We Are Total of Religion,
Rev. Steines Told Audience
We are the sum total of our re
ligion, (Mild the Rev, Russell B
Staines last night in the conclud
ing event of Religious Evaluation
week. Staines’ speech, "Man, Re
ligion, and Society,” co-ordinated
and summarized the RE pro
gram’s preceeding speeches and
discussions.
"We need to know what man
believes,” he said. "We must un
derstand religious motivations
and experiences in order to un
derstand our world today. It is
impossible to know a society
without knowing the religious
forces behind it.
"Our actions and beliefs today
wiU extend into tomorrow. Today
has already been fashioned and
we are forming the next genera
tion.”
This RE week program has
shown a cross section of religious
people can participate in an ex
amination of religious values
rather than simply re-stating
their own doctrines, Staines said.
"The lecturers have all agreed
that we need to know these facts
and to be able to interpret them,”
he declared. "They have agreed
that we must go from these facts
to fundamental truths.
"Men must orient themselves j
with their particular point in |
eternity. People have always felt
that their times were the worst |
in history and have rallied a
gainst their fate. This has always

Flag in Palo Alto
Has Only 45 Stars
PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP)—
When It was pointed out to
City Librarian Fred Mulhol
land that the flag flying over
the main library had only 45
stars he hauled Old Glory down
and counted.
The 45 stars meant the flag
had been made between 1896
and 1907. The flag, donated by
the widow of an Army colonel,
had been used four or five
months.
“W'ell continue to use it un
til we get funds to buy an
other,” he said. “It’s the only
one we have.”
