REAL PERSON
BY DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSDIC!K
Loss of Positive Religious Faith
Brings Ruinous Personal Results

a high life on the basis Of q low
/ idea as to who he is, faces dis
traction at the center Of his en-
deavor. Whatever else religious
faith does, it sees man as essen
TALLY spirit and not matter; it
regards him as soul with a body
and not as body with accidental
mental and spiritual functions; it
grounds his best in eternal reality
and teaches him to esteem himself
as being of divine origin, nature,
and destiny. Great religion fur
nishes the most stimulating answer
ever given to the question, Who am
I? and the history Of religious ex-
perience at its best Is rich in Illus
trations OF Adler's statement, by
changing our opinion of ourselves
we can also change ourselves"
George Bernard Shaw describes
an experience Of his that took "a
mob Of appetites and organized
them into an army Of purposes
and principles" This process of
organization, essential to personal
Wilderness, always involves two
elements, discrimination and re-
nunciation and is never Self-pro-
duced. It takes a positive faith to
get it started. Some idea, cause, or
person captures our confidence and
devotion! we believe in some value
and give ourselves to 1t; and in
that act Of faith we practice dis
elimination in its most profoundly
satisfying form, and remuneration
of our faiths opposites follows with
a minimum of strain.
A constructive faith is thus the
supreme organizer of life, and, lack
ing it, like Humpty Dumpty we
fall and break to pieces, and the
wonder is whether all the kings
horses and all the kings men can
ever put us together again.

CORMLEY- BROPHY
HUDDLE RESUMED
Police Chief, Warden Com
fer Again Today Over
Department Changes

Naugatuek. Feb. 6Plans for
changes In the police department to
prevent future breaks here were
discussed by Warden Leo J. Brophy
and Police Chief John J. Gorrnley
Monday afternoon. Definite action
is expected at another meeting to-
day, Mr.. Brophy said. He added
Chief Gormley is cooperating to the
fullest extent and Is eager to halt
the breaks.
It is too early to say what specific
changes will be made but steps VIII
definitely be taken to improve the
situation, the warden added.
A thorough investigation IL being
conducted into the breaks Saturday
night at the homes Of Carl N.
Moore and John J. Carr, Summit
road.
Fun details Of The investigation
must be withheld At present because
to announce them would hamper
the probe, he said.
Assisting local police In the probe
IS State Trooper Carl Christian OF
the Bethany barracks, 3 fingerpwint
expert. Warden Brophy expressed
the belief local police had called in
the state policeman because Of his
specialist training.
Stricter supervision Of members
Of the police department, particulars
ly on the night shift. is being con-
sidered, the warden indicated. It
was reported that a sergeant may
be assigned to street detail at night.
The only ranking officer on duty
on the night shift at present is sta
toned at the desk.
Warden Brophy emphasized no
plans to add more men to the POI
lice force are contemplated.

Two u. S. Submarines
Lost; Total Now 19

Washington, Feb. 8 = (UPO -
The Navy announced today the loss
of two American submarines-the
1,523-ton Cisco and the 850-ton S-44
presumably while raiding Jap
anese supply lines in the Pacific.
The Cisco, new type, was COM
missioned last May and was under
the command of Commander James
w. Coe, of Richmond, Ind. 1t car
ried an estimated complement of
IS. The 300-foot undersea craft was
armed with 10 torpedoe tubes.
! The 1A-vear- old S-44, commanded
by Lieutenant Commander Francis
E. Brown, Reno, New, had an esti-
mated complement of As.
Today'S announcement brings to
10 the number of American sub
marines lost in this war.
Enemy ships sunk, probably sunk
and damaged by U. S. undersea
craft however number 572.
THE U. s. submarine Cisco and
the U. S. submarine S-44 are over
due from patrol and must be pre-
sumed to be lost.
%. The next of kin of person
mel in the Cisco and S-44 have beer
so informed"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-02-08

The failure to achieve, or the
loss of a positive constructive re-
ligious faith, is today having ruin
GUS personal results.
Irreligion leaves the best areas
of mans experience unaccounted
for. Every man has spiritual ex-
periences that materialism cannot
explain. On the basis of thorough
going irreligion, what made Plato
Plato, Beethoven Beethoven, Christ
Christ, is an accidental by-product
of merely physical processes
curious accident in a backwater."
The entire spiritual life of man,
then, involving whatever gives hui
manity such distinction and dignity
as it possesses, is a misfit In the cos
mos.
When any man feels that way
about life he faces Obstruction at
the very center OF his personality.
His best is cosmic mischance and
misf1t. He may decide to stand by
his best and he may do well at it,
but whenever he turns his thought
to the total meaning Of life, the
sense Of ultimate futility cannot be
escaped.
This disintegrating effect Of 1r-
religion becomes more manifest
when its ethical results appear. A
man Of sensitive spiritual life may
pass, by some combined emotional
and intellectual route, into a mate
rialtic philosophy, but there he finds
himself facing a profound personal
schism. What in his idealism he
thinks ought to be pulls in one di-
rection; what in his philosophy he
thinks really is pulls in another. He
thinks man ought to be a high
minded, spiritual being, but he thinks
man basically is an animal, acct
dentally produced.
This disintegrating effect Of IT.
religion is apparent when atten-
ton is centered on mans opin-
ion of himself. Schopenhauer, so
runs the story, walking down the
street, accidentally bumped into a
stranger. The stranger, irritated,
turned on the philosopher and ex-
claimed, who are you anyway"
to which Schopenhauer, lost in
meditation, answered, who am I?
How I wish L knew!"
The essence of every philosophy
appears in its reply to that ques-
ton, and in view of this fact the
relevance of ones total faith to
ones psychological health is OBJ
vious. A students editorial in the
Yale News says that atheism makes
us seem like ridiculous parasites
on dying speck of matter in in
finite space and infinite cold.'
To be sure, man has many ways
of sustaining his self-esteem. His
nee dof thinking highly of himself
is so urgent that, even when his
total faith would logically picture
him as a ridiculous parasite, he
manages, to make the most of every
minor justification he can find for
self appreciation.
In seeking satisfaction for that
desire man uses any support for
self appreciation he can find, but
the more thoughtful a person is,
the question. Who am I? springs
the more his ultimate answer to
from and shares the quality of his
total philosophy. To call man a
Child of God" is doubtless meta
phor, but so too is the statement
that man is "a bundle of cellular
matter upon its way to becoming
manure" and both affirmations IL
lustrate the necessary impact of
ones basic faith, not simply on ones
thought about the universe, but on
ones thought about oneself.
