WAR ON GODLESSNESS GREAT NEED TODAY, BABSON SAYS _ Recalls There Ware No Churches Shown At Last World's Fair. , Babson Park, Mass., March 21.— This is Lent. Millions of people throughout the world, Catholics, Protestants and others keep Lent. In fact, the “keeping of Lent” is ser ene MM , • f ' I j Old Testament He brew fasting pe riods. The L*nten Season “Is time to ask, “What is wrong with the world and our selves?” THE VOICE OF LENT Lent is an old *•*•* Anglo-Saxon word meaning “spring.” The connection is obvious — the commemoration comes in the spring; therefore the name “spring” is given, which is Lent. But there is still another and better connection. Spring is the time of renewal of the earth, the promise of the soil. So Lent is a time for the renewal of the Spirit. Lent calls us to consider Relig ious Faith as the needed driving force of our existence. Jesus—in whose name Lent is honored—was unconventional and uncompromis ing. He preached repentance and forgiveness. He prayed intensive ly; not habit prayers, but prayers springing from deep inner impuls es. Jesus demanded of His follow- $1 Billion Slash In Foreign Aid Is Predicted ers—that they lead a life of vice and self-sacrifice. His principle of action was that men love one another; His creed was His belief in the intrinsic worth of every human being. The thing that set Jesus so completely apart fro mmen of all time was his deep seated spiritual faith in God and the ultimate goodness of men. Ev ery devoted Jew agrees to this, partly based o a Selecting A Presidenial Candidate The most important question to day should be this: “Is Jesus’ re- ligion something we can live by? s it worth reproduction? ' Is it something to guide a Presidential Candidate?” A lot of people who do not often think much or talk about religion are beginning to wonder if many of our political troubles do not come from a neglect of the Spirit. Do you remember the last World’s Fair held in New York? That gave you a gjimpse of “The World of Tomorrow.” The World of Tomorrow showed super airports, super-skyscrapers, super highways and super-everything. But I don’t remember seeing a single church. I have become pretty much con vinced that two things are needed to save this world of ours: (1) a revolutionary invention, such as the harnessing of gravity, which would give people everywhere a great new source of power, and thereby make life’s necessities cheaper and within closer reach of more people; and (2) a spiritual rebirth of the nations of the ( world, such as came to Saul of Tarsus.

Sparkman (D-Ala) predicted today Congress will slash a billion dollars off the $7,900,000,000 foreign aid program and Sen. Russell (D-Ga) called that a “conservative esti mate.” Sparkman told a reporter he hopes reductions can be made on a “sensible” basis without crippling the program. He said talks with colleagues on the Foreign Relations Committee indicate there is strong sentiment for economy. “It may turn out that we will work out some kind of percentage cut, perhaps a 10 per cent reduction in direct military aid and a 20 per cent cut in so-called economic aid,” s<*id. tops tor quality tops y for ^ ality This would be somewhat Tn TFhe" with the plea of Secretary of De fense Lovett that, if Congress feels it must whittle down the program, it should let he adminisration de cide^ where-lhe-*xwiH-4aIlr— The committee has called Gen.

I not for the churches and preachers i our country could be in the same j miserable condition. We are today caught in a great world-wide struggle, a struggle be tween a materialistic world and a world of the Spirit. There are those who do not yet feel the need for religion. They think Science and Technology will ultimately solve all of our problems. I can- j not agree to this because I believe that the very freedom for which we are fighting is not a thing of the Mind; it is a thing of the Spirit. A Practical Suggestion I believe we cannot successfully fight Godlessness with Godlessness, indecency with indecency, cruelty with cruelty or dishonesty with dis honesty. If we expect to help save the world, we must first save our selves. If there is to be any “World of Tomorrow,” it will have to come through a great spiritual upheaval. Yes, Lent is the Spring time of Religion, a good time for Gentiles and Jews to focus atten tion on things of the Spirit. IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS Mwetoraimm.
