DR.. Reissig Urges
Cultivation of
Mental Resources
Provides Means TO
4 v0id Loneliness,
He Declares

Learning to live alone" in strange
surroundings is one of the most i'm
portant and difficult problems fac
Ing the people of today's shifting
world, DR.. Frederick Reissig, execu-
tive secretary of the Washington
Federation of Churches, declared
yesterday.
Speaking at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the Washington Zonta
Club, DR.. Reissig pointed out that IF
you don't know any one, no place
can be as lonesome as a crowd"
Calling attention to the hundreds
Of strangers now living in Wash
ington, he said that many of these
who had come from hometoWns
where they knew every one and
every one knew them" had not
learned how to adjust themselves to
the loneliness of strange city.
That's why st. EliZabeth's is get
ting so many new people from
Washington" he added.
The speaker warned that no mat
ter how much we may personally
feel a sense of security, none of us
knows where he may be the next
day and he advised individual cul-
tivation Of resources which will
make You feel you're never alone. y
1nterspersing his talk with human
interest stories to emphasize the
need of understanding for the lone
illness of others. DR.. Reissig told of
a soldier recently returned from the
Aleutians who described the loneli-
ness of one island where there are
no trees-nothing but sand and
wind"
IF YOU have someone there you've
been writing to once a day" he
quoted the soldier, write twice a
day The loneliness is terrible"
The speaker suggested that the
best defense against loneliness is
ito have something inside of you-
friends and memories of bygone
years, or the thoughts of great men
and women who have made history.
1t is ideas that make you never
alone" he added
While advocating cultivation of
qualities making possible life
"alone without loneliness DR.
Reissig stressed the Importance of
learning to live happily among
strange people.
Everyone Of us has an extra
responsibility to make others feel
at home" he added The world
Is now a melting pot where all races,
creeds and colors must learn to live
together"
The church must take a leading
part in teaching the world to live
together. he commented. 1T has
neutral concerns and common pur-
poses. People have got to learn to
work together and share together"
he continued, but every man must
bear his own burden The person
who has the best ability to live
alone is the one who has the finest
and richest contribution to make
10 his own business" he concluded.
The speaker, who came to Wash
hgton from Rochester, N. Y, last
fall, was introduced by Miss Eta
Mai Russell, executive secretary of
the Washington Council of Church
Women.
Miss Kathryn Fox, the club presi-
dent, presided at the luncheon.
