Father Bergin In Lecture At St. Philip Neri Parish May 2nd

Speaking on "The Everlasting Church," the Rev. Wm. J. Bergin, C. S. V., Head of the Department of Philosophy here, addressed th~

larges t c rowd ever . to be assembled in S t . Philip Neri parish IB;st Mon­day evening, May 2. Although the speech is too long to print in its entirety, we quote certain portions of it.

"Now my dear frier,as, I care not what any man may tnink of the Catholic Church; w hetner he regards her with t he eyes of love or t hroug h the distorting medium of hate, there she stands, the most col­ossal a nd enduring fact in the his­tory of the worlO: . Even thos~ who know nothing of her inner beautY. her divine strength and supernatural endowments , who take only an ex­ternal view of her, are invariably impressed with her str ength and vi­t a lity which are equa lly manifest in her pas t struggles and triumphs and in her present hold u,pon the love and affection of millions of children . She is, I say an enduring fact in the midst of a changing world. There is no s uch amazing and magnificent spectacle in all history as her- triumpha l march a­cross the vast expanse of two thous­and years. H er life has been so closely interwoven w ith the social institutions, the civil a nd political destiny of the civilized world for the past two t housand years, that again and gain she seemed about to be buried under the ruins of fall­ing civilizations or t o be eng ulfed in the socia l and religious upheavals which have marked the birth of new eras; but when the wild. tumultous ·

wonder what caused the big deflation of interest in the forma­tion of a practical flying training department at St. Viator. Just two years ago, a poll conducted here showed an overwhelming majority of students in favor of it . . The formation of such a department is not outside the bounds of practic­ality-let me elucidate: a firs t class airplane only one year old can be purchased for as little as $850, hav­ing an operating cost normally of about 85 cents per hour. The prac­tice field lying east of Bergin field or one of the College Farm fields could be utilized as a landing space.

Lectures On Temperance

On April 29 Larry Roemer, Apos­tolic Chairman of the Chicag.o unit of Cisca, addressed a large audience in the Seminar Room on the im­portant subject of temperance with particular reference to a lcoP,ol.

After pointing out the r~~ttable pertinency of this topic to colleg­iate life, Roemer proceeded to show the deleterious effects of alcoholic excesses. Although the speaker treat­ed t he physiological aspect of the question thoroughly, he occupied himself principally with its psychol­ogical considerations. The ease wth which t he habit may be acquired and the extreme difficulty of breaking it were graphically pictured.

Alcohol Is Good in Itself

Roemer was careful to point out that liquor was a good, not an evil in itself, and that the evil cons ists in the abuse of this good. He urged reasonable t emperance and. modera­tion in drinking, not necessarily ab­solute temperance.

A campaign has been inuagurated to encourage students to take some form of temperance pledge. Assist­ing in this work are Harold Sand­quist, Daniel Ward, Daniel Lynch, Vincent Murphy, and Francis San­huber.

"The Catholic Church a ppealed to the will; ranaticism appealed to the law: The Church was making splen­did headway with the pledge for total abs~l.D.ence, in places where mines and factories and s imilar in­dustrial projects strained men's ner­ves, and made a lcohol a menace to them; but her campaign for self­conquest was interrupted wheti fan­aticism got the upper hand. When t he law said "Thou shalt not," and said it unreasonably , it became ro­guish to say, "Just watch me."
