CHARITY

A few weeks ago one of the any papers carried an article mu a heading to this effect: the mvislon of low-cost medicine will the need of charity. This ,,.,,5 a startling statement, and, of ,0,”-se, it is absolutely untrue. for angrily will always be necessary. it is the command of Christ. and it is the law of life and 96100- witiiout charity, we will make no ulvancee in life. personally, na- -,ionally or lntemationally.

Doubtless. the writer had in mind s different idea of charity and was thinking of it in the limited sense 9; providing relief for people in need. Nevertheless. this statement reflects an attitude of mind which 1. common today. It is the idea that science. money and techniques can solve and cure all human

blcms.

It is true that the wonders of modern medicine, the latest scien- uuc discoveries and the advances in techniques of all kinds can as- gm mankind in unlimited ways, but we must never forget that uliarity. as the love of God and peiglrbor, can never be displaced. in fact, it is because we have for- rottcii the true rncaniiig of char- ity as love, and confused it with the idea of distributing money to the needy, that we find ourselves in such a helpless and perplexing ).ii:all0l'l today.

Neither man nor society is a il'.l4ltlllI'l8, and so we cannot treat the human and social problems in a purely. mechanical or monetary wny. Tile problems of life and so- c.(”i' require a human and per- sIl'..ll solution and at the basis of em-y solutionthere must be char- ity. lf charity is buttressedfby the potter of science. there may be progress; but if we rely solely on our material strength, on our scimitlfic discoveries and tech- niques, then we are building on shitting sands. Are we not in this situation today? While we have made great strides in a material way, have we not forgotten that the soul of life is charity? Is not the root sin of today pride, and lmc of sclf. rather than love of neighbor? How else do we account for the tragedies of life and the pr"-valence of war?

We are I. proud people, and proud of our discoveries. Last week we thrilled to see the power which man has now within his grasp in the use of atomic energy, when e. whole continent was brought into visible contact with the United

universe. He is filled with pride now that he can fly faster. than sound; proud of a thousand gui- gets, proud of plastics, radar, tele- vision and electronic machines. But. there is an unessineu in man's pride, for he is beginning to realize it is one thing to make these discoveries and quite another thing to control their uses. The shiny and efficient gadgets may well be the instruments of our de- struction. And so man today finds himself a victim of fear. He can master the secrets of nature but he cannot master his own heart nor the heart of society. . . .

He strives with all his might and with all his gadgets to produce a serene and ordered world, but daily it seems to be further from his grasp. And, we wonder why? Can we not attribute its baneful disorder to the almost extinct sense of charity and fraternity? The world in which we live is cold because it has lost its soul -love of God, and its consequent. love of neighbor. This is the meaning of charity.

As long as we consider charity simply as the distribution of man- ey or food or medical relief, then ouretforts are in vain. For the needs of the poor. the sick. the mentally deficient can well be handled by some organization. But as st. Paul tells us, if we dis- triibute our goods to the poor and have not charity. then our efforts are in vain; they are as nothing. The distribution of medicine or money may well relieve the needs of others, but unless it is the re- sult of a genuine love of others. then nothing is really accom- plished. For nothing has been done to ourselves; we have not pene- trated the iron curtain of our own selfishness and pride. As long as we remain selfish individuals, the world will continue along its de- structive course. A world united is an impossibility if it is composed of self-centred individuals.

Long ago, Aristotle defined man as a social animal. Men and wom- en are not self-sufficien-t; they need society if they are to have I full, rich life economically, poli- tically, scientifically and cultural- ly. But, much deeper than that, they must love their neighbor be- cause of God, and in that way they must share their loves, they must work together.

Wherever you look in the world, there seems to be greed and sel- fishness and fear and cruelty. and the hatred to which these things give rise. But there is one thing, and only one, which is stronger than hatred of God and humanity, and it is love of God and imman- ity. The communists have tried to separate these: they have at- tempted to love humanity without God. We know what has happen- ed. If we love God and humanity -each of us - we can turn the world from the danger of death. As we pause this week to think of the Passion of Christ. let us re- member that the manage from the Cross, from Christ, is CHAR-

MUSICAL FESTIVAL ASSOCIA- TION. OHARLOTTETOWN Dear Sir:

I have been following with in- terest the recent correspoiidencein your column regarding the Con-- cert Programmes and the fact the building selected for this purpose does not now prove large enough due to the increase in entries and the most wonderful response shown by the public in this worthwhile enterprise. I I have,a suggestion which may not prove feasible at all but I have been wondering if the Fri- day evening programme which appears to be most popular could not be given in two halls, the same programme by the same nrt- ists, commencing in one hall say at eight o'clock and at eight- thlrty in the second hall. This of course would mean that each art- ist would have to perform,twicc but I believe this plan would per-

work tremendous hardships on ac- companists who might be needed in two hralls at the same time! Also would the artists be wlling to perform twice?

Let us hear from you please. Music Festival Concert Committee

PareI1is' Day At Noirewilame ,

The teachers and pupils of Grades I, II and i111 of Notre Dame Academy welcomed over a hundred parents to their class rooms on Wednesday afternoon. Thirty-two little girb of Grade I showed their parents how much they had already accomplished in their first year at school. They held a Catechism match, drilled on number combinations, played ”Post Man" as a reading demon- stration, and "lt,Was 1" in a lang- uage lesson, recited choral selec- tions a-nd sang nursery rhymes.

In Grades H and 1711 the pupils

"The unruly wills and affections of sinful men". which God alone can set in order, are the mani- festation of that recklessness of spirit which, in its turn, points to the absence of any strong and steady control of life's onward movement.

The visible course of a. man's life

may or may not be affected; so liar as that is concerned he may abide in one stay. But it is pre-' cisely the lack of change in the external setting, in the daily en- vironment, which may be full of peril for the soul, pressing heav- ily upon it, penetrating deeply within it, overclouding its vision and confusing its judgments. , The safeguard against this dis- orderlrig of the personality a col- lect finds in the transference of tlic soul's attention from itself to God. The word "Thou" is the key- word: "grant unto thy people that they may love the things that thou commandest and desire that which thou dost promise." That is the Very spirit of true religion.

The can proceed only from in two very zestfiul matches, work- ed arithmetic on the blackboard, ,ri'cci-Led and sang. Each class gave a demoiistratioii of physical train- ing in the nearby recreation hall.

After a piano trio, the pupils of Grade IV pointed out and ex- plained land and water forms from a blackboard map which had been designed for the purpose. They nlso gave a practical demonstra- tion of a speech lesson and cori- cluded with short choral selec- tions.

The pupils of Gnade v and VI held a spelling match which was followed by a group of Grade VI pupils giving an interesting de- scription of birds which they had learned about in their nature study. They concluded with inter- mediate gymnastic-; to music. The senior girls of the group 'met each other liii a mental ar- ithmetic match and a grammar quiz, both of which were conduct- ed in such efficient manner that the audience followed with keen interest.
