that repentance brings forgiveness

CHURCH MOVE
BY InternatlonaI News Service


MEXICO CITY, Sept. 14.--Drastic
steps to break the deadlock between
church and state in Mexico win be
taken by the government shortly,
it was learned today on good au-
thority. The deadlock went into
effect August /.
The most probable action Of the
government will be, 1t liz understood,
to serve notice upon the Catholic
prelates of Mexico that unless they
devote the church buildings to the
holding of religious services, the
buildings will be taken over Tor
other uses such as schools, libraries
and government offices.
This notice, it was further learned,
would be accompanied by sufficient
time to permit the Catholics to con-
slider fully the gravity Of the situa-
ton which might follow the loss Of
all the church buildings throughout
the republic.

MY IaCnerB aILlJuOeS as LII dS
could judge, was a curious one.
His nature is peculiar; I never
understood 1t very well; always
wondered what was passing In his
mind, and why he did certain things
the way he did them; he might have
seen II would lead to trouble.
There were few actual quarrels
between mother and father on the
subject Of the church or the pas
tor; the QuarreIs were usually about
money or how us children were to
be brought up. Mother insisted I
should keep On at high school, and
father didn't think it necessary.
He had TO 80 to work AZ q young
boy. He didn't see why we should,
do differently. What was good
enough for him was good enough
for us.
Parents Didn't Get Along
Mother used to be Wild about
that. she used to say should
keep on at high school till I was
graduated, and stay away from
work that might bring In q few
poor dollars week, even Il she had
to go out scrubbing or cooking in
somebody's family to keep me there.
And mother won. Mother always
won. She was positive In charac-
ter and couldn't Be walked over.
For years my parents were out
Of sympathy and almost like stTang-
ers. And yet that isn't quite true
either, for mother was great
stickler for our being respectful and
obedient to father. She was fond
Of him, guess, In q way. Any
how, she knew she owed him
certain kind of loyalty IL nothing
else, and although they got terribly
on each others nerves and went
their separate ways as much as
possible, there weren't any real
battles between them, al has been
ridiculous1y said In some newspaper

: / confess saw mothers side

] thought alike about practically
everything. don't believe father
intended to be cruel, but he must
have felt mothers indifference and
disappointment in him, and her
contempt for his lack OF ambition
and get-up-and-get, and he liked
to tease and annoy her sometimes.
He has irritating ways OF saying
and doing things and if you ask
him to stop, instead Of seeing you
aren't In any mood for Stiffness,
he goes right on till you're wild.
LOnged to Talk to Corpse
lie mother used to slap back"
sometimes, who can blame her.
1 certainly never did. There are
limits to everyone's patience and
endurance. hated to see her
flare up, but once or twice have
heard her turn on him In despera-
ton and say:
''Why, I'D give more for Mr..
Halls little finger than for your
whole bOdy!"
And I couldn't feel as shocked
as you might expect me to.
You see, loved MIR, Han myself
so much. For q long while after
the murders I had the strangest
feeling Of wanting to 60 out to the
cemetery where he is buried, and
IneeI down and talk to him.
II I could have dug into the
ground and drawn him from his
very grave and put my arms around
him and loved him, it would have
been q relief.
It is a wild idea. But you get

think Of!
