Due to Communist's persecution their destina- tion will not be China but Formosa where they will join Fathers Leo Fox and Thomas Smith who are already engaged in missionary work on that island. With these two missionaries go the congratulations of the double family on the attainment of their desire to bring Christ's doctrine to the poor and neglected of the world as well as an assurance of a remembrance in our daily prayers and sacrifices. May God bless their efforts abundantly! Rev. John Hickey, C.M.

It not only entertained but may, it is hoped, set the pace for plays of the future. If it does, then seminary entertainment has a bright future. This story of life in a German prison camp during the second World War was ably directed by the Rev. Mr. Wil- liam Horan, C. M., who certainly will be the last to deny that it had more than its fair share of headaches. It was not an easy play to produce. The accent was more on character than on plot, on the relations of the men to each other and to their captors, on their efforts to unearth the informer planted in their midst. Its two main elements, comedy and suspense, were sustained until the very end. The characters were of every imagin- able type and afforded a rare oppor- PRISON 71 tunity, especially to those who like "character" parts. The straight roles Left to right: Messrs.

Semester exams took place from the 19th to the 23th. The rather regret4 table lack of province-wide news in the feature section of this issue can be direct- ly traced to these exams. As we do not foresee their early abolition the problem still remains: how to compose a De A-ndrein during exam week?

Through the courtesy of Ross.V. Randolph, the Warden, twenty eight of thi students visited the Menard Branch of the Illinois State Prison. The-Rev. Joseph Strzelec, of the diocese of Belleville, who acts as chaplain, was agide for the st-i- dents and gave many interesting bits of information asnd advice. The tour was most thorough, including sections not usuially shovi to visitors. Generally speaking, it was a revealing afternoon and one that those present will not soon forget.

A RAY OF CHARITY

On the 5th of May, 1952, there was received into the National Worker's Clinic a wor- ker, 39 years of age, a native of Santander and blind in both eyes. His name was Gabriel Revilla Herrero.

His eyes had been injured by caustic soda while he was working. For seven months he waited for the doctors at Valecilla to heal them. But when they released Gabriel, they were nable to give him hs si ght.

But it was his sight that the sick man wanted the most. He knew that there was an eminent specialist in Madrid and he went there, but only at the cost of going beyond his slender means. The specialist decided: "With a corneal transplant, we would have a re- nkote possibility of restoring your. sight."

There was question of a possibility both problematical and remote. But there was .always the possibility. And so the sick man, instead of returning to Santander, where his wife and three children impatiently awaited him, made arrangements to" .be received into the Madrid clinic'.

He prayed, suff ered, and hoped.

There were in the clinic-nine Daughters of Charity caring for the sick. Perhaps it vuld be better to say eight. For Sister Maria del Carmen Berdejo, suffering from heart trouble ad the victim of a recent hemiplagia, was paralyzed in bed, after having spent eleven years of her religious life in the ca thc e the sick workers. She was young, but she was resigned to dying on the day when it would please God. And that day turned out to be no other than the glorious day of the Ascension of Christ, the 22rd of May, fifteen days after the arrival of Gabriel, whose misfortune she learned about through the other sisters.

The invalid sister immediately called her superior an asked in all simplicity that her feyes might be used for the operation. The superior then sought and immediately obtained permission from higher authority,

When the sick woman heard this she was filled with heavenly joy, which was manifested in the sweettess of her countenance and the fervor with which she constantly repeated the Our Father .-

The corneal transplant was successful and while the credit for a perfect operation must go to the doctor, to Sister Maria del Carmen goes the gratitude of the worker Gabri- el Revilla Herrero, whose eyes have regained their sight, thanks to a ray of charity from• a daughter of St TVincent.

Prison 71 (Continued from Page Two) Like any other Barrens production. Prison 71 had its technical flaws. The actors, for the most part, ably covered over mistakes or omissions, but the prompters were often at a loss to dis- cover where they were. Mr, Behm's actions in planting notes to the in- former under the stove were almost entirely lost on the audience and seemed extraneous to the plot. But for all that, it was obvious that Prison 71 was a "natural" for semi- nary production. It had an all male cast and required a small amount of excision and almost no rewriting. And above it, it was blessed with fast, con- stantly funny and interesting dialogue. The repartee was steady and sustained, not allowing the play to drag or sink.

Historic St. Mary's of the Barrens made history February 14 to 16 by holding the first seminarians' institute of the Confraternity of Christian Doc- trine. The purpose of the institute, organized and planned by Fr. Mar- tin, was to imbue the scholastics and seminarists with a sympathetic and ap- preciative understanding of the work of the Confraternity. During the week preceding the in- stitute we were prepared by hearing read in the refectory official documents relating to the CCD: the encyclical of Blessed Pius X on the teaching of Christian Doctrine.

It was an occasion for Father to see the set-up of the famous hospital which is under government control, while the Sisters remain in important capacities.

A very successful day of recollection was held for the men of the parish during March. It was well organized by Holy Name leaders and was conducted by Father Joseph Ryan, o0..Io, from the Cathedral, About 85 men attended.

The restored Easter vigil service was held for the second time in the parish, beginning this year at 10:45 P.M. Last year about 650 people were present,. FATHER LAMBERT i~W again had the honor of being the celebrant of the vigil, which was conducted by him alone.

Almost simultaneously with the an- nouncement of the construction plans for a new grade school at Miraculous Medal School parish, Montabello, Cali- fornia the dedication of a brand new St. Vinvent's grade school took place. The new school contains ten class- rooms, an auditorium, cafeteria, clinic and offices and a place for the chil- dren to play during the unfavorable weather. The actual dedication ceremony was performed by His Eminence James Francis ICardinal McIntyre assisted by Very Rev. Francis 0e•er. C. M. and Rev. John Q•ey, C. M., assistant pastor of the parish. The sermon in connection with the ceremony was delivered by Bishop Timothy Manning who praised schools such as St. Vincent's which give a firm basis of truth to its students who in turn give the whole national structure strength. This new school is part of the Pro- vince-wide building program which finds improvements being made in other parts of California as well as in such widely scattered places as Denver, La Porte, Chicago and Perryville.

Arht AtobtAO VOLUME 24 Perryville, Missouri, May, 1954 NO. 9 (0) Father Martin Moore Dies May 9 Father Martin V. Moore, C. M., died at five o'clock in the afternoon, May 9, at DePaul Hospital in Saint Louis. He was 78 years old and for the past few years had been almost totally blind. Heart disease was the cause of death. Father Moore, the eldest son of Basil and Emma Moore, was born on January 30, 1876, in Sereno, Perry County, Missouri. He taught school at Sereno before entering Saint Vincent's College, 'Cape Girardeau, Missouri. From there, he entered the novitiate at the Barrens, and, having pronounc- ed his perpetual vows, entered upon his scholastic career. He was ordained June 10, 1905, by the later Cardinal Glennon, in the chapel of the old Kenrick Seminary in Saint Louis. Father Moore taught at De Paul Uni- versity from 1905 to 1919, and then at Saint Vincent's College, Cape Gir- ardeau, from 1919 to 1922. In 1922, he returned to De Paul to teach and, in 1935, became superior of the house. He remained at De Paul until 1941 when he became superior of the Cape.
