Sixth St. Really Hot Wafer JPaDitpaDranripn For as long as men could think and dream, they have looked from the present into the future, hoping for a better, a more complete, a more ideal life, for mankind. More than 50 years ago a Canadian put into a book his dream for the future of the human race, and his belief of what that future might sometime bring. . This man, Richard Maurice Bucke, M.D., had a concept of religion about which one hears little at least in the everyday life of a western town, but which catches the imagination. "Cosmic Consciousness" was the name which the Canadian gave his book, and in it he put forth the idea that just as mankind attained simple consciousness, such as dogs and horses now have, and self consciousness, such as humans have already attained, so will we eventually have "cosmic consciousness" in which we will be aware of the life and order of the universe, will attain intellectual enlight ment and a high moral sense. (He believed that many persons now have no moral sense whatsoever.) He wrote "In contact with the flux of cosmic conscious ness all religions known and named today will be melted down. The human soul will be revolutionized. Religion will absolutely dominate the race. It will not depend on tradition. It will not be believed and disbelieved. It will notbe a part of life, belonging to certain hours, times and occasions. It will not be in sacred books, nor in the mouths of priests. "It will not dwell in churches and meetings and. forms and days. Its life will not be in prayers, hymns nor dis courses. It will not depend on special revelations, on the words of gods who come down to teach nor in any Bible or Bibles. It will have no mission to save men from their sins or to secure them entrance into heaven. It will not teach a future immortality nor future glories, for immortality and all glory will exist here and now. The evidence of im mortality will live in every heart as sight in every eye. Doubt of God and of eternal life will be as impossible as is now doubt of existence; the evidence of each will be the same. "Religion will govern every minute of every day of all life. Churches, priests, forms, creeds, prayers, all agents, all intermediaries between the individual man and God will be permanently replaced by direct unmistakable intercourse. Sin wiirno longer exist, nor will salvation be desired. Each soul will feel and know itself to be immortal, will feel and know that the entire universe with all its good and with all its beauty is for it and belongs to it forever. The word peopled by men posessing cosmic consciousness will be as far removed from the world of today as this is from the world as it .was before the advent of self consciousness." Dr. Bucke believed that in the past a few of the world's millions have attained some degree of this cosmic con sciousness, and that one of these was Jesus of Nazareth. Guests at the Dick-Couey wedding reception last Friday night wondered aloud "how in the world did they bring that cake to the church?" Potpourri inquired of the bride's mother, who made the several-story elaborate confection, and she said that the various layers and decorations were made at home and then assembled at the church. Mrs. Couey also made the bride's gown and the dresses which- the three attendants wore. Mrs. Wayne Wakefield, family friend, gave a helping hand on the gowns. Friends, neighbors and even total strangers are always eager to be helpful whenever a wedding is concerned. March 23 a clerk at Western Union received a cable which, at first glance, was undeliverable. Search found no such name, no such address. But it was apparently for a bride and brides groom, and the clerk wished very much that it could reach the couple on the wedding day. So she phoned florists and the society editor, and by chance was given a clue. The last call was to Mrs. Maisie Daily, Hillcrest orchards, who said that no Carlsons lived on Foothills road, but that the Casson family did. And in no time at all, Elizabeth Casson and May nard C. Culmer received best wishes from a friend across the seas. "Who shall roll away the stone?" was the title chosen by the Rev. Edwin T. Dahlberg of the National Council of Churches and pastor of the Delmar Baptist church, St. Louis, for an Easter message to Americans. The Rev. Dahl berg spoke of the stone which sealed Christ's tomb, and caid that Communism is like a gravestone "which seals up the entrance to nations all the way from the Baltic to the Bal kans, and from East Germany to Eastern Asia." The pastor added that just as the words "He is risen; he is not here" released a spirit of liberty and power through the earth that Easter day, so Christianity still brings the promise of equality and emancipation. He closed his message with the words "What death principle in man shall successfully resist the life principle in the risen Christ? Neither the bomb nor the tomb! ... a redeeming science and religion should stand together in the open doorway of the Nuclear Space Age to day, challenging us to turn from our preoccupation with death to the limitless potentials of life that are all around us."
