"Thoughts For Our Time

By His Eminence Cardinal McGuigan (Copyright)

'1'!!! SYMBOL Perhaps no part of our human nature has been more thoroughly misunderstood and more criticis- ea than the notion of virtue. A close parallel to our modern treat- ment of virtue can be taken from the following .incident.

some time 880. e scientifically backward country was given a present of modern farm mach- inery. When the officials of this country turned over this gift to ihose who would use it, they found that the people concerned regarded the machinery as myster- ious. dangerous and -certainly very extraordinary and suspicious con- traptlonl. In a sirniliar way. if we were to summarize the modern notion of virtue, we would find that many people would look upon the same as mysterious and suspic- lous. Especially would they regard virtue as e. type of ignorance and repression.

it is interesting to note the type or humor which has sprung from our conception of virtue. We are likely to find virtue associated with eccentricity. We picture it in terms of a very simple. naive old pastor who is likely to misley his collar or shoes, who is good but very odd. or perhaps, we may associate it with nuns and clots- ters, as if it were something that would be out of place elsewhere. it is no wonder, then. that a saint is often pictured as some- one very unusual, extremely sad and unhealthy. whereas the "nor- mal" person is virile and full of 103'-

in the days of prohibition in the United States. it was not uncom- mon to see the champions of that law delineated in cartoons as dressed in funeral garb with ser- Ious, if not cynical. evpressiona on their faces. On the other hand. a riotous celebration was often pio- tured as the standard of good- iellowship and humanity. Virtue, in its true meanins.. was left un- seen. and viewed with darker sus- picion than before.

As long as we look upon virtue is something beyond the oiidinury. us something unhealthy. or as mi-lashioned. immature and un- tueiilific. we may become act- lally afraid oi any familiarity with it. It is often necessary to Ivei-come our psychological re-

gnanca to s thing beiore vie

n learn more of it.

An unbiased glance at virtue reveals to us an astonishing fact; virtue is not at all extraordinary. not mysterious. but a rather com- mon thing that we use in our daily lives. If we were to state it simply, virtue is a name for habit, a. good'habit that helps us to do things well. It would be impossible for a person to live with any degree of happiness. to hold down a position in ariroffice or factory, to manage a hare. to train children. to do any of the ordiiiaiy tasks oi life. if he or she

or meenos. were not the.po.sse.asor oi virtue.

We are quite aware that man differs considerably from the rest oi the creatures on this earth. No one needs to train a chemical like uranium to do its work well. Even animals follow a law oi instinct which may admit of variety. out which inevitably leads them to their goal. But man. if he is to function perfectly, if he is to tie clown his energies and direct them to successful living. must develop habits which will produce good results. This. then. is apro- per notion of virtue. Virtues. them- selves, are so much oi a part of

man that they are rightly called old

his nd nature. They perfect man's ers and make possible great action; they oonserve his energies and direct them for his own perfection and the perfection oi society.

The mo t we associate virtue with the notion of a. good habit we destroy the modern ,tion of virtue as a repression or in- hibi on. Habit is the thing which pro pts us to act. virtue, then. covers the whole field oi activity. We can be hateful of virtue be- cause of disagreeable people who appear to possess the same, the sanotimonlous, the pietistic, or the gossip. But it is not virtue which prompts them to act that

WSY. o e e

The goal of our human life is the periecticn of our personalties in God. The attainment oi this goal is man's one main reason for living. Even our partial happiness here and now. is meas ed in terms of our approach to that goal. Consequently. virtue does not aim to produce a malajustment. a sour face or stupidity. its whole purpose is the development of the personality. a blossoming oi all the potentialities oi human nature. It aims to release our inner power for tremendous deeds, and guide our actions Joyiully in the un- folding oi our capabilities.

It has been said that virtue is its own reward. This is not en- tirely true. for the reward oi virtue is the success we make oi our life and the happiness that results from this. To deny the value of virtue is to deny good habits, placing man on the level oi the machine or the animal. It would take the very humanity out oi our actions. Virtue breaks down the barriers to freedom and sets free the powers of man to soar to God.

And as virtue binds together the energies of man into one mighty unit. so also does it bind men to- bether into the unit we call society. We may look upon the good habits oi mankind as the mortar holding the bricks of society together. he. onlsin . regulating the rela- t' ship oi free people. There is no other way of doing this ex- cept by force. Virtue. than, is the symbol of free men in s. free

society.

Prince Edward Island, between the years 1163 and 1767. formed part of Nova Scotia though hav- ing its own government. This strange setup caused some Ameri- cans when writing to acquain- tances on the Island to address their letters thusly: "John Smith. Esq. Prince -Edward Island. Nova scotia."

The oath of Supremacy was not required of French-Canadians un- der the terms of the Quebec Act, signed on the and of May. 1714, and recognized as the Magna Carta of Pie Canada. The French-Canadian swore allegiance. only. to the king of England. French-Canadians were almost en- iireiy Roman Catholics and.as such could not take any oath in which they recognized the King of Eng- land as the head oi the Church of England instead oi the Roman Pontiff. They were allowed. how- ever, to take an oath of allegiance to the King. by which they vow- ed to be loyal subjects in civil matters only.
