spotted with Dick would immediately become hot copy. That was when Dick decided to bring his romance with Clara out in the open. He gave a week's advance notice that he wasn't taking any actress; he was taking his Clara. He realized that he could no longer hide his feelings toward her. He announced that he didn't J I Mil I M) Mil M inmiimiiNiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiii IIIMU'lllHi.lHIMll THE LENNON SISTERS (Continued from page 33) Lennons first said: "We are practicing Catholics — we go to mass, we pray, and we practice charity to all." But their many friends and admirers, not only of their own but other faiths, testify that this is not idle talk. Of the Lennons. they say: "Being a good Catholic and a good person go together . . . and they never act as if they had the exclusive rights to goodness." Kathy, Peggy and Janet, as well as Dianne and the other children, feel they are "very lucky" in their faith. "It was given to us like a present," Kathy summed up, "something we were given out of love, not because we did anything to deserve it." While the girls have treasured this gift of faith, and never taken it for granted ("we know how hard it comes to some people," Peggy has said) , they have never found it necessary to question the tenets of their religion or, for that matter, any religion. According to what they say, they have never felt a quake of doubt. And yet they have managed to avoid the slightest sense of smugness. For this, they are probably in debt to their mother, Isabelle ("Sis") Lennon. Faith and the security of her religion did not come "like a present" to her. As a child, she knew "the emptiness" of living apart from religious beliefs. There was also the unhappiness of being too young to understand what she was missing and how to go about bridging the gap to God. "Bill and the children are luckier than they actually know," she points out. "They may have problems, but they've never had to grope in darkness because, for them, there has always been the light that comes from faith." Though baptized Catholic, her mother's religion, Sis never really took part in her faith until she took instructions and was confirmed just prior to her marriage to Bill. Her father was Protestant, and her parents separated when she was very young. In this period of disappointment and unhappiness, her mother fell away from the Church. "I have an idea my mother suffered more than she might have ordinarily, because of her loss of faith. She had no rock to cling to . . ." This lapse has since been put to rights. When Dianne, eldest of the children and now retired from the singing group, was married, Isabelle's mother attended the wedding communion along with the entire family. She had reentered the Church a short while before. "I'd always hoped she would come back," says Sis, "but I also realized it care if the whole world knew Clara was his girl. Clara listened and smiled. He wasn't Dr. Kildare to her. He was Dick Chamberlain, the boy she met in a classroom and may someday marry. — Dean Gautschy "Dr. Kildare" time on NBC-TV, Thurs., is 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. — edt, that is! llllltllllttlltlltlllllilllllllllllllllllllllllltllllilllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIMillllllMIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINII llll IIM would have to be when she wanted it and felt the time had come. Bill and I never pushed her. We don't believe in that. Just as parents must teach their children the value of faith by setting a good example, so children must sometimes set an example for the parents. When my mother saw that coming closer to God could fill the void in her life, she took the proper steps. If Bill and I had any influence in this, fine. But she did it on her own, and that is the best way." Young Janet, flipping through a magazine, came upon the sentence, "Prayer is a cry of hope." It nestled quietly in her impressionable mind until, some days later, she brought it to the attention of her sisters. "Does it mean you always hope to get something when you pray?" she pondered. "Because I don't think that's right." "Oh, you don't," teased Peggy. "And what about all the things you've asked for?" "Maybe I ask for some things," allowed Janet, "but I always remember the story Daddy told us. You know, about the little girl who prayed for a doll and, when Christmas came, didn't get one. And her brothers poked fun at her and said, 'See, God wasn't listening.' And she replied, 'Oh, yes. God was listening, and he answered. But this time, He said no.' That little girl didn't pray only when she wanted something. She prayed mostly because it made her feel good. And I feel the same way." This led to a general discussion. Peggy said, "Praying is like having a heartto-heart talk with God. It's true, God doesn't answer you with words. But He does answer in His own way. There's nothing wrong in asking for things. Our Lord said, 'Ask and ye shall receive.' But a lot of times God says no because what you want isn't good or right for you. You may not know it, but God does." "Praying gives me strength and it makes me want to do something about my dreams and hopes," said Kathy. "I know I have to follow through, that just praying isn't enough. Some people think all they have to do in life is pray and lazy around. Then they complain when their prayers aren't answered. People ought to work hard for what they want, and show God they're really sincere and need what they're asking for. Then maybe they'd have better results from their prayers." "Why all this talk about prayer?" Bill asked, exchanging a look with Sis. "Communication with God, the Virgin Mother, the saints, why, that's fine. It makes your life richer even if you don't get what you ask for. But you'll notice that your mother and I really enjoy Start your Collection NOW!
