TiE'sl3Ji”lor Democracy

tS. M. Sliocmziker, reprinlcd from The Evangeli

Democracy is clianictcrizcd by a spirit. which it is hard to de- fine. and this because it is really the Spirit of God that breathes through truc demon-rut-y. We SP8 the outside of dcino('ra(',v. as we see the outside of a person coni- lng towards us down the street; but the most. important thing about that person is the spirit that cliaracterizes him. mid the

and West." says: "Locke's modern concept of the soul as a suppos- edly introspc('lcd mental sulistan(-r- gave a new, rovoliilionary, and excessively ego-centric form to the emphasis upon individual con- science. prevlriusly fostered by both Catholics and Protestants. and laid the philosophical basis for the doctrine of complete rclllzious tolerntion as a positive good which we now take so much for granted in dcmorrnlli: societ- les." . . .

Says Dr. William Aylott. Orton of Yale. "...lt is only in the Chris- tian doctrine of man that. we can find ii firm and reasoned ground for the (that) American affirma- tion." And Dr. T. 5. Eliot. the brilliant American-British poet: "The term democracy. as I have said again and again. does not. contain enough positive content to stand alone against the forces that you dlsllke...It can easily be transformed by them. lf'youd will not have God (and He is a jell- owu God) you should pay your re- spect: to Hitler or Stalin". said the great English writer 6. K. Chesterton: "There is no basis for democracy except: in a. dogma About the divine origin of man."

The weight lof so much testi- mony should convince us beyond question that Christ Is the true soul of our culture, the true soul of democracy.

But. what is 5 man who has given all his attention to developing a strong body. who has cared noth- mg for his inner life. his mind or his soul? Must. we not give far more thought to cultivating the Christian soul of democracy if we expect it. to function well?

mocracy is another leaf from the book of Christianity. which has also. I fear, been torn out and. while not perhaps misread, has certainly been half emptied of meaning by being divorced from its clirlstlim context and secular- lzed: and we have obviously, for a number of genei-st.lons,piist, been living on spiritual capitol.

Part One

During the first. part of the Chi-lstnias recess, the overseas stu- dents set. out on a tour of Wales. We went. by train to that old and historic city of Chester. just on the border between England and northern Wales. This is one of the oldest cities of Eiigland,going back to the days before accurate records were kept. It is situated on the River Dee, the scene of the old school poem. "The Miller of the Dee", which indicates pretty well the temperament of its people.

We spent an interesting Sunday afternoon looking over pages of actual history. and inspecting the old Roman gates and walls which circle the main part of the city. some ofthe streets are paved just. as they were when the Romans left. The Chester cathedral is one of the oldest in the land. The city Ls today and; has been for centuries is noted military base. It. was at Chester that our boys re- celved special training for that fateful lnvulon of Dleppe.

We went by bus on into wales to see some of their group farming scheme, their cooperatives, and Wales itself. It is only a small country, sltghtly larger than York- shire in England, and the greater part of the land is uplands, moor- land: and mountain. In the nor- thern parl: there is more agricult- ure, while, in the southern part there is more industry.

Today. nearly three quarters of the Welsh population is in the tires of the south wales coal- flelds, the county of Glamorgan, and part: of Monmouthshlre. Carmsthenshlro and Breckonshire. This is the land of the coal-mines. the iron, steel and tin works, the new factories Ind the welsh ports. There are many Interesting old residential villages and resorts along the coast. of North Wales. Two of the places we visited, Dol- gelly and Aberystwyth have some interesting old relics of Roman and Norman times. They tried to persuade us that Caesar himself slept in the old hotel where we stayed in Dolgelly. It could be so, because the hotel appeared old enough uid because history tells us that the Romans first landed along the shores of Cardigan Bay. It is quite easy to distinguish be- l'i.'CCll the Welsh people of today and the English. especially after having visited with them both.

C I I

You have to admire the Welsh

people : they love thel: country and

to a. good listener they do not

hesitate to boast 9. bit. about it.

They are vigorous. hard-working

and determined. They are perhaps

the best. singer: in Britain; at

least: they will try to sing. They

have their own background and

during the last. two or three gen-

erations, their own language has

been greatly revived.

In spite of working in llldllStl')'.

the town dwelling Welshman never

seems to lose touch with the land.

He can adapt himself to anytlilng.

but his roots usually strike back

deeply into the soil. on which

his forefathers always depended.

Farming is a rugged life in Wales;

the land is rough and markets for

their produce are distant.

We were the guests. one evening

at a. banquet put on by the w.A.

0.8.. which Ls the agriculture co-

operative union of Wales, and that Merlonlth branch of the National

Farmers' Union. They told us

about their problems and took us

out for the next. couple of days to

see their work at first hiind. There

is still much sheep farming in

Wales. in fact. it is the main farm

industry: they have to breed dif-

ferent. stralns of sheep for pas-

turlng at. different levels. The, mountain sheep thrive on highcrl altitudes. one breed is more suit-

able for the uplands. another for

the moorlaiids.

There are still many sliepliei-dr. living in their cottages upon the hill. There are no fences on those hills. The sheep know the terri- tory of their owner and stick to it. Few. if any, they told us. ever stray. They are all branded and -when shearing time comes. as in the old days, there is still the bee or rally. where the farmers work together and do the shearing.

O I 0

Those rallies are more pi-evuleiit in Wales than anywhere else to- day and usually an evening's en- tertainment of singing or danclnz follows. It is an accepted fact that one is obliged to help the other and this strengthen: their community ties and provides 1 good basis for cooperative effort.

And yet: there are the natural divisions. For instance. in the lit- tle rural villages. you will see three or more small churches for different denominations, all hav- ing to be kept up by the people of that one small community. one of the boys from Africa innocently naked why two or more of those churches could not be joined to- gether for the sake of economy. our guide had been boasting 3 bit. and via never stuck for an an-

We went down to the cooper-

of the forestry lots. They told u, that Dutch wool just does not shrink, and it doesn't. but the mountaln wool is so course that they have to import other fine: wool: to mix with it and then it loses this particular advantage. 0 O 0

We did not get to the south oi the industrial areas, but we alt. spend some time in the national library of Wales at Abcrystwyth, This great. modern building sitting up on the hill in the center of the city is really I land-mark. It. contains the history and back- ground of Wales in 1 nut-shell; it is more I museum than A library.

The most interesting item: we saw were some old manuscripts. written on sheepskin. and several types of the old quill pens used by the scholars before the days of pen and paper. Nevertheless some of the most: modern filing and recording method: in the world are employed there. For example, instead of filing away a. bulky newspaper or document. they sim- ply photograph it. reduce it tn size and put; it away in Just. ii fraction of the space.

I did not stay to finish out the tour in Wales, but came away with pleasant memories of the people, and some firm impression: of the ruggedness of the country. It was the week before Christmas and we were going to Rome. With my friend from Jamaica. I took the train to London. Mary met: Ill at Paddlngton Station. that fam- ous meeting place of criminals and spies. but. our intentions were good.

0 I I

We were leaving the next. morn- ing on a pilgrimage for n placa we had often heard of but never dreamed of seeing. Rome. At: six in the morning we were finishing s specially prepared breakfast. in the bedroom. Ac seven, we were in the inner circle tube, down under the heart. of London. held- lng for Victoria. Station. We had been warned of the crowds. so wt- packed light and took I! couple of blankets. We needed them later. About seven-thirty. the pilgrims started pouring into the depot: special cars on the trains were rc- served. At eight; o'clock we were off and rolling south frmn Lon- don, leaving England. so we were on the bout; shortly and bound across the channel towardsnleppe The ferry was loaded that morn- ing. for many pilgrims were going on their holidays. and there were pilgrims from all over England. Scotland and Ireland, most. of whom had never crossed the Channel before.

We were the only forelgiiers. and our friend Chester Dowdy frnin Jamaica, the only negro in the group. But. we all had somgthlng in common on this trip. It. took three hours to crow. but it was r.ot rough. We had our first pack- ed lunch distributed on board. It was good-ham sandwiches. or- anges, bananas. mid chocolate milk. soon we were In Dlcppe. on the train and on our way to Paris. People were fast. getting acquainted and were very co-

operative. Our travel guide and the priest in charge knew their way around.

soon the spirit of the mission was evident: it was not in holiday. it. was a pilgrimage. The rosary was being said in every compart- ment on the train. The lillgrlnmgc was nrgaiiizcd by the London diocese. There were several non- catholics with us. And the farther we went. the more Irish people there nppenred to be.
