Catholic In formation
The church that is never empty
If you had seen the face of a cer
tain man. who was walking de
jectedly down the street, you prob
ably would have said, “Poor fel
low' he is in some grave trouble!”
If you had seen that same face
a few minutes later at the altar
rail of a Catholic Church—a face
whose eyes were glued on the
tabernacle door in the centre of
the altar—whose lips were moving
slowly and silently, you might
have said: “He seems to be—not
just praying—but talking to some
one.”
And if, awhile later, you had
seen that same young man leaving
the church with vigorous step and
with soft, grateful eyes, you might
have actually witnessed the ful
fillment of Christ’s promise: “Come
to me, all you that labor, and are
burdened and I will refresh you”
(Matt. 11:28).
Catholic churches are often
crowded. They may at times con
tain no human beings. But at no
time is a Catholic church empty;
for in that little altar closet, called
the tabernacle, there is always the
Body and Blood, the Soul and Di
vinity of Jesus Christ under the
form of bread.
This is the Personal Presence,
the Real Presence of Him who
died to redeem the world. This is
the Bread of Life, concerning
which Christ said: "He that eateth
this bread shall live forever” (John
6:59). This is the Bread of the '
Last Supper, divinely changed to 1
the Body of the Son of God and ;
offered daily to every Catholic in i
Holy Communion.
This is God, Himself, to revere J
whom the Catholic bends his knee !
j before the altar and doffs his hat 1
before the church door. This is the !
Holy Eucharist which draws from ;
all quarters of the gfobe hundreds
of thousands of pilgrims, for pub- ;
lie acclaim, glorification, and sup- |
plication at the great Eucharistic j
Congresses.
Some time step inside a Catholic
church when no services are being
held. Watch the worshippers. Be j
there but one or one hundred pres
ent, you will notice that each is
individually praying—not as one
prays at home or out in the open
spaces—but more as one converses
with a Great One and a Loved One
who is right there personally pres
ent. If you do this, dear neighbor,
we believe you will have respect
at least for the Catholic’s firm con- \
viction that a Catholic church, even
when deserted by human beings, is
never really empty.
If. it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!

Questions, Answers
On G.l. Ins. Dividend
Beginning soon after the first of
the year the Veterans Administra
tion will pay out $2,800,000,000 in
dividends to some sixteen million
veterans of World War II who took
out National Service Life Insur
ance policies. The following ques
tions and answers are designed to
help eligible veterans in applying
for the dividend:
Q. Who is eligible for a dividend
check?
A. Any veteran who took out
National Sarviee Life Insurance be
fore January 1, 1948, and kept it
for three months or more.
Q. When do the dividend pay
ments begin?
A. Dividend payments will begin
during January, 1950, and be “sub
stantially completed” during the
first half of 1950.
Q. What will be the amount of
my dividend?
A. Amounts will vary depending
on the length of time you paid on
the policy, the amount you paid
and other factors. It is not possible
at this time to give an estimate of
the amounts to be paid.
Q. How do I apply for the divi
dend?
A. Application blanks are avail
able at all postoffices, VA offices
and from veterans service organ
izations.
Q. I do not know my insurance
number. Shall I write the VA for
it so that I may enter it on the ap
plication?
A. No. Do not write the VA in
connection with the application. If
you do not know your insurance
number leave that part of the form
blank.
Q. I used a different name in the
service than I do now. Which name
shall I use on the application
blank?
A. Unless you have notified the
VA of the change, use the exact
name and spelling that you used
in the service. This is important
because your policy records are un
der that name. Use it again when
making application for the divi
dend.
Q. I have two insurance policies.
Shall I fill out two forms?
A. No, one form is all that is re
quired. If you know them, how
ever, enter all your policy numbers
in line 7.
Q. I am not certain that I will
be at my present address next
year. Shall I notify the VA if 1
change my address?
A. No. To the best of your abil
ity, use an address at which mail
will reach you for the next six
months. Notify your postmaster of
any address change. Do not write
the VA.
Q. Must I keep any records of
my application?
A. Yes. When you receive from
thf VA the acknowledgement por
tion of the form, keep it until you
receive jour check.
Q. If 1 do not receive my check
by January 15. 1950. what shall I
do?
A. Delay action until you are in
formed through the newspapers
that you should follow up your ap
plication by letter. Above all, the
VA advises, do not check during
the early months of 1950. Any let
ter writing will only delay the job
of computing and making pay
ment.
An old lady died in a foreign
health resort. Her nephew and
heir ordered the body sent home.
But when the young man opened
the coffin to have one last look at
the remains, he beheld instead of
his beloved aunt, the corpse of a
general in full uniform, the breast
covered with military medals.
The young man wired at once,
receiving in a few hours the fol
lowing answer.
“Give general quiet funeral and
say nothing. Your Aunt Jemima
buried this morning with full mili
tary honors, regimental band and
twenty-one gun salute.”
