But apart from the intrinsic value of his writings, which was inestimable, Albertus Magnus re­ futed that ever popular falsity that the Church and science are op­ posed. By his life, work, and teach­ ing he indisputably demonstrated that not only could there be no conflict between faith and science but, on the contrary, they mutual­ ly assist in the pursuit of Truth. Accordingly Albert set out fear­ lessly in the quest of the secrets of nature with the certain knowl­ edge that they could in no way be in opposition to the revealed truth since God, the Author of both, is Absolute Truth and cannot con­ tradict Himself. Albert explored the entire field of knowledge, ris­ ing from the knowledge of the creature to the knowledge of the Creator. Truly then, has he been called the “ Great” for he was “ Great in natural science, greater in philosophy, greatest in theol- ogy.” St. Albert— Philosopher might be remembered as a Domini­ can of the Middle Ages, who, in (Continued) the midst of his many duties as a religious, as provincial of his Order and opportunities in Aristotle's in Germany, as preacher of a cru­ thought, but, at the same time, de­ sade, as bishop and Papal legate, claring Aristotle “ a man subject found time to study and as a con­ to error,” Albert collected the sequence, composed a veritable en­ Graeco-Latin works of Aristotle, cyclopaedia, purified and corrected translated and corrected them, and, the doctrines of Aristotle and made as Ueberwig declared, “became the them do service in the cause of re­ first scholastic who reproduced the vealed truth, refuted three major whole philosophy of Aristotle in anti-Christian schools of thought sysytematic order, with constant of his own day by showing the reference to the Arabian commen­ harmony and distinction between tators, and who remodeled it to truths naturally knowable and re­ meet the requirements of ecclesi­ vealed truths, by arousing adher­ astical dogma.” ence to the doctrines of individual immortality and responsibility, and Had Albert’s work ended there, by exposing the fallacies and con­ had he but confounded and refuted comitant evils of pantheism.

Albert is rightly desig­ nated as the first eminent Scho­ lastic as his pupil, St. Thomas, is properly termed the Prince of Schoolmen. Since Scholasticism is the system of thought which holds the highest place in all Catholic philosophical schools, it seems most fitting that we here pay a special tribute of praise to Albert for his great contribution to Scholas­ ticism, which is a rationalistic movement in the sense that rea­ son is to be used in the elucidation C lass Photographer of spiritual truth and in defense of the dogmas of faith. It is dialec­ tics applied to the study of nature, of human nature and of supernatu­ ral truth.

His untiring zeal for the development of human knowledge and education spurred the schoolmen of his time to greater efforts. His own pure and holy life, seventy long years spent in the service of God, preach­ ing, studying and teaching men to live as Christ would have them live, inspired all who knew him to a deeper love and service of the True King. As Friar Preacher, to his care was confided the new foundation in Germany as well as the training of St. Thomas, recognized by many Ryan Catering Co. as the greatest intellectual leader of modern times.

Hurling himself into the seat he began whimperingly to ATTORNEY-AT-LAW start the car when he noticed for the first time the black thing he carried.

A famous modem 34 Franklin Street Providence, R. I. novelist insists that “ humility and patience are excellent attributes in New York Factory— Stamford, Conn.

It is not difficult to appreciate the attitude of the circus clown who, behind his 47 Exchange Place Providence, R.

The wail of the theatrical pro­ ducer is that the truly artistic pro­ duction is not supported by the public, and the hopeless struggle of the Little Theatre movement indi­ cates that the same thing holds true in the moving picture realm. It is tragic that this same com­ mercial spirit should prove such a powerful force in the field of liter­ ature, but such apparently is the case. Publishers are business-men and those men who can please the public are the writers who collect the cream from the literary crop.

It would be interest­ ing to study a statistician’s com­ pilation of the corruption caused by degenerate and obscene literature. There is irony in the fact that many of the writers of this style of literature have virile minds and vivid styles which they use to sneer at tradition, to scoff at virtue and convention and to elaborate on smut and scandal with an abandon that knows no bounds.
