Hear 4 Charges Of Religious Discrimination

(By The Canadian Press)

-TORONTO, July 11-Leadeis of 160000.000 Protestant and Ortho- dox Christians today discussed a report charging violation of rellg. ioua freedom in predominantly Roman Catholic and Moslem coun-

tries. -

The central committee of the World Council of Churches, rep. resenting 44 countries. referred the report. to I sub-committee for fur- ther discussion before the central committee's meeting ends Satur-

day. The World Council has no Ro- man Catholic or Moslem represent-

ation. The report. submitted by the Commission of the Churches on

International Affairs after a year's study.-referred specifically to re- ligious conditions in Spain, Italy, Eire. 1901-tugal. the Belgian Congo, Argentina. Colombia, Indonesia and eight countries in the Near and Middle East.

The Commission is an agency of the World Council and of the In- ternational Missionary Council.

The report proposed:

1. Opposition to all practices whereby governments, churches 3: other agencies curb religious freedom.

2. Church representations to governments or to the United Na- tions and to religious authorities in countries where infringement of religious freedom is alleged.

3. A national and international program for "affirmative, prevent- ive and remedial measures for promoting the observance of re- ligious freedom for all men."

Dr. 0. Frederick Nolde, of the Lutheran Theological Seminary, Philadelphia. presented the report and urged that teeth be put in the resolution by formation of- a permanent organization for pro- moting religious liberty. This was referred to a subcommittee to de- termine whether enough money is available.

The report made these specific references:

Spain-"Practically all the offic- ers of the state are Catholic and discrimination against Protestants is apparent in the religious. polit- ical. social and economic life of Spain."

lialy-"The dominance of R0- man Catholicism in Italy has con- tinued reiatively unimpaired over the centuries."

Eire-"in general. religious min- orities. as such: are tolerated and not persecuted in an organized fashion. .1"-lrotesfants do. however. suffer discrimination."

Near and Middle East-"'I'he convert from Islam is generally regarded as a traitor-...1-ie faces the possibility of physical danger. di.-inheritance, separation from family and unemployment."

Earlier today the committee met in closed session to discuss prepa- ration of a statement on the K0- rean war. This was referred to a subcommittee for open discussion later. -

"It would be a disservice to the American people to treat events in Korea with optimism." Tydings told reporters.

"We all should realize the dif- ificulties that confront the notion and the free democratic world, not only in Korea but also in some five or six other areas."

Tydings declined to list these

"Such is precious gift came to this diocese sixty years ago in the person of the venerable jubil- ai-ian around whom we are gath- ered so joyfully at this solemn pontifical Mass of thanksgiving for his long. distinguished and blessed priesthood.

spending Holiday In Native Province

Back home in Prince 'Edward Island for two weeks' vacation is Mr. George Gardiner, in former lslsnder who works on the re- search and development of rockets and aulded missiles at New Mex- W0 State Collette and the White- Iands Proving Grounds in New Mexico, U.S.A.

Acwmnanled by his wife, Mr. Gardiner motored to the Province last week. Mr. Gardiner who was born in Charlottetown. is the son Of the late Mr. and. Mrs. George W. Gardiner, Grafton Street. and

has been in the United States since 1925. Belrond saying that he was ii

men-ifoer of a civilian organization that did work for the Anny. Navy and Air Force, Mr. Gardiner could disclose little. Much of his work pertains to naval development; as be is connected with the firing of rockets at sea.

There are about 90 people work- in: in the laboratory in which he ll employed and there are other numerous labs at the State Col- lege.

This is Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner'a second visit to the Province in two years as they vacationed here last summer. They will ppend up other week at Southport cabins. jg

extra years Of study 'but a few days because of the greatness of his lcve.' He was 27 years old when the blessed day of or-din. ation dawned for him.

Suddenly Stricken

"He had four busy year; pi the Cathedral when he was stricken with what appeared like a fatal collapse of health. He WA; pg;-. suaded to so to California where he was given charge of a little mission dedicated to the Arch. angel Raphael. Whether itwas due tn the miraculous intercession of this great archangel who once Cured Tobias, or simply because the long journey had rested the Young invalid from the exhaustion of overwork and overstudy--which was likely his only trouble, Fa- ther McAulay. within three days shook off the shackles of sickness and California itself. like David casting aside the cumbersome armour of Saul when it interfer- ed with God's work. He returned home completely cured, to spend 9 busy years organizing Moreli parish as its first pastor; another ten years at Hope River-and the past thirty-eight years here. in his native parish. He has worked unceaainzly for the greater glory of God. for the honor and pro- gress of the Church in this dio- case and for the welfare of the flock committed to his pastoral CHIP.

"Truly. by the achievements of his zeal. Monsignor McAulay has been 'a precious gift from God'- But works alone are not suffic- ient. Priestly, conduct implies, above all else, supernatural good- ness, personal holiness, sanctity of life. At the ordination of every priest the Church prays that he may be 'irrepi-oachable inllife and established in grace' so that all may be edifled by his good exam- ple. People generally takc the holiness of a priest for granted; it is only when he slips from holi- ness that publicity is given to it. Every priest. no matter how he strives to be good, knows how far he falls short of the high stand- ard of holiness which his sacred office requires. The web of each man's life is of mingled yarn, good and ill together. .

"We dare not pry into the in- her sanctuary of the soul where God alone sees the great battles for sanctity and perfection must be fought and won by each per- son. himself. cooperating with divine grace. We look simply at the external credentials of holi- ness found in Monsignor McAul- ay's long priesthood; the daily Mass which he has offered for sixty years: the frequent admin- istration of the sacraments; the eloquent preaching of the word of God, Sunday after Sunday, with few intermissiions. All these have been contacts with Divinity itself, the source of all holiness. It was on the feast of Corpus Christi that he was ordained and his whole life, since, has been redolent with devotion to the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. '

An Enduring Monument

"This church stands as a monu- mom to his love for the 'beauty of God's house and the place where the Divine Glory dwelleth'. From the Sacred Heart, too, he learned to practice those priestly virtues of humility. detachment from the lure of earthly things. simplicity in the way of living. No one can accuse Monsignor Mcliulay of ever striving for honors. 01' of serving God with a divided heart. or of storing up for himself treas- ures in this world.

"On the morning of his ordinat- ion, he solemnly pledged 'rever- ence and obedience' to Bishop Mc- Intyre and hid sucessso .. From their heavenly thrones. 31411098 Mclntyre and MacDonald and the two Bishops O'Leary. long since dead, join with Bishop Boyle and myself in proclaiming how faith- fully Mosialgnor McAulay has kept that bond of loyalty, obedience and love. He has seen many changes in this diocese under these bishops and has taken a leading part in everything that has been accomplished for its welfare.

"While he is a' link with the past. he has ever become their dreamy pulses to the disparage- merit of the present. In his green old age he is Just as interested as ever in all that is new in this favored portion of God's kingdom. There is something of perpetual youth about him and it must re- joice his appstolic heart to see the marvellous developments and im- provements achieved in the past six years under Bishop Doyle's glorious and progressive administ- ration. .

thank Him for 't.his precious gift of a holy priest' but to beg an out- pouring of heavenly peace and joy into the hearts of this dear old vet- eran in God's service. Many a time as he read his daily office, he must have lingered in wonderment over those verses of the 72nd psalm which seem almost an epitome of his own life: "Thou hastheld-me by my righthand and by Thy will Thou hast conducted me, and with Thy glory Thou hast received me: for what have I in heaven and be- sides Thee what do I desire llpoll earth: Thou art the God of my heart and the God that is my portion forever-'.

"No doubt he hsd his own share of sorrows which are common to all mankind but he lost no time over them in idle lamentatinns As the years passed with their har- vest of deaths. when he consoled his own dear parishioners in their trials and afflictions or bade a last farewell to cherished friends, or of- fered the Requiem for younger brothers in the priesthood, he only paused the longer at that other invocation of the psalniist: "thou hast taught me, O God from my youth and till now I will declare th wonderful works: Cast me not of in the time of mine old age: when my strength shall fall, for- asks me not, 0 Lord.'

That prayer hns not gone un- answered. Time has dealt gently with him, as if it feared to mar any of his fine mental faculties for their heavenly homegoing. What matters it if his eyes have become a little dim for earthly vision: they now see more clearly those imper- ishabic Joys of heaven. what matters it if his cars are not so keen to earthly sounds as long as they are atuned to the music of celestial choirs where Mary and tho Belnte. where his own deer puente and lowd ones of yore join with us today in lmising end thanking God for sparing to 111 (or- IM7! run.

The resolution in regard to the dumping of rubbish along high- ways again came up for discuss- ion, and it was thought that it was not so much the fault of the rural people. as of the people from the towns and villages. A resolution was worded to the effect that,men and women living tosether out of wedlock have a detrimental effect on children in the home. It was thought that these cases should be investigated by the Children's Aid Society.

A resolution asking that all ap- parently intoxicated persons be given a medical examination be- fore being lodged in the jail was carried.

The immediate establishing of a scholarship for rural girls studying Home Economics was the subject of another resolution, and it was resolved that in order to build the fund up to the neces- sary 510.000. each Institute be uh- ed to contribute twenty-five cents per member. annually.

It was also resolved that thanks be tendered to Mrs. E. E. Morton, other guest speakers, and all those who had contributed in any way to make the Convention such an outstanding success.
