Arizona sun., 1949-12-09

II mas Deen SAID, is
the ''man who discovered the in
dividual." But 2700 years after his
time, the individual needs redis-
covering. Even in the church. some
people live and act as if Jeremiah's
discovery had never been made.
A Man Stands Alone
THOUGH JEREMIAH was
"A priest and aristocrat by birth.
his own class disowned him. The
story in Jeremiah rs shows dram
atically why this was. He predicted
doom for his nation, and since his
own "upper-bracket" people were
the nations leaders, they con-
Sidered Jeremiah's attitude not
only unpatriotic but downright
personal insult.
If it had been left to the
priests and the official prophets,
the day of Jeremiah's sermon
at the temple would have been
his last. To put it bluntly. the
difference between Jeremiah
and all the other prophets"
and priests could be put this
way: He knew the nation was
too rotten to last, but they
thought it was plenty good
enough.
They probably could have agreed
with him that a wicked nation de-
serves divine punishment; only they
could see nothing wrong with judah.

thought the Temple, with all that
went on in it, was much more I'M
portant to God than it really was
The whole business-Temple. white
robed priests. chanting choirs, the
burning of animals, the incense
and the mystic ights-it had be-
come in their eyes sort of I'M
mense good-luck charm. They
thought: Surely God will not de-
stroy a city that contains this
Temple!
But jeremiah saw through
that mistake. Institutions, rit-
uals, organizations, ceremonies,
sacraments, these are all simply
means to an end, they have no
value in themselves. Every
thing we call "public worship"
is good only If and SO far as it
lifts and cleanses the spirits Of
the worhipers and brings them
nearer God.
The most perfect and impressive
worship. engaged in by those whose
hearts are evil, beomes a bias
phemy. A fine church is no substi-
tute for fine people. A beautiful
worship program will not conceal
from Gods eye unbeautiful souls.
Mistake number two: The priests
and prophets supposed there was
such thing as religion by proxy.
They thought the priests by carry
ing on their duties could take care
of the situation.
God writes on the heart
MOTHER MISTAKE made by
"A those poor fools of false proph-
cts and priests was in supposing
they had the Law of God, when all
they had was two tables of stone
shut up in a box Il Kings 800. They
were proud of those tables of stone,
they were the Commandments of
God, and they were guarded most
carefully in the Holy of Holes in
the Temple Surely, God would not
destroy the city that possessed the
Sacred Law! But jeremiah knew
better. In the long run, the only
place the Law Of God does real
good is when it is written on the
heart.
In Jeremiah's most famous
prophecy (chap. 31) he looks
forward to the day when Gods
handwriting shall be not on
tables of stone but on human
hearts. That prophecy is being
fulfilled day by day as persons
turn their hearts to the Lord
and open the book Of their lives
that God may write his laws
there.
YET how many people have never
learned this truth! Having great
tradition is good; owning and read
ing the Bible is good; but it is not
the Bible on the shelf that counts,
not carrying a testament in the
pocket, but the Word of God hid
in the heart of those who know,
'cye and do what God desires.

NAVY LOBBY

It's not supposed to be known but the Navy went over the head of Secretary of Defense Johnson at the American Legion convention, and brazenly lobbied for Legion support of the super airplane car rier. The Navy's case was present. ed to a Legion subcommittee by two brass hats, Vice Adm. Calvin Durgin and Capt. Joseph Kane, who claimed to be official Navy spokes- men but admitted they hadn't cleared their material with either the joint Chiefs of Staff, the Sec retary of Defense or even the Sec retary of the Navy.
 Admiral Durgin introduced Cap tain Kane, who, he said, would "ex- plain the mistakes we are making in our defense policy" Kane charg- ed bluntly that Secretary of De- fense Johnson's orders, cancelling the super carrier, were based on faulty reasoning"
 Note-This performance by two high Navy officers was in direct violation of orders. For the same offense, an enlisted man would have been sent to the brig.

LEHMAN vs. sPELLMAN

"The Nation" was banned be- cause it carried series of articles by Paul Blanshard, prior to publi- cation in book form. critical of the church Lehman, on the other hand, argued that since New York public schools are attended by Protestants and Jews as well as Catholics, their reading material should not be fixed by Catholics alone. Leh- man felt that the church had ev- cry right to set the reading mater ial in its own parochial schools, but not in public schools supported by the taxpayers.
 Cardinal Spellman, however, viz orously disagreed and wrote the ex- Governor a sharp personal letter. And later Lehman received word from Catholic leaders that if he ran for the Senate this fall, he would have organized Catholic op- position.

Where To, Committee?
(Anchorage News

It appears from first reports that the erstwhile and self-styed statehood committee is finding itself hard put to decide what it is supposed to do.
 In it's first official action since approval by the Legislature last March, it found itself involved in long debate on matter far from statehood for Alaska. AS matter of fact the committee, composed heavily of members who in times past have found fit to label Seattle interests as ogres "throttng Alaska now unaccontably goes bat for Seattle and castigaes Congress for being so careless to allow the Boeing bomber plant to be moved away to Wichita.
 Somehow this is tied in with weak Territorial defenses which by some further stretch of the magina
 ton connected statehood the subject about which the committee called to consider.
 Just what the Sam Hill withdrawal of bomber plant from Seattle to Wichita has to do with state hood for Alaska the defenses of the Territory we somehow fail to comprehend. If the statehood con- mtee getting itself warmed up by writing strongly worded messages" about Seattle it is out of order and had better come home until it can decide on something more tangible it's pent-up energies
 If, on the other hand it really feels that moving the bomber plant is weakening Alaska defenses, it should perhaps call in some military advisors on srategy to straighten it out. It is well known that military tactics for defense did a turn about early in the last war when terrible potency of the long range bomber was realized and that it was then decided vital industries must inland or under ground if they are to survive the possibility Of another world war The first actions of the statehood com mittee so far as can see, were waste or energy a waste of time and waste of mimeographlng paper
 The statehood committee is superfluous and non- essential When the staterooa bill is finally approved if will provide for legal statehood convention con- mtee and there will plenty of time then to plan the future state of Alaska.

Actually, Mrs. Roosevelt had no idea that the Cardinal was coming to see her in the country. And, contrary to all reports, the paro- chial-school issue was not discuss ed. The Cardinal talked about the late President, plus various non- church matters.
 Finally Mrs Roosevelt brought up the question of Governor Leh- man and expressed the opinion that it would be in the best in- terest of all the people if he were to become a candidate for the Sen- ate. She also mentioned the Card inal's reported opposition.
 The Cardinal then said that when he got back to New York he would be happy to make it emphat- ically clear that he was not oppos- ed to Lehman. He further said he would issue instructions throughout his domain that there should be no church opposition to the benign x-Governor of New York.
 The meeting ended on a most happy and cordial note.

PONTIFF ORDERS PEACE

Members of tine Catholic hierar- chv intimate that it was His Hoh- ness Pope Plus XII who ordered Cardinal Spellman to make peace with Mrs. Roosevelt. They also ln- dicate that Spellman, once the Popes favorite and in line to be- come papal secretary, may have lost that privileged position to Cardin- al Stritch of Chicago, more liber- al prelate and a friend of the Roosevelt family.
 In addition to the Vatican, Ed Flynn Irish boss of the Bronz, enl- phatically demanded that Cardinal Spellman make peace with the former first lady. Flynn, who knew Spellman long before he became Cardinal, was brief and to the point.
 If you don't patch up this fight with Mrs. Roosevelt" he told Spell man, i've won't be able to elect Catholic to any office in New York state for the next 30 years"
 .. Flynn had in mind the longtime alliance between Jewish and Cath olic voters in New York, which has voted Democratic ever since the early days of Roosevelt. This all liance, responsible for Democratic victories during the past 16 years, was seriously threatened by Catho- lie opposition to ex-Governor Leh- man and his candidacy for the Senate.
 Cardinal Spellman himself was credited with spearheading the Leh- man opposition because the ex- Governor last year served on a committee of protest against ban ming The Nation" from New York public school libraries.

 Reservations should be made in advance for guests, Mrs. Thorne states, and regular members will be counted as having made reserva- tions unless they call and report otherwise. The program will be well worth anyone's hearing, she states, and even the mystery as to who's going to say what should add piquancy to the affair.
