In spite of the fact that our home don't look like it, we're really neat and orderly by nature. It's just that we don't have time to work at It. if we had more time (we keep saying) we wouldn't have to snonH so much of it looking for things that we want and need. On the other hand, every we hunt for one thing, we Just today when we were delving In the depths of our big hDnknl, in fin.4 " . i..: : a.iuuDA wj 4iu aumc cAua nonplus, we came upon an ear ring which had been "lost" for the last couple of weeks.

We never did find the cards. If Mr. Robinson can wait another of the two or three years he's tne pampniet. And so it was last night. ping about Civil Defense, and instead came upon a copy of the Manchester Guardian with an article which we had saved because it seemed unusually challenging. Therefore this column, which started out to concern Civil Defense, about which we've learned a lot in recent days, is going to be about the Christian religion. The article, printed in the of The Guardian, and entitled Monica runong, about whom we know nothing. She wrote; The best thing about being a Christian at the moment is that organized religion has collapsed. I know, of course, that the Vatican Council meets, that in churches and chaDels ud and down the land people still splendid tarce ot established religion still continues, and that the Mothers' Union continues unabashed. I am deeply involved in an overwhelming debt and am only brash enough to scoff at it 90 per cent of the time. But for those who have ears to hear and lips to tell, it is common knowledge that the foun dations have shivered, that there are cracks a mile wide in the walls, that the hot ashes piety, and tnat tne lava is curling about our sacred objects. Lnacun a son gout, of course, but I cannot imagine a more enjoyable time to be a Christian, except possibly in the first few centuries of the Church. For while the great holocaust is sweeping away much that is beautiful and all that is safe and comfortable and unquestioned, it is relieving us of the methods of Christian bric-a-brac as well, and the liberation is unspeakable. Stripped of our nonsense wc may almost be like the early Christians painting their primitive symbols on the walls of the catacombs - the Fish, the grapes, the loaves of bread, the cross, the monogram of Christ. - confi dent that in having done so they had described the neces sities of Hie. And before every religious to me abusing the Church or the churches, and hailing me as a long-lost sister, let me quickly add that I am not advo cating do-it-yourself religion, and I don't believe you are nearer to God in a garden, and that the clergy are not (neces sarily) a lot of wicked old men. What has happened is wide open by much that is new and brave in human thought most notably by science instruments which are old and political pressure.
