MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Qregeii, Friday, August 29, " Recent Surveys Indicate That Mixed Marriages Are By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International When a Protestant boy falls In love with a Catholic girl, neither of them likes to be told an interfatih marriage is a perilous undertaking. But that's precisely the ad vice they'd probably get if he consulted his pastor and she consulted her priest. "Mixed marriages' are in creasingly common in this country where Protestant and Catholic children grow up in the same neighborhoods, par ticipate in the same commu nity events, and often attend the same schools or colleges. According to the official Catholic Directory, one-fourth of all marriages in Catholic churches involve "mixed" cou ples. The figure does not in clude the large number of Catholics who marry non Catholics in civil or Protes tant ceremonies. Source of Tension Some inter-faith marriages work out fine. But clergy men of both faiths say a dif ference of religion often be comes a serious source of ten sion. This .assertion is sup ported by at least three sep arate surveys in Michigan, Presbyterians Slate Guest Speaker, List Sunday Topics - George Selleck, summer assistant, will preach at both services this Sunday morn ing at the First Presbyterian church. His sermon topic will Be "Why Did Jesus Die?" with his text based on Ro mans 5:1-11. Z This will be Selleck's last Sunday with the congrega tion, since he will leave on Sept. 1 for his second year of studies at Princeton Theologi cal seminary. The soloist for both serv ices will be Lynn Sjolund, who will sing "God Is My Strength." Mr. Sjolund will direct both the Chancel choir and the Westminster choir during the coming year and has announced that practices for both choirs will resume regularly beginning the first week in September.

The. pastor, Mr. Howard Simmonds, and two teen agers, James Irwin and Philip Crammer, are a m o ng the counselors at Junior Boys carnp at Lake of the Woods this week.

Devotions and . a meeting for the election ' of officers will follow the other activities. Maryland and Washington state which show divorce and separation rates run about three times higher in mixed marriages than in those where husband and wife are of the same faith. Pastors and priests also are troubled by evidence many "mixed" couples solve their ' problem by turning away from religion alto gether. A Catholic bishops' com mittee conducted a 10-year survey of this problem. It concluded about 30 per cent of Catholics who marry non Catholics are "lost " to the faith." A Methodist sociologist. Prof. Murry H. Leiffer of Garrett Biblican institute, in terviewed more than 400 cou ples who had married across religious lines. He found one fourth of them no longer maintained even a nominal church connection, while an other fourth had not attended church in more than a year. Reflected in Children This tendency to sweep the "sore subject" under the rug also is reflected in the chil dren. A YMCA study re vealed that in families where Geneva Fellowship for post-high school young peo ple will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Frohnmayer, 1656 Spring st. After a period of swim ming and recreation, the group will discuss plans for the fall and winter program.

The next series of Chirrch manship classes is scheduled to begin on Sept. 7 from 4 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon and will continue at this same hour for the four Sundays in September, with Dr. West conducting the class for adults and the Rev. John Reynolds leading the classes for the young people. These classes are for prospective members and will cover some of the fundamental beliefs of the Presbyterian church. Those interested in joining the church are invited to attend.

Holland, minister of the First Presbyterian church here, will deliver a sermon on "A Man's Calling" at both morn ing worship hours Sunday. Methodist Sermon to Be on Labor Subject Dr. George G. Roseberry. pastor of the First Methodist church, will speak on "Waste, Want and Work" Sunday for his Labor day sermon. Fea tured soloist for the worship service will be Ralph K. Van Horn, Portland, who for the past two years has been solo ist with the Willamette uni versity senior choir. The anthem for the 9:30 a.m. service will be "The Heavens Resound" and the anthem for the 11 a.m. service will be "My Task." SERMON SUBJECT "Christ Jesus" will be the subject of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, sermon at 11 a.m. Sunday. Everyone is welcome to attend. Unstable both parents were Catholics, 92 per cent of their sons also were practicing Catholics. Where both parents were Pro testants, 68 per cent of their sons were practicing Protes tants. But in "mixed" fami lies, only 34 per cent of the sons were practicing mem bers of either faith. The spiritual perils of a mixed marriage are officially recognized by the Catholic church. Its Canon 1060 for bids a Catholic to enter into a mixed marriage without special dispensation. This is granted .only in cases where the non-Catholic partner to the marriage signs a pre-nup-tial contract guaranteeing the faith of the Catholic partner will not be "perverted" and all children born to the cou ple will be "baptized and brought up in the Catholic faith." Provokes Resentment Canon 1060 has provoked widespread resentment among Protestants. Its exist ence is often cited by Protes tant clergymen as a main rea son for their opposition to mixed marriages. The Episcopal church has issued a pamphlet warning its young members they will deny the validity of their own faith if they sign a pre marital agreement in which they surrender any voice in the upbringing of their chil dren. The most renent Protestant reply was made in West Ger many where there is a grow ing number of inter-faith marriages. The West German Conference of Lutheran Bish ops objected sharply to what it called Catholic "pressure" on Protestant partners to solve the problem. The bishops' statement con cluded with a plea to Luther ans to "remain loyal" to their own church and to "insist" their children be brought up as Protestants. Take a close look at a church hymnal some day and you'll see why music is called "the universal language." There is no denominational gulf so wide that it can't be bridged by a good hymn. The fact that Christians are more united when they sing than any other time is demonstrated by a new hym nal recently adopted by eight major Lutheran bodies asso ciated in the National Luth eran Council. Martin Luther is represent ed by seven hymns, including "A Mighty Fortress1 Is Our God." But Luther is a minor contributor compared to Methodist Charles Wesley, who has 17 hymns in the col lection. A Catholic whose work appears in the new Lutheran hymnal, as well as in many other Protestant hymnals, is John Henry New man, who left the Church of England and became a Cardi nal of the Roman Church. His best - known hymn is "Lead, Kindly Light." The interdenominat i o n a 1 traffic in sacred music moves both ways. -Most Catholic hymnalsi of recent years have relied heavily on music com posed by - Johann Sebastian Bach, a dedicated Lutheran. .There are scores of hymns, found in both -Catholic and Protestant hymnals, which date 'from the era when the Christian church was undi vided. This common heritage includes the numerous psalms that have been set to music, and the ancient "plainsong" melodies that may have been derived from Hebrew temple chants. A familiar example of the latter is "Come, O Come, Emanuel." Perhaps the most "nonpar tisan" category of hymns are those associated with Christ mas. It would not be the least bit unusual, for example, for a program of Christmas carols to include the Catholic ' "O Come, All Ye Faithful," the Unitarian, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear;" the Episco pal "O Little Town of Beth lehem," the Congregational ."Joy, To The World," and the Methodist "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." Hymn Writers Ignored One reason why hymns pass so readily over denomi national barriers is that peo ple tend to pay very little at tention to the names of their composers and authors. Few regular church-goers, for example, could identify Isaac Watts. Yet many of the 600 hymns that Watts wrote in the 18th century are still being sung. And some of them, like "O God, Our Help in Ages Past," are among the most beloved in the English language. Such is the anonymity of hymn -writers that some of the very best are remember ed solely for their accomplish ments in other fields. Every school child knows that John Greenleaf Whittier was a great American poet. But how many know - that - the gentle THE REV. AND MRS. ' EDGARD CRUCE Newly Arrived Couple Pentacostal Ministers Valley Church Gels California Minister The Pentecostal Sunshine Gospel church announces the arrival of the Rev. and Mrs. Edgar Cruce and their daugh ters, Leah, 18, Letha, 16, La donna, 9, and Deborah, 2.
