The title of the article is "Suburbia Buys Religion" and the author is the religious news editor of the New York Times. The Rev. SteDhen H. Fritchman. minister of First Unitarian church in Los Angeles, quoted from the Rowland article in a talk before a Unitarian fellowship here Thursday night, and urged his listeners to read the entire piece. The minister's topic was "The Role of Gadflv in Religion." "He wants sermons to comfort him, to console him and to in spire him to more pleasant living, but never to challenge him with the rude realities of today's revolutionary world," Mr. Rowland continued. The Rev. Mr. Fritchman said that Mr. Rowland's words applied to Los Angeles as well as New York, and added himself "One thing the religious revival of 1956 does not want is the old- fash ioned preaching with a barb . . . Two more of the minister's quotations are worth repeating. He quoted George Bernard Shaw who wrote "I am, and have always been, a revolutionary writer because our laws make law impossi ble, our liberties destroy all freedom, our property is organized robbery, our morality is impudent hypocrisy, our wisdom is ad ministered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes, our power wielded by cowards and weaklings and our honor laise in ail its points ... I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons." . The second one came from the pen of a Catholic priest and was published in "The Tablet." "To the ordinary citizen today religion is simply irrelevant to the question of living ... it is just another museum piece ... a milestone at the side of the road along which mankind has passed on its onward march." To this the Rev. Mr. Fritchman added "it can happen to any religion, Ca tholic or Unitarian or otherwise, that deserts its duty of prodding ing mind or of commanding the reconstruction of the social order." In opening his talk the Rev. Mr. Fritchman said that the role of the Unitarian minister is not to "issue a gospel" but to "provoke you into independent thinking and conclusions. During the question period the minister was asked to com ment on what many say is a revival of religion and after point ing out that it is extremely hard to judge such manifestations at the time they are taking place he added "I am however, often overwhelmed by the bogus element" and "I sometimes think it is one of the greatest of circuses in the name of religion." . . The heavens smiled on Elizabeth Collins Sunday, for they waited until after her wedding to Kent Bonney of Grants Pass was over before unleashing the dazzling electrical storm which brewed up during the afternoon. The Collins' garden, with its stretches of green lawn and the big oaks for shade, made a per fect spot for so large a reception. The masses of gladiolus in both the church and at the recep tion came from the Warner gardens, and not only did the W. J.'s and the Gordon's give Elizabeth the hundreds of blossom stalks, but Ruth Warner supervised their arrangements in the church and made the bridesmaids bouquets. Among the interesting guests was Mrs. Louis Humphrys, who at one time lived here and is now making her home in California after three years in Hong Kong. Mrs. H. says that in Hong Kong the British say if the Communists take the city but the Ameri cans say "when the Communists take the city." Mrs. Humphrys said only once in her extensive travels was her luggage really gone over with a fine-tooth comb by the customs men, and this was in Greece. When Mrs. H. asked the man who was carefully feeling all over the lining of her bags what in the world he thought he would find he said briefly, "guns." The bride's sister-in-law, Mrs. Hugh Collins, looked stunning in a pink summer gown, and took time out from her flitting to and fro with reception duties to introduce her three small daughters who have been in the wedding party. The sight of one of her beau tiful silver punch cups sitting on the lawn by a chair gave Pot pourri the creeps but Susie only shrugged. Potpourri has been a guest in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Lowry several times, and somehow or the other, the occasions are always memorable. Once it was because the beautiful and gracious Dorothy Warenskjold, noted soprano, was the guest of honor, and another time it was because some small boys wandered along the bottom the hill on which the Lowry s fine home stands and fired a rifle up the hill into the guests, wounding one. Sunday the musical soiree held at the Lowry's was not only memorable for fine music played by musicians from the Philhar monic orchestra, but for the storm. As the strains of Wagner's and Beethoven's grand music flowed out from the instruments, nature accompanied with flashes of lighting and peals of thun der. This intensified as the evening wore on, and soon after the program ended, most of the guests were forced indoors by the high wind and gusts of rain. Exhilerated by the storm, a few lingered on the porch and watched, fascinated, as the great streaks of lightning flashed and quivered in the heavens followed by thunder which fairly shook the earth. For the first time Potpourri saw lightning streaks which ended at the bottom in balls or pinkish-red color. So magni ficent was the sight that we forgot to be afraid. It was different Monday night, however, when we drove home during the height of the second storm. With big limbs being wrenched from trees on all sides, and huge oak trees falling like little sticks, we wanted to be nowhere else but home, and fast. From time to time Potpourri takes an afternoon away from the office to visit some of the smaller towns of the county, meet community leaders and take pictures.-This we did Tuesday at Butte Falls, and very interesting it was, too. We threw a meeting of the Butte Falls Garden club into com plete confusion, but the kind women put off the business meeting until after the shutter snapping was over. We thought we had included everyone in the group, as well as others we visited in homes, but at the end of the afternoon discovered that a visitor. Mrs. Marie Boerner of Pasadena, a guest of Mrs. Elmer Leather- man, had been left out. Modest Mrs. Boerner "hung back" and so ends up in type, but not in a picture. One of these days when we have time (does anyone have all the time he needs?) we plan to go back to Butte Falls to talk longer with 83-year-old Mrs. Carrie Poole, to enjoy Mrs. Elga Abbott's gorgeous fuchsias and to visit with Mrs. N. B. Stoddard, authority on wild birds of Oregon. . On another of "those days" we'll go to Eaele Point and visit there. Mrs. Don Ashpole Invited us to the party which the exten sion unit gave, but we were all booked up. When Mrs. Ashpole came in last week, looking pretty in a bright blue polka dot dress. she renewed the invitation to visit her community and this we promised to do. One of these days. O.S.
