but rather it should in the words of
st. Benedict bring men back to God
by the labor of obedience from whom
they had departed by the idleness of
d~isobedience."
To Benedict, work and especially
manual labor, was a means to good
ness Of life. He considered work the
great disciplinary force for human ma
ture, whereas idleness spells its ruin.
In the regeneration Of a human be-
ing suffering from the consequences
of original sin, the order of discipline
calls for work before prayer. This is
so because grace meets with no CO.
operation in the heart of the idle.
WE ARE PLEASED to offer this
suggestion for a practical resolution.

pregnancy, can still say, I'VE always
hope for a healthy one"
But what if this baby, too, is born
with the same disease = as the med
zeal prognosis indicates may very like
ly happen? Is this the end of hope?
THE SECULARIST would say that
the parents were either foolish or stu
pid to have hoped as much as they
did - they must have known after
the first or second baby what was in
store. for them. He would offer three
solutions to their. problem.
One would be contraception to avoid
future ~pregnancies. The second would
be abortion, if such a pregnancy should
occur. The third would be mercy kill
ing, if the unwarranted hope of the
pregnancy was not realized in the
birth of a healthy baby.
One has only to remember the Phoe-
nix case in August and the Belgian in
cident in November to know that these
solutions are becoming generally &C.
cepted. They r no longer being de-
Tended. They are being promoted as
a positive good.
Witness the. words quoted from a
recent sermon of a modern church.
man:
THE TRULY civilized mind would
be hard put to devise a greater sin
than to condemn a helpless infant to
the twilight world of living death, or
to sentence two innocent parents to a
life term of caring for-yes, and low
.lng-a creature who is a grotesque
mockery of Gods image"
Contrast that with the words of a
Catholic couple with eight children
who volunteered to adopt a thalido-
mide baby, if it were allowed to be
born. The mother had explained to her
W children what this might mean.
She wrote:
Il asked them if they would love
u little n less if he didn't have
arms or legs, and the incredulous
looks told me they couldn't UNDER
stand how that would make any diff
ference.
"As ! tucked in our youngest to-
night, all could see was her little
head. A baby without arms or legs
can still smile and talk and learn
and love and pray"

A West Coast friend recently for
warded a clipping of a. news story
which made a deep impression on him.
1t told of a Midwestern couple who
had just buried their oldest child, a
n~ine-year-old daughter. She had also
been the last living of five children.
Three of the others had died at the
age of two years and a fourth at
three months. All of them were af-
flicted with a rare, incurable neuro-
logical condition called Schilder's
disease. The mother is now expecting
a sixth child in March. The medical
prognosis is that this baby will be
similarly diseased.
This, in brief, is the story. It tells
nothing about the heartaches and the
sorrows involved. But the news ac-
count did quote the parents, and it
was the attitude revealed in their
words which SO impressed my cor
respondent.
THE COUPLE said, I'VE are not
crushed down. We have more faith
than that. And we always have hope.
Without hope, there would be no sense
to life"
The mother added, we have loved
u children and we always hope for
a healthy ONE
Here are the three theological vir-
tues in practice = faith, hope and
love. Their faith told parents like
these that, however brief the earthly
life. of children might be, an eternity
of living was ahead of them in heav-'
en-. E
1t also helped them to accept their
own helplessness at seeing a little
child suffer and their sorrow at his
death, for they knew he wa. return
ing to his Fathers house.
THEIR SENSE Of loss, multiplied
five times an infinity, was not less
poignant because of their faith. All
they chung to was the awafeness that
the present parting was temporary
and that one day, God willing, they
would be reunited with their children.
Their parenthood was already prov
en- a success in their own eyes and in
the eyes of all believers in God since
they had, in the short space of ten
years, known briefly and returned to
God forever, five saints.
Each pregnancy brought with it
the hope for a healthy baby. Five
times they hoped and five times their
hopes had been disappointed. Yet the

Resolution

Sometimes people look for the ex-
traordinary or the bizarre in making
resolutions for the New Year.
Unfortunately, this kind of good
will often remains in the will and is
carried no farther.
We would like to offer a concrete
suggestion to our readers for 1868
which would replace the off-beat
resolution and which would enable
everyone to be better disciples of
Christ.
This suggestion was proposed for
an editorial by the st. James the Less
Christian Family Movement who re-

THE BACKDROP
First Lady is entitled TO privacy

One of the freedoms claimed by the
free press is the right to exploit the
family who happen at a given time to
be occupying the White House.
In no other country do editors ex-
pose for their readers the private as
well as the public life of the ruling
family as pitilesSly as in the United
States.
We are told what tine President and
the First Lady eat for breakfast, when
and where they 60 to church, who de-
signs their clothes and how much
they pay for them, what they said to
their partners at a state dinner. which
books, magazines and newspapers
they do or do not read.
RECENTLY newspaper readers
were told not only how the President
disposes of his salary-he gives it TO
charities - but his approximate net
worth with details about his invest
mentS and the amount of his private
income.
The relentless scrutiny of the press
extends even to the progeny of the
First Family. The exploits and say
ings of Caroline are as faithfully re-
corded in the public prints as the mes
sages and speeches of the President.
The exploitation of the private lives
of a President and members of his
family has reached a new higher a
new low, depending on ones standard
of propriety - during the Kennedy
administration.
Especially mawkish have been the
articles about the Presidents wife in

normally specialize in the private
lives of the denizens of Hollywood.
JACQ ELINE Kennedy is the
youngest and most glamorous First
Lady since Dolly Madison. No other
First Lady has been so relentlessly
publiciZed with the exception of Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt.
But the publicity attending Mrs.
R~ooSevelt's many years in the White
House related scarcely at all to her
private life. 1t centered mainly on her
public activities - her speeches in be-
half of welfare projects, her role as
an adviser to her husband in many
areas of legislation.
She conducted an unofficial career
of public service parallel to that of
the President. Nothing appeared in
print about her that detracted from
her dignity as the wife of the Presi-
dent.
Some of the publicity about Mrs.
Kennedy has been generated by her
travels and activities. Some objec-
tons were made to the photographing
of the First Lady in a bathing suit
during her visit in the Mediterranean,
but most of the news printed about
that visit was news to which the pub
lie was entitled.
EVEN THE criticism about photo
graphing her in a bathing suit wa
silly; when a person goes bathing he
naturally wears a bathing suit.
But a certain segment of the press
has been treating the First Lady as If
she were just another Hollywood ce-
lebrity. Not content with printing

Everyone who has read 'The Or

Grafton Is not very idealistic.
1t Is a generally accepted fact that
college graduates are interested main

that the spirit Of adventure which
marked the youth Of the Old Frontier
and the spirit of community service
which marked the youth of the New
Deal are simply not to be found among
the "coddled kids of the age of the
New Frontier.
Reality, however, las a nasty habit

cliches. A recent study of the occupa-

the family wants.
A priest may well want some of the
young people in his care to go to Afri-
ca with the Peace Corps or Guatemala
with the Papal Volunteers, or to teach
catechism in a Stun parish but he
very soon learns that the parents
most decidedly do not want such
things.
In the American middle class Cath
Ollie mentality, there is no room for
such "~fanaticism'' and the young per-
son who shows inclination to the lay
mission vocation can usually count on
violent parental opposition.
There are all kinds of exceptions, of
course, but the harsh fact seems to be
that many Catholic parents, who went
through their formative years during
the great depression can see no other
goals for their children than economic
ones.

the child was conceived and in these
plans there is no room for the enthusi-
