FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING, October 29. Throughout the psalter runs the theme of Yahweh
as the great King, the true King of Israel. Many of the psalms refer to the King-Messiah to
come. Though Christ was Prophet, Priest and King from the time of His incarnation, He did
not exercise the fullness of His Kingship until the day of His glorification when the Father
lifted Him up and seated Him at His right hand. Here He reigns forever. “And of his king
dom there will be no end.” (NC Photos) __

Billy Graham will speak at a
special Convocation in his honor.
It will be the second visit of

the college gymnasium and the
event was acclaimed nationally.
Father Cuthbert E. Allen,
O.S.B., the Vice-President of the

Abbey students were deeply im
pressed by Billy Graham’s mes
sage and they have repeatedly
requested his return to the cam
pus.”
Hie evangelist was invited
back a number of times. He was
invited to give the Commence

cepted; but then was compelled
to cancel because previous ar
rangements had been made for
his England Crusade.

“There was a feeling of real con

Indian who told of the stagger

problems and then with a Nor

Giambalvo said he was also
very impressed with the caliber
of laymen taking part in the
congress. He said that with few
exceptions there were not pres

laymen, those who are typically
subservient to the hierarchy and
clergy and the others who are
“filled with good will but who
are angry.”
He said: “I’ve found the kind

Marriage Law
Topic of Study
At Rome Synod
VATICAN CITY — (NC) — A
perfect and satisfactory solution
to mixed marriage problems is
“not possible” as long as there
is division among Christians, a
bishop told a meeting of the
synod of bishops.
“But since the actual situation
cannot be regarded as satisfac
tory for the care of souls or for
ecumenism, we must spare no ef
fort to find the best possible so
lutions under the circumstances.
“It is advisable then,” the
speaker said, according to the of
ficial summary, “to keep certain
principles before us: the truth
about matrimony, derived from
revelation and the Church’s mag
isterium (teaching authority);
charity, which in the pastor
al preoccupations of the Church
merits special attention; the
Christian character of mixed
marriages between two baptized
persons; the significance of con
science and responsibility and,
lastly, the task of formation of
consciences.”
IN GENERAL, the 14 synod
members who spoke in the name
of their episcopal conferences
and another five cardinals who
spoke in their own name con
tinued the theme of previous
talks — the majority asking that
