JDr. Katherine Bregy
Pays Second Visit
To Nazareth
Lectures on :" Chri$tian Re­action
in Recent
Literature"
Nazardh College was again hon·
ored in the ,'e C(l1lt visit of Dr.
Katherine B,·egy. She sounded a
very encoUl'aging now in choosing
as t he topic of her lecture, "The
Christian Reaction in Re<:ent Liter·
ature." I t was indeed sati8fying
to hear from such an authority as
Dr. Bregy that our !)resent·day
world, steeped in modern decadence
of literature, is nevertheless pro­ducing
wriwrs who "want to sho~k
p(lople back into believing the
truth," She illustrated her p<)int
most convincingly by the writings
of a contempora,·y litterateur, M.
Paul Claudel, the present French
ambassador \.Q t he United States.
As a background for hcr subjeet
Mi~s B'"(lgy traced the reactions
throughout literature. Beginning
with t hat time of enormous crea­tiveness,
the thirteenth a::d fou r ­teenth
centuries, sh", summari«ed
the past, concisely stressing in par­ticular
t he Oxford Movement and
Naturalism in literature which is
reflecwd in so many of our so­call",
d popular wriWrs.
The present trend t owards
Christianity in literature is very
IIppa r",nt in the writings of Hilaire
Bellae who refuses to ap ~l ogize fOI"
being a Catholic, the ferocious
Catholic, liS Dr. Bregy calls him,
and of G. K . Cheswrton whose
poetry is pervaded with a "divine
g~iety, " who makes the quest for
truth very exciting and writes fa_
miliarly about "the great thrilling
romance of orthodoxy."
In M. Paul Claudel w'" find crys­ta
llized this wndency to bring back
the religious drama. He is at the
same time an eminent statesman
and one of the g"eatest mystic
poe ts of our day. Miss Bregy apt·
ly tenns him "a Gothic model'nist"
because of t he marvelous combina­tion
of old and new which is so
characteristic of his works. He
writes in the f reest of free vc~se,
uses all sorts of modern methods
yet h", dares to preach on the stage.
rn such plays as " L'Anonce Faite
a Marie," which is probably the
greatest modern mil"acle play and
"L'l1otage" he pl"esents to t h",
skepticism and satiety of the mod·
ern mind the infinite beauty and
truth of religion. He makea his
spiritual message so tremendously
alive and convincing that he has
become an enormoua Catholic force
in lit",t·ature.
To thoS(l of us for whom the
nam", Claudel had only a political
significance, Mi ~s Bregy presented
Claudel, the man of letten. The
exquisite fragments of his plays

22, from 4 until 4 :30
G'clock. On this occasion a sacred

of the Vatican Choir. This
is one of th'" few of his composi­tions

Sodality Welcomes
v New Members
Recepti on, December 7
On the eve of th", Feast of the
Immaculaw Conception several of
t he studenh were received into Our.
Lady' .. Sodality. Before celebrat­ing
the f",ast of th", Bl",sS(ld Virgin
upon which we honor her as the
fulfillment of God's promise to the
se\"lIent: "I will put enmities be­tween
thee and the woman,," the
new membel's were accepted into
the Sodality in order that Naza·
reth College might rejoice whole_
heartedly aa it offered its praises
to her who was "lull of grace"
and "blessed among women."
The eighth of December is a
feast of special devotion for the
new members each year, but to the
form"'f members, it is especially
sacred as the plltronal feast of the
Sodality of the Children of Mar y.
Stronger, perhaps, on this than on
IIny other feast of Our Lady is our
sensible fe<l\ing of the prowction
she gives her sodalist whose h",av_
enly directress she is.

P eace
Ch~istmas is the Feast of the Prince of Peace;
of 111m Who two thousand yeau ago became man
to bring into the world, in the glorious wOI'ds of the
angels' hymn of exultation, "peace on earth, good­will
to men."
" P~ace on earth!" The world into which Jesus
Christ came was resti"ng in the ~hadciw of a false
peace. The "pax Romana" wu but' a name given
to the condition of passive submlUion imposed by
Rome, the conqueror, upon her lIubjeeu. Under the
outward semblances of peace that Caeaar Augustus
had effected, a spirit:'"of brooding un~lIt, of troubled
doubta and fears, prevailed. The heavy hand of
Rome had Jailed to quiet the pube of a luxury­fevered,
pleasu~-sated world, 'eonscioull of the dis­ease
that was eating its life away, and despairing.
I nto auch a world 'Christ came to smile His golden
IImile of peace, that was to dispel dark doubts and
supersti t ions, to replace shallow pagan philosophies
with the philosophy of charity, to overthrow degrad­ing
and decadent pagan religions and (ound in their
atead a religiQn vibrant with Life "even unto the
consummatiQn of the world."
But men have turned their faeu from their Savior
and attempted to frustrate His miNion of bringing
peace to all nations. Blinded by their own intellects
they have refused to accept Hi ~ counsels. They
have taken up arms against each other, mocking
His philo.llOphy of brotherly love. Tn many ways
they have reverted to paganism, even defying and
attacking the Visible Body of llim who raised them
out of its horrible depths.
Univerllal peace has not bei:!n I·ealiT-ed. Nations
s till wal' against each other, refuaing to admit the
wi8dom of peaceful arbitration. The efforts of lead­ing
powe" in the world to come to IIOme really
satiafactory decision about disarmament have met
with small success. Many peace conferences have
convened since the clO$e of the aoc:alled "war to
end aU wars."
In the lut peace conference held at Geneva, it
was definitely decided that war should be outlawed
among civilized nations. Whether or not this tru!ans
t hat there will never be another wflr ia a matter of
conjecture. Those acquainted with affairs of inter_
national di plQmacy know what difficulties still con­front
world peace, what deep.rooted hostility exists,
though concealed, between some countries. Secre­tary
Stimson, head of the Department of State in
THE GLEANER
our own United States, says that he has, through
experience in diplomatic affairs, become acquainted
with the opinion of other nations in the world that
our Latin-AmeriCfln neighbors are actually hostile
towards us. They believe, according to the Secre­tary
of State, that t he countriell of Central and
South America fear the United States' imperialistic
policy. This is but an example of the distrust be­tween
nations.
Indeed, it would seem that the P rince of Peace
has been feebly welcomed in the world He came to
save. It ahould be our prayer this Chri$tmu time
that He may again take birth in the heart. that
have cast Him out.
H. H .. '34.
The Spirit of Christmas
By the light of the starB the Infant Saviour
reached earth. The fathomless simplicity of His
coming no one can compass. "He came unto His
own; and His own received Him nQt." Since that
wondrous birth, man has sought to compensate his
laxity. Ench Chdstmas Eve a lighted candle placed
at the window bids' the Infant Jesus welcome. On
thia Chl"islma~ let the candlelight and , tal'shine
lead the Infant King to waiting heartll, wise yet
humble in their anticipation.
In the amalllling of wealth and power the world
hall dillCarded the true significance of Chri,tmall, in
the same manner that Hermall in Henry Van Dyke's
"The Lost Word" bartered the word, God, for tem­poral
po!U!e1lsion.. Its .sacred character hall been
commercia1i:red. Now, as the wQrld IItrains under
the existing chastisement, it turns to Him, Whom
it has ignored, in awkward supplication. 0 world!
in your considerate treatment of those Ie» fortunate
rests your hOlle of mercy and pardon. And ns you
relieve the sulfering and want at thill Christmas
season these words of J amea Russell Lowell must
inform your heart:
"Not whllt "WII /live but "MI1ui! WII .Iui .......
PI)" th" /lift witMllt the /liver is bare.
1I' 1w /livn Aimsdf loith his alms fetd. three,
Hill1t1d/, hi. hun/l'lI nei/lhbor, and Me."
:Mary Dixon Thayer gives UII a beautifully poetic
interpretation of the birth of Christ in her "Proem."
It is breath!eu in ills exultation. What the world
needs is more Inspiration and less realism. Accom­pany
your charity with words of cheer and hope.
In thi!! way you will be helping mankind regain
consciousnelll of the true spirit of the Feast of
Christmas.

The Quarterly .;

of this college, is just off the press. The mafe"atine
is indeed a tredit to the staff member. and faculty
advisers who expended great effort in it.. initial
publciation.
Veri/II Fair is dedicated to Saint Teresa of Avila,
and includes editorials, short stories, essaYIl. poems,
and book reviews in its contents. Judging from the
representation we find in this issue Nazareth Col­lege
may well be proud of the literature which her
st udents are ])roducing. We believe that the high
aim of the magazine explained by the editor in this
issue will be realized.
Thll Glrnlle,· congratulates Veritll Fair on its firlt
attractive appearance.
CathQlicll the world over are thrilled by the recent
news that IIfty Church Qf England clergymen have
!!igned a statement declaring that Chrillt elltab1ished
one Church, the Roman Catholic Church whoae
visible head is the Pope. They advocate the return
"en masr.e" of the Anglican Church to Rome. It is
heartening for us to learn that Holy Mother Church
has resumed her rightful place in the hearts of
some of her truant childnm.

"THE PAGEANT OF LIFE"
Owen Franci. Dudley
"Pageant of Life" is the fourth
of II serin of notable books, con­ceived
in an independently origi­nal
manner. They are thu~ des­cribed
by the author: "The first,
'Will Men Be Like Gods?' is an
answer to the alanderen of reo
19ion; the second, 'The Shadow
On the Earth,' to the slande rer~
of God; the third, 'The Masterful
Monk,' to the presen t attack upon
mlln and his moral nature
launched by those who would de­grade
him to:i the level of an
animlli. In 'Tbe Pageant of Life,'
I have endeavored to prc$cnt, in
addit:on to the human intere!!t of
the happening3 related, an anti_
thesis to that modern cowardic\'
wh:eh manifests ibcIC in the voguc
ror the vague and t he non-com­mittlll;
the convenient dileUIIllti.im
which questions everyth:ng, holds
nothing, and funks the hard fact!!
of life."
"The Masterful Monk" is in thil;
newer volume, "Pageant of L£fe."
He is not yet the Monk but he is
the $ame masterful perton. "Pag­ellnt
of Life" is primarily tbe
story of Cyril Rodney. In his
book the author insert, a · notc
sayi~g: "I am not writing, strictly,
a biography of Cyril Rodney. I
am relating certain incidenu in
hh life. Those incidents arc
what I require for my purpose,
and alone are vital to the task I
have undertaken-the disclosure
of "n absorbingly lovable, diffi_
cult Dnd pDthetic character, a
mystery not often held in a human
sou\. My task is difficult because
Cyril Il.odney i$ dilticult. I have
never known a peuonality quite
110 baffling; 50 hidden by rese~ve
and yet so strangely attractIve
and compelling; so human and yet
80 alone."
Tbe mystery · that was in Cyril
went back to biB boyhood. It
Showed ihelf in D violent ob3e~
! lon, whereby he would lose con­trol
of himself in the pre!!ence of
a crucifix. Thornton knew thiil
and marveled ; June Camp:on,
whom Cyril loved, also had ex­perience
of it, but could no~ un_
der$tand it until she suffered the
grelLb agony of life. Thtough her
ILnd Thorllton, the · myt tery that
was an obsession and against
which Cyril fought, was explained,
but then grew into a greater
mystery. Cyril a<:<:epted the des­t:
ny that was foreshadowed to
him a! a boy. He went to meet
it, whatever it was, ILnd Thornton
wlllJ with -him. It happened through
the hnnds of a band of ll.ed iS on
lhe Soviet border. It was the

The word orchestra 1$ of Greek
origin and designates a ~rpor~te
body of players upon varIOus in­struments
ruled and directed by a
conductor. The modern orchestra
is usually termed "Symphony 01'­chestra,"
hecause Its chief func-

tion i8 to play symphonic music.
The orchestra of today, general­ly
consisting of {rom sixty to one
hundred players, is divided accord­ing
to the charactel' of the instru­ments
which compose it, into four
divisions; the "Strings," the
"Woodwinds," the " BraIlllCS," and
the "PercuSllion" or "Batt.ery." In
the first group we have tbe first
and second violins, the vIolas, the
violincellos and the bau viols. The
"Strings" >U'f! the most impol·tant
instruments in the orehestra Ilnd
therefore given the moat promi­nent
lllace in tbe aeating of the
playerll. The fint vioHns are on
the left of the conductor; their
leader, who is known as the "con·
cert-mast.er" occupies the first
place on the outside row. On the
right of the conductor are the sec­ond
violins and next to them to­ward
the center al'e the violas.
Dil'eCtly opposite the violas on the
left a.re the violincellos and back
of these are the hau viols.
The "Woodwinds" eon,ist of the
flut.es, the piccolo, c\arineta, oboes
(English horn$) and the haSllOOllS.
These in$truments occupy the
whole cenler of the orchestra, the
flu tes occupying the front row; the
oboes and clarinets, the row be­hind;
the bassoon ~, the next.
The "Brasses" comprising the
trumpeu, trombones, French
horns and tuba !lank the right
center of the orchestra. The " Per­cuuion'
instrumenta are the tym­pani,
the side drum, the kettle­drum,
cymbals and tl'iangle, and
these occupy the middle center di­rectly
Ollposile the conductol'. In
this group miscellaneous and toy
instrumenta are oftentimes em­ployed
to give "locsl color" or to
produce peculiar effects. Among
such are ca.staneta, tambourines,
the xylophone and chimea.
In a little more than a century
America has become a great field
for the heat music that the world
can alford. This is chiefly due to
four causes; the advances made in
the standard of musical perform­ances,
the establishment of great
and thoroughly equipped mU$ic
schools, the creation of Il group of
native composers and the evolu­tion
of a good system of public­SChool
training in vocal music.
A ~ New York was the pioneer in
the operatic field in America, Bos­ton
was the pioneer in the orches­tral
field, and the highest orches­tral
standard America ever at­tained
has been achieved by the
Boaton Symphony Orchestra which
was organized in 1881. Among

Mission Notes
The Christmas season seems to
claim a great l)IIrt of our mission­ary
activity. Each class has its
own particular project. This work
involves the collecting of clothes,
toys, books, candies, etc. In the
earrying out of this bit of holiday
s pirit, each student that le~ds sup­port
to the success of the work is
not only helping her s~hool mission
unit but is engaging in a commun­ity
enterprise. Already, thankB to
some very earoest workers, many
clothes have been given to the city
charitics. A grest part of the art_
icles will also be given to local
charity and the remainder will be
sent to the Indian missions in the
West. • • •

and dfJlight, paced back and forth .
It was but a tiny corner of toy·

joy it! And how mothers and fath­ers
enjoyed their children's enjoy­ment!
There was an immense conrast
in the allpearance and manner of

The desire to handle the soldiers
and work the drawbridge proved
irresistible, even when they were
admonished by an older sister or
brother or a clerk not to touch the
things. It was pathfJtic to see
some of them handling t he toys
with such great love, making it
!!vidfJnt that they felt sure Santa
Claus could not visit their homes
this Christma!!, so they muat feast
their eyes with the sight of the
store toys and chel' ish them in their
memory. Others seemed to be there
to use the toys for their own amuse·
mfJnt without a thought of the de·
struction they might cause. They
passed f rom one object to another,
and touched everything with a by
no means gentle hand. Little boys
on crutches, several with their
al'ms in slings and one little girl
who had lost part of her arm pass·
ed by and forgot their t roubles and
pains in the blissful maw of Santa
Claus' shop.
Toys are liffJ, fOI' children. They
represent and recall their happy
moments, their tearful moments,
and are always a solace in pain or
grief. When grown-ups misundfJr·
s tand t hem, they go.to their toys
for comfort and sympathy, since
their imagination vivifies their
playthings. A toyless childhood is
unimaginable, for even the poorest
child has some block of wood 01'
some little thing which is a cher­ished
toy to him.

Sure enough, the IIhrill l~ttle

they succeeded in letting the chil­dren

doors were immediately opened.
It seemed t hat thieves had It­tempted
to enter the building and
the children had thought of this
strange way of fTightening them
off. The Sisters were not any too

Christ the King
" Pilate therefore laid \0 him;
Art thou a king then? Jesus
answered: 'Thou sayest that I am
a king. For t his was I born and
for this came I Into the world that
I should give telltimony \0 the
truth. Everyone t hat is of the
truth heareth my voice'."- J ohn,
XVIIi,37. .
Pope Pius XI, to increase devo­tion
to Chr ist as King instituted
a new feast, celebrated fo r the
firat time in 1926, and to be cele·
brated thereafter on the last Sun·
day of October. He chose this date
because it is near the end of the
liturgical year, and he feels that
we can not close the year more
fittingly than by public avowal of
the kingship of Chriat. Then, too,
it takes place before t he feallt of
All Saints, so that wa shall cele·
brate the glory of Christ before
the glory of all the saints in whom
He triumphs.
For Christ the King indeed
reigns in the mind of mlln, in the
will of man and in the heart of
man' in the mind because He is
Truth, in the will because in Him
there is compliance of the human
with the holiness of the divine will,
and in the heart because of His
charity, meekneu and btlgnignity.
As King, He po8SelSes t he three·
fold power of a I'uler, legislative,
executive and j udicial. In his en·
cyclical on establishing this feast,
Pope Pius has given us Scriptural
evidence of Christ'll hllving these
powers. Christ tells UII that His
Kingdom is not of thill world, but
is one which shall have no end.
He. the P rince of Peace. III King of
our souls. By the yearly venera­tion
of Christ the King, rulera and
people will btl reminded of His love
for UII and of Hill judicial power,
by which He will ultimately aboli!h
all injustice. It is the hope of the
Holy Father that this will gain
(or us the benefits of peace, har·
mony and unity.
