Angela ThirkelVs New Novel Traces Trend in England Miss Bunting is the extraordinary elderly governess who, in Angela Thirkell's new DEPTH nove' f that name, stands as MCr,n a symbol of the England of another clay. Her work as governess has acquainted her with many of the distinguished old families, and now she sees a new order of things to come in the social as well as in the intellectual system of postwar England. In her training of Anne Fielding, the gentle, wise teacher prepares her charge to cope with the inevitable period of transition from old established standards of conduct to the trends of the new order in English society. Of Miss Thirkell's charming novels on the pleasant theme of English life, this is oca i Icm tne rst to deal w'tn Eng- KCMLI3IVI and at war The ,ocale ig the patriotic little town of Halbury in Baretshire. England, where tragedy breeds only faith and where everyone volunteers for any task to promote the war effort. Into the brave little community, peopled with representatives of traditional English coun try life, steps an industrialist, newly rich, self-made, boastful, self-assertive, but un mistakably progressive and eagerly ready to assist in community enterprise. In this man. oddly contrasted with the conventional old order, Miss Bunting sees and interprets the seeds of the new order in England. Capturing the essence of English life, cus- Find Christ In Europe's Needy In giving us His Mystical Body, Christ gave to us and to all people a guarantee of His constant and fraternal care. He put no limitations upon the membership He set up no geographic barriers His only request was. is. and always will be BE CAUSE VOL LOVE ME, SEE .ME AND LOVE ME IN OTHERS. Our unity and oneness in Christ is truly our most precious gift in life. Collectively. we are strengthened through our Brother hood in Him. We Mundelein students are definitely a determining factor in the life and growth of the Mystical Body. We, through our charity, can intensify the pulse-beat of this Body of Christ. We can give to the needy, the hungry, the poor, the dislocated of EUROPE and in these. His seemingly least brethren, we will find Christ. He taught us the act of supreme charity He gave His life that WE might live. Now He is asking us to give materially to the suffering members of His Body, that they may be revitalized. It is His love for humanity that moves Christ to appear in the form of one who is asking. Ami it is the generous Christ who returns 100 fold all that He receives. The starving children of Europe are one with us. Can we deny them that unity? Can we refuse them clothes and food? Can we permit the disaffection of so many children from Christ to be the great tragedy of OUR twentieth century ? Theoretically speaking, we say that one member of the Body may make up for what another member lacks. Now we can, we must speak practically. The members of the Mystical Body, in Europe, lack the very basic needs of everyday living. The drive for clothing and food will allow US to energize the Body and gladden the Heart of Christ. Our. opportunities to love and help Christ are as numberless as our opportunities to love and help others. HOW then, can our charity be bound in any way? There are four more days in the drive four days in which to contribute something that will bring a smile to a child's face. If we give, we can look up, with the child, into the smiling Face of Christ. toms. and traditions, the author injects suffi- Activity Is Remedy For Spring Fever Now's the time for a tonic It's spring, and quarterlies are over, and life is looking up but perhaps your college life is letting down.

Pear Tina, Thanks so much for helping me accentu ate the positive during Lent. Your letters helped to keep me aware of the need for preparing xoisely for Easter. And this year Easter morning will bring mure than the latest in spring fashions. It Ti'/// carry with it the grateful assurance that out oj darkness comes Life, out of sorrow comes Joy. lt is our first non-wartime Easter in four years a fact which, in itself, will lend joy and gladness to our Alleluias. ft is an Easter of hope fulfilled and of lore reaching realization. Through the long Lent of war, as through the shorted Lent of the calendar, we have learned the X'alue of prayer and sacrifice. Your letters helped to make those lessons real. Thank you And Happy Easier Duchess April- Past and Present One hundred and seventy-one years ago saw the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The Americans fought for and won their freedom, and the rights we enjoy to day are the result of the Declaration of In dependence drawn up at the opening of that war. The First Artillery fired the last shot of the Civil War, and Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox. on April 9, 1865. Thus slavery was abol ished and the states became united. Twenty-nine years ago today, the United States declared war on Germany, marking our entrance into World War I. We suc cessfully and courageously combated the evils of tyranny and aided in bringing peace to the world. Last April saw the crushing and final blows to end the worst of all wars, the war that has left the world scarred, embittered, and devastated. Now that April's here, our minds are filled with thoughts of peace and of prayer for the United Nations Organization, in whose hands our future lies. Let us thank God for the cessation of hostilities; let us work and pray for the making of a real peace. Let us consider our own part in the mak ing of a new world Now that April's here. Symposium Play Challenges Student Responsibility Pertinent for all college students of today is a play, The World We Won, written by L. F. Cervantes, S.J., and the Reverend Jj J. Walsh, S.J. The scene is laid in a student lounge and the characters are veterans of World Wa ll and college girls. Questions point up the theme of the symposium-styled drama. In the words of one character, these ques tions are: First of all, whom did we beat? How much did it cost to beat him? Whar have we learned? What do we do now? Is it all going to happen again ? To these ques tions, the students of today are demanding answers. The authors merit congratulations for highlighting the real drama of present-day living. They reveal that there is no fiction involved in the problems actually confront ing young people today. And they prove that the young people, themselves, can offer con- Ji gt; crete solutions to the problems that stalk the country, promoting disunity. Too often, students are not sufficiently concerned with the political, economic, social and religious conditions of the world that encloses their miniature society. Such problems are sometimes future tense to them. . . . . tomorrow is already here . . . the future has become the present . . . These lines from the symposium play embody the spirit of the dramatization; they speak of the students and they speak for the students. The World We Won may well prove the reveille awakening Catholic college students to a serious realization of their responsibility to the world around them. ) Fi of Bt( ar to : ar T rn ai le: ly h 1 ) a s; e ie MUNDELEIN COLLEGE Chicago, 40, Illinois Chicago's College For Women Under the Direction of the Sisters or Charity, B.V.M. gt; nt 1 h Entered as Secontl Class Matter Nov. 30, 1932; at the Post Office of Chicago, Illinois, under the Act of March 3. 1897, 1.75 the year.
