DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR

VISIT TO DOMINION

WELLNGTON, July 16,

The Rev Cyril 0. Martindale, S.J., M.A., one of the most distinguished .scholars of the Roman Catholic Church, has arrived from London,'and with Bishop Cleary, of Auckland, has begun a comprehensive motor tour of the North Island. Later lie will proceed to Sydney for the World Eucharist Congress. ,

, Interviewed, lie remarked on the growth of tolerance among Christian people. For instance, the Salvation Army always notified the parish priest when they had Catholics in their institutions. , The great problem confronting the Christian Church was how to stop the leakage between school and later life. This was world-wide. Even in traditionally' Catholic countries, 1 where great explosions of ,devotion took place the clergy were confronted with it and realised that something on new lines would have to be done to staunch the flow of precious blood, which was pouring out unredemptively from Christ’s body, the church. Many young people, wlio A ever set a. foot in a church, had thei.’ 1 minds fixed on radio, or motoring, mid. in their spare time thought and read of nothing else. They were dead to all spiritual values.

Father Martindale is keenly interested in Catholic University Students’ Guilds, which have been organised on a.n international basis, with a view to creating a Catholic atmosphere for students who live and work in circumstances which, if not definitely nnti-Catliolic are at least non-Catholic, nnjil usually non-Chris-tian.

On the voyage from London he went down into the stokehold and heard the stokers’ confessions. Ho also celebrated Mass for them at d a.m. He finished two hooks, wrote songs for the Flock House hoys and was a general favourite among the passengers of all classes.
