What Prayer Can Do

rESUS LEARNED obedience by
J the things which he suffered"
Heb. 5:8) We can share his les
son. The hour of pain is not the
hour to begin praying; those who
have not learned prayer before,
will scarcely know how to pray in
a time of agony. Yet the time Of
pain is not the time to give up pray
ing. When the dark hour comes,
Jesus did not throw aside his faith,
he prayed more intensely than ever
before. Prayer does not explain
pain, much less explain it away.
Prayer does not always get
rid of pain, even though in
many cases the prayer OF
faith works cures where doc
tors fail. What true prayer
does always is to set the one
who prays in tune with the will
of God even when that will Is
not as our own.
Prayer does not bring us all the
answers to the riddles Of existence.
It does bring power to bear what
God sends us. For Gods answer
to those he loves is not always es-
cape, but it is always endurance.

Thoughts to ponder: The Church
offers the greatest opportunity of
helpfulness to our fellowman. We
are our brothers keeper. The ques-
ton which God asked Cain, "Where
is Abel, thy brother, that his blood
crieth unto me from the ground"
has thundered down the ages. The
echo has gone around the world,
and is still audible. It speaks to you
and me, saying-"Where is thy
brother? What about his condition?
What bout his environment?
What are you doing now-what
are you going to do in the future
about it? These questions are a
direct challenge to Christianity.
The church and the church alone
is responsible for the answer to
these questions.

GO JESUS PRAYED. Even in the

was covered with sweat. falling to
the rocky ground like dripping
blood. Never rose prayer from a
more tortured heart. And what
came of it? In one sense, the prayer
was not answered. The cup did not
pass from him, he must drink it
to the last bitter dregs. The prayer
did not remove the pain. Yet in a
deeper sense, the prayer of Christ
was fully answered. "Not as I will,
but as Thou wilt" he breathed.
The prayer that sets ones own

whatever His will may be, is the
prayer that always finds answer.

Corning Staff Studies
Plan 10 Send Pupils 70
Uncrowded Schools

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
said today he and his staff were
beginning study to see If it was
feasible to use buses to transport
children from crowded schools to
sections of the city where class
rooms were available.
Although the, Board of Educa-
ton has not asked DR.. Corning
to make such a study as yet, it
was a foregone conclusion that
this will happen because of the
interest of one board member,
Adelbert w. Lee, in the idea.
It was Mr.. Lee who first sug-
gested that the idea be explored.
Saturday he said he would pur-
sue the matter and see that. 1t
came to the official attention of
the board SO a study by DR.. Corn
ing could be requested.
Such a plan now is being used
in Detroit, where $500 children
are transported daily from crowd
ed sections pending completion
of buildings under construction
or in the planning stage. A sim
liar problem faces the Board of
Education here as more than 4 1000
children in the grade schools are
on part-time classes because of
the lack of classroom space.
In Washington, crowded schools
are mostly in the Northeast and
Southeast sections where housing
has mushroomed in the past few
years.
DR.. Corning has stated he is
fundamentally opposed" to bus
system in the city but reserved
final judgement until the matter
has been explored fully.
c. Melvin Sharpe. board presi-
dent, said the idea merited con-
sideration and that he had
written to Detroit school officials
for information on how that city's
bus program works.

|Humanism Is Order
Of Day. Pope Tells +.
Philosophers Farley
BY the Associated Press

VATICAN CITY, Sept. 26.-
pope Plus XII told delegates to the
International Congress of Hill
manistic Studies meeting here
that "humanism is the order OF
the day."
The congress was organized by
the French and Italian institutes
of philosophy. Representatives
from Great Britain. Spain, France,
Belgium. Argentina, Germany,
Venezuela. Canada. the United
States, Switzerland. Portugal and
Denmark are attending.
The pontiff received the dele
gates, mostly university profess
sors, last night. His discourse
was released by the Vatican to-
day.
The Pope said the Roman Cath
olic Church's social doctrine is
regulated by natural law, and
called for protection of mans
"primordial rights"
The Pope said:
If it is true. as it has been
justly said. that ideas-good or
bad - guide the world, there
should be agreement on the i'm
portance Of exchanges of views
among philosophers. to project a
ray Of light upon so many cur
rent questions, which many peo-
pie. above all the most incompe-
tent, speak with assurance and
decision.
"Humanism Is now the order of
the day without taking ac-
count Of the ephemeral opinions
which have arisen in many ages.
The (Roman Catholic Church)
does not admit that before God
man is but corruption and sin.
On the contrary. the original sin
has not intimately affected
(man's) aptitudes and forces, and
left essentially intact the natural
light Of his intelligence and his
liberty. Man, given this nature,
is without doubt wounded and
enfeebled by the heavy heritage
of a nature fallen and deprived
of its supernatural and prefer
natural gifts: it is necessary to
make an effort, natural law OBJ
serves-and this with the all
powerful help Of the grace of
Christ to live as the honor of
God and mans own dignity de-
mands.
Natural law! There is the
foundation up which reposes the
social doctrine of the church.
IF (the Roman Catholic
church, fights to conquer or de-
fend. her own liberties. it is also
for the true liberties, the
primordial rights of that she does
SO. In her eyes these essential
rights are so inviolable that,
against them, no reason Of state,
no pretext of the common welfare
can prevail.
IT this principle were but OBJ
served, what tragic catastrophies
and menacing dangers would be
avoided!

the country are affected by the
measure.
DECENTRALIZATION Presi-
dent Truman's announcement
about the atomic bomb blast in
Russia renewed talk on Capitol
Hill about decentralizing the Gov
ernment away from Washington.
Representative Patman, Democrat,
of Texas, and Senator Wiley, Re-
publican. Of Wisconsin, are the
prime. advocates of such move.
However, a lot of other law
makers pointed out that today no
place in the country would be
more immune from attack than
any other. Furthermore, they
point out that the Government
already is more than 80 per cent
decentralized, with a little less
than 10 per cent of the total num-
Der of Federal workers in Wash
ington. For example, the State of
California has practically as many
Federal employees as Washington.
REDUCTION - Latest Civil
Service Commission figures show
that Federal employment in
Washington decreased during the
last month by 2,100 employees.
The largest reductions were in the
Navy Department, and other de-
creases were in the Army Depart
ment, the General Services Ad-
ministration, and the Federal
Security Agency.
Federal employment will de-
crease still further here during the
next few months as the Naval
Gun Factory and the Alexandria
Ordnance Plant make additional
layoffs.
DISPLACED CAREERISTS -
The Civil Service Commission is
taking another step in its program
to find jobs for Government en-
ployes who are losing their jobs.
The commission has instructed
all departments and agencies to
review and strengthen, where
necessary, their own programs for
assisting displaced employees in
locating other jobs in the Govern
ment or private industry.
The commission has also as
signed one of its top officials,
Harold H. LEIGH, to serve as a
special iaison officer with the
various departments and agencies
to strengthen the program of find
ing jobs for these people.
The success of the program de-
pends on the cooperation of the
agencies, which heretofore, with
