Rome, July G. (UP) - Strained
relations between the Holy See and
the government of Fascist Italy
were dangerously near the breaking
point again to-day as a result of
the Papal encyclical issued secretly
abroad over the weekend.
The encyclical-given out in Paris
last Friday night hours before its
publication in Vatican City the next
day-was a direct attack on the fas-
cist party for alleged attempts to
tear the youth of Italy away from
the Roman Catholic church.
Amusement and irritation were
expressed openly by fascist govern
ment authorities led by Premier
Benito Mussolini. The effect of the
document, sent outside the realm
of fascism to insure its publication
abroad without change, was electric
and a stiffening of the governments
attitude in the. already prolonged
dispute between the church and
state, was at once noticeable.

Readers, do you ever stop and
think what it has cost in the lives
of men who freely offered themsel-
yes, that the religion of the Re-
deemer of mankind should come
down the ages in its purity and to
be realized by those living today for
the simple asking.
Take the life of Paul. What did he
not suffer, which finally ended i'll
death, that the world should know
through his preaching of the gospel
there was One Whom he represent
ed, that had the power to forgive
sins? No difference how degraded
a being has become, you who sit in
your church pews and hear the
message from the pulpit eXpound-
ed, don't realize how much you owe
to men like Paul or his helpers who
met and conquered every obstacle
placed in their way, that every per-
son has the right to worship God
under their own vine and fig tree
and none dare to molest or make
them afraid. Think of it?
