While hundreds Cf openings exist in local mines, most of the men now unemployed are not suitable for work underground, by reaâ€" son of youth, age or physical unfitness.

Ont for this event, and he is kure little dazedly in today‘s high speed materialistic mode of life, the armrs of religion have become of little conâ€" cern. The mechanized influence, the Hollywood outlook, the concern with money, the feverish urge for amuseâ€" ment, have all been factors in recent years in helping to abliterate the forâ€" gotten and vital role religion takes in the lives of men. To many, churchâ€"going has been reâ€" garded as an activity for the stodgy element of the population. It has beâ€" come something which is the property of people who are not "wised up" to the more important things in life â€" things which a person can own and feel and enjoy. However, as it becomes more and more apparent that the Christian reâ€" ligion is the one remaining builwark of the type of civilization and . freedom enjoyed in the Western Hemisphere and that the true origin of the priâ€" vileges of citizenship enjoyed today are outgrowths of . the tenets of brotherhood laid down almost . two thousand years ago by Christ, the "modernistic‘ outlook toward religion is cha.ngmg The most emphatic proof of the true role of religion is the unbending forts by totalitarian states to emasâ€" culate it or stamp it out altogether. It is the foe of the barren philisophy of dialectic materialism of the Soviet and her satellites. This atheistic, cutâ€"andâ€" dried philosophy which would relegate man to the status of a carefully suâ€" pervised barnâ€"yard animal, finds its greatest threat from the inspired creed of Christianity which lifts man to a plane near to God, which endows him with freedom of action, liberty of will and self-dependency rather than slavery. by the Advance this weéek, a slow, gradually accelerating movement is afoot among that portion of the popâ€" ulace which has ignored religion in the past to resume the practise of going to church. | "Church attendance in Protestant congregations are . sl‘ghtly ; higher," said Rev.

"But: most . people seem to‘ be: regarding, reHgion in a more serious light than }ormerly. This, L believe, is due to the persecuâ€" g‘on religion is undergoing in many ectiohs of the world." He said that the economic principles of totalitarianism were not so much to be feared as the philosophic prinâ€" ciples. "It seems to me that the economit¢ threats could be eliminated if: we did a little houseâ€"cleaning df our own economic injustices,â€" which . still abundantly â€"exist. «What â€"we â€" to fear from a spiritual point of view is the negation of everything supernaâ€" tural in man which is the basic outâ€" look of totalitarianism. 1 am sure that threat if we undertook to perfect our present system," he stated. â€" . M en Reverend Father J, R. O‘Gorman, pastor of the Church of the Nativity, emphasized the social obligation man has to make organized worship to God. "Man‘s duty to worship God cannot be adequately filled outside of partiâ€" cipating in congregational »services," he said. "Listening to the ‘radio on Sunday morning is a very poor substiâ€" tute.
