Pope's Easter Message
(Continued from Page 1)
ed a stormy night, when all na
ture seems overthrown and de
void of hope. The traveler stumb
les without stars to guide him
and fears he is lost.
But after a night of terror, he
said, dawn forces back the storm,
‘a shudder passes through the
earth. Life is restored.”
The night preceding the Resur
rection was such a time, he said.
The Shepherd had been struck
and the flock dispersed. Christ's
enemies were convinced that
they had buried the ‘seducer of
the people.’ His lifeless remains
lay in the tomb. His lips silent.
His power to command the ele
ments.. perform miracles and
raise the dead was stilled.
All these facts, the Pope point
ed out seemed to say: "All is
finished.”
"A short distance away." he
continued, "amid the silence of
a tiny dwelling, there bums a
flame of faith which was never
extinguished: with confidence un
shaken. Mary awaits Jesus.
"And behold! the earth trem
bles. The angel descends from
heaven and rolls away the heavy
stone which sealed the tomb and
takes his place upon it ... At
long last, the dawn.”
The Pope said that the hopes
the night which has descended
upon the world and pressed down
in like manner, will soon see the
dawn.
"Men of every nation and con
tinent have been forced to live
confused and anxious in a topsy
turvy world Error, common
in well night countless forms. Jias
made slaves of the intellects of
men Individuals, classes and
peoples persist in remaining di
vided and consequently without
social intercourse And when
they do know each other, they
hate each other: they plot
against, struggle with, and de
stroy one another.”
Even this night, however,
shows clear signs of a dawn that
will come, continued the Pope.
In the world, under Providence,
methods for a fuller and freer
development of life ate about to
he multiplied. The discoveries
of science technical development,
and organization are about to
put .such a life at the disposal of
men.

already opened a new age con

"And yet, all this is still
night. Night indeed full of
groaning end hope, but night.
Night which could also, even
unexpectedly, become engulfed
in storm."
The Pope said that many are
coming to know and to admit
that this night of the world was
brought on because Christ was
arrested, because men wished to
exclude Him from the family,
cultural-, and social life: because
"people have risen up against
Him because He has been cruci
fied and rendered voiceless and
motionless.”
The Vicar of Rome ended his
discourse with a moving prayer:
"Com* Lord Josusl
"The human race has not the
strength to move the stone
which it has itself fashioned
seeking to impede Thy return.
Send Thy angel, O Lord, and
make our night grow bright
as the day.
“How many hearts. O Tx»rd.
await Thee! How many souls are
longing for the hastening of the
day in which Thou alone wilt live
and reign in their hearts.
“Come Ixird Jesus!
“There are numerous signs that
Thy return is not far off.
“O Mary, who hast seen Him
risen: Mary. Hom whom the first
appearance of Jesus took away
the unspeakable anguish produc
ed by the night of the Passion:
Mary, we offer the first fruits of
this day to thee. To thee spouse
of the Divine Spirit, we offer our
heart and our hope Amen.”

rection actually exists. But Mosh
er has carried the question of
"evidence” to ridicu’cus ex
tremes.
In order to satisfy his de
mands last week, Senators
Putka and Robert Shaw, co
sponsor (R.-Columbus) would
have had to spend most of the
past two years pursuing dirty
films all over the state with
pad and pencil to note down
the censorable parts.
The implication, of course, is
that there have been no such
films. Sen. .Mosher should know
better. Movie industry leaders
themselves have denounced the
showing of sex films in Ohio
since film censorship was nulli
fied. So have the editors of movie
trade publications.
Two Ohio communities have
seriously considered setting up
film censoring bodies themselves.
This should be enough evidence
for most reasonable men. But not
for Sen. Mosher.
In his zaal for avidenco,
Moshar, a publisher, has sur
passed the lawyer* of the House
Judiciary committee who two
years ago decided there was
enough evidence to warrant
sending the bill to the House
floor where it received an over
whelming vote of approval.
By delaying hearings to this
late date and by tactics used last
week. Sen. Mosher again leaves
himself open to the charge of
abuse of power.
But after all. Sen. Mosher is
not the only one concerned here.
There are 32 other senators and
139 members of the House also
duly elected representatives of
Ohio’s 8.000,000 citizens who
should have a chance to vote on
film censorship.
One of the arguments used
against film control goes like
this: "Why should I let someone
else tell me what 1 can and can
not see.”
Members of the General As
sembly- -particularly the Repub
lican leadership might well
consider a similar question: “Why
should1 we let Sen Mosher tell us
what we can and cannot vote
on?”
It might help to remove this
“evidence" block, however, if par
ents and others interested film
licensing would inform Sen.
Mosher and Governor William
O’Neill of their own observations
on obscene films Both can be

Fr. Byrne Likens
Holy Spirit Men
To Apostles
The solemn opening of the
general phase of the Holy Spirit
Addition and New Church Build
ing Fund Campaign took ’place
last Monday evening at 8:00 p.m.
in the Holy Spirit Church. ,,
The Rosary was led by Fr. Rob
ert W. Harwick, pastor.
The guest speaker was Ft.
John E. Byrne. C. PP.S. pastor
of St. James Parish. In his ser
mon. Father Byrne compared the
men to the Apostles. He said that
like the Apostles, the workers
probably had apprehensions
about the work they were setting
out to do but that God would give
them the necessary blessings to
carry out this work.
Father Harwick was Celebrant
at Solemn Benediction of the
Most Blessed Sacrament, with Fr.
James Berendt as Deacon and
Fr. Urban Wiggins as sub deacon.
The workers’ own gifts to the
campaign turned in at the Sol
emn Opening brought the audit
ed pledge total to $76,839. The
second report meeting will be
held Monday. April 29. at 8.00
p.m and the active phase of the
campaign will dose on May 10th

Among (he practical projects
prompted by the Medical Mis

of sample medicines. The
Gleaners’ Unit of Crusaders. St.
Mary's Delaware, has been do
ing this for several years.
After sending medicines to
various places, these Crusaders
found the following procedure
most effective. About 100
pounds of sample medicines are
collected. All of the same kinds
of medicines are put together.
These are then sorted into
groups such as: ointments, gas
tric-intestinal remedies, nutri
tional build-up, cardiac -medicin
es, sedatives, arthritic tablets,
cold remedies.
A card is then sent to the
Catholic Medical Mission Board
