themselves and their time in
the work of the Church. The

Catholic men is the first goal.
From this fuller partici-

them to bear witness to their

posals, which average better
than one for every four
Council Fathers. But besides
the freedom of expression,
the total number reflects the
interest and study which the
Fathers are giving to the
work of the Council. AL this
takes time and makes prog
ress slow, but it also serves
the cause of truth and sound
ness in Catholic teaching.
With the section on Litur-
gy back in the hands of it's
Commission to reWork it in
line with the proposals, we
took up the draft on Revela-
ton. God has spoken to us
through His mes sengers,
such as prophets, in the Old
Testament, and through His
own Divine Son, Our Lord,
in the New Testament.
God inspired certain men
to preserve in writing what
He had revealed this written
record is the Bible. Part of
revelation was never written;
this we call Tradition. st.
John tells us that many
things that Jesus did and
said are not written in his
Gospel. About 80 years pass
ed after Our Lords Assem-
sion before the first Gospel
was written. In those years,
the only thing that the first
Christians had to go on was
the Faith as taught to them
orally, by the Apostles them
selves, and previously guard
ed in the early Christian
communities and passed on
to others.
The Bible and Tradition
contain Gods revealed word
to us. The written word and
the oral word complete and
clarity each other. Together
they make up the total de-
post Of Faith, which has
been entrusted by Our Lord
not to every one of us indi-
vidually, but only to His
Church to guard, defend, in
terpret and hand on to all
men to the end of time.
WE SEE AT ONCE the
Importance of this topic of
Revelation, because it points
clearly to two basic differ
ences between Protestants
and ourselves: Where is
Gods word to be found? In
the Bible alone, or in both

a dramatic new tack in its
effort to secure classified

parents of young children.
The five-member commit
tee said that industry rejec-

for voluntary classification

to legislation.
The Episcopal Committee
for Motion Pictures, Radio
and Television said it will

agencies, to publish advisory

THE BISHOPS said they
will support such legislation
wherever movie exhibitors
fail to classify films volun-
tarily.

actual work of classification
be entrusted to departments
or agencies of proved quail
ification and competence,
and which enjoy the respect
and confidence of parents"
they said.
Archbishop John j. Krol
of Philadelphia is chairman
of the committee whose
statement was released here
through the National Catho-

The impact of "adult

of increasing concern" for
many people and agencies,

The road pictured here bears the

Apparently it leads to some distant
village or serves perhaps as link be-

How many lives are like this road?
They have promising beginnings, but
instead of continuing to worthwhile
goals, they wander aimlessly to final
dead ends.

and almighty. He is every mans
BEST friend. The Israelites were
lot only treating God shabbily,
they we're actually robbing him
If a man wants his friend to have
the best, what must we think
what must God think-of men who
not only treat God and his laws
and his service with contempt,
and actually give God the worst
instead Of the best?
God Gets the Worst
This is not a parable from olden
times. Its something we can OBJ
serve in almost any church.
Who gets the best of the church
members money? Not God, not
always. The family car, the mort
gage payments, clothes and par
ties to keep up with the JoneSes,"
one hundred and one things get
the best of the family income,
and they offer God, through his
church, part of what's left after
they have provided for everything
else.
God gets the worst of time, too.
Is time set apart for Bible reading
an important part of the day? Is
the time spent in Bible reading
and prayer combined, as much as
is spent in listening to the weather
reports on the radio? Is the time
set apart for personal religion a
time when one is most wide
awake, or most sleepy? AS for
Sundays, the story is the same.
The flimsieSt excuses serve to
excuse absences from church.
Test Of Reality
Here's some one complaining
that religion does not seem real,
God doesn't seem real. No won
der! The test of the reality of a
mans faith is not the nice words
he sings about it in church. The
test is in what he puts into it. This
situation of boredom and lack o.
interest can't be cured first of al

not first. The best of your talents

word; if you are willing to give
that much, you will find your reli
gion growing real.
There is one more thing that
must be said, especially to fathers
and mothers, teachers and friends
of young people. The boys and
girls you love are your most
precious possession - you may
say. But rightly speaking they are
not your possession at all. God
lent them to you. Many boy or
girl who has wanted to enter
Gods service in the church, has
been talked or bullied out of it by
older people. Don't rob God of his
greatly needed helpers!
