This boy was st. Patrick. Many
historians have given different
dates and places Of his birth, but
one OF the most reliable sources
gives his birth in the year 306 IN
Dunbarton, Scotland. 1t was about
the 400 that st. Patrick was taken
by a barbarous horde and sold as
a slave to wander as an outcast
in the bleak hillsideS Of western
Ireland. Though torn from the bos-

Politics

More than a passing interest is
said 10 be shown by retired fireman
Daniel Kinnane in the Democratic
nomination for representative this
year. And what's more the rumor
is that he would like to battle Rep
resentative and County Commits
sioner Daniel ]. Mahaney for the
right to run for this office, Both
are Brooklyn boys and oddly enough
both were more or less united in
the initial political effort made by
Representative Mahaney. That was
back in 1890. Prominently identi-
fed with the first victory celebra-
ton for the Brooklyn representa-
tive was Mr.. Kinnane longtime
friend and associate in the Brook
Ign Athletic Club. All Of which
makes residents on the other side
Of the Naugatuck wonder what sub
stance there Is to these claims that
Representative Mahaney will ind
opposition for the Democratic
nomination particularly when he
has virtually completed eight teams
at Hartford and Is the veteran In
Democratic ranks in the House.

Representative Joseph E. Talbot
isn't going to have his position on
the forthcoming COP. nominA-
tions regarded as anything but
definite. Once again this past week
the Naugatuck Congressman took
occasion to notify the public and
also his party leaders that he Is out
of the Congressional race, but defln-
itely In line for the gubernatorial
nomination. All Of which gives the
party considerable time to think
about the situation here in the
Naugatuck Valley, but doesn't as
yet provide a likley candidate with
the color and drawing ability at
the polls TO compare with Repre-
sentative Talbot. There have been
many outstanding Naugatuck VAL

such as Federal Judge J. Joseph
Smith. the late Congressman Glynn
of Winsted, E.W. Co.'S, also of this

Democratic leaders haven't ia

Waterbury will probably lose q
delegate when appOrtiOnment for
the state, congressional, and shrie-
valty conventions Is made this
year. Such apportiOnment Is bas-
ed on the cOmmunity's vote In
the last presidential election. Wa

from that In 1910 and this will
mean the difference between as

this--twice the number Of repre-
SentativeS In the Legislature plus
one delegate for every thousand
votes In excess Of 1000 cast at the
last presidential election. A vote
Of 500 or more Is sufficient to
guarantee one delegate. In 1910
the Waterbury vote was 42,715,
but In 1944 II was 42,S43. Drop

right now it's hard 70 determine

Of the "easy religions" though we
hadn't used the phrase.
1t goes to show how little we
understand one another, and how
much there is in the point of view.
There are, OF course, easy-going
people in all denominations, just as
in all denominations there are
earnest souls whose religion is the
supreme and dominating thing in
their lives.
True Christianity is not an easy
religion. Jesus never offered His
disciples ease or pleasure. He Of
fered them joy.
He babe them in a very dark
hour to be of good cheer. He spoke
of rich rewards of service II the
Kingdom of Heaven. But He always
spoke of sacrifice, of losing ano

eyes of the world were greatly tt

of the Kingdom as a pearl of grea'
price, which one should be willing
to sell everything to buy.

Sunday School Lesson

M part of life free from the pres
ence of God and the obligation to
serve Him.
In this Jesus fulfilled the law
and the prophets. He gave HIS
followers no formal tasks and set
up no artificial observances or
duties. He demanded no allegiance
to Himself, except in the same way
that He gave allegiance to the
Father. But He insisted upon loyal
ty to the Truth.
There is no halfway place in
Christianity, and that is why sc
many processing Christians never
find either ease or happiness in
their religion. 1t is in the lives Of
those who have given themselves
fully to Christ that the power,
beauty, and true satisfaction OF
the Christian way are found and re-
vealed.
