dangers that confronts anapostolate dealing with social problems isthat the preoccupation with the social ordercan become as complete in the apostle as it isin those who seek their beatitude in it.Socomplex a thing is the modern social scenethat it exercises an enchantment over thosewho work against it as well as those who movewith its tide.Hate can be as binding as love.  \nThe fanatical prohibitionist is as much a slave to drink as the chronicdrunkard.The complete revolutionary is one with the reactionary inthis:that they both are hypnotized by the performance taking place inour daily three-ring circus.  \nThe feast of Christmas should shake us loose from the fascinationof the passing parade.Our idealism no longer should focus throughthe eyes of Adam,the man pre-eminent,the dominator of the world,but rather,since this great thing has happened,we must look upwardand outward through the eyes of a Divine Infant.From His mangerChrist saw a world alive with God.  \nThe Christ-Child is the center and periphery of a new order.Never again can the world of man be the same,and things are no longerwhat they seem.What was once but a stable for animals,is now aTemple of God.What was once merely an ass is now a sacramentalreminding men from henceforth of the Natal Vigil.What was once ashepherd is now a Prince,brother to Christ the King.What was oncea minor town of a minor tribe is now the seat of Christendom,the rootsite of God's new order for His children.What was once steel,or wood,or clay,now is gold to be beaten into chalices and mirrors to cup andreflect the glory of the Word Incarnate.  \nWhy try to regain the heights of Eden now that Christ has liftedus up above the realm of man and set our feet in the foothills ofDivinity?We have been adopted into the Divine Family by the mag-nificent blessing of Christ's becoming our blood Brother.It would bethe most false kind of humility now to try to be a nice sort of homosapiens,to regain a merely human dignity,to reorder the world underthe dominion of human reason.To do this would be to besiege a fortressalready taken.It would be a false piety to call Adam \"Father,\"and tostand in awe of the mystery of man or the works of men,now that theCreator has condescended to make Himself one with us.  \nINTEGRITY·1  \nYes,we have men and the works of men,their laws,their orders,and their sciences,and these things are jewels.Now that Christ is withus these are jewels at the disposition of a Prince.They are jewels in thecrown of a King Who brings a new order to a new Principality.  \nFrom now on,whenever men place one brick upon another itwill be in affirmation or in denial of the God-Man.The denials will nomore detract from His Glory or His Authority than does a shadow lessenthe power of the sun.From now on,the light is there in the fourcorners of the sky,and there is no darkness that can ever put it out.  \nTHE EDITORS  \nThe editors and staff are more than happy
