TABLET ESSAY CONTEST i1'1I1iI1 SSHY Written by JEAN D. BOLSON Awarded lst General Prize in High School Division Student 3rd Term, St. Angela Hall THE TABLET As an Inspiration for Catholic Action As the forces of atheism, hatred and racial prejudice are fighting for pre- dominance in the heart of man, the oppressed earth cries out for Catholic Action. We are inspired to answer its plea, and bring spiritual security to all nations, through THE TABLET, Brooklyn's leading Catholic weekly. Through its columns, we become the recipients of that Divine Influence which causes man to accept and spread Its doctrines. The brilliant editorials of THE TABLET tell us of the great work be- ing done by the hierarchy and laity at home and abroad. It is highly improb- able that any Catholic, reading of the courageous labor of his fellow-man, would not be encouraged to assist him. As an example of THE TABLET'S editorials, let me refer to the informa- tive column, Sursum Corda, or What's Right with the World. From it we receive the Catholic viewpoint on all current events. February twenty- third's discussion was particularly ex- cellent. It concerned the scurrilous lies that were hurled at our Holy Father by the Communists. The Writer reminds us not to fear these persecu- tions, because our Curch thrives against opposition. The column on the Propagation of the Faith will surely incite us, if noth- ing else will, toward ardent Catholic Action. The extraordinary endeavors of our missionaries in the field afar, certainly must excite some small spark of enthusiasm in our hearts. Even a relatively minor feature of THE TABLET, the Legion of De- cency List, inspires us with higher moral standards. It classifies motion pictures and stage plays as to suit- ability, and exhorts us to militate against morality. One cannot list all the achievements of this splendid paper. To gain full ap- preciation of its value, it must be read. It is the beacon light that will guide the flimsy ship of mortals to a safe and secure harbor. Therefore, purchase THE TABLET, read it thoroughly, discover for yourself its message, and act . . . now.
