3. By interest in evil-deon—The very purpose af Christ's coming to earth war to win sn were. He asks those who would be Christo. phers to do the same, “that you may be chil. dren of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bed and raineth upon the just and the unjust” (Marchew 5:45)... . “Be mot overcome by evil,” cautions Se. Paul, “but overcome evil by good” (Romans 12:21). Rather than de- vote attention to “saving the saved.” one of the chief objectives of the Christopher should be to reach thor who are farthest from Christ and therefore need Him most. 4. Dy toking port ln public bfe—This is the strict duty of all citizens. Men have a special re sponsibility. But women have an important role also. Only recently, the Holy Father made an emphatic starement shout women’s role im poblic life, when he ssid: “Your entry into ic life came about suddenly as ¢ result of sociel upheavals which we ste around as. It does wot matter. You wre called upon to take part... . The fete of the family, the fete of buman relations ore at stake. They are in your bends. “Every women bes then, mark it well, the obligation, tbe strict obligation in conscience, wot fo absent berseif but to xo imio scion fu a manner ond wey ritable to the condi- Sion of esch, so 41 to bold beck those currents which threaten the bome, so a: to op thore doctrines which undermine its foundations, to #1 fo brepere, crgenize and achieve its restore. Oppertunttics tz public Life @ le adecation—-Since education is a powerful factor in moulding public opinion, it is « field of utmost importance. Innumerable op- portunities are open to one who has the inter- ests of Christ at heart—positions as teachers, profemors, librarians, on boards of education, boards of regents of colleges and wniversi- 20 tie... « Professors and etudents with anti- Christian convictions have shown how influen- councils, student newspapers, and in other sru- Christian principles in government has never been more apparent than it is today. Be cause right-thinking people neglected to make themselves heard and their influence felt in many countries, the forces of evil took over. ‘When those who have a keen sense of Chris- tian values do their part to bold positions in city, state, and national government, they can do much to protect the public fram those wha would tamper with the “self-evident truths” oo which our whole national life is founded. . . . Yet while only a few can take an active part in government, everyone can investigate the ipocs at stake during elections and promote what he thinks is for the best interests of pub- Be welfare. & fa teber—There is a golden opportunity for the followers af Christ to show right now— zor simply by talk, but by devoted effort—chat Christianicy has the interests of both worken and management more at beart than any other force in the world. There is need of constant vigilance within the ranks of management it- eelf to see that its Christian obligations to the workers are fulfilled. Likewise Christian work- 3 within the labor unions should take an ac- tive incerest in all policy making, being faith- fal in strendance at meetings, and in promot- ing good and fighting evil within the unico membership. One example of lack of leadership occurred im a well-known labor union of several thow- sand members of whom ninety-five per cent are Catholic and only the cmall remsining mi- mority definitely opposed to the things of Christ. 2 a QO !
