ANN LANDERS
Broken Hearted
Story Of Daughter's Life
Dear Ann: I had to take a stiff
drink to get up the courage to
wrue lilts h uci, uui my iiuiiu is
clear and I hope you will print
it I ruined my daughter's life
because I was stubborn and ig
norant Maybe another mother
can learn something from my hor
rible mistake.
When Mary Elizabeth was IS I
caught her and her boy friend in
the act of heavy necking. They
had just returned from a beach
party and were wearing swim
ming suits. It was disgraceful.
I threw him out of the house
and kept -Mary Elizabeth up all
night threatening and scolding. I
made her quit the high school
band because the boy was in it.
I wouldn't let her go out with
him or anyone else.
Her school work fell down and
she lost interest in everything.
All the kids knew she couldn't
accept invitations so after awhile
she was left out of everything.
Mary Elizabeth quit high school
in her senior year, only weeks
before her graduation. She got a
job as a grocery clerk. AH her
ambition and interest in life dis
appeared. Now she's 34 a nerv
ous, sour old maid. She's a con
firmed man-hater and wont' fix
herself up or even buy clothes.
Ittte family doctors told me I
ruined this girl's life, tie said I
should never have cut her off
from young people that getting
caught was punishment enough. He
said I should have given ner a
chance immediately to prove she
could be trusted.
. Take my advice. Mothers if
your daughter disappoints you as
mine did, don't torture her with
reminders. Help her to make a
future. I wrecked my daughter's
life and I can never forgive my
self. Broken Hearted Mother.
Dear Ann: I've been reading
your column for a long time and
have decided this world is sure
full of crazv people.
I have a solution to most of
the troubles in America. Why
not round up these boys who get
girls into trouble, the husbands
who cheat on their wives, the
young loafers on almost every
street corner in the country and
put them all in the army? This
way, society would be safe from
them, and thov-d be where they
would have to toe the mark or
else. I think I have a point and
I hope you will agree. Figured
Out.
Dear Figured: You've got a
point all right, but if you part
veur hair right It " n0'
shew.
How would you like to trust
the national safety to a bunch
of loafers and delinquents? The
army isn't a penitentiary but

friendly one," it said. "By many
gestures (such as changing Cath
olic liturgy ' so that Protestants
are referred lo as -'separated
brethren" rather than "lierelics")
the Pope has made clear his
desire for reconciliation.
From the Protestant side, Eu
ropean Lutherans have taken the
initiative in sponsoring "ecumeni
cal institutes" at which leading
Catholic and Protestant theologi
ans explore together basic ques
tions of Christian faith. Hhe idea
was imported to America last
month when 135 Protestant and
Catholic clergymen met at Tole
do, Ohio, for a frank and friend
ly discussion of differences.
Writes Understanding Book
A brilliant young Protestant
theologian at the University of
Chicago, Dr. Jaroslav Peiikan,
did his part for the growing dia
logue with a book entitled "The
Riddle of Roman Catholicism."
Peiikan tried to go beyond "slo
gans and slanders'' and help
Protestants understand the real
nature of Catholicism. Although
he took issue with many aspects
of Catholic dogma and practice,
his book has been warmly praised
by Catholic reviewers for its ob
jective and sympathetic tone.
Non informed persons on either
side believe that such efforts will
lead to organic unity in the fore
seable future.
Protestant - Catholic differences
are too real and too deeply root
ed to be resolved without a very
long period of patient, mutually
responsive discussion. What the
ecumenicists are trying to do is
to get that discussion going in
an atmosphere of genuine Chris
tian charity.
Cites Progress Made
Fr. Gustave Weigel, the lead
ing U.S. Catholic authority on
church unity, points out that all
Christians are bound by Jesus'
explicit command to "love one
another." Simple obedience to
this commandment is therefore
the first, all-important step to
ward reunion.'
"In its relatively short history,
the ecumenical movement has
broken down the rancors of cen
turies," Fr. Weigel said. 'The
different churches da get along
better today than they did ' 50
years ago. , .
"We recognize one another; we
see good will in each other; we
hold converse with each other.
We still feel some irritation, but
we are manfully and not without
success trying to overcome it."
Bible Display
To Be Feature
Of Church
Book of Books" is the- title
of the sermon to be preached on
Sunday by the Rev. Lawrence AbU,
pastor of the First Church of the
Nazarene. There will be a Bible
display of unique and different
Bibles in keeping with Universal
Bible Sunday.
The Sanctuary Choir, under the
direction of Marvin Fager, will
sing. The church will also dedicate
new hymnals which members of
the congregation have purchased
