H dltcusi.f th. tomtom between Proteitantt and t.atholir over questions of trhool bues, politics and otiier nattters. BY FR. THURSTON N. DAVIS Editor-in-Chief of America National Catholic Weakly There has been a lot said and a lot written recently about re ligious tensions. Many of us are concerned over them, particular ly over worsening relations be tween Protestant and Catholics. I am not alone in my judgement that these tensions are mount ing in the United States. My work as editor of the Catholic weekly review America brings School Starts; Sermons Told Jacksonville "The Pursuit of Happiness" will be the 11 a.m. service by the Rev. R o h e rt Bridge at the Jacksonville Presbyterian church Sunday.

Christian Church To Hear Report-Sermon A report of the State Con vention of Christian Churches will be given Sunday Vnorning at the First Christian church by the Rev. William C. Piper. The convention has been held this week at Turner and was attend ed by several members of the Christian church here. Stephen Farrish will sing the solo "We Adore Thee." The topic for the evening serv ice will be "Cisterns or Foun-, tains." The official church board will meet Monday at 8 p.m. This is the first meeting of the ne fis cal year. COMMUNION SUNDAY The Rev. G. Herbert Hiller- man will speak on "While Din ing With Them" Sunday at both the 8:30 and 11 a.m. church services at Zion Lutheran church. Holy communion will be observed. GUEST SPEAKER-SATURDAY Eagle Point C. F. Turvey will preach at the 11 a.m. wor ship service Saturday at the Eagle Point Seventh-day Ad- ventist church. SUBJECT TOLD Sermon subject at the 10 a.m. service at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, will be "God." Don't Say "Hello" Say "FILTER-FLO" me into contact with a number of respected Protestant 1 e a d e rs. Many of them are worried over this trend in our society. Is this tension a temporary thing? Will it soon be relieved? I don't think so. As Dr. Robert McAfee Brown wrote recently in the Protestant magazine, Christianity and Crisis, controversy is "sure to continue." He points to the like lihood that Sen. John F. Ken nedy of Massachusetts may em erge as Democratic candidate for the presidency in 1960. It is clear, Dr. Brown writes, that in the next three years "all of the old stock arguments about 'Cath olics in politics,' plus a good many new ones, will be hauled out, aired and employed with an increasing intensity, bitter ness and vigor." Act of Discrimination? . One source of religious ten sion which is certain to be with us for a long time is the current dispute over the use of public bus transportation for parochial school children. This important issue flared up in A u g u s ta, Maine, only a few rnonths ago. More recently, the state of Con necticut was sharply divided on this same question. A 133-133 tie vote in the state Legislature was broken by the speaker's ballot in favor of a bill which author izes Connecticut townships, on the basis of local option, to ex tend the benefits of this safety measure to all children. Naturally, Catholics feel that to deny this public-welfare bene fit to a child because he gets off the bus at a parochial school rather than a public school is an act of discrimination. They cite the Supreme Court's 1947 decision in the Everson case. Catholics demand this right for their children. Pr otestant spokesmen in Connecticut and elsewhere vigorously oppose it. Information invariably helps to solve problems of this kind. I have for some time advocated that Catholic parents make an effort to talk over this and re lated questions with their Prot estant neighbors. Catholics believe in religious education for their children. They want their youngsters to learn geography, a r i t hmetic, history, languages and science. But they also want them to learn about God, about their duty to know, love and serve Him. They feel that this can be done best in the atmosphere of a parochial school. The Supreme Court has clear ly upheld their right to choose such schools for their children. With untold sacrifice to them selves they have built and are maintaining these schools. In addition, they pay their taxes as citizens to support the public schools of the nation. If Catholic parents would only discuss the ways and wherefores of Catholic education with their Protestant friends, a lot of ten sion would be relieved. Some Catholics are doing this, of course. But many more of them should do the same. Most Prot estants have just never had an opportunity to find out, from a Catholic, what Catholic schools are all about. A great deal of sympathy and u n d e rstanding would come from these neigh borly conversations. There is too much fairness and good will among American non-Catholics for us to anticipate any other re sult. Bible School Contest At Church of Christ Centra! Point The Bible school of the Church of Christ, Central Point, will begin com petition in the nation-wide band wagon contest Sunday. It will continue for a two months per iod. The Rev. Mr. Jean M. Shel ley will preach on "Preparation For the Founding of the Church" at the 10:45 a.m. service and "The Relation of the Gospels to the Church" at the 7:30 p.m. service Sunday.
