LEUT lillli MONSIGNOR EDWARD A. FREKING THE National Secretary of the Catholic Student's Mission Crusade, Monsignor Edward A. Freking, S.T.D., gave a calm, closely-reasoned view of the mission fields of the world today. Monsignor expressed the opinion that impassioned pleas for mission support accomplished less than actual presen- tation of the facts. Taking each country in turn, this Editor-in-Chief of the Shield explained how Christianity had been affected by the war, by Communism, by the economic situation, and by new ideologies. On the whole, the situation is not as bad as many believe, he stated. Knowledge of mission problems, and prayer and sacrifice for missionaries by those on the home front, can and will help carry Christ throughout the world. MONSIGNOR LESLIE V. BARNES RIGHT Reverend Monsignor Leslie V. Barnes, noted Catholic educator and wartime chaplain, conducted the annual retreat here at the Court. Monsignor is Chancellor of the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, and is currently teaching at Catholic University. The retreat was inspiring through the spirit of prayer and deep recollection with which Monsignor's personal fervor filled each student. From him, these words became impressed more deeply on the heart of the girls: The world is not enough. The lesson of living one's entire life in God, and sharing with Him all its happiness and sorrow, became a goal for each one of us. Monsignor Barnes' influence will be felt at the Court for a long time to come. i4 DR. FRANK H. JOHNSON TO THE Courtiers whose interest in science is increasing in proportion to new inventions and discoveries, Dr. Frank H. Johnson brought a fascinating description of luminous bacteria. Dr. Johnson, who is an Associate Professor in the De- partment of Biology at Princeton University, has a national reputation for his studies of microscopic life. Luminous bacteria, Dr. Johnson explained, are equipped with apparatus for the emission of cold light. The man- made inventions which employ cold light were antedated by nature's own processes, even in these rudimentary creatures. The lecture in general was made fascinating by the frequent use of illustrations. DR. ROY J. DEFERRARI THE eminent scholar and man of letters, Dr. Roy J. Deferrari, Secretary General of Catholic University, discussed the life and literary contributions of Saint Augustine. As an authority on the Patristic Period, Dr. Deferrari delineated the background of the age. Then as now, men were confused and groping toward the light of truth. Augustine holds that light aloft for all men through the centuries. Saint Augustine, the author and editor showed in his masterly exposition, was a true saint, a completely human person, and a literary genius. The ,latter quality is best exemplified by his major works, The Confessions and City of God .
