COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
Sometime ago, the 10th of May was a day known as Deco
ration Day, or Confederate Memorial Day - a day of memorial
\ honoring the valor and sacrifice of the heroic soldiers of
Lee, Jackson, Joseph E. Johnston, Beauregard, Albert Sid
ney Johnston, Wade Hampton—and all the other men of
the old Southern chivalry.
The 10th of May was a day, but not a memorial, for just
a few* paused to think of the hectic days of '61 to ’65.
May 30th was another Memorial Day - National memorial,
a day to commemorate the men of all the wars of Nation.
In some communities of the North there were services,
and the display of the flag, but not much else. Holidays
today are but occasions for hunting and fishing, trips here
and there and general enjoyment, just as Thanksgiving has
ceased to be a day of thanks and Christmas has degenera
ted into a mere exchange of presents.
We might as well “call off” Washngton’s Birthday, Arm
istice Day and virtually all the other days which we cele
brate in a manner far from commemorative of either a
great man or an exalted cause.
The “Glorious fourth”, likewise, seems to mean nothing
to us of this busy, fun-loving day.
We don’t need holidays for rest, since the work-day is
short, the work-week is short, sick-leave and vacations give
all the time anyone needs for mingling with one’s neigh
bors. Even so.
May 30th might well remind us of men and women who
£ave “the last full measure of devotion” for our country;
they had faith, faith in God and faith in our country, its
ideas and its ideals.
“Lord God of Hosts be with us yet
Lest we forget, lest we forget.”
Perhaps we should let our minds play on the early days.
I find in a poem, “The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers”,
some lines I quote:
“Not as the conqueror comes,
They, the true-hearted, came;
Not with the roll of the stirring drums,
There were mep with hoary hair
Amidst that pilgrim-band, —
Why had they come to wither there,
Awjay from their childhood’s land?
There was the woman's fearless eye,
Lit by her deep love’s truth;
There was manhood’s brow serenely high,
And the fiery heart of youth.
What sought they thus afar ?
Bright jewels of the mine?
—They sought a faith’s pure shrine.
Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where they first trod;
They have left unstained what there they found, -
Freedom to worship God.”
Some of our hymns breathe the early spirit. “Faith of our
Fathers,” for example, to quote the first lines of the stan
zas:
I ^ “Faith of our fathers! living still ■- *
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword:
P how our hearts beat high wtfth joy
When-e’er we hear that glorious word!
Faith of our fathers! holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death!”
Doesn’t that carry your thoughts back to the days of
hardihood, when “Life was real, life was earnest, and the
grave was not its goal? When “Dust thou art, to dust re-
turneth was not spoken of the soul?” And the poem goes
on, remember?
•; V
Why are so many officers of our armed services talking
and writing so often? Are they thying to scare the people
so as to bring pressure on Congress to spend more lavishly ?
The people are becoming disgusted with both the brass-
hats, as well as the bureaucracy.
I am not just a knocker, but I fear we have very little
regard for Washington. Now that sorrowful condition
didn’t develop overnight; it has grown and flourished dur
ing the years.
There is something wrong with Washington; and Wash
ington hiay reflect something that is wrong all over the
nation.
One thing that strikes us in the face is that the Republi
cans see no good n the Democrats; and the Democrats see
no good in the Republicans. That is old stuff, the tweedle
dum and tweedledee of small politics. That deceives no
body. But when the facts of a given matter are so twisted
and turned that both sides proclaim as the truth so mu£h
prevarication, deceit, misrepresentation and downright
falsehood we think the people should call for a cleansing
of the Augean stables, as the Ancients called for correc
tion of corruption.

But it is surely not inappropriate,
either, to call attention to what may
wefl be one of the hmrfam^wtai
shortcomings of today's young men
and women, and that is their lack of
interest in the church of which they
should be a part. Today's young
men and women, on toe testimony
of any number of zealous pastors,
are poor parishioners; they show
no interest in toe life of their church
or parish.
They may be active in their alum
ni or alumnae organizations, in the
Junior Chamber of Commerce, in
affairs on the state and natirmni
level, but they have no time for
purely church activities.
This attitude of mind, this lack of
interest in one's church is a spiritu
ally dangerous condition. Its effects
are already evident.

to tha church. Tha church and par
ish ara to God's providanea, tha ia-
strumanti usad to bring mao and

aoon as people cut themselves off
from the church, they drift away
not only from toe church, but from
God as well. And one of the sad
facts of American life to that many
young people are, in cold fact, drift

And this, to an toe more sad be

so much to offer the church and to
contribute to toe vitality of church

service of God.
This loyalty to toe church can be

LESSON in statesmanship:
"I think it can be agreed that
there may be more than one road
to final consummation oi a policy.
We are not concerned with a
problem in geometry, where the
shortest distance between what
we have and what we want is a
straight line. We are dealing, not
with mathematical postulates, we
are dealing with men.
“None of us, I feel sure, have
the whole truth in our understand
ing. Perfect understanding is an
attribute of God, not of man. It
is however, certain that we must
continue searching for understand
ing. I know that the United States
is the country whera sociological
research is taken most seriously.
Much of that research to into the
factors that divide, humanity. I
would like to see similar research
into the factors that unite human
ity. And there are many. I would
like to see research, not Into the
cultural differentiation of man,
but into the cultural unity of man,
into the factors which make men
brothers, and not Just points on
a statistician's graph. From Ice
land to New Zealand, from Japan
to New York, man to the same in
his humanity. When we come to
realise that, and realise that the
man to not toe same as his per
sonal iron curtain of prejudices,
we are more than halfway to the
fulfillment of our ideato.
'This is a strange world we
have inherited. In moments of
frustration I sometimes feel that
man has reached for the stars and
smeared his hands with primeval
mud. We have penicillin, and the
wonders of bacterial warfare. We
have rocket-powered bombing air
craft, and ox-drawn plows. We
have atom bombs, and—half the
world lit by flickering oil lamps.
Is it possible that our technical
skill is surpassing our mental
stature? I do not believe so, for I
have the profound faith in the po
tentiality of man. What seems ob
vious is that we have a bad dose of
technological indigestion, and
should really take greater care
with our diet. It needs, I think,
a better balance. It lacks a spirit
ual and moral content. In inter
national affairs, we move—or stag
ger—from expedient to expedient,
and never quite catch up with
reality. In national affairs, we find
it difficult to follow the basic prin
ciple of doing the greatest good
for the greatest number of people,
because we do not know what is
the greatest good. Yes it to - a
puzzling world, a disturbing world,
but a supremely challenging world
. . . a hungry man cannot eat a
voting paper. We believe in meth
ods and ideals of democracy, but
it must be an economic and social
democracy aa well as a political
democracy. In toe midst of want,
social inequality and poverty,
democracy cannot long exist

AUTHOR OF “HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING"
E DNA GRAYSON, Belmont Avenue, Victoria, B. C., Canada, was dis
charged from the hospital after spending two months in the Psy
chiatric Ward where she was sent because of tear and worry.
When she came out, she knew she had to face the problem of what
to do with her life. On the one hand was a future for herself and her two
daughters; on too other, nothing but chaos and destruction. There was
no middle road! For an intelligent person there was
really no choice and so she began to build up a new
life, brick by brick.
The first thing she learned was that the prime
requisite in the solution of any problem concerning
fear or worry was intelligent analysis; that no prob
lem of this kind can be attacked and solved until it to
first thoroughly understood.
She learned also that fear, tor all it* monstrous
appearance, to hollow; it has no substance; and it to
terrified of light She determined that whenever she
spied a fear on her horizon she would take out her
little mental flashlight and flood it with light And oho did. It worked!
'Nine times out of ten the fear was dissipated instantly.
She says she still has a few fears that so far have remained imper
vious to her little flashlight, but she to working on them, and she to
determined to carry on with this mental rehabilitation program.
