York, went through the North Af
rican campaign without .a scratch
but was wounded during the inva
sion of Sicily and is now In trac
tion at Halioran Hospital. He has
a brother in the Navy and has
War Bonds and Is buying more.
DO THEY REALLY?
Mary and Martha
At the first sound of the bell
in the slender spire of the church
a soft rustle of feet and long
robes begins, and down the long
corridor goes the white-robed pro
cession. Not a word is spoken;
instead, after a few moments of
intense silence, sixty strong male
voices sound like one in praise
the glory of God.
Among these strange, silent,
kind-looking monks is a great en
gineer, two former presidents of
a well-known university, a once
famous district attorney, a for
mer Canadian “mountie”, and an
(aiviator whose exploits in the great
war made newspaper headlines.
And now here they all live, work
and pray together! Not long ago
their monastery was brought to
the attention of a few outsiders
by reason of some minor legal
business; but the little that was
disclosed of the past of these
monks so intrigued a popular
news magazine that a striking
feature article was written of
the incident.
Some people—even Catholics!
—see in this obscure life devoted
to constant prayer and menial
work an almost scandalous con
trast to “modern” life. Couldn’t
they do more good by devoting
their great talents to practical
work in the world, to solve the
social problems that afflict us?
What a sinful waste of time to
pray all the time!”
Jesus Christ, who taught us to
pray, heard this same criticism
from an energetic lady, and ans
wered and silenced her for all
time. Martha was the busy
housewife in whose house Jesus i
lived for some time and so con
cerned was she with houseclean
ing and dinners that she forgot
that her first duty was to make
Him feel at home. Picture her
rising wrath turned on her sister
Mary who sat at our Lord’s feet
talking to Him or merely saying
nothing.
“Lord, hast thou no care that
my sister hath left me alone to
serve? Speak to her, therefore,
that she help me! (Luke X, 40.)
“And the Lord answering, said
to her: Martha, Martha, thou
art careful, and are troubled
about many things. But one
thing is necessary. Mary hath
chosen the better part, which
shall not be taken away from
her.” (Luke X, 41-2.)
It is one of the “hard sayings”
; of Christ. Specially hard for
men who believe in the constant
—even though aimless—expendi
ture of energy, and who can
judge only by the immediate re
sults. Christ’s church does not
j teach us that men must kneel
| everlastingly in prayer, any more
than she teaches us that celibacy
is holier than marriage for all
men. But we do know that the
praise of God is our best and first
. “work” and is whaf^ is called the
“opus Dei” or the “workj of God”.
It even comes before the work of
God in doing good (God’s will)
to our neighbor. Get into low
work for once and do better
work.
Is there anything you would
like to know about the Catholic
Church, its doctrine or worship.
If so, just drop a card or a letter
to: Catholic Information Society,

L THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
**We can't argue with the Judge on that
point, can we Mabel? It's not fair to penalize
the many for the actions of the few.”
“That, folks, is exactly what we would be
doing in this country if we ever voted for
prohibition again. Authorities who have
made a careful study of the problem, report
that only about 5% of those who drink
abuse the privilege occasionally... 95% drink
sensibly. Probably doesn’t compare with
the number of folks who overeat and do
other things to excess. Prohibition certainly
isn’t the answer. It’s not that simple. We
had nearly 14 years proof of that, didn’t we?
“The real answer is education and better
control. In fact, the responsible members of
the distilling industry are working con
stantly toward that end. They don’t want
anybody to abuse the use of their product
any more than the three of us do."
“If everybody would take that sensible
attitude, Judge, and cooperate as more and
more are now doing, we’d be a lot better
off a lot quicker."
