While men are urged to make the week end retreats, Archbishop Curley said last night it is not the desire of the clergy to take them away from the world, but rather to “send you back to it as better men, stronger men, as men % greater potentialities.” Urges Retreats for Men. “Today, more than ever before,” the archbishop declared, “we need men of principles, men of character and men with the courage to do their duty as Christians and as Christian citizens. I feel that the retreat movement gives to the country that kind of men.” Urging men to make the retreats, Archbishop Curley said that despite the | 20 centuries of work which the Cath- olic Church has done, there is today a profound ignorance of the church | _——— I throughout the world. It is the duty of | ° ° Catholics, he said, to give their faith | | to other men and this can be accom- | s plished_infinitely better through lav. | §i | —— professional advancement, as is the pur- pose of most gatherings of the sort, but w s for the purpose of developing “the Laymen's League for Retreats as an or- ganization that will help in the upbuild- ing of a law apostolate.” Mr. Woodlock reviewed briefly the history of the laymen’s retreat move- ment as it is exemplified at Manresa. He traced its development from its in- wception by two youths in New York 20 years ago, when the first retreat wi held in January, 1809, at Fordham Uni- versity, on through the first retreat in the original retreat house at Mount BANQUET 1S GIVEN " FOR ARCHBISHOP League of Laymen’s Retreat ; Honors Most Rev.

Archbishep Curley prefaced his ad- dress with an appeal on behalf of the Community Chest drive which opens | | in Washington Sunday. He outlined the merits of the unified system of giv- ing to charity and declared that since on their best judgment, the Catholic ‘welfare organizations of the city had entered the Chest and given their pledge to its support, it was up to the Catholic men and women of Washing- ton to keep that pledge by contribut- ing whole-heartedly to the drive. He concluded his brief appeal with counsel to ignore the “knockers” who oppose the Chest movement, but to pay real attention to the “knockers” who come to your doors next week for contribu- ns.
