IPo.'itpoimiriri
For a long time Potpourri has
been wishing we had a whole
week just to read. Maybe we
could make at least a dent in
the stacks of books and maga
zines which have been steadily
getting higher for several years
past. So when the doctor said
"two days rest in bed" we
weren't really too upset. The
first day we did read, between
naps, and enjoyed every bit of
it. But the second day wasn't
half so much fun. For one thing,
it w.as spring outside. It was
warm, and we could hear the
blackbirds trilling (even with
one deaf ear) and the hum of the
sprayer across the road and the
clatter of the gasoline lawn
mower next door.
We wanted to be outside to see
how the new lilacs were doing,
and if any more daffodils were
in bloom and maybe dig out
some of the grass which has been
taking over the flowerbeds while
the March rains fell. Why
couldn't it have rained the two
days we had to spend inside! .
By some happenstance, our
reading seemed to fall into an
accidental pattern. First we dip
ped into an issue of The Satur
day Review in which Norman
Cousins said "The world is wide
open for a new and big idea.
Communism no longer fills that
particular role for millions of
Asians and Africans. Only a
short time ago Communism
seemed to many of these people
to be a fast express to a better
future. . . The result is that
countless people have been left
standing around and are waiting
for a new vehicle to go. For if
they have lost confidence in
Communism, their belief in the
destination is unchanged."
Then we picked up our new
ly unwrapped copy of "The
World's Great Religions" pub
lished by Life, and read the in
troduction "How Mankind Wor
ships" by the late Dr. Paul
Hutchinson, distinguished Meth
odist minister and for many
years editor of "The Christian
Century."
After writing briefly of the
history of man's religions, and
man's need for religion, the writ
er turned to Communism calling
it "another great power over
men's minds and acts indeed, a
faith which is at once the de-
GO
Phone 3-4620
nial of all religion and the most
potent expression of secular re
ligion ever to challenge the oth
er faiths." Dr. Hutchinson then
continues:
"When Communism, after it
had captured Russia, proclaim
ed its world mission, an English
archbishop identified it as a
'Christian heresy.' It is more than
that. Repudiating the ancient
religions as, in Marxist phrase
ology, 'the opium of the people,'
Communism is a burning faith
which is developing with amaz
ing speed the structural outlines
and apparatus of a church. It is
a faith proclaiming the coming
triumph of man over adversity
and evil, and man's eventual en
trance into earthly paradise. If,
as a writer in the New Testa
ment claims, faith is 'the sub
stance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen,"
then Communism, with its prom
ise of a classless social order
and an equal sharing by all
mankind in all the benefits of
life, surely is a faith.
"As for the apparatus, what
familiar ecclesiastical feature
does Communism lack? It has
its Revealers, Marx and Lenin.
It has its infallible scriptures,
its orthodoxy and its. heresy, its
martyrs and its apostates, its
hagiography and its holy office,
its initiation rites and its con
secrated burial grounds; it has
its missionaries and its hierar
chies. All it does not have today
is its divinities. But give the pro
cesses of human adulation an
other century or two to work
and the cynical gentlemen at the
party controls as much time to
manipulate them and who can
say that Marx and Lenin and
perhaps Mao Tse-tung may not
find themselves, to their amaze
ment, among the gods? The same
has happened to other agnos
tics." After quoting Arnold Toybee
to the effect that religion is one
of the essentials of human na
ture, and that when people are
starved for religion, they will
"extract grains of religious con
solation out of the most unprom
ising ores" Dr. Hutchinson adds.
"To the degree to which the
secular faith of Communism pro
claims the eventuality of human
triumph in this world, and to the
degree to which the theistic
faiths thrust man's fulfillment
beyond this world and beyond
history, the challenge of Com
munism will be felt through the
whole world of religion."
Dr. Hutchinson ends his fore
word thusly: '."These are critic
al days for religion. The enor
mous changes being wrought by
technology in every life on ev
ery continent and at every lev
el of social advancement, and
the even more enormous changes
which we can foresee with our
dawning perception of the forces
of the atomic age, make it im
perative that man' be saved from
that most demonic, and destruc
tive of all idolatries self wor
ship. Each great religion por
trayed in this book attempts to
save man from following the
road of self-worship to the City
of Destruction. All will accom
plish that purpose to the extent
that, in the words of the prop
het Micah'they inspire man to
do justly, and to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with (his) God."

The officer's mother, then Marie
Peary and now Mrs. Edward
Stafford, and Mrs. Strang were
neighbors in Washington, D.C.,
about 50 years ago.
Mi's. Staflord's father was the
famous explorer, Admiral Rob
ert E. Peary, credited with dis
covery of the North Pole, and
Marie Peary was the first white
child born north of the Arctic
Circle. After Mrs. Strang first
saw Commander Stafford on the
TV program, she wrote to him
in New York and soon received
a letter from her childhood
friend. Mrs Stafford is now in
New York to be in the audience
when her son tries for the $64,-
000 question next Tuesday night.

Many New Twists
In Floor Coverings
Chicago (U.R) Edward Fields,
a leading rug and carpet manu
facturer, says there will be many
new twists in floor covering
styles this year.
Designs will be drawn from
all periods, he said, and each
will blend with room settings
to fit any period.
Beiges and golds will continue
as leaders, as they did in' 1956.
But, he said, there is a strong
trend way from pre-established
color styles and toward rule-of-
thumb color selection.
Housewives will continue, to
turn to area rugs, although wall-
to-wall ' carpeting still will, re
main fairly popular. Unpolished
wood floors will be more in
vogue because of increasing sim
plicity of maintenance, Fields
predicted.
Anne Mason, home decorator
for one manufacturer (Lee) said
that California has assumed an
important role in setting nation
wide trends, because of the
growing fondness of Americans
for outdoor, suburban living.
People who live near the sea
have a serene outlook, claimed
Miss Mason. This envisionment
is reflected in their use of col
or. The softer, lighter tones, first
used on the West Coast, have
spread to the whole nation.
In the east, however, tweeds
are catching on, particularly
among young homemakers with
small children, Miss Mason said.
Carpet texture will be a lead
ing point of interest this year,
said officials of a Philadelphia '
company.
