CATHOLIC LIFE,a variety of material is ebtained,avariety of work is done,and a varietyof experiences occur to those doingthe work.In this issue,for example,photographer Jim Morey experiencedthe pleasure of a Sojourn to NewOrleans,to visit its beautiful SaintLouis Cathedral,and the Cathedral'speople.So warm and human was hisexperience,in fact,that one of hisphoto captions warmly and humor-ously reflected:\"Small cherub on theright of the aisle surveys passingtourists,and keeps an eye on thepoor box for Father Julian.”  \nQuite the opposite,however,wasthe experience of Gordon Blake,ayoung writer whose Twenty-FourHours on Skid Row were hardly warm...or very human.Depriving himselfof money,identification,even ciga-rettes,he dressed in the shabbiestclothes and stepped into a cold win-ter morning to witness for himself  \nthe pitiful world he describes in hisarticle.And it was not a happy expe-rience.But then all of this,you see,makes up CATHOLIC LIFE.  \nA CHILD
