We thank also the former Moderator of this literary book, Father Frederick Frazer, for his equally generous help. HIILY BIBLE MAWH HE TREMENDOUS pride that many peo- ple express in speaking of the Holy Bible as the all-time best-seller always amuses me. The Bible is the foundation of our spiritual life, and should be considered as com- monplace as is our food and clothing. Of course it should be-the best seller! I don't mean to THE CHELSEA REVIEW . be disrespectful about it. But it does amuse me. Not that it is funny. Let us say rather -- that it is odd. One doesn't talk about bread selling better than cake. The Bible is literary bread sent from Heaven to us. Thus, I like to think of the Bible as something more than just a best seller. I like to think of it as the staff, the .57

Illustration by MR. GERARD McCAULEY main-stay, of my spiritual life. The Bible is the first history book of the world and the biography of the greatest Man Who ever lived, a Man Who also was God. It is the key to the mysteries of our Catholic Faith. It is our family tree traced back to our original ancestors, Adam and Eve. It is the foundation for all the laws ever passed before totalitarian- ism, as we know of it today, was ever thought of. It is the greatest Book ever written and the most important document of all time. It is our Divine Constitution, assuring us, guiding us, enlighten- ing us. M The Bible can and should be read from day to day, just by reading a chapter or two at a time. We can improve our lives so much by reading a section of it each day and by trying sincerely to live up to it. One of my favorite Bible stories is the one concerning the wisdom Solomon displayed for the first time. Two women, the mothers of two children, one of whom had died and the other who still lived, asked Solomon to judge who was the rightful mother. After much wrangling back and forth between the women concerned, he asked a servant to bring him a sword to cut the living baby in two, so that half of the child might be given to each. One of the women screamed in horror and asked him to let the second woman have it, but she, the mother of the dead child, a victim of frustrated envy, coldly agreed to the murder of the baby. Solomon then gave the baby to the woman who had shown her motherly love in her desire to sacrifice her baby rather than see him destroyed. Could any treatment on prudence and justice be more instructfully beautiful? The Bible in our home is a new edition. The Old Testament is the Douay version, but the New Testament is the Archconfraternity of Christian Doctrine version. The cover is of black leather with the title, The Holy Bible, emblazoned in gold lettering. The black print is fairly large and easy to read. It contains, too, THE CHELSEA REVIEW' . an address by the Pope on the importance of spiritual reading. It is not an expensive book, yet it contains a wealth incalcuable in words and stories of Divine Revelation. I like to feel that its presence in our home is God's seal of good housekeeping on the efforts of my parents to establish a home, dedicated to the principles of Christian living. This year of our Lord 1952, we celebrate the five hundredth anniversary of the first printed Bible. It commemorates one of the greatest contributions to the world of all time -the printing press. It wasn't strange that the Catholic, John Gutenberg, chose the Bible as the first product of his amazing machine since, in his time, the Bible was the most popular book among the people. In many ways it was their life. Thus, before the invention of the printing press, there were not enough books in all Europe to fill a modern library. The world, therefore, owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to John Gutenberg. Catholics in particular owe this debt of gratitude to him even more so, be- cause he is a shining example of what the indi- vidual Catholic can do for God and for his Faith. John Gutenberg glorified his Faith in using his God-given intelligence for the honor and glory of his Creator. I said in the beginning of my treatise on the most sacred of all books that the fact that the Bible is called the best seller of all time' amuses me. God forbid that I should say this derisively. Rather, I said it resentfullyg resent- fully, because I think that you and I both know that such a surprisingly large number of Cath- olics do not own a Bible. Could the main reason for this be that they do not realize, even in these troubled times when Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Communist Manifesto seek to supplant the Old and New Testaments, the importance of having this book, and do not dream of the immense spiritual strength that can be had from reading the Bible? I find this difficult to under- stand. How about you? ..59
