a generation of Christians had
been guided and instructed by
the Apostles. (See the prologue
to St. Luke’s Gospel 1:1-4) The
change of the Lord’s Day to Sun
day, infant baptism and the
canon (or official list of the books
of the Bible) were all determined
by Tradition. Besides this divine
ly revealed Tradition there are
many traditions which are npt of
divine origin. They depend upon
the historical evidence alone for
their reliability, and many of
them give apparently true details
of early Christian history e g.
from such traditions we have the
names of St. Joachim and St.
Anne as the parents of the Bless
ed Virgin. We should keep clear
the difference between Divine
Tradition and human traditions
or legends of the early Church.

sponsible leaders of the CIO and
AF of have gone a good job
in selling private enterprise to
the rank and file. We can do our
part by making labor's associa
tion with us a happy one.
Shoulder to Shoulder
Another thing that employer
associations are doing is to en
courage management to partici
pate in community projects. We
are happy to say that most firms
do a great deal in this regard.
There are few community pro
jects that are not headed by man
agement personnel. Unions are
cooperating more and more, and
thus we see Management and I,a
hor, working together, shoulder
to shoulder, for the good of the
whole community.
Our companies played a part
in the building of the Holland
Vehicular Tunner and the Gan
sevoort Meat Market. Presently
we are lending our personnel
and the influence of our com
panies to the forwaro-looking
efforts of the United Fresh Fruit
and Vegetable Association of
New York in the matter of a
new and modern wholesale mar
ket for fresh fruit and vege
tables in the metropolitan area.
In this we are not alone. Many
companies are doing similar
things in New' York, Chicago
and other cities.
Community Service Important
This is not simple altruism.
We have found it to be good bus
iness. When a community flour
ishes. we thrive. Our position in
the community is good because
the community is in good shape.
Were it to decline, our com
panies would suffer. We must
serve our community or we are
lost. The Christian doctrine of
ownership as stewardship is
sound business.
It is along these lines that I
would- suggest that we in em
ployer organizations move. I am
sure that many employers are
beginning to think this way.
But more than organizations, we
need more emnloyers with vis
ion. We need less talk and more
action, less blueprints and more
sacrifices, less meetings and more
prayers. If the laity supplies the
leaven, the bread of peace and
prosperity will rise in our world
of industry.
