Noted English Lecturers
Pay Visit to Nazareth
The second and third in a ser ies
of lectures scheduled at NaUireth
College for the year 1932·'33 were
given on ThuudllY and Friday,
October 27 and 28. The lecturers
were Mr. Francis J. Shead, master
of the Catholic Evidence Guild of
London, and secretllry of the Cath­olic
Institute of Higher Studies,
and his wife, the daughter of Wil­frid
Ward, noted English journ­alist.
On Thursday afternoon, Mr.
Sheed, before an audience of fac­ulty
members, sludentB and friend!!
of Nazareth College, diseussed the
work done in England by the Cath­olic
Evidence Guild, whose purpose
is to make the world of unbelievers
see Catholic doctrine.
The Guild began fourteen yearll
ago and now has at its command
600 trained speakers, 400 men and
200 women, to propagate the teach_
ingll of the Catholic Church. The
a rt of "Street Corner Speaking"
was described in full by lIfr. Sheed.
He said; "Never preach ; a!wllYs
teach." The purpose of the
spellker is nOl to provoke contro­versy,
but only to tell his audience
of the truth. "Because religion,"
1I1r. Sheed continued, "can tell
them something lbout lire and
the meaning of suffering, the effect
is eLectric. One can invariably
catch the interellt of the crowd by
talking of one of the a!!Cetics or
t he BeatifIc: Vision."
The speakers are well trained
before t hey aN! allowed to addreu
a gathering. The Guildsmen must
never La.e their temper while under
fire from the erowd: they must
speak simply Ind clearly snd be
ready to cope with any heekling on
the subjeet they Ire presenting.
Previous knowledge is not Ib$O­lutely
nece~sary, and t heir candi­dales
come from all cla!JJlea. The
work the Guild il doing ill tremen­dOUB

to the lower claB8es whom the radio

THE GLEANER
Mission Day Observed
V by Students of
Nazareth
The keynote sounded on Sun·
dsy, October 23. throughout the
Rochester Diocese, was concern·
ing the i\liuions at home and
sbrolld. At the Cathedral, garbed
in the traditional Clip lI:ld gown
of 8cholastic cndeavor. thirty­e'ght
members of Nllza"cth Col.
lege re l)l'e~ented the Miuion Ulllt.
one of the most active socicl:es
in the school. A section hud been
reserved for them in a prominent
part of the Church.
For mllny years the e!for13 of
the MiS!lion Unit have been pro·
ductive of much materi"l and
spiritual aid for the miuions.
Yearly the society malll out ita
ca mpaign of inculcating, into all
the members of the undergradu.
ate body of Nazareth, a love and
a 2.eal to assist the chosen AP03tleJ
of God in bringing souls into the
fold. Mllny schemeJ are brought
:nto play and e:lch is a credit to
the ingenuity of this loyal g:·oup.
Reverend John Randall crystal.
ii!ed this sentiment in his sermon
on Mission Sunday. From his iii'"
issued again the stirring command
given by our Saviour to the chosen
few, "Go and te:!.ch ye all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father. and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost." For twenty
minutea ~'ather Randall entranced
his audience a$ he showed them
that they too had been implicitly
included in this mandate. R",fer­ring
to a recent encyclical of thO!
Holy Father \',h:ch urged the
lIetive participation of the laity
in the Apostolic r.lis.~ion, Father
Randall demonstrated conclusively
that the best and most propitious
way of obeying this injunction was
to lend lIid to fostering and fur.
thering the Missions.
Following through, Father Ran·
dall cited in how many ways a
concerted effort on the part of a
group of individuals rellulted ill
achievements that are almoJt in­credible.
The mite given by the
child, the larger amount eon·
tributed by the adult. each in
itself olno great value; but taken
together a cumulative total. con.
stitute a force which, when set in
motion, is capable of re~ults in_
conceivable to the human mind.
Thus, re<:ognizing clearly the
duty incumbent on each and every
one of us, we must turn all our
efforts to the path marked out by
our s peci fiC station in life, atrain·
ing a bit, perhaps, but thereby
reaping the grenter reward.

SHEEDS LECTl;RE
(Cont'nued from page one)
were Catholics who were making II
grand profeSllio li of faith.
The lIubjeet which Mrs. Sheed
ehose for her lecture on Friday
was '''The Oxford Movement." She
diacusscd the background of the
movement when England wu def·
initely a protestant country. and
the parts played in it by Newman,
Keble and W. G. Ward, her own
grandfather, who is famous for his
" Ideal of a Christian Church."
It would be impossible, in the
opinion of lIlr s. Sheed, to have sllch
a movement today in the Church
of England. Now there could be
no corporate union, 5incc there is
no longer a "corpus". No group
movement is possible in the Church
of England. because there is no
group representative of common
sentiment. In addition to this, the
Cxford of the [lre5(lnt is far differ­ent
from the OXford of Newman's
day. Since these conditions prevail
in England, we find a number of
Catholics vitally interested In
bringing to the innumel'able, dis·
united protelltant sects and masses
of unbelievers, knowledge of the
Catholic religion. Mrs. Sheed'.
last inspiring words to us were:
"This age does belong to the
Church. It is up to us to reap the
ha,·vest."
Both MI'. and Mrs. Sheed are
charmingly English. It wa5 a real
delight for-UII to listen to their in.
teresting lectures. We said good·
bye to them with regret.

Students Make
v Annual Retreat
Wilford Parsona, S. J. Is
Retreat Ma. ter
Into the dusky corridors: out on
the quiet field: over the 5ilent
"'oOOs; peace like a bleuing stole
clo5ing the dl'OOping flowers for
their winter's ,·ut. Hushing our
laughter she bade II' be s till. From
the first moment of the three beau­tiful
October day. which were
given over to our Retreat the long·
ings of our $Ouls weN! directed,
under the guidance of Father Wil.
frid Pars.ollS, S.J., toward5 God,
and all t hing. else became but
meanl! of attaining our end. In
the wild rushing, aimle5s seeking
and divergent teaching of the world
we found the fiut and perhaps the
greatest obstacle which we must
ove~ollle. In conquering this im·
pediment to our progress towards
God we found the purpose of OUr
years of Catholic training- the
unification of our ideals and the
IImalgamation of OUI' thoughts.
In Our Lord and His Mother we
saw the supreme examples of that
simplicity of life which leads to
purity of conscience. A. the reo
ward for making Him the Central
Figure of our livea, Christ offers
::IS ~me of H i~ choicest gifts, peace,
deSIred by all from peasant to
King and poue.sed only by those
who have made themselves worthy
to posse5S Christ Himself.
The beauty, the glory, the immu_
tability of our religion took on
a new grandeur when we found it
once sgain to be, not a shadow of
its Founder, but our Lord Himself,
present and with u.. In the fact
that Christ came to dwell lImonJlllt
us and to remain with U8 until the
end of time is the very meaning
()f and reason for our religion. And
yet there are few Catholics who all'
pre-eiate the magnificence of this
divine gift.

mer School of Catholic Act:on
conducted in St. Loui1, August,
1932, by Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S
J, and the Catholic Ev:dence
Guild Conference held in New
York recently. At the Summer
School, youth of America were
splendidly trained to IInswer to
the Pope's call for Catholic Ac­tion
; their slogan, as Father de­fined
it , is " Personal Sanctifica·
tion is Act:ve Catholicity." The
Guild was described as a lay
organiution who!e members di ••
seminate Catholic truth by means
of phamphlets, public spcaking
and Study Clubs.
The program for CalhoHc Ac­lion
in the Roche.ter Di<X'ue was
discussed. It has conducted a
weekly Catholic Radio Hour for
three years; at the present t :me it

The Catholic Press wield3 a
powerfu l influence in spreading
the true doctrine and Father
Mooney requested t he audience to
be mindful that "if Catholic liter­.
ture is to flouris.h t here must be
Catholic readers." "The Catholic
Courier and J ournal," the official
organ of the Diocese needs the
lupport and co-operation of t he
laity of the Rochester Diocese.
A.na l,.. i. of Catholic Education
The afternoon lI(!SBion was opened
by Miss Yawrnan, who introduced
the Rev. J ohn M. Duffy, Diacepn
Superintendent of Schools, to an
sudienee of 800 women. Beginning
THE GLEANER
his addreu on "Catholic Educa­tion,"
Father Duffy lIOunded the
keynote: "Education is religion."
The purpose of education is to
teach "children right thinking and
right living"; the modern Iystems
have covered up the real meaning
of education. In fact, "their pillar
f>f learning is made up of columns
of figure." ; thus the underlying
principle i8 false.
The advantages of Catholic Edu~
cation wen! demonstrated by the
speaker: the Catholic child i8
taught to be broadminded; it is
"taught love and sympathy for all
peoples of all language8." The
Catholic Sy8tem of Education
brings enlightenment to the mind
and cultun! to the heart. The
Catholic School, Father Duffy con­tinued,
is sound pedagogically be­cause
it is founded on truth. The
motto of Pius X, "To re-establish
all things in Christ," must be the
motto of the world today. If the
nation is to be p~rved from de­cay
a nd decline, th~ family mU8t
needs be re-established in Ch rist;
and this can be accomplished only
by the presence of Christian prin­ci
ples in schools, and l or t hat rea­son
therefore, the Catholic Church
maku great sacrifices for the con­tinuation
of the Catholic School
Iystem.
In conclusion, Father Duffy
pleaded with the members of the
Church to uae "force and influence
in behaU ot the Catholic Schools,
so that the Church may dwell by
Faith, Hope and Char ity In the
lives of our children, in the lives of
ou r people, in the homes of our
country."

Council of Catholic Women. Dr.
Nicholson spoke on "The First

gave the delegates renewed impetuB

November Closes
Bicentennial Year
As the widely celebrated Wash­ington
bicentennial year draws to
a close, it ia fitting that we survey
it in its entirety and question its
BueceS!.
Last November the ~'ede l"al gov­ernment
sponsored a campaign
that, throughout the ~ar lollow­ing,
was to make the man Wash.
ington known and loved by the
American people. All over the
United States the pre$S, schools,
and private societies have eo-.<>per­ated
in a manner almost unprece_
dented. Floods of pamphlets cov­ering
every phase of our first
P resident's career have focused a
dea,· light on his life and charac­ter.
Pn~ants and I)lays have col­ored
and vivified our COnCel)t to this
mighty pel"Sonnlity, while contests
and prius have stimulated many
to an earnest study of the Revolu~
tionary Period. In all thelle under­takings
the Catholic schools and
college have played an important
part. In Rocheste,· a lone we have
ample evidence of this throughout
the parochial and high SChools of
the diacellC and we mull not forget
the work of our own Nau.reth
College, which went 110 far as to
entertain George Washington per­lIo
nlilly one afternoon last month.
And what is the result of all this
ado? Has the great energy ex­pended
in public and private enter­prilles
been wasted? Or have we
as a nation been bettered thereby?
On the whole, it can be honestly
claimed that, because of this year's
activities, Washington stands to­day
before his nation, a living,
breathing character; a human be­ing
nobly responding to the high
duties of trying nilles. Leu and
less, have we come to look upon
him as a dim le~nd of past per­fection,
as a historical myth scarce­ly
worthy of credence. More and
more, he has kindled our imagina­tion,
moved us to admi ration and
to emulation, indeed taken his
rightful place in our heart beside
the great men of our time. Let
us hope that t he result of this
change in our attitude wi!! be in­calculable
and far-reaching. Let
us hope it will refire our ideals of
citi:renship with the fine, old flame
of patriotism. The profound in·
f1uence of such a high-minded ex­emplar
wi!! only fully be apPNl'
ciated when the coming genera­tion
shall have taken the reins of
government and 80Ciety into i1:$
hands. t n t he meantime, our Cath­olic
schools can well be proud of
the spirited part they have taken
in furthe ring this cause.

JUNIORS CHOOSE
SACRED HEART
AS PATRON
On Friday, November 4, the
Junior class ehoBC the Sacred
Heart for its patron during the
coming year. It was most fitting
that t his dedication to the Sacred
Heart should take place on the
First Friday ot the month, the day
which, of all days, ill dear to the
Heart of Jesus.
Friday morning the class heard
Mus and received Holy Commun­ion
in the College Chapel. At noon
all the J uniors asllembled in the
Chapel where a prayer to the
Sacred Heart, written for t he oc­cuion
by Harriet Hoock, was then
read. In this prayer, the Juniors
dedicated all the coming events of
the year to the Divine protection
and inspiration of the Sacred
lieart, and asked for His guidance
in every undertaking.

Study Club Meets
"The Geneva Conference" waa
the general topic which was dis
cuased when the Study Club of
Nau.N:!th College held ita Novem
ber meeting. Since this confer
ence was of such vast importanee
inasmuch as it had an effect on
the whole world, all the topicll
which were brought forward for
general di.scuuion were most in
teresting.
Miu Eleanor Heieck spoke on
"The League as a Confederation.'
SecN:!tary StimllOn's views on world
peace were summarired by Miu
Harriet Hoock. "The Theory of
an International Society" was the
t itle of t he paper read by Min
Dorothy Schifferli.
From Our work in the Study Club
we are coming to see that when
the world fully realizes the signif
iunce of peace and of the " Prince
of Peace" and enthrone-. Him in all
nations, then shall the "gates of
the temple of J anus" be dosed for
ever.

The fall of.every election year finds excitement
running high in the world of politics. This year
has been no exception. Political lIentiment has
been actively demonstrated since the latter part of
the summer, with both major parties striving to
gain ascendency over the other.
Campaigning has been widespread, and although
the popular enthusiasm evidenced this year did not
equal that of the 1928 elections, there Can be no
doubt, {rom a survey of the lllst few months, that
Americans lire still politically·minded. Excitement
has been especially intense because of the economic
crisis through which the country is passing. The
Republican candidate with a term of office already
passed amid the problems of financial depression,
appenled to the measures taken by hi~ administra­tion
to relieve conditions. On the other hnnd, the
Democratic candidate pointed to his management
of affair3 as governor of the Empire State and to
the ~0l uti on8 he proposed for the mistakes of the
present party in power.
The campaigning of 1932 was unusual in that it
found many former staunch members of the
Republican party enlisted under Democratic stand­ards.
Prohibition and the Tariff were again the
larger issues. Alfred E. Smith, Democratic candi_
date of 1928. renewed his popularity by frequent
speeches, and recalled to the American mind the
eventful campaign of four years ago,
Campnign speeches were interesting this year,
Those of us who have a liking for oratory found
them especially so. Accusation and defense were
pittted against ellch other in such a way as to
afford the listener many revealing sidelightl on the
campaign technique of both parties, One of the
most stin'ing speakers in Western New York was
Senator Robert F, Wagner, a man who really has
the welfare of the nation at heart, whose proposals
for the relief of suffering in our country seem
ab~olutely sound-llincere pleas spr;ng;ng hom a
deep feeling and sympathy for his countrymen.
Senator Wagner, in one of his campaign
speeches, referred to an entry in the diary of 11
man unable to find work . The few tragic lines
read; "Stayed at home today eating my heart out.
The ta~te of heart is bitter." It is our s;ncere hope
that the successful party will make good its p"e­election
promises to attempt to still th!s cry echoed
by so many millions of American people.

THE GLEANER
Armistice Day
Fourteen years ago, QUI' soldiers were informed
that the war was ever; host ilitiell were to cease.
The news was received in different ways. Some
shouted their joy, others uttered a thankful "Lau­date
Dominum," and still others, dulled by the awful
pounding and thundering of the guns, only gazed
blankly, not comprehending the meaning of the
words, The nation at home went wild with joy
and relief. No ovation was too great, nothing was
too good for our boys who, by their valiant efforts,
had stopped the drives of the enemy, conquered
them. and thus b"ought peace, Peace, a blessed
word after all the horrors and grief of war, the
war that wa~ to end all wars, so that this peace
should be a lasting peace!
But the passing years have found this peace
increasingly difficult to maintain. It has been
broken, it is true, from time to time, but the whole
world has not yet been engaged in another war.
Peace advocates have been doing their best to fur­ther
their cause thwugh the League and the various
confercnces at Geneva. We hope that some method
wi!! be found to imbue every individual, every nation
with the ideal of maintaining peace, even though it
entails sacrifice, provided it be an honorable sacrificc;
that some day the g"eat blessing of international
peace may crown all the go.od that has already come
from the armistice,

A Fren ch Li tterate ur Pa sses
A certain sadness affects the soul in recording
the death of a figure at once admired and loved.
Rene Bazin Will a writter whose works were per­meated
with a Catholic simplicity, with a trusting
faith in the nearness and kindness of God; we are
as sute liS mortal beings can be that the soul of
the famous writer reached its destined abode of
p~ace and joy. Nevertheless, that which i3 human
in us must mourn that one more of our number
hill cros,ed the lonely portals of death . . We can't
quite reconcile ourselves to the t hought of casting
off all that is earthly, of leaving time and space
and everything material for the cold void of the
unknown,
Rene Bazin was an artist whose style had ele­gancy
coupled with a chaste simplicity You would,
however, find no hint of the precioul or decadent
in his writ:ng, Rather, he had a little of Thoreau
' tl him . He loved nature, sunshine, woods and
homely occupationll; he spent the gl'eater part of
his life in a rustic retirement. His sou! was tuned
to a nature that was bleak and rocky, and pun­gently
aromatic of pine. His finest work:; are th03e
in which peasant characters are delineated against
the rugged outlines of provincial !"fe. He treated
current socia! problems, such as the abandonment
oi farm life for the cities, in "Donat'enne," or the
'1bu"es of French trade unions, in "Le Ble qui leve."
In the "Magnificat" especially, there is a Catholic
t(lne which has that naturalness, that sweet a!lSur­ance
which we find in medieval works wherein re­ligion
wa3 as the mainspring of life, v;v;fying and
freshening,
"It is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray
for the dead, that they may be !oo.ed from their
sins," says the Scripture. It is fitting, too, to
chronicle t he death of a man who 'e l' fe was so
harmonious a blend of the spiritual and the
material; a Catholic who did not cloister himself
.Iga!nst the world, nor yet allow the world to snatch
away any portion of his birthright Rene Bazin
was a man such as the ancient Roman , would have
loved a nd venerated for his "pietas"; let us then
enerate h'm becau~e pietas for him was ennobled
and glorilled by the white light of Catholicism,

CRITIC
"ScriptQrium"
College of St. Scholastica,
Duluth, Minnesota.
Under the column entitled,
"Sotto Voice," we learned that
"the wearing of the academ:c cap

We Seniors, who don the academic

New Rochelle, N, Y.
There was" splendid review of
"Cyrano de Bergel'ac" in the first

us who were fortunate enough to
see Walter Hampden give his
superb and inimitable perform­ance
in Hochester recently, will
agree with the following {Iuota­tion;
"The silent curtain has long
since fallen between us and this
vivid scene, but Walter Hampden
has succeeded in leav;ng with us
a lasting memory of an adventure
whose ve ry beauty would bring
tears to the eyes should the ex­quisite
sadness fai\."
In an editorial, "The Three­"'
old Plan," moral, intellectual
and soc i a I advancement are
stres. ed as the duty of every col­lege
student. "However, if your
purpose in coming to college was
not to make of yourself, "a Per­fect

then may we say not too softly­"
Sorry, but you're in the wrong

Sharp, piercing chill of t he flut
frigid blast of early winter. Still,
frosty air of November, clear and
cold. The time was not a salubrI­ous
nor a cherful one in New
England, yct everywhere there
were signs of festivity. and every
countenance was alight with a
urene joy, a new hope. Men in
heavy jerkins. solid boot!:!, and

Annual Retreat
(Continued from page two)
Although we learned that ·'He
will be silent in Hia Love," we
soon found that our Lord through
the Holy Father i8 asking us to
forego to a certain extent the
pleasure. to be derived from obey·
ing the admonition in Isaias, "Sit
thou .ilent" for our Apostolate
must be one of action. In Catholic
Action is expressed the will of the
mystical Body of Christ. We were
warned by Fat her Parsons that so
fn Catholics have been hindered
in taking up the work of the lay
apostolate by "compartmental
mind," as he aptly called that state
of mind In which a Catholic is who
does not t ranslate his philosophy
into life and action. It is the voca­tion
of every Catholic College girl
to take an interest in and help w
perpetuate Catholic action.

-John DI'IIde1l.
There seems to be little doubt
that Saint Cecelia really lived, but
the facts of her life are 110 over ·
laid with marvelous tales, that it
is impollSible to tell the true from
the false. In the "Second Nonnes
Tales," Chaucer gives us the legend
as it i. oftene~t found. The gen·
erally accepted sto,·y is aR follows :
She i, believed to have lived in
the third century, during the reign
of Emperor Alexander Severus.
Of noble Roman birth, she had
been brought up from her infllncy
in the faith of her parenti. who
were devout Christians at heart.
She was remarkable ' for her holi·
ness, and compoaed hymns of such
wonderful sweetness that the an·
geil came down from heaven to
listen when she u ng. Although
she played upon ,II inUrumen18,
none seemed w express the reo
ligious harmony in her soul, so she
invented the organ and dedicated
it to the service of the Church.
When ve ry young, she had made
a vow oC celibacy, wishing to devote
her life and voice to the glory of
God. Therefore, when at the a~
of sixteen her parenti gave her in
marriage to a young nobleman, a
pagan named Valerian. she wore
beneath her bridal dress a coarse
penitential robe, and prayed Heav­en
to hel p her keep her pledge.
Through her eloquence, she per_
suaded her husband to respect her
vow. and also converted him to
Ch ristianity. She sent Valerian to
St. Urban to be baptit.ed. On his
return he heard celestial music, and
beheld an angel in her ,·oom, bear_
ing two crowns of red and white
r oaes, gathered in Paradise, and
so invisi ble to unbelievers, bul im·
perishable in their freshnesa and
fragrance. These wreaths he placed
upon the brows of St. Cecelill lind
Valerian, and g ranted thei r prayer
that Tibertiua, Valerian's brother,
should be converted also.
These three then went about
among the persecuted Christians,
helping t hem in every way possi­ble,
and making many converla, un·
