Wrong Ideas
Exist In
bible Belt''

CHERAW, S. c., July % NC
A middle-aged woman standing on
the edge of small group gatherd
around a street corner here shout
ed the question. II was question
typical of the many fired at Fa-
ther John A. O'Brien on his an
nual street-preaching mission in
the South.
why" the woman wanted to
know, doesn't the Catholic Church
allow the people to read the Bible
for themselves instead of having
priests tell them what to read?"
Father O'Brien patiently explain
ed the Church's position on Bible
reading Whether the woman was
convinced would be difficult to say
for this area is not only sparsely
settled with Catholics but it is also
heavily propagandized with anti
Catholic literature
Father O'Brien who is dis
tinguished author as well as a pro-
fessor at Notre Dame University,
has spent the past few summers
touring the "Bible-belt" region of
the South in an attempt to help
dispel some of the misconceptions
these people have about the
Church.
In this South Carolina town OF
some 1000 inhabitants. Catholics
number only 120 There has been
a Catholic Church here since 1922
and the situation nere is typical of
the struggle the Church faces
throughout South Carolina. The
state has a population of 2,500,000
with Catholics numbering 10000,
or less than one per cent
While on a street-preaching tour
in Bennetsville Father O'Brien said
he found unmistakable evidence
that much anti-Cathol,c literature
was being circulated among the
people. The questions seemed to
follow consistent pattern.
In an effort to bring the Church's
true position on these and other
questions, Father Burke has plans
for a Catholic Information Center
in BennetSville.

Souls Immortality Discussed
By Msgr. Glenn i'm Final Talk

The Immortality of the soul, and
the responsibility which man has
to lead a decent, holy life were
explained in a radio address by
MSgr. Paul j. Glenn, last Sunday,
in the last of his four talks on the
Catholic Hour.
The noted author and lecturer,
who is rector of st. Charles Semi
nary, emphasized our manner of
living now determines how we are
to exist hereafter.
Death is not merely passing
over" he declared, 1T is passing.
before the judgement seat of God,
and answering for the life, of
which every single instant was
supplied with a grace sufficient
to purchase heaven.
The soul that goes to hell" he
continued, ''iS more preverse and
foolish than man who stands at
table overladen with all manner of
good food, his own pockets bulg-
ing with money that will buy it,
yet stands there until he starves
to death. He'll is wilful star
vation in the midst of plenty. f"
To those who contend that they
do not believe in hell, Msgr. Glenn
noted that they might as well say
that they don't believe in the
sum-" and that they cannot make
truth conform to their "likings
and opinions. He added:
''The important thing about hell
is whether it exists, not what peo-
pie think about it. and Christ
Our Lord has told us that it does
exist.
In discussing suicide, he said
that the person who says he will
END it all" is fooling himself be-
cause he actually begins it all,
and in misery without end"
He described the suicide as a
soldier that will not fight; a trai-
tor to the cause of humanity"
Life was meant to be a battle,
he asserted, adding that 1--WE must
wage war against our own evil
tendencies" which we inherited
because of original sin, against
the bad example of others. and
against the direct assaults of the
devil. !"
The prelate stressed that life
was a responsibility, that it was
"a glorious adventure, and like all
adventure charged with an ele-
ment of danger. Its issues are
eternal life or deternal death, that
is endless misery. And we are to
choose the ISSUE"
In conclusion he maintained that
IF we get ourselves right, we'll
get the world right" and that we
will come to know 'our great and
heavy and most ennobling respon-
sibility to God" He asserted:
"We"ll know that we exist to
know God, to love God and to
serve God. And that is the meaning
of life.
How shall we know God? BY
study, by prayer, by finding the
true faith, by living according to

Is MILLION TREES To Be PLANTED
IN OHIO DURING PRESENT YEAR

COLUMBUS, Ohio. - Governor
Lausche's "Plant Ohio Today-For
Tomorrow" program first inaug-
urated last year and resulting in
the planting of II million trees in
1852 has gained wide momentum
and popularity and with the 1858
goal of 25 million has become one
of the outstanding features of
Ohio's Sesquicentennial year. Dur
ing April, which has been pro-
claimed Sesquicentennial Conser-
vation Month by ernor
Lausche, public schools, industry,
farmers, home owners, civic and
religious organizations in every
city, village and county in the
state will launch cooperative plant
ing programs to beautify resi-
Dental areas, industrial sites and
public grounds and to reforest
thousands of acres of idle lands.
Under the direction of county
Agricultural Extension Agents who
were named by Governor Lausche
as county "Plant Ohio" Chairmen,
all 88 counties in the state are
now well organized and ready 10
60 into action. County committees
have adopted the state Sesquicen-
tennial slogan of "You Too-Plant
A Tree in So"
Ohio's Sesquicentennial refor-
estation and community beautifi-
cation program has attracted ma
tional attention and its program
and organization is being used as
a model for other states to follow.
Just recently the American Nurs-
erymen's Association made Spe-
cial request for 5000 copies of
Ohio's tree planting manual for
distribution to state planting and
reforestation organizations thru
out the nation. Ohio's 1858 pro-
gram has already been acknow-
lodged as the Nations largest
planting effort.
Expressing confidence that Ohio
would meet its Is million goal,
Ray White, chairman of the Gov
ernor's PLANT Ohio" committee,
said today that quick but accur-
ate check on nursery orders and
large planting schedules already
revealed a total of more than 21
million seedlings and trees.
Commercial nurseries in Ohio
distributed more than two million
trees in Ohio last year and they
anticipate at least a 20 per cent
Increase this spring which is ex-
pected to bring the total to three
million.
;, AT least 3,5OO,OO0 seedlings will
be planted on Ohio farmlands
through cooperators in the U. S.
