The Week in Religion
By Religious News Service

For many years now, religious
leaders have underscored the need
for laymen to take a more active
and aggressive role in the work
of the churches. A special en-
Iphasis has been on the part mod
Iern laymen should play in reli-
gion's mission in the modern
social and economic order.
This week saw significant de-
velopments in the movement for
laymen mobilization in both the
Protestant and Roman Catholic
churches.
New Department Formed.
In Cincinnati, Ohio. the United
Church Men of America was in
augurated as a new department
of the National Council of
Churches which is expected to
rally American Protestant laymen
as a militant force in church and
community programs.
Meanwhile, in Rome, delegates
attending the World Congress of
the ApoStolate of the Laity heard
summonses to Catholic laymen
everywhere to join forces against
Communism and help bring about
a truly Christian and just social
order in the world.
1000 Meet i'm Cincinnati.
Some 1000 persons gathered at
Cincinnati's Taft Auditorium
were told by F. Turner Goodman,
United Church Mems general di-
rector, that the new Protestant
laymen's group would strive to
find "a Christian solution to the
ailments of society and the be-
wildering problems of our fellow
men"
Another speaker was John F. c.
Merrifield, Portland. Ore, business
man and vice president of the
church men group, who said that
Protestant clergy have
been doing yeoman duty, but
want and deserve the help of
laymen everywhere.
Mass Meetings Planned.
Plans were announced at the
meeting for a series of mass
meetings Of Protestant laymen in
key cities to arouse the interest
of laymen generally in the de-
velopment of church and COM

munity programs. These rallies,
it was stated, would give a new
workable importance" to Chris
tianity.
Another project under way Is
known as Every Mans Plan"
Expected to be launched by the
United Church Men in local
churches throughout the Nation,
it calls for using laymen in such
specific projects as visitation,
evangelism, fund raising, public
relations and audio-visual aids.
church attendance and youth
leadership. "
A third goal Of the organiza-
ton is the establishment of local
councils of Church Men to join
with clergy-manned councils of
churches in drives against juve-
nile delinquency, crime and
gambling, and in efforts to pro-
mote goodwill among races and
creeds.
Truman Sends Message.
Rejecting the Importance of the
Cincinnati event was a message
from President Truman who
urged Protestant churchmen TO
turn the hearts and souls Of
men from rancor and hatred to
love and the spirit OF true
brotherhood"
1t was announced meanwhile at
headquarters of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States at
Decatur. Ga, that 10000 South
ern Presbyterian laymen from 16
States would attend regional
during October and
on the general theme:
Christ and You-Partners for
Action" officials said the con-
ferences would attempt to step
up the activity of local Presby-
terian mems groups to match that
carried on by church
organizations.

Lieutenant Governor OF Capt.
tai District Talks On Commun-
ism To Local Club.

ism To Local Club.
Oscar Hartsock, lieutenant COVER
nor of the Capital District of XII
wants international, of which the
Hagerstown club is a part, made his
official visit to the club It the regu-
lar luncheon meeting at the Hotel
Alexander on Thursday. Mr.. Hart
sock is also a member of the Hagers-
town Club.
Following the loncheon, j. Vernon
Coblentfi, immediate past Lieutenant
governor of the District, presented
Walter NJ. Daniels, president of the
club, with the lieutenant governors
banner, which is held by the club Of
which the lieutenant governor is a
member, after which the meeting
was turned to Mr. Hartsock
Usually the lieutenant governor,
on his official visit TO the various
clubs in his District, centers his talk
around Kiwanis, but because of the
times in which we live, Mr.. Hart
sock deviated from the usual pro-
cedure and made Communism the
subject of his address.
After tracing Communism from
the days of Carl Marx down to the
present day, the speaker brought
out this amazing fact: In 1917 (the
year the Communist party took over
Russia) there was, in Russia, accord
ing to the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, only one Communist
for every 1920 Russian people; and
today, in the United States, there is
one Communist for every 1917
people in this country.
Mr.. Hartsock brought his address
to close with this summation:
/ America is the sanctuary, in our
era, of what we call Western Civil
cation. 1t is the last place on all
this earth where we still preserve
that great concept of man which
comes out of the Bible originally
and which has become part of our
tradition, part of our Law, and the
whole of our lives. Those who OPP
pose that concept of American life
are our enemies, whether here or
elsewhere upon the earth.
'Those who seek to destroy mans
faith in himself and his faith in God,
who seek to subordinate him to the
State and to make him a creature
of those who hold favor, that man
is our enemy and him we shall have
to fight.
"And we shall have to fight him,
not only to safeguard our country.
but also to safeguard ourselves and
our children and to safeguard our
way of life. And we shall succeed,
because it is one of the mysteries
of human history that whenever a
period of darkness has fallen upon
the human race, somewhere one lit
tie spot remained, out of which
came, for all mankind, a renewed
dream of hope, of faith, of dignity
and of mans association with God
and Human Liberty"
Guests at the meeting were; G.
H. Rice, of Baltimore, and the fol-
lowing members of the Frederick
Club: John Cheatham. president;
Jimmy Messersmith, vice-president;
Milton Brunk, immediate past pres
ident; Robert Smith, chairman of the

he now has IS neighborhood commits
sioners, whose responsibility it will
be to service units.
Mr. Fentress, who has had a rich
background of Scouting, being active
in the movement for more than 30
years, is very confident that with

district will benefit by a greatly
improved program during the COM
