Gloom and doom, two words glibly hurled about in political campaigns are also In the lexicon of 'he clergy. ' The Rev. Qalen Onstad, pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, says he believes many persons of naturally buoyant and happy de meanor are kept out of church by the depressing atmosphere created by some ministers of the gospel. "There are two methods Invoked In some segments of religion to day to gain parishioners with which I am not In accord," the Jtev. Mr. Onstad declared. "One la frighten ing people Into church and the other is assuring those who attend services that all their problems, both spiritual and material, will be solved bv the church." FAVORED GOOD TIME The pastor pointed out that Christ Himself demonstrated at the Mar riRge Feast of Canan that he was not opposed to people having a good time. "In some churches today," the Rev. Mr. Onstad said, "it seems the main purpose is to imbue the people with the idea that worship ing God is an arduous task which can only be accomplished with funereal countenence. "In my years of experience as a minister," he continued, "I have found that true Christians are hap py pccple who practice their re- ligion with joy. They do not go through life in an atmosphere of gloom and doom." The Rev. Mr. Onstad was born in Dawson, Minnesota, August 17, 1906. When he was a year and a half old. the family moved to Whao ton, North Dakota, where his fath er was engaged in the hardware business. AT SEMINARY In 1914, the Onstads moved to St. Paul. The future pastor attend ed Longfellow Grammar School and Breck Episcopal High School in St. Paul and the University of Minnesota. He comDleted his edu cation at Seabury-Western Semin ary at Evanston, Illinois, in 1933. He was then ordained at St. Mary's Episcopal Church In St. Paul. In the next few years, the Rev. Mr. Onstid served hi! church in St. Paul, Marshall, Minnesota, and Oakes. North Dakota. While in North Dakota, the young minister got what might aptly be termed a "baptism of. fire." It was in the darkest days of the depres sion and manv of his parishioners were living In tar paper shacks Two Bandits Rob Oakland Chapel OAKLAND (UP) Two bandits bound three owners with adhesive tape and robbed the Robinson Mortuary, 1901 Prultvale Ave., of $554 in cash early today and es caped under pistol fire in a hearse. The bandits told Burt Hurst and his wife. Velva. that they wanted to arrange a funeral for a cousin and asked to "look around." One of them pulled a pistol and bound Hursts. Harry Robinson, the other owner, entered and he, too, was bound. Robinson managed to unloosen himself, however, and fired three shots at the hearse stolen by the thieves. The hearse was found abandoned later at East 18th Street and 35th Ave., only a short distance from the mortuary. PREDICTION SAIGON. South Viet Nam UP U.S. Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker said Saturday the Viet namese army, "with a little more training." would be able to defend itself aeainst the Communist Viet-1 minh who control the northern half of divided Viet Nam. The American cabinet oflicer is on a tour of Asia. and subsisting on meager rations. - But when the depression clouu3 rolled away, the Rev. Mr. Onstad migrated to what to him in Biblical phraseology was a land of milk and honey Texas. - "Texas is big In more ways than one," he said, "We were able to build a $300,000 church In Amarillo in one year.
