LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

There is much serious thought to
be given to the DR.. Sanders case
which came to a climax with his
acquittal, This corner has no brief
to carry, nor any personel opin-
ions to blast out, but one thing is
certain, the case has brought into
focus the question as to how a
Doctor may determine when you
have drawn your last breath. 1t
has left the door wide open for
all those who have a quarrel with
the question of Interpretation of
the Bible.
When the case first came in
the headlines there was a question
of whether it was legal to take
some incurable person of cancer
out their misery. AS the weeks
passed this question was dropped
and a very strange twist of opin-
ion came into the front page of
the nations Dailies. Now the ques-
ton was whether DR.. Sanders adj
ministered air into the patient be
fore she died or after she died,
The fact remains that the in
cident of mercy killing became
one of controversy, and it matters
not what side you are on, the rest
of the world, may find comfort in
grabbing the twists of headlines
that told the world that promi-
nent Doctor in the United States
had committed what may, or may
not have been a mercy killing.
If one-a layman who has been
reared in the concepts of the
teachings of the Christ, and his
suffering on the Cross, chooses to
look upon this lightly, then there
is little comfort to those who
can't wait on this earth long emo
ugh to endure their full share OF
pain in order to be paid with q
full assurance of regeneration af-
ter death.
This concept of Il can't take it
is a concept of the ATHEIST, but
Christianity gave to the world 9
more reassuring aftermath, as
such, pain and sorrow ceases, and
peace and comfort is a reward
beyond the horizon.
We may not thrust aside this
concept without endangering the
foundation of christian teaching
Neither can we sing the praises
of the Great Teacher while com
promising on the principles which
have made the Western World 9
religious and moral citadel.

HIS WORD
By Archbishop w. ID. C. Johnson

st. Peter labored in Palestine,
Syria and Asia Minor. In North
America the growth of the church
has been surprising. The first
pioneers of the cross were Domi-
nican, Franciscan and Jesuit miss
fonaries, who labored along the
ST Lawrence River and the North
ern Lakes in New Mexico and
California. The later English colo
MES established on the Atlantic
Coast were protestant and for
babe Catholic worship by law.
Lord Baltimore, with 800 cath
clio immigrants from England and
two Jesuit fathers founded a colo
ny called Maryland, as an asylum
for the prosecuted catholics of
England. This was the first AM
erican colony to give full federation
Of religious worship to all.
After the war of Indepen-
dence religious liberty was grant
ed all by the Constitution. In
1889 there was but one bishop,
John Carsoll, of Baltimore and
10000 catholics. By the end of the
century there were ten million
catholics, one cardinal, fourteen
archbishops and seventy-three
bishops. Three great national coun-
ellis have been held in Baltimore
and churches, schools and con-
vents cover the land. The Society
of Jesus was solemly established
by Pope VII in 1914, and it has
sprung UP and spread over the
old and new worlds. In the United
States alone the advent of 1856
found twenty-four million cath
olics.
In Australia, the English Gov
ernment forbade catholic. worship
with great intolerance up to the
year 1920. After that catholic
priests were admitted and now
there are 100000 catholics in 1
total population of three million.
In the name of the Father, tn
Son ard the Holy Ghost, Amen.

pie are leading their Congressional
leaders in the matter of racial JUS
tice, the priest-sociologist said:
"The more enlightened Southern
public opinion is by no means as
solidly hostile to all civil rights
legislation as professional politi-
clans like to picture it,
Father O'Connell warned that
1--WE cannot pull down the shade and
shut out the eyes of the world" as
to the results of prejudice, and
called for sober reflection of the
price America has to pay in world
leadership for refusing to qualify
workers because of the pigmen-
tation of their skin"
Judge Perez said that adoption
of FEPC legislation would be
communism itself, as he and Mr..
Talbot combined in Southern
style filibuster to shout down the
priest in the open give-and- take
that followed the prepared state
ments of both sides. Their pro-
longed speeches and stalling for
time included advice to Father o.
Connell not to "get into these
things" and stay out of purely
political matters" despite his able
outlining of the moral law involved.
The Dixicrat judge said that
FEPC would destroy the right of
contract and "sound the death
knell of the free enterprise sys-
tenn" He quoted window-dress-
ing clause of the Soviet constitu-
ton that promises equality be-
tween persons of all races and
asked if America wanted such a
clause.

The Hutchins boys, Milton and
Robert are fast becoming outstand-

Side. Milton, is the sole distributor
for Blatz Beer on the South Side
here in Chicago. Milton and Robert
are former Jacksonians. Both these
young fellows have lovely homes
and are happily married. One of
the Hutchins girls Jessie Lee, was
a classmate of ours at Dear Ole
Lanier Another brother, Buddy,
alledgedly the policy kind of Gray

Michigan Boulevard here in the
Windy City and very soon will re-
ceive a degree from that reknown-
ed Institution.
The Lanier Club of Chicago was
entertained by Robert and Lula
Jenkins Davis, at their home last
Sunday. We were pleased to see
two new members, in the Person
of Carrie Brakefield Mayes and
Dorothy Walters Futch. The last
contact we had with these glamour
Gus young ladies was when we were
all school kids in the Jackson town.
Carrie is married to Jackson boy,
Isiah Mayes, and the mother of
four youngsters. Dorothy married
the late Leonard BEAM Futch,
Dottie is also a Mommy, having
two kids.
We heard two songs on the radio
recently, and we think they are

which we live. The titles are:
