"The Holy Ghost," writes Stanley Rowland in a recent issue
of The Nation, "had better stay ghostly and the preacner plati
tudinous, for the homogenized suburbanite likes his religion un
like his martinis diluted." 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.
