No...Belief in God
EDITED BY RUTH DIXON
Is NOT Enough!"
Marry-Qo-Round Mystery By Hans Kreis
Many people are risking their
eternal salvation on a "religion" of
their own . . . which is actually no
religion at all.
"Oh, I believe in God," they say,
"but I don't go to church. I'm just
not the religious type."
Almost everybody, of course,
believes that there is a God. Com
mon sense tells us that this is so.
But if we actually believe there is
a God, should not this same com
mon sense tell us we must do
something about it? And how can
we give expression to our belief in
God if not through religion?
Religion is simply the conse
quence of our realization of Who
God is. It is our striving to be
honest and consistent with this
knowledge to learn and fulfill
our duties to our Creator.
Catholics believe that God cre
ated us for a definite purpose...
that He gave us the intelligence to
. recognize what that purpose is
and the means to fulfill it. It is
through our religion that we give
evidence of our desire to honor
' and serve God. It is through re
ligion that we approach God in
faith, repentance, love and grati
tude. If you are living in the belief
that you don't need religion.. .that
all you have to do is to believe in
God and live a moral life... we
urge you to ask yourself these
questions NOW: "Why am I
living? Why did God create Me?"
The most elementary common
sense answer is that you are living
because God created you... and
that God has a purpose in doing
so. Catholics believe it is our duty
to find out what God's plan is for
our lives and do our best to live
it.
If you have been living without
any deep religious convictions . . .
it will pay you to read a specially
prepared pamphlet which we will
send you without cost or obliga
tion... and nobody will call on
you. It discusses such questions as:
Can the truth of Christianity be
proved? Is it honest to ignore re
ligion? Is science, ethics or educa
tion a substitute for the Church?
Also other topics that should con
cern you deeply. For free copy

Kite-Tim Tip By Leo Lyons
The months of March and April, when
the weather is breezy and often mild, is
the kite-flying season.
Who doesn't thrill to a tug on the line
from a kite merrily balanced high up in
the air? But did you know that your kite
can do more than fly? It can send mes
sages, too, and this makes for some extra
fun. Here's how to send a message by kite,
mail.
Punch a neat hole in a strong piece of
paper and cut a slit from the edge of the
paper to the hole. Write your name and
address on it with a message asking any
one who finds it to send it back to you,
telling where it landed.
When your kite is well up in the air,
slip the message onto the line. The wind
should carry it up bit by bit until it
reaches the kite. Soon it will be blown off
and carried away.
If you send several messages, there is
a good chance that at least one will be re
turned, and you will learn how far your
message traveled.
Stab the Apple
By Ragna Eskil
(For younger girls and boys)
Give each player an apple or an orange
and a small pile of colored toothpicks, then
see who can stick in the most toothpicks in
10 minutes.

From Outer Space!
By Betty Kahn
Outdoors this spring you can look like a
man from outer space. Here is how you do
it. Put a dab of zinc ointment on the end
of your nose. (It keeps your nose from
getting sunburned, too!) Find two small
leaves about two inches long. They should
be oval-shaped. Wet the underside and
stick on your eyelids. They will stay in
place if you are careful. A paper-bag cap
trimmed with leaves would be funny, too.

Drop-a-Letter: What Am I?
By Bertha R. Hudelson
I am used to rest upon!
Drop my first letter. Now
I'm part of bears and dogs and you,
And even a horse and cow.
Again drop my first letter. I'm
A thing, not seen but found
Sometimes pure and sometimes not
Everywhere around.
