Freshmen Study Liturgical Art, Church Unity Octave Sister Mary Janet, B.V.M., chairman of the art department, will talk on Symbolism in Liturgical Art, at the freshman assembly at 1 p.m. today, giving the first of two lectures on that subject. Last Friday, using the theme pray the prodigal children back to their Fa ther's house, seven freshmen speakers delivered expository addresses before the assembly, on the Church Unity oc tave, movement which began at Gray- moor in 1908 and which has spread throughout the world. Margaret Mary Trendcll presided as chairman and gave the first talk, after which she introduced Diana Satkus, Rosemary Brunst, Joan Klene, Rose mary O'Connor, Veronica Walsh, and Edna Mae Holm, who described the daily intentions of the octave. On Jan. 7, Sister Mary Donald. B.V.M., chairman of the classics de partment, indicating ways in which a Catholic family may become liturgical- minded, described her holiday visit with the Franz Mueller family in St. Paul. From their earliest years, the Mueller children are imbued with the idea of reviving old and winning a place for new religious customs in their family living. Each child has its own bap tismal robe, each takes part in pro cessions and religious ceremonies in the home, and each in turn is intro duced to the special observances of re ligious feasts. Recently come from Germany be cause of the religious persecution there. Mrs. Mueller has written a num ber of articles designed to make Catho lics aware of the opportunity lor family participation in religious observances. Sees Shintoism As Key to Jap Strength, Weakness In the national cult of Japan, Shin toism, or Emperor-worship, which teaches every day of every year that every Japanese should live and die for the Emperor, lies the explanation of the incredible toughness, treachery, and tenacity of the Japanese people, declared Jack Morrow, former editor of the Japan Times, at the assembly on Jan. 13. Drawing on his 20 years of exper ience as a journalist in Japan, Mr. Morrow predicted that an enduring vic tory over the Japanese will be realized only when the Allied Nations have introduced and developed in Japan the kind of education which will expose the fallacy of Emperor-worship and elevate the position of Japanese wom en. If history tells you anything, Mr. Morrow insisted, it tells you that no civilization will endure that does not place a high evaluation upon its wom anhood. You free American young women have no concept of the position of women in Japan they are slaves of their husbands and servants of their children. Because of the spiritual toughness and the tenacity of the Japanese, who are bred in a tradition of complete self-sacrifice and who prefer death to surrender, the Allies have, according to Mr. Morrow, done nothing to halt the Japanese except in the Battles of Midway and the Coral Sea. The Japanese are, furthermore, he observed, the most literate people in the world. He insisted, however, that the Japanese are on their own, and that their alliance with Germany is not essentially ominous. They want Asia for the Asiatics, and they have no intention of sharing their conquest with Germany. The breakdown of Shintoism, Mr. Morrow concluded, can come only when the people see that their emperor is not invincible, when they see their own country in siege, and when, in consequence, they lose faith in their pagan cult.
