SIT MEDFORD (OBECOW) Rev. Fritchman Speaks On 'Gadfly' Religion ''The God of the pre-Darwinian and pre-Einstein world 15 dead beyond recovery and resurrection: no genteel ambiguity and learn ed juggling of medieval or transcendental theology will long post pone the day of judgment." The Rev. Stephen H. -Fritchman. minister of First Unitarian church, Los Angeles, and former editor of the official publication of the church, the "Christian Register.' spoke thusly at a meeting nf the Unitarian Fellowship here at the Labor temple. His topic was "The Role of a 'Gadfly' Religion." "Modern science has closed the I door on 99 per cent of our re-lbl,t to ' -nd leed7 A beast. ligious presuppositions, the : Kev. wr. iritcnman declared. witn j,,, large discourse, look adding "Piety and good works of in(? bef0re and after, gave us charity will not replace some not that capability and godlike hard, honest thinking if we are i reason to fust in us, unused." to keep an open church." He then added "It was true in The Rev. Mr. Fritchman began his talk by saying that religion has many good roles to play in a man's life, but that "by criti cizing our own lives, and our world of human relations, we transcend our world and exercise our freedom as men." Pointing nut that the gadfly function of religion has had a supernatural authority, the speaker said "the endemic sickness of our time is conformity and silence, yet this i? a sickness that can destroy us . , ." "The official and established religions have, with rare excep tions, contributed to the sopori fic process- the deadening of man's critical faculties, his chief source of advancement and free dom." Quoting Eric Fromm's book, "The Sane Society" to the effect that religious enthusiasm for the past 200 years has been found in movements which have broken with traditional religion, he continued by saying "The worst enemies of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, and Roger Williams were not atheists ' but ordained clergy at the altar." He said Fromm concluded that "relig ion for millions of fine people is inimical to human progress, in its organized form it seems to have supported docility, con formity and submission to arbi trary authority." "It is unhappily true that pro fessional religious leaders have all too often an occupational fear of the thinking man, or the reforming man," he said. "It is no accident that conservative governments in all eras, includ ing our own, have recognized this fact and found the priestly class invaluable allies in main taining the status quo." The Rev. Mr. Fritchman quot ed also from Professor Harvey Seifert of the USC School of Religion who wrote recently that social liberals "seem con tent with tiny tinkerings at the social structure" and quoted him as saying that the "neo-orthodox in Protestantism put their em phasis on the sovereignty of God interpreted in such a way that the nerve of human effort is severed; they reject the role of human reason, they neglect the human potentialities for goodness, so that we end up with an ethics of accommoda tion." The Rev. Mr. Fritchman then added that "If we teach the evil of human nature, and stress a deep pessimism about man's powers, as the neo-orthodox do, we leave men and women with out courage or hope to remedy their plight . . . they end up leaving the matter in the hands of a transcendent God who seems to have a time table of his own, strangely unrelated to the prevailing misery of man ... I would add to Dr. Seiferfs fine words my own conviction that theology, orthodox and lib eral, needs a gadfly these days." The speaker said that "em . ployment of critical imagination is one of the hallmarks of our being human, and without it we are but half-men. The demo cratic way of life calls for whole men and it cannot function without them. Only the whole man is a moral man." The Rev. Mr. Fitchman said that authentic religion gives man a "divine impatience" and add ed "the danger in past centuries was that men would become slaves: in our time it is that man will become robots, that we will lose that which makes us most truly human, our power of thought and feeling." He spoke of the recent Gallup poll which showed that the American p-ople are ready for far more progressive legislation and action than their congress gave them in the session just ended, said "No salvation in re ligion or politics or education .l. .bias frnm comes irom me av.co ---the top echelons of power. It wimes. U at irum " ancy. the energy and the criti-jthe cal thinking oi we wnn j file person. It is the common man who turns the world upside down." ! tor Houiw is aiso neia The speaker concluded by say- annually in addition to the var ine that because of science, this . ious camps for young people, generation has the power not Those returning from the only to affect nistory, uui power to reverse history to return to the wilderness and jungle and that because of this "we are in great jeopardy. Stressing th.i "man can think and man can act' the speaker said "we need not become a nation of shopkeepers and hoard ers playboys and mere TV view ers! bereft of initiative and re sourcefulness." His concluding quotation was. What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be MAIL TRIBUNE no more. Sure He that made us j Hamlet's time; it is even more imperative today." Mr. Fritchman was introduced by Mrs. A. H. Hatch. A discus sion period and refreshments followed the talk. Man Files Suit In Circuit Court After Jail Release Jesse F. Dressier, Old Stage rd., Jacksonville, has filed a damage suit in circuit court against Roby L Isaacs, Nate H. Smith, and Iris Smith, who he claims caused him to be wrong fully imprisoned in the Jackson county jail. Dressier is asking $20,000 gen eral damages, $20,000 punitive and axemplary damages, $2,000 special damages, and costs. Released from Jail In the suit, the plaintiff charges that on or about Aug. 27, 1954, the defendants wrong fully caused him to be imprison ed in the Jackson county jail, and that by order of the circuit court he was released Sept. 9, ! 1954. He claims legal costs of obtaining the release were $2,000. On a separate cause of action Dressier alleges that on or about Aug. 27, 1954, the defendants falsely accused him of being an insane or mentally ill person, causing a warrant to be issued and himself to be placed in the county jail. Maks Claim On both counts, the plaintiff claims he suffered "great mental pain and anguish and was caused undue humiliation, all to his damage in the sum of $20, 000." The law firm of Roberts, Kel lington and Branchiield rep resents the plaintiff.

Parents of children in the Sunday school will be in vited to attend the classes for adults. There are two reasons for the family emphasis, according to Rev. James Neely, pastor of the church. "Many Sunday school members drop out nf classes when they reach their teens thinking that it is only for chil dren. Then families need to do things as a unit. A spiritual em phasis in a home becomes quite (difficult unless there is a feel- ing of "togetherness in the wor ship and study habits endorsed by the parents. ST.
