experience is one of the most
thrilling that the human spirit
can undertake. In fact the mature
mind that does not succeed in
having this experience is eventu-
ally a profoundly troubled and dis
satisfied one, distressed by feel
ings of meaningless, the nonsense
of spent time. Only the sad or the
querulous can doubt that this
thirst for meaning, for sheer in
terest in life, has its origins be-
yOnd vanity, beyond a personal
wish for salvation" It's origin
is in the very nature of being
alive.
Each of us must come to his
sense of worship by his own path
with such help as the doctrines
of his parents, his church and his
society give him. But for us here
now, the children of the western
world, if religion means anything
at all, 1t means that something
good not only is in the purpose
of the universe, but within our
selves. This is the great creed and
promise of western humanism.
Must we be perfect for the
moment with God, and our fellow
men? No! For these are ends, and
not beginnings. We must search
for our beginnings where the an
&ious and the frail, the unsuccess-
full and the striving start as equals,
to the place where all religions
are water to the very well-spring
of being. Surely we need only lay
our hands on the central wonder
that burns within each living
thing! Life is precious, and am
alive.
All the living things of the
teeming universe are here united
in a monumental aspiration, to
bring life into being. In this NOM
ent of greatest solitude most SOL
emn conformation with the naked
self, we must feel ourselves part
of whole. This is the place where
the power and the glory make
themselves felt. This is the place
where we come to believe that we
not only want to live, but are in
tended to live. Once this is be-
lieved, surely God awaits us in
the next room.
James Hudson of the Mill Town,
once again reigns supreme as the
high priest of social activities in
the swinging Twins. On the even
ing of November II, 1861, James
gave another one of those sets"
for which he is a fact becoming
famous for. If I were to use all of
the descriptive adjectvies in the
Kings English, I still could not
properly describe this party, ex-
cept to say one would have to go
back many years and dig into the
archives of time to come up with
a more enjoyable evening.

City proud by being chosen by his
