Where Are the Vocations The Vocation Novena in the Diocese will run fro~
June 1 until Pentecost Sunday, June 9. The Apostles gave us the example of this first novena. They,spent the time from the Ascension of Christ until the descent of the Holy Ghost upon them in prayer, waiting for God to strengthen them in their vocation.' ,
These novena days will be spent in the same way by the faithful of the Diocese. We are united in prayer asking God to send laborers into this porUon of His harvest field. The Diocese has need of priests and Brothers and Sisters. ~ince God does not abandon His people, we feel sure 'that the beginning's of vocations are in many of our young people. How is it, then, that there are not niore asking-to be admitted into seminaries and religious houses.
Father Thomas of st. Louis University stressed several points in his May 16 column for THE ANCHOR that would bear repeating'. Parents can encourage vocations not by forcing the idea on their children but, first of ,all,
- 'by showing reverence toward priests and religious. This shows the children, what a holy thing a vocation is.
Second, parents sho\lld g'ive their children the p~sitive
challenge of holiness, urging them in their:present-day lives to be heroes for Christ. It is from these that God chooses His helpers. ',.. '
, Third, parents should have their children realize that the Church is the continuation of Christ in the world and even now' they should, do something to help Christ carry on His work.
Agairi, parents must realize that vocations Jlre built on solid virtues, not' emotionalism or "playing at religion."
Finally, there is no substitute for prayer.
Woman's Role _ ~ , In his re'cent talk to the Daughters of Isabella in
New Bedford, ,Bishop C~mnolly made some pungent remarks,on the place of women in society. The Bishop pointed out that a ,woman's chief role is "to bring out the best in a man and her family."
This'she can accomplish only by asserting the finer qualities of her own nature, by providing the inspiration that ~s needed in a home and family. '
Unfortunately, too many women are surrendering their true role 'and are trying to compete with men to their own detriment with resultant harm .to the whole family. Some women think that it is sophisticated to speak vulgarly, clever if !hey act as a "pal" with men, stylish if they run around in dungarees or undersized shorts. As one magazine put it: "They think they are sights, to behold; actually they are just sights.'
With the ~ummer coming on we will meet up with a great deal of this. We will see mothers and wives acting in a most unladylike way, and setting the example for their children to do the same. And then, they will wonder what has happened when children throw off the wise restraint~ of discipline and goodness and imitate the pattern- of their elders. As the Bishop said, "There are many women who are learning the hard way that this is the wrong way:" And they are learning at the expense of their own charac
,tel' and the honor and, happiness of their families. Children are gTeat imitators. That is how they learn.
Young people are the same. That is how they learn what is expected'of them in their near-approaching ~dult lives. But how' will -they learn unless' they are taught. And who Is there to teach them but their elders and especially their mothers ang fathers. If the mother is an example of goodness and dIscipline and holiness in' a home, she is giving the best possible lessons, to her husband and children. And she is living out h~r. true role as a woman.' .
8ir Winston Churchill once.wrote: "I look at youtli in all its activities, and I wonder what would lie Ilefore them if God wearied of mankind." A critic, reading this, replied with sharp perception: "To what 'inferno might we be consigned, if God should ever weary of mankind? Could even God devise a word so grim, than men have made from weariness of Him?"
St. John of the Cross has written that God will never do for man what man can do for himself. Trust in God is always necessary, but it cannot be used as an excuse for' laziness. ' '.

Son of Living God
God Love You By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D.
Mohammed had twenty-two years in which to labor, Buddha forb-five, Our Lord a little less than three. Yei the short lifeword of Our Lord hit history with such an impact that He split time In two, so that all history since then has been dated A.D. or B.C.
Mohammed belonfls to the Arabs, Buddha to the people of "lndlil, Confucius to the Chinese, but Our Lord cannot be identified with a nation. He belongs to the world. .
After much licentiousness, Buddha turned from women In disgust. It was not so much that he left his passions, as that his passions left him. His virtue was born of satiety rather than discipline. Mohammed was a sensualist, who promised a sensualist heaven, and like all sensualists despised women. Our Lord, living a life' of purity, elevated women: In an age which would not accept a woman as a witness, He defied the times by making a woman the first witness of His Resurrection. ...
Mohammed op~nly confessed three months before his death: "I am a man as ye are". But Our Lord, on dying, said He would rise again. This is the difference between all reli gious leaders' and Christ. They were men, and, He, the Son 01 the' Living God.
. Buddha despising slaves and the -Iowl,y born once wrote: "The. teaching is for men of understanding, not for fools." Our Lord went Into the highways and byw,-'lYS for His followers, and declared that His teachings were hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed to little ones. Your daily sacrifice of a little luxury will heip the' Holy Father's own Society for the Propaga- . ti.on of the Faith declare Christ's teachings in the highways and byways of the Mission world.
GOD LOVE YOU to Miss A. F. H. "Flowers are dear to me. It took a great deal of will power to pass by some violets. Please use the enclosed dollar for Missions." . . -. to' Mrs. J.C.F. "I've been thinking about what $1 <can do for the Missions. My grandparents were born in Scotland and I know a bargGin when I hear one." ... to Mr. and Mrs. J.W. for $5. "This is the amount I had left after paying all my bills." ... to R.C.B. for $2 "I was saving this money for a long playing record but decided that It would be better to add one pagan child's name to the heavenly record instead."
Everyone loves a treasure hunt and so we propose to send . our readers on one! Will you look in your cellars and your attics, in your bureau and your J~wel box and find a treasure that you are willing to send to us that you might "lay up treasure for yourself in the kingdom of heaven."

.In the last release of The Yardstick the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, which has its headquarters in Brussels," Belgium, was criticized by Msgr. Higgins for its refusal to cooperate on a basis.of mutual respect with the Christian Unions of WesteT1i Europe. This week, belOause of the ,importance and ·timeliness of this subject, Msgr. Higgins has invited Mr. August Vanistendael, secretary general of the International Federation of. Christian Trade Unions"'!>also of Brussels, to discuss it in greater detail as a guest columnist. Mr. Vanistendael is in Washington at the .present 'time for' a series of conferences with representatives oj the AFL-Cro. ' ",
.. " ' : The question has been asked Um~ and; again whether
all free trade unions could not unite in one single, worldwide international federation so .that the Christian and Socialist -unions, .along with others' and with eac,h other, would join in one interna-. .
I tf f ' . I eral Se.cretary, of t"h!J. International p a orm ,O~, socIa 'tionaf Federation of Christian pr.o gI' e S s, freedom and peace~, .
For practical purposes the , whole question boils dqwn 'to the rei a tionship between the In terriational Confederation of Free Trade Unions UCF-TN) and· thE' Internation a 1 Federation of ChI' i s t ian Trade Unions (IFCTUl, so lIimilar in cap-Itals .. yet so different in being. When in 1949 the International
,Confederation of . Free' Trade' Unions was established, an iilYitation was sent to the different Christian unions. on the Euro- . pean continent and in Canada, to join the new international and disband the International Federation of Christian T l' a d e Unions within two years.
This demand has been recentlY qualified by: Msgr. George .G., Higgins of the N.C,W.C. as being unreasonable. and it has proved in fact to be no workable proposition for bringing about the de
, Illred unity. Suggestions Ignored
Would thiI1gs have been different, if the American trade unions .had had a fuller knowl-, edge of the phenomenon' of Christian trade unionism? Let us refrain from doing any guesswork along these lines and stick, to the facts. '
The Christian trade union intemational suggested a form of permanent and organized cooperation, excluding none of the possible further developments. This suggestion took the form of a document, but this document was never seriously put before any of. the policy-making bodies ot the International ConfederatioD of Free Trade Unions.
It was argued mainly that national differences made 'it 'lmpossible to consider'any proposal for. international' cooperation. The fact, in particular, that Christian trade unions were reestablished In. Germany was of' paramount importance for the negative attitude on the part of· the. International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. Differences
, existing in Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and France were also taken into consideration, but 'not with the same strong feelings ,as was the German cause.
Cooperation Established, Eventually a strong, organized,
and fruitful 'cooperation was established at the European level in' the Joint Trade Unioil Advisory Committee with the Organization for European Cooperation, comprising twelve members from the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and five from the Christian trade unions. Moreover Schevenels,' General Secretary of the European· Re
, gional Organization of the International Comederation of Free Trade Unions, is functioning as the General Secretary of the
Trade Unio~s, 'is serving on that same committee as his'assist!mt.
It is well known, that a certain degree of coo per a t ion was achieved also in the Consultative Committee of the Europeal) Coal and Steel Community. .
The Christian unions, on their part, have constantly suggested extending this cooperation to all European organizations: to the Council of Europe, North Atlantic Treaty' Organization, the Brussels-Group for 'the Common Market and Euratom, etc., but their suggestions, :were turned down every time by the European Regional Organization of the Intern'ational Confederation of Free Trade Unions..
At the general level relations were eased a bit In the international Labor Oi'ganization where Mar,tin Ruppert, President of the Dutch Protestant Trade Union Center, was elected asa member' 'tianship in the Society of Jesus of the workers group 'of the Oov- at the Jesuit college ,here: .
. Boa The convert son of U. S. Secermng . y. retary' of State John Foster
Seek Cooperation Dulles "'iii spelid several weeks It is clear-that cooperation can at the Goethe Institute in M'u
:Only start when both trends of 'nich brushing up on his Gh'man . free trade unionism accept each , before beginning his final year of other's existence, in an unbiased way. This even implies that new unions of either trend can be 01'ganized if workers so decide. Cooperation therefore means compromising on the monopoly position of either movement. As far as the Christian 'unions are concerned there is no difficulty at all, since they reject monopolies for trade unio'ns as being hardly consistent with real trade union freedom. If they know, however, before starting any cooperation, that it is only accepted as long as there is no opportunity to liquidate them, one can not wondel' that they should have some reservations.
And yet the facts show that it was precisely the Christian trade unions, which every time took the initiative of suggesting cooperation between both P free trade union internationals.
They al'e not a bunch of, narrow-mi.nded sectarians, and are open to loyal cooperation, but who would blame them,' after So many futile efforts, If they have perhaps lost 'a little of their Oliginal candor?

Almost agafnst her will, she falls in love with Ilya Lanskol, a young member of the Paris Russian colony. The French capital 18 the scene of most of the. book.
Family Quarrel In Leopold Lindberg, the Jew
Ish heritage is always at war with the Orthodox Christian culture into which his conversion has taken him. The old - fashioned, conservative Ideas of human behavior Ingrained In him make it Impossible that he should accept the atheistic Ilya as his daughter's suitor.
There is a quarrel, Stephanie leaves home and runs away with Dya, ,but Is miserablY unhappy. Then comes World War II to turn Paris upside down and to make more chaotic the relations between Lopold, his daughter. and Ilya. As the book ends, IlylJ. has gone off to war, leaving Stephanie about to bear a child, Leopold Lindberg is dead, and his Russian priest fdend, Father Kahn, Is setting about the task of reclaiming Stephanie.
In the background are a multitude of minor characters, most notable among them Dya's highly unconventional parents and his brothel', Andre, and sister Marianne-and their Parisian bohemian friends. There is also Father Kahn, with whom Leopold Lindberg has countless theological conversations-a priest in the direct line of descent from the Russian religious men of Dostolevskl's novels.
This Is not an easilY read book. because of the interweaving of the stol'ies of its characters, nor is it entirely a happy one-but It holds the reader's attention (except for occasional idiomatic lapses caused by translation difficulties),. It will be popular.
More Impressive The Radiant Mountain is a
much shorter and simpler. but. I think more impressive book. It is in the form of a journal kept by a White Russian general, Andrei Alexelevich Beregin. while he and an old, deeply spiritual schoolteacher, Sergei Ivanovich. are fleeing across Russia to escape from communist secret police. They are led by the General's SOll, a convert to the new regime. .
As the !light and the joul'l1al continue. It becomes apparent that Beregln is much worried about the crimes and brutalities' of which he himself has been guilty in the past - that much floul-searching is going on as he compares modern communism with his own former lack or- love and charity. The book ends with the two comrades resolving to end the flight by giving themtielves up, in order to find God nnd peace in the death they know will come. '
In the self-examination of the general there is much that re
minds one of the old Bolshevik in Koestler's Darkness at Noon, who has come to terms with life and death by the time he is shot in the back of the head b~ one
· of the new communists. And like the Koestler book, The Radiant Mountain will give the Western reader much insight into the Russian mind, past and present. SHRINE }?OR OUR LADY OF AFRICA: A statuette

I am indebted, however, to a most interesting analysis of the book in the May 4 issue of the conservative Nation
· al Review by William Schlamm, · for reading the book sooner than
I might otherwise have done. . By way of gratitude. I should
like to refer readers to Mr." ScWamm's . article, called "A' Book'to Burn," which will, I am sure, make enjoyable, if frightening, reading. Enjoyable, because Mr. Schlamm exposes the Pictionary for a piece of not very subtle propaganda of the far-tothe-lett sort, where everything Russian is glorified and Americans come off very badly indeed.
III the book capitalism is defined as that· system under which "The means of production and the apparatus of distribution are controlled by private owners who run them at their own discretion, driven by an urge for profit." Communism is featured by a social life "guided by the principle 'From each according 'to his ability, to,.gach according to his· needs', and class, labor and property distinction disappear.
Fathers Tennien and Greene of Maryknoll would enjoy the definition of "Bamboo Curtain," . which goes: "Those who believe that such a barrier exists allege that there is no freedom of movement in and out of China." That naivete of this sort should get itself published is the 'frightening aspect of a worthless book.

HARRISBURG (NC) - Pope Pius XII is "the Apostle of peace and consolation" who tells man';'
. kind that "the power and energy of Christ Is far greater and superior to atomic. energy."
This tribute was paid by Archbishop Amlete Giovanni Cicognani, Apostolic Delegate to the . United States, at the consecration of st. Patrick's Cathedral here..
The Apostolic Delegate referred to the Pope as the "Good Samaritan" whose "works of mercy from a golden chapter of charity in the history of the world." .
"Pius XII has clearly recognized the dangers which threaten 'human dignity and' human existence if the new scientific discoveries are not limited to a good use," Archbishop Cicognanl said. "By repeated appeals to nations and to the world • •.• he has proclaimed that the dignity of man is supreme and should be valued and respected above all - in labor. in the service of his country, and In his relations to national and international life.
Greatest Power "The most magnificent object
in all creation Is man," the
and not to allow himself to become a part of the machine. Because as man he is the son of. God, and -the power and energy of Christ is far greater and superior to atomic energy; and Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever."
The Pope "exhorts men to adjust themselves without fear to all forms of progress," tbe Archbishop concluded. "and to employ the advantages of such progress for the betterment of humanity in its' movement on the path of virtue." .
THE ANCHORThurs.• May 30. 1957
. Church Must Stress Farming in Africa
CAPE TOWN, South Africa mC) - The Church must place more emphasis on agriculture If she wishes to become self-sufficient In Africa.
This memorandum was prepared at the request of Archbishop Celestine J. Damiano, U. S.-born Apostolic Delegate to South Africa. It was drafted by Dr. Karl H. Shuette, lecturer In botany at the University of Cape Town.
"The Church and agriculture are Intimately linked In Africa," the memorandum states. "Without a real improvement In agricultural production the Indigenous Church cannot. hope to flourish because of poverty and unsuitable social' conditions."

THEOLOGY FOR LAYMEN
Attributes of· God: All In God Is His Essence
By F. J. Sheed
God, we have seen, is utterly changeless. This might strike us as involving Him in infinite stagnation. For us, with our matter-bound habits, activity seems unthinkable without change; but this, as we see looking closer, is because we are finite.
Th f t t t··t fell'S grea ac IVI y 0
the infinite Spirit is knowing; with us this activity involves an immensity of chailge, learning what we had not known, forgetting what we had; In both f a s est h e change comes from our finiteness, in the one case from ignorance, in the other from a defect in mem-Dry; but God Ii: now s a I I things, merely being God, and there is no forgetfulness for Him; so that His activity of knowing is at once limitless and changeless; He is omniscient.
His other great activity is loving; and that again for men involves change, waxing and waning, finding new objects, losing hold upon things already loved; here again the change fomes from our lim1tations; God loves with infinite loving-power, no loss possible, no increase conceivable. He knows ana loves with infinite intensity, and this is not stagnation but measureless vitality.
God is all-powerful, too. There are no limits to what He can do, no limits to what He can m,ake. The most powerful man cannot make anything of nothing at all, he needs some material to work upon and in the absence of material, his power must lie all locked up within him and unusable. That is a solid limitation and God lacks It. He needs no material: He creates.
"Can God make a weight so heavy that He cannot lift it?" asks the unbeliever. He feels he has us cornered. If we say "yes," then God cannot lift it; if we 5ay "no" then God cannot make it. (The reader might do well to pause here and think out how he would answer it.) Our reply is that God can indeed do all
'things, but a ·self-confradictlon 1s not a thing. God cannot make a four-sidedt"riangle, because the terms contradict each other and cancel out: a four-sided ttiangle 1s meaningless, It Is not a thing at all, It Is nothing. A weight that an almighty Being cannot lift Is as much contradiction In terms as a four-sided triangle. It too is nothing. And (to give an old text a new emphasis) nothing is impOssible to God.
Because God is infinite, there ill no distinction between His attributes and Himself. Take knowledge, and begin with our own. My knowing Is something that I do, but 1t Is not myself. This may not strike us as a limitation 'but It Is, and a conIllderable one. If only my knowledge were myself, I should be knowing all the time, simply by being; I should not have to make B distinct effort to know; I Illiould never forget. But, as it is. my knowledge Is less than myIle)f; I am finite enough. heaven knows, but my knowledge is more finite stiB.
Now God'S knowing Is not subject to this llmltation. It is not distinct from Himself. It is Himself. If it were not, if there were really a distinction between His knowledge and Himself, then He" would have something that His knowledge lacked. In that event it would not be infinite, and we Ilhould have to face the monstrosity of an infinite God with limited knowledge.
, ;This applies to all His attrl-· 'b4tes - just as GodJs. know-Mdge, so He is lov~, He is jU$t1ce.
. He is mercy. We have to think of. them as distinct, in order to think of them at all; but in Him' they are not distinct from His very self, and therefore not from one anothei·. Whatever God has, He is. And these attributes are not less themselves for being infinite. God's love would not be greater by being distinct from His very self - as ours is!
It is a difficult idea for our minds. But then God must be mysterious to the beings He made of nothing. Live with it; keep it in the mind; and our feeling that the attributes must be distinct will grow less, we shall begin to "see" their oneness'
. in God. We are now clearer, I hope, as
to what God is. We are ready for the question - what is God's life, what does He do with Himself? We are ready, in other words, for the great adventure of the Blessed Trinity.
Teachin'gs of Aquinas Termed 'Bourgeois'
BERLIN (NC)-Teachings of st. Thomas Aquinas are "bourgeois capitalism" and social action programs based on them by an American priest. are outmoded, a Moscow journal has charged.
It cited Sulpician Father John F. Cronin, assistant director of the Social Action Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, as a leading representative of the American school of Neo-Thomist thought.
Father Cronin is attacked for making harmony between capital . and labor the goal of his work. "Such an ideal is old-fashioned and fruitless," the article said.' The,victory of the working classes in the inevitable struggle between capital and labor is merely put off to a later time by such tactics, it stated.

Hard Work of Capuchin Fathers Shows in Okinawan Conversions
NAHA,. Okinawa (NC) - In the 10 years" since organized missionary work began on Okinawa, the largest of the Ryukyu Islands, the Catholic population has risen from 200 to 1,500 out
. of a total population of 800,000 people.
Through the history of Okina\va, there was no missionary activity on the island until the Capuchin Fathers arrived in 1947.
In 1953, the Daughters of Mary, Health of the Sick, of Cragsmoor, N. Y., came to the island to aid the Capuchin Fathers.
The Sisters conduct a dispensary· and do catechetical work. In their rounds through the 'villages they bring food and clothing to the people while caring for the sick. They lea~e Catholic literature written in Japanese, the language of the islands.
The work of the Sisters is chiefly with non-Catholics, but most of the Catholics on the island have come into the Church through the work of the . Sisters and the Cap u chi n Fathers.
Last year, when the new Vista Maria - in - Okinawa dispensary
. was opened, a large statue of Our Lady, Health of the Sick, was put up alongside the path leading to the dispensary door.
Immediately the little shrine became a center of attraction. Young mothers carrying sick babies and old men limping painfully, stopped to bow.
Spontaneously it became virtually a custom that no one ever passed the statue of Our Lady and the Holy Child without stoPpIng to bow.
. Statues are not familial' to the people of Okinawa, so the shrine

presented a problem to one lit tle boy.
One day one of the Sisters noticed him walking round the statue, viewing it from every angle.
But he still wasn't sure if the woman holding the baby was alive or not, and there was only one 'Yay to make sure.
Picking up a little stone, he threw it. at the statue and then ran away as quickly as he could. Several times he turned to look back over his shoulder-just to be sure that he wasn't being chased.
This year there will be a May procession. During it the Okinawans wili be introduced to the venerable Catholic practice of crowning Our Lady's statue.

Social Work Aim Differs Today
'NEW YORK mc) - The aim of social work is to help people and communities to help themselves, James Fogarty, dean of Fordham University's School of Social Service, said here.
"We have passed the stage where we planned for communities or for people in communities. Today we attempt to develop the capacity and resources of the individual person and of the community to handle their own affall'S," the, educator told the Catholic Interracial Forum.
In his daily work, the professional social worker deals with "people who have been hurt by social and economical discrimlnation1' the dean said. , Among the "hurts" he enumerated were bad housing, industrial accidents, broken homes and exposure to depraved or immoral influences. - "Some of these they bring upon themselves and some are visited upon them by society because of their race, religion or economic condition," he stated.

Only Few Oppose Religious Query
WASHINGTON (NC)-The U. S. Census Bureau said here "very few persons" refused to answer a question on religious affiliation included for testing purposes in a recent nation-wide survey.
'The bureau is 'now_ weighing the "pros Qnd' cons of including stich a question in the 1960 population and housing census, The l'ecent test was designed to, gauge reaction to' the query which opponents have claimed would- be widely reserited. '
Several church-related groups, including the Catholic Press Association and the National Coun-'eil of Catnolic Men, have urged the question be asked stating that it will aid churches in their future planning and assist scholars in their stUdy of contemporary American society.
Gruenther'Stresses Concept of Ch'CJrity "
WASHINGTON (NC) - The head of the American Red Cross said when a civilization substitutes the material for the spiri.. tual it becomes "soft·, and loses its concept of charity,
Gen, Alfred M. Gruenther told some 3,000 delegates at the 32nd llational Red 'Cross convention
'that a "neighbor helping neighbor" policy "is essentially a job' for charitable 01'ganizations" and -a basis for a lasting civilization.
On the opening day of the convention, Gell. Grenther at tended a Solemn Mass offered in St. Thomas the Apostle church. here. '
"One hears from time to time the question: 'Why 'not let the government do ~t?'" the Red Cross President observed,· "I think that would be a major error because I consider that this concept ,of 'neighbor helping lleighbor' is essentially a job for· charitable organizations."
"If we should ever abdicate to 'government the responsibility for home relief and rehabilitation of the fainilY," Gen, Gnienther said, "I think we would be start;, ing a path that would endanger our concepts .and our way of ' life."
'Nehru Shifts Stand On Birth Control /
NEW DELHI (NC) - Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru has urged that the birth control movement. in, this country be made "widespread and successful."
Observers regard Mr. Nehru's present stand as a complete reversal of his position up to 1950, when he advocated increased economic production to care for the population rather than birth control. They cite portions of a 1949 Nehru speech, to a United Nations commission meeting in India, in support of this view, which was that of his mentor, the late Mohandas K. Gandhi.
Mr. Nehru then said that a ,belief that overpopulation existed in India was a "serious error." Parts of India were actually underpopulated, he said, Underproduction 'not overpopulation was the crux of the problem, the Prime Minister stated at that' time. The- solution lay .not in checking' population growth but in increasing production, he then emphasized.

The Pope came here in 1917 as' Nuncio shortlY after his consecration as Archbishop, the 40th anniversary of which will, be celebrated next Monday,
One bright summer day in 1918. he rang the bell of the Sisters' kindergarten in the suburb of Ampfing. A young fellow opened the door and without looking too carefully, yelled at the visitor:
"Just wait here, you can't come in!"
Then, thinking' a: beggar was at the door, he began to look for Sister Guardian to' get a few, pennies to give the poOl' man. Before turning around, 'however, he noticed how the stranger was moving on.
"Sister,'!' said the youngster, "He isn't even waiting!" . Sister looked out of the ·window, and 10 and behold, the Archbishop was about to turn back. She rushed out terrified, to apologize, but the Nuncio was not a bit disturbed.
"You've got a good doorkeeper' here; Sister," he said smiling. "Keep him on the job!"
Once on entering the playroom.. the Nuncio noticed a group of children playing· volley ball. He caught hold of the ball immediately, to show them he was familiar with the game.
Whereupon one of the boys stepped in,
"That's no good. Mister," he said condescendingly. "See? This

tation, obligingly followed the instruction of the youngsters who apparently did not rec!ognize him.
"Now," the boy remarked with a sigh of i'elief, "Now, you're okay!"
Other mempries of the Pope's' stay in Munich h~\Ve also been recalled here. .
,. On one occasion when' the nunciat"ure was short a man, Nuncio"Pacelli asked' the Abbot
.of the nearby Benedictine Abbey of Scheyern whether he could perhaps spare one of the Broth': ers to help out. It so happened
. that 75-year-old Brother Andrew . had just been relieved of kitchen
duty. So he was sent here, to be the Nuncio's butler and doorkeeper.
. Soon the' Nuncio took a great liking to the old man. Anxious to improve' his German, he often engaged, in conversation with

"F'urthermore," he added hurriedly. and he was 5criollS ahout it, "they couldn't use you in Scheyel'n.. Your Gennai1 isn't good enough. so you couldn't even preach or hear confessions."
The Nuncio beamed. ' "Suppose I sang a Hig'h Mass,
once in a while." "No, no!" replied the Brother,
"That's the Abbot's joh - we" don't need an extra man!" '.' .
Some years later the Nuncio
had becQme a Cardinal. In 1930 Brother Andrew of Scheyenl. passed away peacefully, aged 84. His Eminence rememberd the man who once had refused him admission t() his monastery. Affectionately, he sent his sincere expression of, sympathy' to the Scheyern Abbey,
