Rockefellers (through their

a custard pie right in the face
of the Morgan banking outfit!
Why, if the Chase National
turns "square" and removes
itself from security companies
(the banks roulette wheel) it
will be a death blow to modern
banking.
Imagine banks just having to
live on interest alone.
Removing their security or
holding companies is like tax
away from a crap shooter.

II. Recognition and maintenance OF
the rights and responsibilities of free
speech, free assembly, and a free
press; the encoura cement OF free COM
munication of mind as essential to
the discovery of truth.
Not many years ago such state
ment of principles would have been
denounced as radicalism,-the dan
gerous philosophy of a Marx or
Lenin. Today, however, its frank
ness and courage is being cheered by
churchmen everywhere. Professionals,
Catholics, and even non-Chrlstlans.
1t is being praised as marking great
advance in the practical application
of Christianity, and truly it does. The
| creed" clears a common ground on
which all sects and factions can unite
| for a program of social and economic
reformation.
If any movement can bring the re-
ligious forces of the nation together
in demand for justice and humanity
among men, that movement is good
one. The Federal Council of Church
es has undertaken to foster such a
movement as one of its tasks. 1t has
brought together leaders in many de-
nominations, and has won the praise
of others. The multiple division and
unit isolation of the Christian church
in this country has in the past great
ly detracted from its potency to bring
about social reform. In the field of
religion, as elsewhere, there is
strength in unity. AS the Federal
Council of Churches has brought
about unity, not necessarily unity OF
creed but unity of purpose, the capa-
city of the Christian churches has re-
suited in the adoption of liberal so
cial and economic policies. The so
cial creed" adopted by the council al
Indianapolis leaves few of the major
problems of the day untouched. Its
first plank,-"Practical application Of
the Christian principle of social well
being to the acquisition and use Of
wealth, subordinatiOn of speculation
and the profit motive to the creative
and cooperative spirit" -breathes
the progressive philosophy that in {
. civilized world property rights should
be subordinated to human rights
From such beginning, the "creed's'
, liberalism on such matters as labor
, agriculture, war and civil liberties
can be taken for granted.
| The Christian church in Amerfc;
| is waking up. 1t is waking up to new
: responsibilities and to new concerl
for the welfare of all the people, tenn
! poral as we'll as spiritual. If thi
trend continues, the current tall
about the "decadence of religion" will
: prove false. If the church keeps pac
with the liberal, humane thought Q
the day, it will thrive as grea
| social and spiritual force. If it fail
: to do so, it will be on the road back

BEROUN DRAMATIC CLUB
TO PRESENT PASSION PLAY

1t is announced that the ST. Joseph
Dramatic Club of Beroun, to more fit
tingly observe the nineteenth cente-
nary of Christ's crucifixion and the
resultant Jubilee Year, is prepared to
stage the famous three-act passion
play of Robert Hugh Benson entitled
1.-The Upper Room"
The cast for this sacred drama has
been carefully selected and total OF
twelve persons play the major roles
of the play. but this number is greatly
augmented by considerable back-stage
acting and the assistance of the choir
which with it's music lends to the
effectiveness of the production.
The actors will all appear in the
old traditional types of Palestinian
dress prepared specially for this play
by some skillful ladies of the parish.
The stage also is equipped with spe-
cial electrical fixtures to produce the
desired effects of storm, etc.
The story of the play deals with
those momentous incidents of Christ
passion where one is taken for exam
pie to the Cenacle of the Last Supper,
where one witnesses the despair OF
betraying Judas, the repentance OF
Peters denial, the devotion OF Marie
Magdalene, where we are presented
with the scene of Christ's suffering
and death and where through it all
the presence of the sorrowful Mother
Mary is near.
Palm Sunday, April 9, at 300 ano
7:45 p. m. and Good Friday. April IA
at 7:45 are the dates set for the per-
Torrance of this most stirring theme
that no Christian should fail to see

with the times.
