The Sacred Priesthood
The Sacrament of Holy Or
ders sets the priest apart from
the rest of the faithful who have
not received this consecration.
For they alone, in answer to
an inward supernatural call
havfe entered the august minis
try, where they are assigned to
service in the sanctuary and
become, as it were, the instru
ments God uses to communicate
supernatural life from on high
to the Mystical Body of Jesus
Christ. Let all then who would
live in Christ flock to their
priests. By them they will be
supplied with the comforts and
food of the spiritual life. From
them they will procure the
medicine of salvation assuring
their cure and happy recovery
from the fatal sickness of their
sins. The priest, finally, will
bless their homes, consecrate
their families and help them,
as they breathe their last,
across the threshold of eternal
happiness.

Labor Party
Gains Ground
In Holland
Catholic Moderates Lose
Seats As Rightist Group
Splits The Vote
THE HAGUE—(Radio, NC)—Con
trary to general expectations, the
Catholic People’s Party has lost
its strength at the Netherlands gen
eral elections. The Labor Party
emerged as the strongest political
group in the country.
Both will have 30 each of the
100 seats in the lower chamber of
the Netherlands “Staten Generaal”
(parliament). This is a loss of two
for the People’s Party, and a gain
of three for the Laborites.
On a percentage basis, the num
ber of votes cast for People’s Par
ty candidates declined from 31.04
jer cent in 1948 elections to 28.67
per cent. On the other hand, the
Labor Party votes rose to 25.60 per
cent in 1948 to 28.97 this year.
The losses of the People’s Party
are partly explained by the gains
made by the Catholic National Par
ty. a rightist group Leaded by Ch.
J. I. M. Welter, which now has two
seats in parliament and obtained
2.71 per cent of the votes.
The gains of the Labor Party,
which in its general policy resem
bles the British Labor Party, are
attributed to the losses of the com
munists. The latter declined from
7.74 to 6.16 per cent of the votes
cast and will have only six repre
sentatives in parliament, a loss
of two.
Only minor changes have result
ed from the elections in the distri
bution of the remaining 32 seats
tion of the remaining 32 seats dis
tributed between four minor par
ties.
The Catholic People’s Party re
mains, however, the strongest po
litical group in the upper cham
ber, the 50 members of which
&ere elected by the provincial
councils. The party gained one seat
and will be represented by 17
members. Labor has 14 seats in the
upper chamber, the Anti-Revolu
lutioniaries 7, and the Christian
Historical Party 6 seats.

“God’s Law: The Measure of Man’s
Conduct,” as the basis for all Holy
Name meetings and the theme of
public demonstrations. “Make all
people you come in contact with in
your daily life conscious of God‘s
law and how it applies to their
daily life,” Father Culliton told
the men.
A specific plan of action given
the men, calls for their including
the objective of the year in their
Holy Communion intentions and for
daily prayer for those who violate
the natural law of God.

ings, beginning in September, will

topics are: “Morality and Educa
tion,” September “Morality and
Politics,” October “Morality: The
Need of Today,” November “God’s

Order,” December “Human Px*a
son,” January “Natural Law and
Revelation,” February “Moral In
tegrity,” March “Religion and
Morality,” April “Moral Stand
ard Applies Universally,” May, and
“Morality and Economics,” June.
The meeting also urged the men
to judge political candidates in ac
cordance with moral standards and
to encourage public officials to1
abide by God’s law. A special plea
was made for the men to vote and
to have all parish society member
ships vote.
Other objectives of the program
include a recommendation to en
courage good wholesome movies,
radio and television programs, not
merely to condemn the bad ones.
Charles Leach, of Holy Rosary
parish, was chairman of the spe
cial committee which prepared the
program for the coming year.
Assisting in Sunday’s meeting
were the other officers of the Dio
cesan Union: William McGrath, of
St. Agatha’s parish, vice president
Edward Wolfe, of St. Aloysius’ par
ish, secretary, and Gus Grodian, of

P.I. Court Says
Labor Must Have
Right To Strike
MANILA—(NC)—The Supreme
Court of the Philippines, in a de
cision written by Chief Justice Ric
ardo Paras, has upheld the right of
workers to strike for better work
ing conditions.
The decision here is regarded
as especially important, since in
previous cases the Court has held
that if a strike is declared for
trivial, unjust or unreasonable
cause the tribunal could declare
it illegal. In his decision, Chief
Justice Paras wrote: “The plea of
the laborers for better working
conditions and more working days
cannot be trivial, unreasonable or
unjust.”
Labor circles hailed his decision
as one of the most important gains
of labor in recent years. They said
they hoped that the Justice’s
“strong and definite words” will
encourage union members to stand
by their union pledges.
(Recently a strike at the branch
of National City Bank of New
York here was broken by the
American manager when he ad
vertised for workers to replace
those on strike. Out,of fear of los
ing their job 180 out of 250 strik
ers returned thus breaking the
strike.)
The Case arose when the Philip
pine Oil Industry Workers’ Union
struck against Central Vegetable
Oil Company.
