Let's Get Religion
By EARL WHITLOCK
A child, when cvcrythlnK In
gohiK nil rlRlit with him, is o
solMmporlniit morsel, rebellious
auninst authority, Intent only on
- his own plcns
: uro. But when
i hn ntiimbleii and
1 tho bad old
I : pavement conies
v up and smacks
,-v i mm, nc comes
k rilmilni, h n m A
' fnp rnt,nlntlnn
.'and heip. Wc
aro 1 1 k o that.
When money Is
plentiful and
tho going Is smooth wo arc,
most of us, not so very rolls
lous. Dut in times liko these,
when fear nnd trouhlo and un
certainty and war como, wo
want to turn to tho Infinite
Ruler for renewed strength,
You'll find tho men In tho
armed forces havo this fooling,
too. That saying, "Thoro aro
no atheists in tho fox holes" Is
true. Tho boys nre coming homo
much more rcllglous-mindcd
than they went away. Not that
distinctions in creed will seem
important to thorn. Tho buddy
who saves tho Protestant's life
may bo a Cnthollc or a Jow qr
even a Mohammedan, But to
that saved boy he's an all right
guy and his religion will do in
tho pinches, whatever it Js call
ed. Rov. Harry Emerson Fosdyck
has said, quite pointedly, I
think, that "If wo could get re
ligion liko a Baptist, experience
It like a Mothodlst, be positive
about It like a Disciple, bo proud
of It liko an Eplscopnlinn, propa
goto It like an Advcntist, pay
for It Ilka' a Prosbytcrian and
enjoy It like a Negro wo would
have some religion!"
Maybe, we better try to ac
cumulate some ot that kind
for tho benefit of the boys when
they come marching homo.
Next Monday Mr, Whitlock
of the Earl Whitlock Funeral
Home will comment on This Is
Rod Cross Month.
