Thoughts For Our Time I

By His Eminence Cardinal Mcfiuigan (Copyright)

THE WORLD AND 'l'1E,l)EVlL

A strange ambiguity besets mod- ern times. We are witness both ,0 g revolt against God and. at least to some extent. a return to God. One aspect of the re- ,,,n against God that is being more and more lost sight of is the place that Satan Pllyl in "-

wg know from Scripture that gum is the father of lies and that he from the besinnlns II a 1,”;-deter, Falslty and violence are the chief attributes which Scrip- lure ascribes to Satan. These two things are only too tragically typical of the present century. Be- .-.;use of our constant wars, we are liable to think that violence is the chief of Satan's manifesta- tions. It is arguable, however. that mmy is more essentially a Satanic device. I p

Today when we are confronted Wm, any problem of the devil, or samn, we find that mankind is di- vided in its opinion about him. On one hand. some are strangely fascinated by this mysterious per- sonality. on the other hand, there is almost total scepticism as to his existence and his influence on the course of human events.

Modern man has acquired a somewhat morbid preoccupation with every species of the abnor- mal and sensational. Our news- papef stm-ies bear witness to this fact. He is in need of ever in- .-rpnging and more vinlcnt stim- uli. For all of his agnnsticism. modern man shows an ever in- creaslng curiosity regarding: the occult which amounts to a degrad- ing and superstitious religiosity. For such the devil cannot help but be accounts for the fascin- ailon that some modcrns show for

Sililill. e e o

At the same time. there is on the other hand an almost total scepticism as to his actual exist- ence. lie is bundled away, dis- carded and forgotten.

Neither of these attitudes is healthy or Christian. Of course. no one believes any more in the demon king. got up in horns and dressed in blazing red. But to- day. the devil's actual working! in the lives of men are account- ed for on purely psychological grounds. Some go so far as to say that men no longer need the help of the devil in order to damn themselves.

What should be the attitude of Christians towards Satan? No one can doubt his cxlstence is declared many times in Scripture. it makes a great deal of differ- ence in our interpretation of many things whether or not we take ser- iously the existence and influence of the devil. Consider our inter-

pretation of history. The whole perspective will change accord- ing as we either give full weight to the texts concerning anti-Christ and the final struggle of the Church agal t the devil. or, to all intents and practical purposes. ignore them. It is a little too easy snd-hasty to say that the problem of evil is the problem of the devil. Man is capable of evil by himself. But if behind the world's evil. there lies a person- ality we must admit that such a fact makes a big difference in the way we think and act. 0 C 0

Although the devil is a personal being, he tries to hide himself he- hind anonymity. His trump card is the belief that he does not ex- ist. We do not have to run into cases of diabolical possession in order to be aware of the influ- ence of the devil. He intervenes in other ways than by direct pos- session. His influence is more powerful in its secret and subtle manifestations than it is in the direct and sensational onslaught of possession. He is the father of lies and probably practices one of his chief dcceits in persuading people that he does not exist.

Of course. it is not the devil who commits. our sins but he does influence us. There is as much danger in over emphasizing the devil as in under estimating him. To attribute to the devil, a de- grce of reality greater than he actually possesses is a mistake. To think that he can take away the spiritual liberty of man is wrong. He can only suggest to men behaviour as a consequence of which evil will appcar' as good. But this he does.

The devil's conqueror is the incarnaie Christ who overcomes him by overcoming sin. To be- licve that the devil does not ex- ist is to do his own work for him. This lapse entails a blind- ness to the ceaseless war between the Church and the forces of evil. It is to be expected that the Church should share in all the aspects of Christ's life on earth. This includes both persecution and the apparent finality of death and it does not exclude the apparent defeat at the hands of Satan, as that of Christ on the cross. But Christ did triumph and the fund-

amental condition of the Christian D

soul should be one of triumph. Triumph in and through tribula- tion -if you will, yet triumph in Christ. but only in Christ. Our warring is not against flesh and blood but against the spirit of darkness. Our triumph is in Him

who is the Truth and the Light.

Bus & Rail Services Reviewed Before Legislative Committee

Ifoilowlng is an extended report of some of the important points made by Mr. Frank A. Gaffney, Chief of Transportstlon Research for the Cansdian National Railways, Mon- heal. in his evidence before the Legislative Transportation Com- mittee hem on Monday:

"Mr. Robinson has presented to you hi Bus Franchise application from the Railways. I think it would be well that ,'I give you a brief outline of the plan in more detail, and that in doing so I place before you all of the facts which lead up to our appearance before yourCom- mlttee. It may be that by so doing it will be possible to clear up any rnisundersi "lugs which may be prevalent as to the position of the Railways in these negotiations.

"I want to any first, and to em- phasise it, that the Railway is not here asking for anything. we are here in response to recommenda- tions which have been made to the Royal Commission on Transporta- tion by thc Government of Prince

Edward Island, and by the associat-

ed Boards of Trade, as well as the va'rious witnesses on behalf of the Government who appeared at the sittings of the Commission.

"In chronological order a propos- al to co-ordinste highway and rail services on Prance Edward Island was placed before Mr. R. C. Vaug- hon, then President. of the Canadian National by Mr. B. Grs.hsm Rogers. Mr. Rogers suggested that the Railways study a plan whereby the Railway -assenger services on Prince Edward Island would be co-ordlnateci with bus services. In a letter. dated December 11th. 1548, Mr. Rogers set out his plan in de- tail. In essence he d:

l. Within Prince Edward Island a sharp reversal of several present rail schedules-even against time worn traditions.

In support of this Mr. Rogers suggested on the Souris, George- town and Murray Harbour runs that I reversal of schedules would serve the people better and save the Railway a lot. of money. That instead of the train leaving Souris in the morning, it should leave Charlottetown in the momlng and be s. mixed train. That passengers could then come to Charlottetown in the momlng by bus in much shorter time than by the existing Railway aohedules. That mall go- ing out on a. morning brain from Charlottetown would mean a 'sav- ing of up to' 24 hours. That the same saving could apply to Express. That passengers ,, in by bus in the morning could then make connections to the Mainland. and on the Mainland with trains for Montreal or Boston. That: the ex- ample mentioned in the foregoing might be advantageously applied to other schedules.

2. That trains Nos. 41 a.nd42 be substituted for their operauon. In support of this. he stated: "These bus schedules would be so arrang- ed that 7 days a week jamengera from one end of Prince Edward Is- land to the other could connect with your Ocean Limited or Boo- tian for Montreal. the Boston Iran from Moncton to days weekly). and the Ocean Limit- ed and section at Baekviue for I-falifax. As explained, this service has been requested by the people of Prince Edward Island for many years, and they are really entitl- ed to it. and by co-ordination with the buses seems to be the only way that it. can be"l'chieved."

3. An early morning bus trip from Moncton around 8:00 a. m.. arriving Charlottetown at sproxim- stely 2:00 p. ma'f'he return bus trip to leave Charlottetown around 6:00 p. m., arrive Moncton 10:00 . m. to make connection with the aritime Express.

Mr. Rogers furtiher ststed::

"A Eauwpy operand pick-in and delivery fruiting service. sim- ilar to that operated in other prov-

inces, is very badly needed on Prince Edward Island, d as this is a small place. this t king ser-

vice should handle Express and Mail in certain areas.”

Royal Conrail-ton Hearing

These representations as above

work and consumes a great deal of time. While the study was in pro- gress the Royal Commission on Transportation. under the Chair- manship of Mr. Justice Turueon came to Prince Inward Island to hear repruentations from various persons and bodies as to con- ditions in the transport ' "usury. The Ciavernmenc of Prince Edward Island presented a. brief to that Commission and -amongst. other things had this to say st page ll:

"Except. during the winter months (December-" "), psa- senger travel by train on Prince Edward Island is light. as the pub- lic prefer to travel by automobile or by bus; which saves time and provides a more direct service in rural communities."

Further on page Tl psragrsph ii, the lollowin. appears: "A com- prehensive review of the trans- portation agencies and facilities has been included. aa'Prince Ed- ward Island presents, geographic- ally, a logical area. for the com- plete co-ordination of all means of transport in the handling of malls. freight and passenger traf- tic"

on page M the following ap- pears: "The , nger and mail service is further slowed down by the operation of mixed trains. From an economic point of view the railways are Justified. for. ex- cept during the winter months, passenger traffic is very light."

Again on page st the following statement is made: "rho elimin- ation of mixed trains and the co- ordination of bus schedules for the handling of passengers would re- suit. in considerable savings to the railways and at the same time on- able s. more expeditious movement of this traffic.

"Arrangements could be effect- ed whercby the forwarding of mails by bus would eliminate many of the inconveniences and delays now experienced.

"A similar co-ordination of rail and trucking services would enable not only substantial savings but provide a better service to shippers and primary producers in getting their produce to markets.

"Air transportation would pro- vide additional facilities for the adjustment of all forms of trans- port designed to fulfill its proper function of service and develop. ment.

"Present transportation facilit- ies in Prince Edward Island have been outlined in detail for the in- formation of the commission. The Government. of Prince Edward Island submits that this Province presents a logical area for a com- plete cc-ordination of all trans- portation agencies, and suggests that the Commission recommend the esablishment of , on de- signed to ensure no-operative let.- loln by the various bodies concom- c

That the Government of Prince Edward Island was not alone in suggeslns the co-ordination of rail and highway facilitiu is in- stonced in an excerpt from a Joint Brief presented by: The Charlotte- town Board of Trade: the gum.

Cautiet - Duncan Wedding

A very pretty June wedding took place at the Holy Redeemer Ohuroh on Tuesday, June ml, at 0.80 o'clock. when Mary Bernice. daughter of Mr. and Mn. Fred T , Oharlottetown, became the bride of John Francis Geudet. fos- ter son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Murphy d Moreil. Rev. Reginald Phaicn of Tracadle performed the ceremony.

Appropriate hymns were beauti- fully rendered by Mr. James Power accompanied by Mr. Alec Mcncan at the organ. -

The bride was given in marriage by her father and looked very charming in a floor lengtah gown of white Chantilly lace and nylon net over satin with long fitted bodice. I-fer finger tip veil of tulle illusion fell from a coronet or mother of pearl. She canted a bouquet of American Beauty roses.

The bridesmaid. Miss Rita Gai- lant, wore blue lace over taffeta. Her circular veil fell from a line. of blue seeded pearls. she carried s mecca of pink roses.

Mr. Francis MacDonald, a friend of the groom, was best man. Jack And Freddie Duncan, brothers of the bride. were the ushers.

The reception was held at one home of the bride following the ceremony. The toast to me bride was proposed by Rev. Reginald Phalen and responded to by the

groom.

Beautiful selections were render- ed on the piano by Mr. Alex Mc- Lean during the breakfast.

After the reception Mr. and Mrs. Gaudet left on a honeymoon trip to Boston. on their return they will reside in Charlottetown.

(At. this point at Monday's hear- ing before the Legislatlve Com- mfttee Hon. Mr. Darby. Atlorhev General stated that in arguing en- ordination of services the Govern- ment had in mind co-ordination between the Railway and the ev- istlng highway services.)

This excerpt is taken from page: 12, section 12 of that Brief and it' reads:

Co-ordination 0! Air And Surhrl Transportation

"These Boards strongly urge the initiation of a policy of co-oper- atlon and co-ordination in refer- ence to all forms of transportation, so that speedier services and great- er cfficiency may be obtained. and so that each form of transportation whether rail or highway or air, will be devoted more exclusively to the function which it is but de- signed to serve. These Boards feel that such a policy will enable our railways to adopt a better and speedier freight schedule, will do away with mixed freight and pas- senger trains will result in the
