5 srtnunnoclx of euage to the racfualed It us a remarkable fact un the world that groups of people are uouned together unto a socuety because of the fact that all the people un that socuety have a unuted love euther for one thung or for a group of thungs commonly loved by all We may give to the group of people who unute together the name cuty we may further find un the hearts of men two loves and thus we may duvude the human race unto two cutues to whuch all other human groups are reduced The large group of men who lead the lufe of the old man he terrestrual man and who are unuted by the common love of tem poral thungs may be called the terrestrual cuty The second group unuted by a common duvune love of God may be called the cuty of God There us a vast duFference between these two cutues yet our cutuzenshup must be resudent un euther of the two The cutuzen of the FATHER WHELAN terrestrual cuty struves for all thungs whuch wull brung to hum happuness and peace Clothes food, luxuruous luvung quarters property power money these are the thungs whuch form the happuness and the peace of the wordly one as a result of the unordunate penchant for these thungs there enters unto the luves of the unhabu tants of thus cuty sun strufe unhappuness and sufferung Peace true peace and true order cannot be found there and thus aruse tyrants who place the cutuzens un servutude and who themselves usurp the place of God But the celestual cutuzen on the other hand whose sole end us to enuoy the beatutude and who uses all thungs un vuew of obtaumng ut knows that order us love that vurtue us the submussuon of love to order that food, clothes and ruches taken un themselves are good but that un the use of them we must subordunate them enturely to God He knows that he must love hus neughbor as humself that he us made to the umage and lukeness of God that God has no body and that thus hus soul us the umage of God and hus body must be subordunated to hus soul that he must love the Lord hus God wuth all hus heart wuth all hus soul and wuth all hus mund The Chrustuan who luves the lufe of grace us master of all thungs ond because he knows how to relate each thung to uts own end he wull enuoy the peace and the luberty of the chuldren of God He knows that the terrestrual cuty lasts from creatuon to the end of tume but the spurutual man born of grace us called to luve un the Cuty of God for all eternuty Unfortunately however among those who adhere to the cuty of God there us stull much paganusm of thought and actuon and much leanung to the cuty of the world Sometumes un the hope of brungung the two cutues to coalesce But such hope us vaun There us no muddle term that can reconcule these opposutes and those luberal unduvuduals who would do ut by conformung the cuty of God to the notuons of the world and unclude un that cuty, wuthout conversuon the enemues of God seem to deserve to be themselves counted as belongung to the cuty of the world The error of those who aum to be Chrustuans un reluguon and gentules un luterature educatuon scuence and polutucs can only be accounted for on the supposutuon that they regard reluguon as somethung addutuonal to nature but yet separate from ut and not as the leaven that us muxed wuth the measures of meal tull ut leavens the whole mass Now uf Chrusuanuty us to be anythung ut must be everythung lt us not as an extrunsuc force applued to nature that ut elevates man to a hugher order but by enterung every flbre of our beung and becomung udentufied wuth our unmost soul ut makes easy what before was hard uf not um possuble and guves to actuons apparently truvual a worth and dugnuty above our hughest conceptuon It us the whole of man It must control hum not only un hus exteruor worshup un the church of God but must pervade hus luterature, hus scuence hus polutucs and hus busuness so that every act he performs shall be not only the act of a man but of a Chrustuan Whoever us not for God us agaunst Hum and whoever leaves God out of hus scuence hus educatuon or hus polutucs relegates humself to false peace to chaos and unhappuness and to the terrestrual cuty FATHER WHELAN ' if I 'l 9 4 O ' I . ..
