs.
1t is tough enough coming to any
sort of understanding of ones self in
that period of adolescence without be-
ing burdened by distortions of the
past. Our youth today are being done
no favor by being continually warned
of the evils of sex.
What needs emphasis and continued
repeating is that sex is good because
it is made by God. That sex is sacred,
not because holy water has been
sprinkled on it, but because it is con-
cerned with life, either the creating
or at least the completing of it.
Our young people are being called
to participate and share in this whole
tremendous creative urge initiated by
God, and Father. The moral rules laid
down by Him and His Church are in
tended to guide the proper use of this
gift of sex, not to Illustrate it.
