whom we wildly apprehend and
cordially believe in carries US
out of ourselves, incorporates
and blends our lives with theirs,
and transforms the impoverished
and solitary l into the enriched
and commingled We. No man is
the whole of himself; those to
whom he has given his faith are
the rest of him.
Lack of this experience leaves
one a sequestered, isolated self.
Full-groWn personality involves
the blending of lives, and this Is
possible only because we have
the capacity to believe in others

PauPs characteristic saying,
That Christ may dwell in your
hearts by faith" has important
doctrinal significance; TO the
psychologist it is an arresting
statement of indubitable expert
ence. When faith is strongly re-
posed in another person, it does
issue in blended life, so
merged that the one is indwelt,
enriched, and empowered by the
other.
Many people who are thinking
of themselves as starved for love
and SO are waiting for some
lucky romance or redeeming
friendship to come around the
corner, could nonetheless enrich
! their world of interpersonal re-
lationships by a constructive use
of their faith-faculty.
This world has some great
people in it to believe in. In
stead of being unhappy, isolated
selves, we can by faith become
effective, positive, June t
personalities in whom the best
souls of the race live again.

feated," dragging down with
them the bulk of the fighting
strength of the enemy's First and
18th Armies.

Divisions have been destroyer

report submitted by Eisenhow-

The equivalent of 20 Infan-

ated, he said, and a further IL
very badly cut up and have suf-
fered severe losses. Included in
this total of Infantry Divisions
are three of the enemy's crack

in those who have religious
faith" This statement one may
not use Unfortunately as an
argument for religion"
Religious faith does indeed re-
lease every sort of energy; it
can mass its powerful drive on
the Wrong side of great issues as
well as on the right; it has
backed idolatry, human sacri-
flee, and war; it Familiarity issues
in bigotry and persecution, and
has repeatedly made credulity of
false and harmful creeds a sac
red duty. That is to say, whether
intellectually true or false,
whether officially good or bad,
religious faith is powerful, and
in this potency it exhibits the
characteristic psychological eff
feet of all positive faith as a re-
leaser of personal energy.
An individual habitually feel
ing fed up with life, tired out
and done in, seeks a physician
who assures him that there is
nothing the matter with his
body in general or his nerves in
particular. He is an illustration
of the saying that "Tiredness
begins in the mind"
First he tried to use his in
tellect to solve his problem, but
the more he analysed his stu
ton the worse he felt about it
and the less he could do with it.
Then he tried using his will, but
that was like blowing with full
cheeks upon his own sails to
make the ship go-it got him no.
where.
The Liberation of such a life
from its tiredness and feeble
ness into the experience of re-
leased energy commonly waits
upon the awakening of the faith
faculty. An idea, cause, posi-
bility, or person captures the
man SO that something in which
he positively believes is put be-
fore himself, in the first place,
and when this happens. startling
releases of energy may follow
as though a seeming atomizer
had become a fire-hose.
The lonely individual, poor in
personal relationships, who
feels all shut up within himself.
The cure of such socially i'm
poverisheG people is commonly
thought Of in terms of the ten
derer emotions affection,
friendship, love which GER
tainly are Indispensable. Never
theless, our experience of per-
sonal relationship is primarily
enriched by the people in whom
we have faith. Faith is the
basic builder of personal fellow
ships.
Love is habitually overempha-
sized. Even in passionate ro-
nance, and in all dependable
marriage, family life. and
friendship, faith in the people
concerned is, in the long run,
the heart of success. One cannot
ultimately be happy in loving a
person in whom one lacks faith,
so that while romantic love may
launch a home, and strong, con-
tinuing love may be its driving
power, its very hull and keel are
the faith we have in one an
other.

CITY BUSES IN COLORED

For some time the colored people of
Meridian have enjoyed privilege that
we have never had and that is bus
service in the localities thickly inhab-

We presume that the present city

have in several sections of the city, in
thickly populated colored residential
sections, buses running regularly day
and night.
