So it is when a great man diesg the world is illumi- nated by his inffuence long after his death. Little wonder then, that we of 1945 still cherish with respect the mem- ory of an inspired actor in the great drama of religion, who one hundred years ago made his startling exodus from the Church of England and his humble entrance into the Catholic Church of Rome. The influence of this action serves as a permanent memorial to his great genius as a theologian, teacher, and writer. His name is Cardinal Newman Newman raced through his elementary education and at the age of sixteen be- came a student at Trinity College, Ox- ford. where in recognition of his high scholastic standing, he was elected to a Fellowship at Oriel. As a result, how- ever, of his diligent pursuit of study and his avid search for knowledge, there came also to his very active mind a new restless feeling that Newman himself described as thoughts from another world. In a letter to his parents he wrote, I dreamed a spirit came to me and discoursed about another world: it said it was absolutely impossible for the reason of man to understand the mystery of the Holy Trinity and in vain to argue about it, but that everything in another world was so very, very plain that there was not the slightest difficulty about it. This sounds the Erst note of skepticism that overshadowed the great scholar's mind. PATRICIA Kms '45 Persevering in the Anglican Seminary, he was ordained on May 29, 1825, and shortly thereafter became Vicar of St. Mary's University Church. In 1829 New man took a Mediterranean cruise and the leisure for concentrated thought afforded him by this voyage found vent in poetry. These writings show his state of mind at this period and give an indication of more misgivings and forebodings that were destined to lead to his conversion thirteen years later. When he returned to England, Newman found himself in the midst of an acute religious crisis, which prompted him to write his famous Tracts for the Times and as a result the seeds of the Tractarian or Oxford Movement were sown. Oxford Movement The aim of the Oxford Movement, the first phase of which originated with- in the Church of England in 1833, was tc. awaken a new and elevated religious life. To this end Newman gave all his strength and genius. He became its very soul. Gradually under his leadership the Movement veered away from the An- glican Church and opened a wide path in the Catholic direction that was to lead to Newman's secession to Rome and eventually to the Catholic Revival in England. Historians tell us in referring to Newman and the Movement, that no living man had so changed the religious thought of England and that the effects of his efforts will remain active for gen- erations to come. Realizing the break with Oxford and the Anglican Church was inevitable, 10 THE SCROLL

them and Barbara will be deprived of them the rest of her life! When did the police say they would be here? Walt broke in. About a half hour or so, answered Martha. Police Officer Mike O'Leary arrived at the scene forty-five minutes later. The usual data was put on record. When did you first miss the jewels, Mrs. john- son ? was Mike's pertinent query. Wringing her hands, Martha answered in a troubled tone, It was this evening when I was dressing to go out. I just know someone took them, probably Betsy. She cleans the house, and several times she'd remarked how beautiful the crystals were. I know she had no idea of the value of them. Maybe the poor girl wanted them to wear to the ball. Her steady is home on furlough and she may have figured I wouldn't miss them for a day or two. Oh, dear! I should have kept them locked up. lf that's the solution, all we have to do is call her up, put in Walt. Mike O'Leary stood on tiptoes, slipped his agile hands into his pockets, and came down with a thump. In his delightful brogue he remarked, In the name of Saint Patrick, me good people, what am I doin' here if ye have the case solved ? Wait a minute, officer, Walt said, We're only trying to help. To Mrs. Johnson's satisfaction, Betsy turned out to be innocent, and the case went unsolved that evening. The next morning Barb dashed down the steps and exclaimed, Mother, your crystals! The paper states that you're offering a reward for them. Oh, Mother! I feel terrible because it's all my fault. You see I took them yesterday and tried them on. I wanted to see how luscious I'd look when I inherited them. And- -and-when I took them off, they got tangled in my sweater and I broke them. Martha looked a little dubious. My heavens, dear! Where are they? In deep study Barb proceeded to re- store the elusive crystals. , She arose from the floor and spoke in a frightened voice. Mother, they're gone! I put them right here in an envelope. The mystery, so near being solved, seemed almost determined to remain in that state. Officer O'Leary, noted for his annihilation of crime, remained alert in checking all leads. That evening at dinner Willie con- stantly interrupted his parents. Walt and Martha finally gave up their conversation regarding different theories about the mystery to listen to their insistent son. Willie, surprised to find that he had obtained the spotlight for the first time since dinner began, fumbled around with his words for awhile and then said, Wow! It sure is tough to get a word in around here. Now let's see, what was I gonna tell you. Darn it, I forgot. Oh, well, johnny Hargrove and I got in a terrible fight today. He said I crooked his prize agate. What would I want with his old shooters, when everybody knows I have the best collection in the school. How about shooting a game after dinner, Pop? His weary father looked quite ready tc answer in the negative when he caught a meaningful look from Martha and re- plied animatedly, It's a game, if it will keep you happy. But I warn you, I was a champ when I was your age. After dinner Willie selected his prize shooters and handed the collection to his father. Take any one you want, he directed. I'd let you use one of these but they're new, and swell shots too. Walter peeped over his glasses and winked at Martha. What's the matter. son, afraid I'll trim you ? Oh no, not at all, just being care- ful , Willie remarked assuredly. Martha sank deep into her chair, and lifted the sewing kit upon her lap. With shoes off and toes turned to the warmth of the fireplace, she looked in dismay at the large holes in Willie's socks. After working with constant effort on the practically irreparable sock, she re- marked with pride, Without a doubt, that is the best job I've ever done, and arose slowly from her chair. Upon reach- ing the mending pile she screamed, Yeow! ! ! Then she stopped to re- trieve Willie's runaway shooter. Glory be! My pistols-I mean my crystals! THE SCROLL 9

Newman withdrew to Littlemore. Lonely and disappointed, he directed all his ef- forts at this time to writing his Essay on Christian Doctrine -the tracing of the evolution of religious dogma. When he started this profound work he was still in name an Anglican, before he completed it he had made his formal submission to Rome. Now the plea found in his poem, Lead, Kindly Light , was answered, the vision of peace de- scended upon him. Very quietly john Newman made his confession and Com- munion as a Catholic in the private Ora- tory at Littlemore on October 9, 1845, and was soon to be followed by many of Oxford's illustrious sons. Brastow, n non-Catholic philosopher, writes that When Newman entered the Catholic Church, he went home. He entered it as with a shout of exultation. The rest- lessness and confusion of uncertainty vanish and his entire subsequent career indicates that it was a joyful emancipa- tion. Orrlination After a novitiate in Rome Newman was ordained to the Catholic priesthood by Pope Pius IX on May 30, 1848. Two years later another triumph was written across the pages of his life when the re- establishment of the Catholic Hierarchy in England was no longer a vague and distant aspiration but a reality. Despite great opposition, Catholic England was restored to its orbit in the ecclesiastical firmamentf' This was truly a day of glory and the words of Newman, who preached on this occasion, form a monu- ment that will stand forever. For the text of his sermon entitled The Second Spring he took a verse from the Can- ticle of Canticles : Arise, make haste, my love, my dove, my beautiful one, and come. For the winter is now passed, the rain is over and gone. The flowers have appeared in our land. Literature At this point in his career Newman seems to have given full sway to his lit- erary talent, although few things would have been less welcome to him than to hear himself referred to as a man of let- ters. He was a priest first and last, and everything he wrote was conceived with the direct purpose of advancing God's Kingdom on earth. His aim was to set forth through the medium of language the visions by which he himself was in- spired. In so doing he produced works which for grace and charm, for power and simplicity, stand almost alone in our language and earn for him the title of Master of English Prose. His well-known essay, written while he was rector of Dublin University, on the Idea of a University , in which he defines the aim of education, is unparal- leled for clearness of thought and rare beauty of diction. Likewise his Apologia pro Vita Sua has been proclaimed a true classic, outstanding for its vigorous pre- cision and written to set forth the pro- cesses by which the author was led into the Catholic Church. In the realm of poetry, too, his place is one of rare distinction. Only the vision of the theologian, as well as the vibrant faith of the man, could produce a work like The Dream of Gerontius , the most majestic description of what lies beyond the pale of death that has ever been published. True, the subjects with which he deals dwell in a region seem- ingly visionary to us, but real indeed to himg for his genius lies in his sense of the invisible. He speaks to some of every generation, and those whose hearts and minds are open to his message hear a music and behold a vision which is out of the realm of the earthly. Where then shall we place him in the hall of writers? Surely among the im- mortals, for his scholarly writings are among the most glorious jewels of our literary heritage. Long before he took his final rest, the minds and hearts of an admiring world had turned to Card- inal Newman and in recognition of his signal services for the Catholic Cause, Pope Leo XIII, in 1879, conferred upon him the Cardinal's Hat. Honor and ac- claim now rewarded his untiring zeal. Last Days Gradually the weakness of extreme old age had come upon him. He preached QContinued on page 635 THE SCROLL 11
