ETERYRODY'S RELIGION

American churches engaging in religious refer
endum. They want to know what the American people
think of religions and the Bible and the church, and
submit this comprehensive list of questions:
'Do you believe in God?
"Do you believe in Immortality?
DO you believe in prayer of personal re-
lationshp with God?
"Do you believe that Jesus was divine other
divine?
do you regard the Bible as inspired in a that
no other literature could be said to be inspired?
"Are you active member of any church?
DO you regularly attend any religious services?
would you be willing to have your family grow up
in community in which there is church?
- "Do you regularly have family worship" in your
home?
Were you brought up in a religious home?
"Do you send your children to any school Of relig
~ious instruction?
do you think religion in some form is necessary
Element of life for the individual and the community"
Some Of the questions easy enough to answer.
Most of u.s. doubt, believe in God and Immortality.
But what kind of God and what kind of Immortality?
These conceptions have changed greatly
There will be difference regarding the divinity
of Jesus and the inspiration of the scriptures And
many who signify their belief in these of faith
will not mean the thing at all. "Divinity' and
-.inspration" are often qualified nowadays and need
definition
= Two questions much simpler and of per-
sona appeal. What citizen, however, careless he may
be himself about the religious side of his life wants to
live in a churchless community? And what thought
4fu persons believes that religion in some form is
not necessary element in the life of an individual or
community?

Reading of the big blizzard which struck the east
over the weekend causing of deaths, many in
Jures and considerable property damage, makes
wonder what the fellow who kicks about the heat in I'm
peral Valley during the summer time has to say
about it.
In July and August one all too frequently hears
somebody 'cussng OUT the valley notwithstanding the
fact that it is hot, and mighty hot, anywhere in the
north temperate zone during those two months.
When blizzard hits the east in the early part of
December, residents in that part of the country
make certain of cold and stormy weather until the lat
ter part of March, with wet weather to follow for
other part of March, with wet weather to follow for
another month or two
In all, the east (and the middle west be included
also) gets about six months of disagreeable weather
during the year Imperial Valley gets about two
months that can be classed disagreeable
While the easterner plods in snow, bask in sunshine

AS for the youngsters, those in the east have
tough time of it in winter. True the get out in the
open to certain extent, but it is uncomfortable for
them while the kids here remain out in the open
every day the year round without any danger.
Having lived in both places, prefer very strongly,

est equivalent to Central Park in New
York, is surrounded by high railings.
and all the entrances were closed and
locked, except for lorries bringing in

The situation in the printing indus.
try is not quite clear. The latest
statement, however, is that the special
agreements between the men and the
newspapers that bar strike or a
lockout, except with fortnight s
notice, are not effective In the present
case. and that the printers will cease
work at midnight. This will mean
that there will be no newspapers dur
ing the strike. The government is
prepared to meet this difficulty by TAX
ing over the broadcasting service for
the transmission of news and possibly
also will issue daily printed news

for this belief because he had informa
ton that many of the officials were
strikers or strike sympathizers.
'You men seem to be asleep, but
I hope to wake you up to a realization
of what your duties and responsible
ties are" the judge said he told them

that the court threatened him with
imprisonment for having reprinted in
his newspaper an editorial from the

Mcguire, it said. was subpoenaed as
witness in a case in which six other
men were charged with violating an
injunction by circulating certain hand
bills among striking employees of the
Illinois Central Railroad, and was
questioned during his testimony about
publication of the editorial, but no
threats were made.
Regarding disbarment of Thomas

merely suspended because he was be
lieved to have been in contempt of
