PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Hours of Service

Evening Worship 7.O0
Last Sunday morning the pastor
discussed whether religious belief
was scientifically reasonable. In his
remarks he reviewed the scientific
method as used in arriving at all
knowledge. He showed that faith
was the very essence of the scien-
lists procedure. He pointed out
that every fact we possessed was
somewhere touched with a mystery.
but that in the pursuit of knowledge
we never threw away facts because
of mystery but that we treasured
them and built our theories upon
them until the mystery was solved.
The same method is applicable to re
ligious belief and should be honestly
applied. Next Sunday morning
Scientific Belief in God" If you
are a seeker after truth you will find
help in these sermon-lectures. If
you have been reading literature
that has undermined your faith you
will find bed rock in these sermons.
The young people of the church

Weekly Letter.

Dear Girls: The day on which we
were TO leave Budapest dawned 50
beautifully clear that it tore our
hearts TO have TO say goodbye to the
picturesque city on the Danube.
1t was SO delightfully."- sunny and
calm that we decided we'd try an air.
plane again-there's a fast one from
Budapest to Vienna. 1t seemed like
an excellent idea to avoid a long sail
up the Danube, and so we prepared
for flight with great enthusiasm.
The plane few at 8 Pm, and about
? o'clock the sky turned a doubtful
shade of gray and all was not SO well.
BY the time we reached the hangar
everything locked very gloomy in
deed. A few hundred clouds had
made their appearance, the wind had
come up unexpectedly and the air
plane locked so dreadfully small. Then
we learned to our inward horror that
instead of a dozen people ptlfng into
a nice, big, comfortable machine and
all going safely to Vienna together,
we were to 60 In two's-each couple
having a private airplane. That
seemed very depressing.
However, the unfortunate youth
who had undertaken TO see me back
to Vienna safely helped me into our
private egssheli. and off we started.

Encouraged by this news, ] sat
tight and watched the good old earth
rAcede into the distance. The steady
motion of the old ship had almost
succeeded in soothing my nerves
when q dreadful shiver ran through
the blamed machine--we paused for
an instant, and then, with sicken-
ing iureh, shot downward. All, how
the crimes of a lifetime flashed
through my mind.
! turned to the pilot as the plane
steadied itself, and he shouted re-
assuringly: There's a heavy storm
coming up-I had to get out of it's
way"
From that time on the flight was
just a merry little chase, with Old
Man Storm trying to catch US, and
we dipping and plunging and careen-
ing, just succeeding in getting out
OF its way. What ride.
Sometimes we were so near the
dear old terra flrma that had an
Impulse to reach out ana grab the
nearest church steeple- and hang on.
At other times all we could see of
the blessed land was sort Of hazy
outline borne through the clouds be-
lcw US.
After about three hours of this
sort of torture, the machine gave a
gasp, and the sound of the motor died
away with a wistful sigh--by this
time 1 was too far gone to care, so
/ Just sat back and watched the pilot
tumble agitatedly for something, and
I wondered why in the world he
should take all that treuhle-the end
was so near, he might as well have
rest before 1t came.
But in the end we got to Vienna
just two hours late, and the pilot told
me with great complacenoe that it
was the worst ride he'd ever had on
that route. l assured him / was de-
lighted to have been with him during
such an important period of his life
Best Of luck, MIMI.
