Construction
Maintains
July Pace
BY the Associated Press

Outlays for new private home
construction in August dipped
3 per cent from July while
overall construction activity
maintained its July pace, the
Commerce Department reported
yesterday.
The monthly report on build
ing activity showed $5.8 billion
worth of new construction put
in place, virtually unchanged
from July and Z per cent more
than in August, 1861.
Outlays for private resi-
Dental houses and apartments
were estimated at $2.3 million,
the department said. The de-
cline from the previous month
was about three times greater
than the normal drop between
July and August in home
building activity.
Spending on housing was
about 8 per cent ahead of Au-
gust a year ago, however.
Total private construction
expenditures in August were
reported at 81 billion, close to
the July outlays.
Public construction was $1.8
billion. 5 per cent more than
in July and 6 per cent more
than in August, 1861. For the
first eight months of this year,
new construction outlays added
up to 1898 billion, or Z per
cent above the construction
spending in the same period
of 1861.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (AP).-
Construction activity is ex-
pected to reach $60.1 billion by
then end of the year, 6 per cent
more than during 1861, the
National Industrial Conference
Board announced. 1t said pri-
vate construction outlays will
account for $42.5 billion of the
total.

INQUIRY
Can religious articles
be sold in o. church?

@. Is 1t all right to sell religious
articles inside the church itself?
A. Canon No. 1178 states: 'Busi-
ness transactions and fairs, though
held for a pious purpose, shall be kept
out of church, and in general every
thing that is not in accord with the
sanctity of the place." (Woywood ID
The selling of religious articles
might be considered in this category
but it would seem that would be true
only If it had a secular or business
aspect. Offering religious articles for
the convenience of the people in the
Vestibule would not seem to violate
this canon.
The decision in such cases naturally
rests with the pastor.
@. III God made everything and can
do anything why do we have evil in
the world such as wars, disease, etc?
A. There is a difference of attitude
on this question. The man who be-
lieves in God and in the divinity of
Christ knows that God made the whole
universe and that He rules it by His
Providence. We do have to work out
the mystery of Gods allowing evil in
the world.
Philosophers (notably st. Augustine
and st. Thomas Aquinas) have point
ed out that evil is not a thing, a crea-
ture of God. 1t is the absence of right
order or right use Of things leg. dyna-
mite Ear be used to build roads, etc.,
or it can be used for murder or war;.
The abuse of things which leads to
crime, war, ETC., can largely be trac-
ed to mans abuse of free will. Gods
great gift to man of intelligence and
freedom allows the abuse of that gift.
God could block that abuse but it
would involve Illustration of the gift
by which men freely love God and
their fellow man.
Since original sin Ca fact indicated
in Divine Reyelation) man has been
sadly disposed to misuse Gods gifts.
Also the Bible traces much of the dis.
cord in the world of nature to that
rebellion of man. The answer is clear
ly indicated in the Bible: BY Gods

grace we can overcome our W evil
tendencies and bear with the evils in
the world.
The apparent cruelty of Gods per-
hitting suffering and pain is dissolved
by Gods grace coming to each man
and by the assurance that cooperation
with this grace merits eternal re-
wards. The guidance of God that
comes through the Bible, the Church,
ETC., offer man enormous advantages
in this struggle to bear nobly the pain
and suffering of this life.
The atheist cannot dissolve the evils
of this life (although Communism,
for example, offers it as a hope for
some time in the future!) and he can
not explain the grand design of the
universe and the goodness in the
world. More important, he cannot of
fer any hope after death.
@. A friend tells me that the In
QUESTION represents the Catholic
Church's real position toward other
religious positions and that it ale
ways will be so! He says that we
must adopt American ways and re-
ject the authoritarian hierarchy of
the Church!
A. The Inquisition is a complicat-
ed question, not sufficiently under
stood or honestly studied by many
historians. At its worst it was not
the conspiracy of cruelty and tyran-
ny which it is assumed to be.
In the midst of civil turmoil (Albi-
gensian anti-social attitudes based
on anti-C Christian doctrines) the
Church reluctantly permitted the use
of force. 1t was often abused.
In the Spanish Inquisition again,
Pope Sixtus w gave his approval but
he was not the originator of the idea
and the Church protested the abuses
of courts.
The hierarchy of the Church is not
in conflict with American ways. Only
a person who says that we must deny
the authority of God in order to be
good Americans can say so. Catholics
obey the Church in the things that
pertain to God.

They are tied onto the narrative
structure like SO many ornaments on
a Christmas tree.
Perhaps this arrangement was in
tended to heighten the dramatic sus-
pense which Sister achieves in relat-
ing her Community's endeavors to
transplant" Holy Names College
from its crowded campus in Spokane
to a government grant of land at
Fort Wright outside the city.
The traditional delays and red-tape
involved in government transactions
offer many opportunities to interrupt
the narrative. And Sister has done
so in a manner which almost invites
statistical analysis.
The reader will be amused and i'm
pressed by the tenacity of the Sisters
in overcoming the obstacles involved
in such a move. The will also find
Sisters lyric style and philosophical
reflections impressive and informa-
tive.
Unfortunately, however, he will
find that the union of these two ele-
ments - the narrative and the "pen-
sive' - is artificial, and the book
suffers as a result.

BOOK REVIEWS
Tw0 new books on the
Bible merit reading

UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE by
Ignatius Hunt, O.S.B., Sheed and
Ward, 1895
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD by
John j. Castelot, Fides, 1896.
Books intending to bring the best
work of biblical scholars to the at
tention of everyone who is interested
In the Bible have been appearing with
an ever increasing regularity. The
quality of these books is. not uniform,
but two that are well worth reading
are Father Ignatius Hunts Under
standing the Bible" and Father John
j. Castelot's God So Loved the
World"
Understanding the Bible" Is in
tended as a quick review for those
already generally familiar with the
Bible and its background, and as a
short introduction to current trends
in biblical studies. 1t does indeed form
a good introduction for any reader
who is interested in expanding his
acquaintance with the Word of God.
The book begins with brief treat
ments of the more important back
ground questions, such as inspiration,
i%nerrancy, and the canon. Then the
author sets about on a topical treat
ment- of the contents of the Sacred
Book. Eight chapters are devoted to
the questions of human origins and
the beginnings of the Hebrew people
as seen in the books of Genesis. Fol-
lowing these are chapters devoted to
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-12-28

the Exodus, Monarchy, Prophecy,
Wisdom, and Psalms.
ONE CHAPTER is given to the ma
ture and Importance of the Dead Sea
Scrolls. The New Testament is cover
ed in four chapters dealing with the
Gospels, Acts, st. Paul, and the
Apocalypse. Concluding the book is
a chapter showing the place of the
Bible in the Christian life.
Frequent use of parenthesis and
explanation points are Characteristic
of the almost too popular style of FIR.
Hunts writing. But this fault is easily
forgiven in view of the sound scholar
ship shown throughout the book. Any
n who cares to look deeper into a
particular subject treated is given ex-
cellent references to pursue.
go So Loved the World' is of a
slightly different sort. Father Caste
lots aim is to develop from the place
of the Bible in Christian life an
awareness of the history of salvation.
With this aim in view, the great
events of the Old Testament, from
the call of Abraham through the de-
velopment of the Messianic expecta-
ton are placed in the light of their
Christian fulfillment.
Abraham, the ~Patriarchs, Moses,
David, the Prophets, are all seen to
have a close relationship to the Chris
tian, to be at the beginning of the
unfolding of that same divine mystery
whose fulfillment the Christian people
are.
THE POINT OF connection be-
tween the Old Testament and our
selves is Christ. In the New Testa-
ment the life of Christ from birt1 to
ascension is set at the center of Chris
tian life.
Father Castelot's style is clear and
appealing. 1t is charged with the ex-
citement of the matter he treats, maxi
ing the book a joy to read. The
majesty of the theme imposes itself
on the reader; the sweep of salvation
history in all its relevance stands out
in bold relief. Reviewed by Jon Tay.

Later Thoughts rings
o. feU sour notes

LATER THOUGHTS FROM THE
SPRINGS OF SILENCE by Sister
Mary Gilbert, Bobbs- Merrill, $685..
Sister Mary Gilbert describes her
recent book, Later Thoughts from
the Springs of Silence, as part
travelogue - a journey into faith;
part chronicle - the diary of a
dream; part adventure - an encount-
er with reality"
We do not bubble with this anal
ysis. What strikes the reader most
forcefully, however, is the realization
that the parts do not make an inte-
grated whole.
AS the title of the book implies, it
contains further reflection by its
poet-authoress, arising from her ex-
periences as a Sister whose life is
both active and contemplative.
In this vein, Sister Mary Gilbert
expresses herself on a variety of SUBJ
jects ranging from the nature of re-
ligious obedience to the relative
merits of c~o-educational and women's
colleges. Most of her musings are at
least ramifications from the general
topic of Christian higher education.
But these reflections account for
only one part of the book.

according to the norTns laid down in
the following:
ut will be the right of the terri
torial authority . consulting, IL the
case suggests this, the bishops of the
neighboring regions having the same
language, to determine the manner
and use of the vernacular language,
with the reservation that their acts
must be approved, that is, confirmed
by the Apostolic See"
The constitution will also allow
bishops in certain places to adapt the
culture and traditions of their people
to the liturgy, according to FIR. Vagag-
gini.
He quoted from Article 81 of the
constitution:
"The Church, when it is not a ques-
ton of the Faith or the common good,
does not intend to impose, even in the
liturgy, a rigid uniformity. Moreover,
it respects and promotes the char.
~acteristics and gifts of various races
and peoples. 1t looks favorably on
everything in the customs of these
people that is not inseparably bound
up with superstition and error, and,
if it can, protects and conserves them.
Thus sometimes it admits these GUS
toms into the liturgy itself, provided
they can be harmonized with the au-
thentic liturgical spirit"

@. Did the flood at the time of Noe
the whole earth and are we
all descended from Noah?
In many places we have to UNDER
stand the literary form used by the
Old Testament authors. In this as in
many instances the account must be
understood as it was intended by the
author. AS stated in the Confraternity
Edition lin reference to Genesis
9:19): 'The author of Genesis had in
mind not the entire earth but only
that part inhabited by peoples !.
lated to the descendants of the patri.
archs."
The point of the account Of the
flood applies to all men. The Prov
idence of God exists throughout the
universe. He can and does protect and
cherish certain of His servants Gas
He did Noe) and He does allow cer-
tain disasters to fall upon the wicked.
Old Testament language often
makes Gods Providence seem too de
rect and simple but the basic lesson
is still there.
@. Do you sit or kneeI at the
Sanctus at Mass (if you do not remain
standing as at High Mass)?
A. There are a number of possible
variations in the positions of the con.
gregation during Mass. The ancient
custom of standing during a great
part of the Mass has been increasing
~ restored, especially as part of con-
gregational participation.
In this tradition the congregation
stands at the Sanctus. Otherwise, the
custom which has prevailed in most
parishes is that the congregation
kneels for the Sanctus.

Council approves liturgicaI
changes on regional basis

Use OF the ~vernacular in the liturgy
has received broad approval at the
first session of the Second Vatican
Council.
This was the substance of an article
written by a ~liturgical scholar for the
Vatican City newspaper L'OsservatOre
Romano.
The author - Father Cipriano
V%agaggini, OSB - is one of the ex-
perts appointed by Pope John XIII
to aid the work of the council.
THE BENEDICTINE PRIEST dis
closed that the council fathers voted
to let such bodies as national and
regional bishops conferences decide
on the vernacular question. The de-
cisions of these conferences need only
confirmation by the Holy See.
FIR. Vagaggini's article underlines
point for point important elements of
the preface and the first chapter of
the Constitution on the liturgy
which were approved by the council
fathers on Dec. z.
That part of the constitution which
refers to the use of the ~vernacular
reads:
1.-THE USE OF THE Latin lam
guage, except by particular dispersal
ton, is to be preserved in the Latin
rites.
"But since the use of the vernacular
very often can be very helpful to the
people in the Holy Mass or in the adj
ministration of the sacraments and in
other parts of the liturgy, a larger
role is conceded to the vernacular
especially in the lessons, instructions,
in some prayers and in some chants,
