.. The Chtist~as Story.- A-~d ~it:'c~m:e' to"'~~ss"that in' those days there

went out a decree from Ca~sar Augustus; that the wholeworld should be enrolled".

The enro,lIi.ng, was _ first _made . by Cyrinus, thegovernor of Syria. _. .,.. , .,

And all went to be enr911ed, everyone into his owncity.

And' Jos'eph also w'ent up' from Galilee,' out of thecity of N.azareth into JUQea"to the city of .David, whichis called B~thl~he~m, 'be'cause he was of the '.house andfarrlily of David. ..' .. .

. . .To ,be erlrolli;d 'with Mary his ~spo~sed 'wife, wh~

was with child;An'd, it' came to pass· that :when ,they were' there

her dayswe~e occomplished that' she should be delivered.And she brou,ght forth her first-born son and ~rapped

Him up in' swaddling dothes' and laid Him in a'mangerbecause there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were. in the same country: shepherds~atching and· keeping night-watches over their flock.

'And behold an angel of the lord stood by' themand the brightness' of. God sh.one roundabout them 'andthey feared with a great fear.

And the angel said to them: "Fear not, for, beholdI bring you good tidings of great joy that shall 'be to allthe people.

"For this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christthe lord, in the city of David. •

"And this shall be. a sign unto you, you shall find theinfant wrapped in swaddling dothes and laid in a manger~"

And sudd~nly there was with the angel ~ multitudeof the heavenly army, praising God and saying:

"Glory to God' in the highest and on earth peaceto m'en of good wilL"

And it came to p~ss, after the angels departed fromthem into -heaven, the 'shepherds said one to another"Let us go over to Bethlehem ~nd let us see this wordthat is come to pass' which the lord hath showed to us."

And they came with haste and found Mary andJoseph, and the infant lying in the manger.

And seeing, they understood of the word that' had.been spoken to them concerning this child.

And all that 'heard wondered and at those thingsthat were told them by the shepherds.

But Mary k~pt all these words, ponderingthem in her heart.

And the shepherds returned, glorifyingand praising' God for all the :things they hadheard and seen, as it ~as told .unto them.

(St. Luke 2:1-20)

, .Bishop's Christmas J~e~sage

We read and hear a lot nowadays of "putting Christ back'In Christmqs." The. idea .is all ri'ght. But what we really needto de:?' is to give Ch~i.stmas ba~k. 'tp Christ, and see that we give'f; good share of ours~lves along .with the gift.. .~. After all, it' is His I:>irthday, and He should be the centerof attention. Yet pe~ple exchange gifts with never. a thought'to the Giver of all that is good, and, God's tender gift of Himself.Men brighten their homes with lights but pay scant heed to theTrue light that, has come into the world. They call in friends torejoice with them, neglecting the changeless Friend. They are'comfortably sentimental in what they do for children. They liketo see how young eyes grow big with wonder at toys, a",dtrinkets. But the real wonder of the day escapes them.

Each year at this time we revive and relive a mystery of·our Faith. We remember the most wonderful thing t,hat everhappened on earth. We celebrate the fulfillment of all the hopesof Abraham, Isaac and the prophets-a realization so far beyondbuman expectation that some still find it hard to believe.

We recall an historic event, something longed for~prayed

for-a direct communication. from God to all men of good-will.­This is a revelation in terms ,that even the simplest mind might..nderstand and the scholar find himself immersed in a mysteryof Divine love a'nd Goodness•.I, , , .

. Here is something to wonder ,at, inde'ed.Hereis the. EternalSOn of God appealing-for o~r I!,ve ~s a helpiess babe"the whileHe reveals the tender solicitude of an Infinite Father, so full· of<7oodness as to send us Hisc;mly-begotten Son. So tho.t; hence­forth, anyone that knows and loves the Son is in a certain wayto p,iease God.' , .. ' . .'. ,"

Here is mystery to make our eyes grow big and Our heartsthro~ with affection. And yet why ,is it that so many pass it byheedlessly? Why are so' ma~y taken. with the super:,i~ialities"ofChristmas that they miss th~lasting IEts,son of loye that 'S there,to :I:se seen, studied and accepted?, ,

• 0 No, my brethren, if we will worider~ let us w9r:lder at th~Goodness of God made ma'nifest to our eyes. let us wonder thatthe hand that cast the stars and set them on their course hasbecome a tiny hand. let us marvel ~hat the mi,ght ,of God thatcreated heaven and earth has been hidden in a human form,born of the Blessed Mary, ,ever Virgin, so that He may be ourway, and truth and light of life on earth, our one sure hope forpeace among men. let us be glad that He Who assumed ourhumanity has made us partakers of His Divinity.. let us bemindful of our vocation and our destiny to grow up in Him, tolearn of Him that we may find Peace for our souls, the kind ofpeace that can endure all uncertainties and anxieties in thisatomic age, and that no one, and nothing can take awayfrom us ever.

So a Blessed, understanding, wonderful Christmas to oneand aJ-l,

sweeping allegations are madewithout a jot of proof, a shed ofconcrete evidence, in their sup­port. One notes, too, the delibe,..­ate and habitual resod ,to abu­sive and inflammatory epithets.

Not content with libelling·Catholic schools, POAU pusheson to frame a charge that Cath­olics are scheming to destroy thepublic school system in thecountry.

The book traces down some ofthe cases which the organiza~

tion uses over and over again toconvey this impression.' Uponexamination, they' turn out en­tirely other in detail and signifi..cance than as" ntispresented byPOAU.

Book Exposes True NatureOf Prejudice Fomenters,

By Rt"\Rev. Msgr. John S. KennedyIt is hardly conceivable that at this late date one needs

to explain that the initials POAU refer to an organizationwhich callSl itself Protestants and Other Americans Unitedfor Separation of Cllurch and State. No more, can it berequired to tell reasonableand critical people that the:group is rabidly anti~atho­

lie, and, on the' re«Olrd, hu110 aim but to denigrate theCatholic Church and relegateCatholic Amer­icans to- thel'ank of second-,class citizens.POAU'S per­formance hasilluminated thisfact beyond' theshadow of adoubt.

Still, thereareundoubtedlygreat numbersof Americanswho, averse to bigotry, have notbad the opportunity to considerPOAU's activities; as a, whole" todelve into its background, toanalyze its literature, and' todraw up a definite balance sheet.These people are, therefore,. inaorne peril of being victimizedby the organization's bold andpersistent propaganda." It is precisely for them thatUnited for Separation by Law­rence W. Creedon and William D.Falcon (Bruce. $3.95) wouMaeem. to be' intended

Although the book is' not. thebest organizedl or most, bitingexpose of POAU that might bewritten', it will' serve the useflllpUrpQse' of indicating somethingof the true- Ilature" obj'eetiV'es>,and tacticS' of this. hate...monger-,tog combine~ Parlicularly; ttUswork assays the validity ofPO.AU·s. argumentation.

Anti-Catholic AgitatioDlTl're' authors make' some

aketchy reference to, the historyof anti-Catholic animus and agi'­tation in this country. The smeJ.Iysubject is thoroughly covered inearlier works by Ray A. Billing­ton and' Gustavus Myers.

What information is suppliedhere makes it unquestionablethat. in outlook and, methods~

POAU is simply. a' contemporaryreincarnation of the Know Noth­ings, the APA, and other tesswell remembered fomenters <>fprejUdice.

Interestingly enough, over 100,.ears ago thel1e was an organi­zation kindred. not merely inspirit but also in name: Le., theOrder of United Americans.

One could wish that the au­thors had somewhat more sped­fically stressed and illustratedthe fact that, for all its noblepretensions, POAU is no betterthan the latest exemplificationof an old, periodically appearing.and thoroughly discreditablephenomenon.

'Best Fr.iend"As the organization's name

suggests, POAU professes to beconcerned solely with preserva­tion of strict separation ofChurch and State. Repeatedlyit declares that it is not anti­Catholic. One of its leadinglights. has solemnly said that"we are the ROman Catholic'sbest friend."

But such protestations are atodds with the' reality. POAUbas gone far' afield from theaeparation of Church and State1asue.

It has injured' the good nameof Catholi'c bospitaIs, for' exam­ple. It hag cast aspersioIlS' onCardinal Mfndszenty at theheight. of his ordeal and whenthe free world saw him as •aymbolic victim. of COmmuniAtotalitarianism., ~

It has viciously mudCiied" thewaters in the matter' of' theBWlop of Prat'o, Italy., Pracfi..cally limitless are' the' instancesof its seizfug: on any least inci­dent or utterance which mightbe twisted into a weapon againstthe Catholic Church.

Catholic schooIs are one' of itsfavotite targetS. Purportedly itsconcern with tliem is to see to itthat they are not anowed' to, vio-

. late the separation principle.- But it soon becomes plain' that. .-<>A,l,J ~" oppese4, ~ ~e,.e,

Private' Initiative EssentialIn Total Security Program

By Msgr. George G. Higgins .Director, NCWC Social Action Department

Four Social Security experts peered into the .futurerecently and unanimously predicted that cradle-to-the-gravesecurity for all Americanswasonly a matter of time. Theyconcluded that by 1975 at, the latest: 'Old age andsurvivors pen'slons will in­crease at least 50 per centfrom the present maximumof $178 a month for a retiredcouple 'and will go up automat.;,ically as living standards andprices advllrice.

Medical 'andhospital car ewill be, avail­able to allAmericans re­gardless of theirability to pay,pro.,bablythrough a com­bination of pri­vate and SocialSecurity insur­ance programs.

Un e m ploy­ment benefits will be increased

.and extended far beyond thepresent maximum of 26 weeksand will not be cut' ()ff duringa recession.

The' F.ederal Government wniprovide money to'move personsfrom 'economically' depressedareas to' cities and towns thatneed additional workers.

"Persons who are -temporarilyas well as permanently, disabledwill receive Social Security ben;'efits a~d will also be' rehabili;'tated and retrained.

Public assistance benefits willbe uniform throughout theUnited States, and persons seek­ing relief will no longer have toprove that they have been resi­dents of a state or a city forcertain length of time in orderto qualify for assistance.

Sound Social Ethics?The four speakers who made

these' predictions at a recent. convention of the American

Public Welfare Association inWashington were Charles' 1.Schottland, a former admillis­trator of the .Social Securityprogram; Nelson H. Cruickshankof the AFL-CIO; Eveline M.Burns of Columbia University;and Wilbur J. Cohen, of theUniversity of Michigan.

They are all top-flight expertsin tile .field of Social Security, .but it remains to be seen whetheror not they 'are good prophets.Time alone will tell. "

Meany.,hile like so many· otherprophets in religious as well 'assecular'· history, they are likelyto' be "without honor" in their

. own country. But that is neitherhere nor there.

The important point is whetheror not "er'adle-to-the-grave" se­curity in this or in any othercountry would be desirable fromthe point of view of sound socialethics.

Cardinal AnswersAs coincidence would have it,

this question was discussed byCardinal Tardini, Vatican Sec­retary of State, just a: week o.rtwo before the meeting in Wash­~gtonreferred to above. The

" ... in Those Days""Now it cam-e to pass in those days, that there went

ferth a decree from Caesar Augustus ..."As Monsignor Knox has remarked, there is a roll to

that language introducing the Gospel account of the birthof Christ that is like a gun going off, or a· royal salute. Thevery words ring and are a reminder that "something ofinfinite importance took place at a finite moment of time."

The birth of Christ is dated. There was an identity~ard issued to a man of the house of David and a womanwith child. The exact calendar date may be shrouded in thecenturies, but somewhere there was a register.....;..the registerof Quirinius-and on that register there was a sign,. anidentity card, in a sense, issued to a Divine Person.

It all took place not in. the nebulous realms 6f antiquitybut in the reign of Caesar Augustus, while Cyrinus wasgo~nor of Syria. . '. ' . ,

There is something comforting about. history-andabout an event that can be set down in a definite historicalsetting. The birth of the Son of God is just such an event.It happened-it has an historical setting-Christ was dulyenrolled as a subject of the emperor. Mary and Joseph didenter the Bethlehem that still exists-did take refuge in acave that may still shelter shepherds-did make this thewelcome-place of the Son of God. , .

It is not hard at this holy season to imagine the coolnight air, the musty cave, the ill-smelling straw, the dampanimal breaths. It is not difficult to picture the manger,the wonder of near-by shepherds,. the poor place made holy'by the greatness of the event that occurred there.

But at this Christmas time, while recognizing thehistorical event that took place. with the birth' of Christ,the poverty of the cave and the littleness of the Childshould not be allowed to obscure the, divinity that these hid.

~or Christ was not only the poor Infant of Bethlehem,not only the Child whose smallness wrings sympathy fromeven the hardest of hearts. . ,

He is the Son of God-the 'proOf of the love of theFather for-His creatures. He is the Gift of the Father tomen. ~'With the Child of Bethlehem,something of heavenh;:ts fallen upon earth." H~ is the Brother Who has come tolead all, without exception, home to the Father in heaven.

. The stress in the Christmas story must be not uponour humanity which the Son of God took to Himself of theVirgin Mary by the power of the Holy ·Spirit. Me'n can getquite sentimental about that and it is only part of the story.

The stress should be upon the Divine Person Who isthe living sign of God's. love for man, the Divine PersonWho "makes all things new," Who reaches out stillto ·,unite men to Himself in a living and supernatural unionthat gives holiness and peace in. this life and is a pledge ofheaven in the next. And that is an event that has continuedsince Bethlehem and goes on still.

Enter the MadonnaThose who cannot tolerate the presence of Ma~y

throughout ~ost.of the year-who refuse to give h.er anyplace at all In God's plan for man'!;! redemption-let downthe bars of prejlldice at this holy' time and allow 'theMadonna to enter. '.' .

True enough, she is allowed only space on cards. or aposition of adoration in a manger. Her presence' is neitherexplained nor acknowledged with much attention. But eventhe m9st anti-Mary individual must know that there canbe no Child without the mother.

That was the plan of God, too. The Child would comethrough the mother-and the Person of the Child woulddemand a mother of flawless character and peerless holiness.

. Pope John spoke truly a few months ago when he saidthat one of the stumbling blocks to religious unity is theneglect of Mary on the part of non-Catholics. The Orthodoxand the Moslems hold her in high regard. The Protestants,almost without exception, give her scant attention.

But Mary is allowed in the. Christmas scene by all.While some may not explain why she is there, they darenot keep her out. For as Chesterton said with so muchcommon ,sense and wisdom and-in this case-theology:"Who ever saw a baby without its mother.", And if the mother had a place in the St.able .of Beth­lehem, how could she ever be excluded from the remainderof the Child's life? '

It raises questions, doesn't it?

Marriage Demands MutualAppreciation of Problems

By Father John L. Thomas, S. J.Ass't Sociology Prof.-8t. Louis University

How can a wife get her husband to realize that shealso is a person with needs?

SinceI can't confide in him, these ested in what their partners mayproblems build up inside and think or feelwhen I break down emotion-, Attention is focused primarilyally he can't see why I'm on their own thoughts and feel­unable to hold myself together. ings, and others enter the pictureNow I find myself growing in- .only to the extent that they maycreasingly pas- be used, manipulated, get in thesive and indif- way, or appear as obstacles.

Trade's Provide SpeculationFor Winter Hot Stove Set

By Jack Kineavy

The latest and most spectacular of the inter-leaguetrades should, provide the hot stove set with plenty tospeculate on during the long winter months. Both McLishand Temple-the principals in the deal between Cincinnatiand Cleveland - were re­portedly shocked at the nE;WS

of the swap. But then itisn't as though they wereleaving the state of Ohio.

Whatever the outcome of thedeal, Gabe Pauland Frank Lanehave done theirutmost to plugglaring weak­nesses in theirrespective ball ,~

clubs. Cinci, agood hitting ball( right downthe line, des­perately neededa fir stratemoundsman. The~ have him inMcLish, a 19 g,ame' winner lastyear.

Better SettiilgTemple, the leading hitter at

.311 among the National Leagueinfielders in 1959, is an estab­lished major leaguer with sevenyears' experience. He's expectedto fill the second base void thathas existed in Cl~velimd sincethe retirement of Joe 9:ordon,the Indiahs' current field boss.

The inclusion of veteran in­fielder Billy Martin makes thedeal somewhat ,more palatablefrom the Burghers' point ofview. Martin hasn't 'been anyball of fire since leaving theYankees in '57, but the settingfor his new job is quite differ­ent from that found in KansasCity, Detroit and Cleveland.

Bowl ContestsAt' Cinci Martin will partner

Roy MacMillan, a terrific short­stop, and he'll be playing under

. Fred Hutchinson, often charac­terized as a players' skipper. It'sno secret that Gordon and Mar­tin didn't see eye to eye and atDetroit the volatile Billy didn'ttake kindly to playing short­stop. Conditions at Cincinnatiwould'seem mOst favorable, ,forMartin, if ever he is to regainhis old time form. ' ,
