If your tongue
tastes s o e
thing sweet,
your whole
body senses
the pleasure.
As St Paul
said: "If one
member re
joices, the
whole body
rejoices.” We
who are Catho
lics are invited with other Catho
lics all over the World, as the
cells of the body are united to
one another. This one Mystical
Body has one Spirit and one
head.
Thia truth makes it possible
for us to test our faith. Does it
make us rejoice to hear, for ex
ample, that the Batrak tribe
in Indonesia which saw their
first missionaries in 1934 today
number 35.000 baptized Catholics
with 15.000 under instructions?
This should thrill us because
Our Lord and His Blessed Mother
are now adored and revered for
the first time among those people
and in that area of the earth.
Did we have a share in this
through the sacrifice of a luxury,
or the giving of the equivalent
of what we spend on cigarettes
for a year?

Truth Of Mystical Body
Enables Us To Test Faith

Does it make you happy to
know that there are now 15,120
Sisters in Africa under the Pro
pagation and 71% of these are
native Africans? Just a hundred
years ago ancestors of these
women were being sold into
slavery. Now they have become
‘‘slaves to Christ” through the
triple "chains” of poverty, chasti
ty and obedience. What a happi
ness if our young Catholic col
lege women could say they made
a sacrifice of a dance, dinner or
a little luxury to support their
sisters in Christ!
Does it make you proud to
know that our missionaries in
China are suffering torments
rather than deny their faith?
One 53 year old priest was kept
awake for twenty days in the
hope that his mind would break
and he would deny the Church.
On his feet most of the time,
the only respite he was allowed
was to sit on the floor, his head
held high in the air, while his
arms were tightly handcuffed
behind him. When he fell from
exhaustion another priest asked
the jailer to give him the punish
ment instead.
If a speck of dust gets in your
eye, your hand comes to its re
lief. In like manner, we Catholics
in America come to the relief
of our brethren throughout the
world. No man hates his own
body, and the people of China,
India and Africa are one Body
with us because they eat the
same Bread and are loved by the
same Blessed Mother.
Do not merely give something.
The world is too tragic for giving.
We need sacrifice so that with
the gift goes your love of Our
Lord and His Blessed Mother.
See what others are doing! GOD
LOVE YOG to O.B. who sent in
$500.00 for Mission Sunday with

LOVE YOU to Mrs. F.L.C. for
her sacrifice which she considers
“just a debt I’m paying so no
credit to me.”
Many people listen to the radio
and television without ever buy
ing the products which help pro
duce the programs. May all the
readers of “God Love You” love
the Missions by praying for 50
countries in 5 continents. If you
would know what they are, send
for a World Mission Rosary. At
your request and a $2 ottering
to the Missions, we will send you
one blessed by me.

Modern-Day Martin de Porres
Spends Salary On Downtrodden
A modern day Martin de Porres is Llewllyn Scott, Pentagon
clerk in Washington, who devotes his salary to operating a house for
the downtrodden in the nation's Capital City, feeding daily 65 to 80
men and beds for 22 every night. The 51-year-old negro does all his
work of charity after his regular working hours. He is shown here
getting a meal ready at the hospice with the assistance of Arthur

he adds succinctly.
Chicken Every Sunday
An eight-gallon cauldron of
beef stew simmers on the gas
range to provide the evening .neal.
“It’ll all go,” Mr. Scott grins. For
the special Sunday dinners he buys
20 pounds of chicken backs and 10
pounds of rice.
Donated equipment at the house
includes an organ, a clothes wash
ing machine, and three refriger
ators. He hopes to turn in two of
the refrigerators on a deep freeze,
as a community of nuns has prom
ised him a cow if he has a place
to store the meat.
Every evening Mr. Scott offers
grace before dinner, and after the
meal leads the Rosary. Participa
tion in the prayers is entirely vol
untary “I don’t push religion
down a man’s throat. I think it’s
kind of bad,” he explains. A Holy
Cross Brother usually comes by
one night a week, and talks to the
men. Religious instruction classes
for neighborhood children also are
given at the center by Brothers.
Archbishop Patrick A. O’Boyle
of Washington has visited the cen
ter, and was much impressed.
A highlight of Mr. Scott’s life
was when an anonymous donor
gave him $1,000 to make a Holy
Year pilgrimage to Europe. He
sailed on the new French luxury
liner Liberte, and saw all the
sights of Christian Europe—in
cluding Rome, Lourdes, Fatima,
Assisi, Konnersreuth, Florence,
Padua, and the Oberammergau
Passion Play. His knowledge of
French and German helped him
get around.
When he was offered the trip,
the dimunitive center director did
not see how he could accept, since
there would be no one to run the
house while he was away. Then
he thought of Miss Ella Sherman,
a white woman who has been act
ive in interracial work here.
And the interesting part about
it is that Miss Sherman—who un
dertook the burden of running a
Catholic center for two months—is

Resist Commie
Faith-Robbers
Stand Firmly Behind Their
Priests, Held In Sharp
Restriction By The Reds
HONG KONG (NC) Chinese
Catholics are heroic in resisting
Red attempts to rob them of their
faith, as indicated in a series of
stories reaching here.
In a certain Central China city
all the priests were either expell
ed, imprisoned or placed under
house arrest. Two priests, under
house arrest, were allowed a visit
only from their former sacristan, a
man over 70 years of age, who
brought them their food.
But at the same time he brought
small hosts which the priests im
mediately consecrated at a Mass in
their rooms. The old sacristan
then secretly carried the consecrat
ed hosts to the faithful who wish
ed to receive Holy Communion.
Absolution Given
Each day the priests were allow
ed to walk along an outside bal
cony in order to reach another part
of the house. The time of their ap
pearance each day was set and the
Christians were notified. Those
who wished to receive absolution
would gather on a small ridge near
by where they could see the Father
as he passed by. He would then
turn toward them and give them
general absolution for their sins.
In Chumatien, Honan, the com
munist government confiscated the
church, the residence of the priests
and the schools. Two Chinese
priests left took up residence in
private homes. On Sundays the lay
Catholics hire a hall where the
priests offer Mass with attendance
reaching 200.
Aid Saminario*
In spite of all communist pres
sure the major and minor semi
naries continue to function in Han
kow. As of July, there were 40 mi
nor seminarians and 30 major sem
inarians at their studies.
However, the seminaries have
now lost all outside aid. The Cath
olic lay people heard of the diffi
culty and collect privately about
2 million Red China dollars month
ly (close to $100) in order that the
seminary might continue its work.
Many middle school and university
students have used their free time
and vacation periods to make win
ter clothes and shoes for the sem
inarians.
Very few of Hankow’s lay Cath
olics have been affected by the In
dependent Church Movement. The
Chinese clergy has kept itself free
from any taint of “progressivism.”
Catholic lawyers and doctors have
remained firm under pressure,
while the students have shown
both zeal and enthusiasm prac
ticing their faith.

Tribesmen Desert Christianity
As Terror Cult Usurps Kenya
Priest Reports Missions ‘Falling To Pieces’ Gang
Employs Murder And Arson As Weapons
LONDON—(NC)— Anti-European
terrorists in Kenya, British colony
in East Africa, are forcing thou
sands of tribesmen under threats
of death to desert the Christian
Faith, according to reports reach
ing here.
“We are watching 50 years’ work
fall to pieces,” Father Andreole, a
priest at the Nunyuki mission ’d
a correspondent of the London
Daily Mail. “If the present rate of
desertions continues, we may have
only a handful of followers left by
Christmas.”
Catholic mission centers are
known to have been most badly hit
by the terrorists, members of the
Mau Mau, a secret society operat
ing among the 1.000,000 members
of the Kikuyu tribe, a fifth of
whom are Christians.
British Act
British authorities have sent a
cruiser and a battalion of troops to
Kenya and a state of emergency
was proclaimed as an airlift of
twelve planes with about 800 men
made night landings at Nairobi
airport.
The Mau Maus, estimated to
nwmber 200,000 are pledged to
eject all Europeans from the con
tinent. ragerding Chrisianity—the
Catholic Church particularly—as
essentially European. They picket
churches and boycott Christian
stores.
Already they have been respon
sible for the murder of 43 per
sons, burning of crops and build
ings, and the slaughter of cattle.
Priest Attacked
Catholic tribesmen voluntarily
participating in the terror move
ment have been excommunicated
by the local Vicars General. The
gang recently sought to kill Father
P. P. J. McGill, condemned to
death by a Mau Mau “court” for
denouncing the movement from
the pulpit. Father McGill was
away from hi. mission when mem
bers of the gang was made to car
ry out the “sentence.” An attack
was then made on Father J. J.
O’Donoghue, who managed, how
ever, to escape into the darkness.
The British Catholic missionar
ies in Kenya are mostly members
of St. Joseph’s Missionary Society,
popularly known as the Mill Hill
Fathers, after their London head
quarters. However, they are out­

SO MANY JOSEPHS
How would you like another Joseph, a student in
the Seminary of St. Joseph. Alwaye, India, to belong
to you, if you could give, in any installments, the
$500 needed for the remaining five years of his train*
ing for the priesthood? If this is too much, you can
join the CHRYSOSTOMS, our dollar-a-month club,
from which we can give more priests to poor Near
East missions.
“RUSSIA WILL BE CONVERTED and the world will be at peace,” la

EVENING SACRIFICE
So may we well call Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament. It is as if we would be lonely for Our
Eucharistic King after morning Mass, so we take
Him from the Tabernacle and adore Him on Hit
Throne. For the little church at Kafar Bohom,
Syria, we beg the monstrance for Benediction, cost
ing $40, and the tabernacle, costing $25. Can you
give this Evening Sacrifice to the poor?
THOSE MONTHLY DOLLARS given during November for
ORPHANS BREAD will go to our Foundling Hospitals in Jerusalem
and Bethlehem, while the dollars for the BASILIANS, our School Club,
go to the Sisters of Charity in Reeayeh, Iran. Your dollars to the
MONICA GUILD will help furnish the little chapel at Kulapadda,
India. Won’t you join dollar to dollar?
LITTLE ANGEL
That’s the meaning of “Angelina’* and we must
ask this week for Sister Angelina, a novice of the
Sisters of the Rosary in Jerusalem. She asks to
become the adopted daughter of a dear Near East
friend. Her two years’ training will cost $300. which
can be given from month to month. How proud you
could be of this daughter of Mary, who will bring
God’s love into the deserts of Jordan.
DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS are the Asslsian Sisters of
Mary Immaculate, wh^ have now taken up the csre of our poor lepers
at Green Gardens, Shertallay. India. Won you give a mite to the

POOR. POOR CLARES
We are ashamed to ask again for the Poor Clares
In South India, for many were generous to Sister
Latisia and her 38 Sisters. But we are hoping to
give them a modest little chapel which will also
serve the 500 people of their village of East Chala
kudy. They need $1,500 to build this House of God,
but even your dollar to the CHAPEL OF THE
MONTH CLUB will be precious.
FROM THE CLOISTERED CARMELITE SISTERS of the Holy
Land come constant pleas for food packages. One costs $10 and wo
must send so many.
OLR LADY’S ADS
Our Lady's statue can be given to the Chapel at
Ayroor, India, for $50, while a beautiful picture of
her could be placed there for $15 on her very own
altar. This would cost $75 But every gift to the
missions, for example, the $3 gifts to Father Henry
Ayrout In Egypt for clothing his little orphans
would be an answer to Our Lady’s Ads.
