i Thoughts For Our Time E V By His Eminence Cardinal McGiiigon ' i i icopyrilhtl i

Of all th: virtues. the ono'develo most talked about today but least ' ernment. understood is Justice. Children The necessity for accepting go. who have not yet gone to school cial responsibility applies in count- deinaiid things as being due to less other matters which we are (hem. being theirs' in justice, gplinclined to disregard entirely. We ilioiigh they may not use'the word ; often console ourselves when we melt. It does greater harm to 3 hear such evils as anti-semitlsm man to say that he is unjust or, or the mythical superiority of one iiiifair than to say that he is un-.1806 over others condemned; bur. Lllld. .we do not go any further. We

This. of course, has its founds.f-satisfy our conscience by saying

-i of responsible gov-

llnll in our human nature. We. know instinctively that we have --rrtain rights, and everything in' use rebels when these are violat-i --d. We know, for instance, that' if our neighbor pays a certain price for a commodity. we should; not have to pay a higher price. we know. likewise, that we have a strict obligation to pay our debts. and that if we harm some- one - or as we more often think: of it, if someone harms us -i something should be done to com- pensate for the injury. 3

In a broader field, we know that we are entitled to certain bene-i ins from the government and; from employers. But, it must be: !PlnEmbGfCd that such benefiis' imply certain duties on the parti ni individuals and cmployes, We speak of just wages and just taxes, of "just demands." on the part of noth workers and employers. it v. here that justice becomes most, izigue. For while it begins as a mason for getting what we need. uhat we need becomes confused with what we want. and justice- becomes one more weapon used, by the advocates of both sides of- .i question. It is then simply Ll. "lflgilli or hollow symbol and no longer a virtue which should, -iiake possible more human living.l

For that reason it is very ini- ll0i'l.Elli'i for us to grasp the no- iion of what is meant by "social;

l nation.

that we have never subscribed to such ideas and that furthermore the particular problems will most likely never effect us personally. But. by our negative and irres- ponsible attitude we. actually con- tribute to the increase of the social evils of the day. If we can do nothing by ourselves we are bound just as strongly to find some way of joining others or at least of supporting others. and of doing something to help change the sit-

Peace is the fruit of justice. and the tranquility of order which we desire so greatly both on the na- tional and international scene will only come about when each one realizes his personal and communal obligations.

whether higher or lower wages. iiigher or lower rents, greater or fewer restrictions -- we can only

hurt ourselves by using the icrm'

without understanding it fully.

iiistice to distinguish it from "in- dividual liistiee." we are all familiar: if one man Juys something from another he is! bound to pay for it. If one man! works for another. the employer, is obliged to pay a just wage, and! the worker on his part to do a' fair day's work. But. obvious dif-l liculties will arise. .

Let us suppose an employer sim-' ply cannot afford to pay a "just wage". if he were to give a com-I mensuratc salary, he might be-i romc bankrupt. What must be' done in that situation? Justlcel does not compel a man to do the impossible. It is precisely here that social justice comes into the picture. If something in the whole system leads to unjust sit- nations. and individuals by them- srlves can do nothing to change them, they are then bound. not by individual but by social justice. to wit together and strive to correct ilie system. Individuals cannot rxcuse themselves by pleading the hopelessness of the task; if they themselves can do nothing they must co-operate with others in finding the solution to their prob- icms.

To take an example: every effort must be made that fathers of fam- ilies be paid enough for their do- mestic needs. But. if this cannot be done under existing circumstances. social justice demands that changes he introduced into the system as soon as possible. whereby such a wage will be assured to every adult ivorkingmnn. The necessary changes will depend on the particular cir- riimstances. In this case. family allowances through government as- sistance certainly help; various cm- iiloyers might also band together and arrange some ivay of avoiding .-iiithroat and unlimited competi- ilfln.

The particular act commanded by social justice will not be as easy to discover as in cases of in- dividual or particular justice. But vlie obligation to act is just as strong in both cases.

Today there is an increasing ten- riency to leave all such problems up in the government. We de- vri the dictators of the world as me arch-enemies of freedom and democracy, but at the same time re continually feel that it is up to the government or to someone else to help us. Through our self- !-h desire to make someone else do everything for us. and through our concurrent shirking of per- sonal responsibilities. we have dis- iorted the whole notion of 1115- iice. For many justice has be- rome a "one-way" street. This is one of the chief obstacles to the

come aware of an approaching parent. and stop once they have been fed and are left alone. Pur- ple Finch nestlings seem to cry. "Ch-wee. ch-wee. ch-wee." nearly all day long. at the pitch of their lungs. Fortunately. this commotion lasts only about a week. and. though loud, their call is musical.

This must be inherited from Papa. He ranks high among bird choristcrs. his song combining the gladness of the Song Sparrows, the exuberance of the Goldfira:h's. and the richness of the Rose- breasted Grosbeak's. And so it is a joy to have him near, in spite of his noisy nestlings.

Their home is generally 10 feet or more up. on a branch of an everlrreen tree. and is built of rootlets and grasses. The par- ents both help to feed the child- ren on buds, small fruits, and some seeds. Their family char- acteristics are an extra stout bill. and a forked tall; but whereas Papa. is beautiful. Mamma has no lovely colouring. she resembles a Sparrow with a very much streaked breast. and the children all take after her.

Mr. Purple Finch is not really purple. He has been well describ- ed by one bird watcher so look- ing like a Sparrow that has been dipped in raspberry juice. I-Iis colouring is more intense each summer. But he requires sunshine on him to bring out his best points. Then you will be amazed at the brilliance of his majenta head,,-which is slightly crested. and the bright. rosy pink of a. spot on his back just above the tail. His breast is a soft pink. Watch out for him sitting on the very top of some tree near his home. while he sings his best. That will be until the end of July. once the children are able to fly he is not heard as frequently. nor is his song as prolonged. But he has taught his little sons to sing a different song. and by autumn they will be able to whistle, "Pe- a-we-to-tee-to." This is quite un- usual in Blrdland.

Putting several small crosses at the end of a letter to signify kisses, is believed

to have originated at the time when the cross-marl: took the place of an oath. in Anglo-Sax-

on times in England the mark of the cross was required following the signature of those who could wriie as well as after those who could not write. During the Sec- ond World War the British Gov- crnmcnt issued regulations for- bidding sailors to sign letters with the traditional "love and xxxs,
