Dear Mr.. East:
Relative to the Stokeley's re-
marks about McCarthyism Under
The Magnolias, you might men
ton that it was the N.A.A.C.P.
who wrecked Stains master
plan to bring American Negroes
into the fold of Communism.
The current attempt to tie
Communism and the N.A.A.C.P.
together is pure hogwash. The
Communists have always de-
manded a revolt bathed in blood;
the N.A.A.C.P. unlike the XXX
does its fighting through the
framework of the Constitution.
Sincerely,
Verling R. Vans

Dear Mr.. East:
The Rev. Archibald V. McLees,
in his letter of August 6, protest
ing your views on God, soul, etc.,
seems to have made as big a fool
Of himself as you. (Now here I
go.) On the one hand, Mr.. McLees
tells us that we cannot grasp
what the soul is, and on the other,
he explains it away. (This could
mean that only he is in posses
sion of such wisdom.)
Now I do not claim to be an
authority on matters of the soul
l, too, prefer the childlike ap-
proach;- but if the Rev. McLees,
with all his linguistic eloquence
and logic, has touched upon the
soul, then / admit to his conclus-
ion that I am but blob of pro-
toplasm. (He would like me to
believe that I am capable Of
thinking, but I 'feel" through his
verbal tactics.)
Like most men Of intellect, Mr..
McLees flourishes such grand
and noble words as God, soul,
Immortality, death, etc., to ex-
plain grand and noble ideas,
without ever bothering to explain
the words themselves. I must say
he gives us childish creatures
some credit. (But the truth is, we
don't know what the hell he's
talking about.) If he told us that
death meant, for instance, ignor-
ance, darkness, bondage, negativ-
ity, decay, stagnation, etc., then
/ would be delighted to - say -
offer him a highball, or at least
join him in conversation. This
reader, however, understands him
as meaning when the body is
laid into the grave" Correct me
if I am wrong) Now truthfully,
tell me, is death as shallow as
the grave?
If we can look upon death as
being ignorance, bondage, and
those other horrid words I men
toned (by the way, Jesus made
quite an issue of this), then we
can say with certainty that there
is life after death. But of course
that calls for an explanation of
| life - eternal life - love, senSi-
tivity, the things that be of God.
You are correct, Mr. East; there
is no life after death because
there is no death. There is only
life and stupidity. It is time we
tore down our jaded temples and
lifted ourselves up, as lift my
coke-high to the resurrection!
Don't get me wrong, Rev. Nc
Lees; I'm really no better than
you.)
Sincerely,
| Robert Hart

Dear P. D.
I have before me the August
9th issue of The Petal Paper and
cannot help but comment on the
letter of Rev.) Archibald v. Nc
Lees. No doubt the Reverend is
good man as well as a good
theologian. I, myself, was brought
up in the Methodist and Baptist
Church. The Reverend speaks of
"a rewarding of the long suffer-
ing good" What a philosophy,
and pray, tell me, how can suf-
fering be good? Surely no think
ing, well informed, man of to-
day can believe in a future life.
Every man knows when his life
began; can one imagine an or
ganism that has a beginning and
no end. If you did not exist in
the past, why should you exist
in the future? We can no longer
accept theology for an answer as
it is now recognized as one of the
fossil sciences along with alchemy
and astrology and has been swept
into the dust pan of oblivion.
After reading the confessions
of ST. Augustine, a person was
asked .sWhat idea of God do you
get from this book?" He replied,
First you think of an old man
with a beard. Then you take
away the. beard. Then you take
away the old man. What's left is
God"
While religion is committed to
the explanation of the world in
terms of vital force, science is
committed to that of non-con-
scious mechanism. Opposition is
thus present at the outset, and it
must continue to the end. The old
cannot be maintained without
matchmaking the new; the new
cannot be established without dis
placing the old. The conflict is
inevitable; the antagonism is ir-
reconcilable. 1t lies, therefore, in
the very nature of the case that
religion, as religion, can give no
real help to man in the under
standing of himself and the
world. Whatever good religion
may appear to do is properly to
| be attributed to the non-religious
| forces with which it is associated.
But religion, being properly con-
: oorV,a al With <ho ro1of;o,e Lofuyoar,
man and mythical supernatural
beings, can exert no real influ-
ence for good on human affairs.
Far from that being the case, it
can easily be shown to have had
quite an opposite effect. Bacon
an Calico in their prisons, Bruno
and Vanini at the stake are illu-.
strations of the disservice that
Christianity has done the cause
of civilization, and the ObStruc-
ton it has offered to human we'll
! being.
/ It was Won Baer in 1923 who
made the attack with his discov-
cry of the human egg that swept.
the decks of the cargo of ignor-
ance and superstition which had
so long supplied the mind of man.
In 1852 the attack was followed
up with a broadside from Spen-
GERS historic coinage of "Strug-
gle for Survival" and Survival

The present edifice on North
Marion Street, seating about 90,
was the only Catholic church in
Morrow County for about SO
years. In 1913, the late Bishop
Ready established Saint Matt
hew's Parish at Mount Gilead
and placed it in charge of the
Fathers of the Sacred Heart.
a missionary congregation then
in charge of Our Lady of Mount
Carmel Parish, Buckeye Lake.
1t was at this time that Saint
Joseph's, Cardington, was rails
ed to the status of a parish and
ceased to be a mission of Saint
Mary's Parish, Delaware. The
newly instituted parish of Saint
Joseph was also placed under
the direction of the Fathers OF
the Sacred Hearts residing at
Mount Gilead.
At present Fathers James.
SS.CC. and Leo, SS.CC. serve
the needs of both parishes while
residing in Mount Gilead. Due
to lack of facilities in Carding'
ton all catechetical classes are
taught and parish meetings are
held at Mount Gilead.

A bill designed to stop
the influx of indecent
films being shown in
Ohio was introduced by
Senator Robert Shaw,
last week in the State Legis-
lature.

Senator Shaw, with former
Senator Andrew Putka of
Cleveland, was unsuccessful
in his attempt to pass a film
rating bill for the state in the
last session two years ago.
Shaw said this new bill
would provide that one of the
members at large be from the
film industry itself. All films
would be submitted to the
board and be approved by 1t
before delivery to the exhib-
it0r.

The person submitting the
motion picture may appeal
this decision within 80 days
by filing suit in common
pleas court.
If the jury finds the mo-
ton picture is not obscene
the judge shall order the de-
partment to grant an immedi-
ate approval" Shaw said.
The bill provides stiff SEN
fences for each violation far

or more than five hundred

The exhibitor of these films
can also be fined mot less

The same penalty could be

fully the Lenten devotions, by
assisting at Mass daily, by re-
ceiving the Sacramento of
Penance and Holy Eucharist
frequently, by praying more
often and more fervently, and
by reading and meditating up
on the suffering and Passion
of Our Divine Savior.
We recommend to all par
ents that they make a special
Lenten practice of gathering
their families in daily fami-
ly prayer, such as the Rosary.
We earnestly entreat every
one, of his own accord and
choice, to this two-fold Lenten
program: 1. To deny oneself
and to mortify ones appetites,
and z. To add to ones prac-
tees in the spiritual life.
These few days in advance
of Ash Wednesday and the
beginning of Lent give us the
time to recall the true spirit
of Lent, to refresh our memo
ries with the simple require
ments of the laws of fast and
abstinence lating food
and drink, to determine upon
our voluntary Lenten mortifi-
cations and self-denials, and
to map out for ourselves the
religious and spiritual exer-
cises that we are going to I'M
