One reason wisdom is so un

of common sense.

To certain members of Con
gress—
“Honorable” Sirs:
After reading the proclama
tion of Ernest Gruening, Gover
nor of Alaska, urging all people
of Alaska to observe Constitu
tion Day on September 17, I
looked up a certain document to
refresh my memory. It was such
inspiring reading that it should
be called to your attention. We,
the people of Alaska and Hawaii
have reason to believe that you
may not be familiar with this
document which reads as fol
lows:
“We, the people of the United
States, in order to form a more
perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, pro
vide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare,
and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our pos
terity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United
States of America.”
It should not be necessary to
analyze the Preamble to the
American Constitution. Any man
who has reached the estate of
Senator Butler and Senator
Schoeppel must, if he will read
it again, see as we do the im
plications of the document when
compared to the statements and
actions of these two men.
The people of Alaska honor
and revere the Constitution of
the United States and will con
tinue to do so even if we are
denied our rights as Americans
through the efforts of a power
ful minority.

The energy wasted in worry
ing over things that never hap
pen would build a strong bridge
over the chasm that worriers
imagine they have to cross.
People who feel they must
give vent to that squirrel in

Catholic Information
Catholics on Retreat . . .
Every living Catholic is a
member of the Church Militant
—a soldier of Christ, who is
trained to battle continuously
against the world, the flesh,
and the devil. And just as an
army of soldiers finds it profit
able to withdraw now and then
for rest, medical care, and fur
ther training, so an army of
Catholic men withdraw from the
world annually, to come forth
with better spiritual equipment
for the battles of their lives.
Priests, nuns, seminarians and
collegians have their annual
“withdrawals from the world”
—their annual Retreats. So do
many lay women. But it is of
the Closed Retreat for Catholic
laymen that we speak here, for
the movement is growing, by
leaps and bounds.
A Layman’s Closed Retreat is
the gathering together of men
of like mind in a spot closed
off from the world and its dis
tractions, for a period of two
or three days and nights, for
the purpose of fortifying their
faith and gaining those graces
which make a man a better
Christian, a better citizen, a
better father, and a better neigh
bor.
A Retreat includes Confes
sion. Mass, Holy Communion,
Benediction of the Blessed Sac
rament, Stations of the Cross,
prayers, hymns, and inspira
tional talks by the Reverend
Retreat Master; but the two
events that perhaps impress
the Retreat most indelibly on
the soul are, first, a totally pri
vate visit which each retreatant
makes to his Savior in the Bless
ed Sacrament—just the two of
them there together in the
chapel—and second, the beauti
ful hours of meditation on
wooded paths, o’er rolling hills,
or in the privacy of his room.
Meditations on one’s most inti
mate problems, a sacred inti
macy with one’s Maker, a dec
laration of mutual love — all
private, all uninterrupted. Little
wonder that no man can ade
quately describe a Retreat to
another!
In the United States there are
nearly 70 different Retreat
Houses for men (there are Re
treat Houses for women, too)
at which more than 30.000 Cath
olic laymen, and a goodly num
ber of non-Catholics as well,
gather together for a three-day
Retreat every year. Professional
men and day laborers, old men
and young- men, saints and sin-,
ners, gather together yearly in
the only true Brotherhood of.
Men — brothers of each other,
and of Jesus Christ, under the
common Fatherhood of Al
mighty God. '
Is Christianity failing? Is re
ligion a thing merely for women
and children? Thirty thousand
laymen on Retreat each year!
Let them give the answer!
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!
