Robert Wesselman March 18 and 19. pastor of First Presbyterian chancellor. The exhibit moved Lay Leaders Hear Plan For 1967 World Meeting VATICAN CITY Pope Paul VI, speaking to Catholic lay leaders preparing for the world congress of the lay apostolate, returned to his constant theme that the chief task of the postconciliar period is the inner personal renewal of each Christian.

He also warned against "sterile restlessness" and urged "constructive collaboration" with the Church. His listeners, about 60 in all, consisted of members of the drrective council and experts, of the Permanent of International Congresses of the Lay Apostolate. Among them in the Hall of the Throne was Martin Work, executive director of the National Council of Catholic Men in the U. S. After- speaking of Pope John XXIII's "brief but intense pontificate." and the ecumenical council he convoked, Pope Paul continued: "Taking in our hands this heavy heritage, we have been able to bring this immense undertaking to a conclusion, thanks be to God.

But if the work of the council Fathers has finished, its implementation is beginning. And it is to that implementation that you intend to consecrate yourself generously, in preparing for the coming world congress of the lay apostolate which will be held i in 1967. The council, in fact, has aroused in the Church a renewed awareness its nature and its mission. It has given valuable guidelines for the responsible participation of all members of the people of God in. this salvitic mission confided by Christ to His Apostles at the end of His earthly life.

"Preparations for the con- NEGRO EXPOSITION Althoff High was host March 11 and 12 to the Exposition on the American Negro. Catholic groups cooperated with civic organizations in presenting the NUNS' ROLE IN RENEWAL ESSENTIAL -A bishop here called on nuns and other Religious to fan the flames of renewal in the Catholic Church. "Religious play such an important role among the People of God that those flames are in danger of only smoldering unless they are enkindled by the witness and the stimulus of the Religious," Auxiliary Bishop Edward A. McCarthy of Cincinnati said. The prelate spoke to 350 re-ligious superiors and other officials of Sister-staffed institutions at a meeting of the Southern Ohio Sister Formation group.

He said Religious are obliged to become equally familiar with' each of the documents of the Second Counciland not merely with that on the Adaptation and Renewal of Religious Life. The group includes communities in Ohio, Indiana and northern Kentucky. Emphasizing that the work and documents of the council are important for you," Bishop McCarthy continued: "In the past, we clergy and Religious guilty of a certain isolationism, a kind of snobbery. This led us to identify the things in which we differ from the laity as being essential to the Christian way of "We should appreciate the greater importance of that which we share with all the People of God--baptism, supernatural life, redemption and our eternal destiny. Neigher the constitutions, nor the customs, nor the ascetic practices of religious life are of prime importance, but rather the liturgy, the Word of God and the love which all Christians share," he declared.

gress now will offer, through meetings which are foreseen on the various continents, a providential occasion for Catholic laymen, in the diversity of their races, cultures, social situations and states of life, to discover still further what is the vocation of every baptized person to the apostolate, and what is his conscious and active engagement. in the tasks of the postconciliar period's demands on him. "For it is not a matter merely of collecting and spreading the council's teachings, but of transforming into the image of the conciliar Church, renewed in its prayer, in the expression of its faith and its hope and in the clarity of its 2,500 Expected At '67 Congress Of the Laity ROME About 2,500 lay persons from all parts of the world are expected to attend the International Congress of the Lay Apostolate in Rome scheduled for October, 1967.

In that way each Catholic will be able to help his brother believe in Christ and to recognize Him in His Church." The Pope spoke of the "state of soul with which the lavman must consecrate himself to his task." He said: "What the Church expects of him is not a negative attitude, an arbitrary disputatiousness, a sterile restlessness, but, quite the contrary, an entirely positive comportment, a constructive collaboration a responsible sense of engagement. "The postconciliar period undoubtedly must raise some question about certain forms of the apostolate and stimulate in this domain, as in all others, the necessary 'aggiornamento, the indispensible adaptations and the new undertakings called for by the needs of the present time But who does not see that this updating is not an indictment?"
