AN IMPORTANT DAY
"WHILE Australians are increasingly aware of their need to assist economically the developing countries, especially in Asia, it is encouraging to see a steady growth also in mission support from our Catholic people. Material prosperity without the leaven of the spirit could spell disaster."

1 Bishop Still Holds On RISHOP
JAMES E. WALSH, M.M., imprisoned in Red China since 1960, in a Christmas letter home asked for a new suit of pyjamas. Officials of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, more popularly known as Maryknoll, said the 76year-old prelate's letter was received by his brothers and sisters in America. "I had two very nice suits (of pyjamas) John (a brother) sent me in the monthly boxes," the Maryknoll bishop wrote. "But I have worn them to a frazzle. . . and now use the remnants of these good garments as a wash rag and a table napkin."

Bishop Walsh, who marked the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood as a prisoner in I965,, had received a letter from his family much earlier — and said he would read it again on Christmas Day. It will make me feel close to you . . . in spite of the miles that stretch between us," he wrote.
