YOUNG 205 West Cass Street DIAL 3-6671 Roseburg Churches Must Alter Courses, Sprague Advises Churches must alter their courses if they are to administer to man's needs today, Ex-Governor Charles A. Sprague told Meth odists here Thursday night. Sprague, speaking on "T h e Church in the Changing World," addressed a congregation follow ing a banquet in the Methodist Church. The speaker, presently editor of the Oregon Statesman, told the group the church, like other insti tutions, has to adapt to changing world conditions. t Man today is frustrated and In search of spiritual peace, Sprague said, and it is the duty of the church to provide him some meas ure of courage with which to meet life's threats. But, the speaker explained, churches cannot administer to man's spiritual wants if they cling to old tenets and beliefs. He emphasized this point by ex plaining that religion must be re vised and interpreted to fill the psychological needs of man as they arise today. The lack of this adaptation can mean trouble, Sprague said. "If the church doesn't satisfy man's spiritual hungering, he will look for something else. Frequent ly this leads to mental disorders," he explained Remedy Offered Turning to the relationship of churches and the world at large, Sprague saw a remedy in what he termed the "social gospel." By this he meant the rehabilita tion of persons in the lower eco nomic strata by providing them with financial aid and guideposts of Christian principles. As examples, Sprague cited the work being done in tenement slums, the work of missionaries and the aid being extended peo ples in oppressed areas. Such assistance, tne speaker said, could in large part reduce the frustration plaguing people to day by raising their economic standards. There are also problems to be met on the local scene, Sprague explained. Today, Roseburg present, a challenge, the editor said, and church groups should meet it with responsibility. Increased population and Indus trial growth present problems that will have to be met, he noted. But, as on the larger scene, church groups can assist in their remedy only if they alter their routine. Deliquency Laid By Dist. Atty. To Home Laxity Solution of the Juvenile delin quency problem is basically edu cation with the parents, in the opinion of District Attorney Rob ert G. Davis, who spoke before the Lions Club Thursday night. A visit to the homes of most de linquents will usually illustrate why those children are delinquents. He referred to broken homes, drunken fathers, or mothers who are forced to work to provide for their families and unable to ci.re for their children as contrib uting factors toward delinquents. As a case in point he discussed briefly the Vernon John Gosso case. Gosso, at 24, has been com mitted to the Oregon State Peni tentiary for life, and is not eligible for parole. If he lives tho normal life expectancy, he will be a ward of the state until he is 65 years of ae. Gosso, said Davis has no real home. His father and mother were separated. His father had been in and out of the penitentiary from the tine Vernon was a small child. At 11 ,ir 12 years, he was stealing bicycles in wholesale lots and selling the parts. He was in and out of tho Woodburn training school, and later in and out of pri son, until he was a finished crim inal product at the age of 24. Practically every delinquency case can be laid at the doorstep of the parents, according to the district attorney. Youth centers and youth organizations usually provide an outlet only for those boys and girls who are going straight anyway. We can't expect schools in six hours to do what parents can't do the remainder of the day. We should stop thinking what the kids are doing and start determin ing what parents are doing, Davis said. Remedial Action Begun On the problem of what to do about it, Davis said that a com mittee on juvenile delinquency is being started in Roseburg, with its aim to make a correlated ef fort of all organizations inter ested in youth welfaie. He said County Judge Carl Hill has volunteered to be the chair man, that he will work on the committee, and that representa tives from the churches, service clubs, medical society and a psy chiatrist at the Veterans Hospital are desired on the committee. Davis stated he did not wish to give the impression that we have a bunch of Al Capones in Douglas County, but that the prob lem is a serious one.
