Because of the greatly increas
ed military forces now station-
ed in Alaska, the Armed Services
Department of the Young Men’s
Christian Association is raising
some $300,000 by voluntary sub-
scriptions for the construction of
a new YMCA center in the city of
Anchorage. The Department
emphasizes the need for recrea-
tional and morale-building faci-
lities in this remote area of
American defense.
“Peace Through Faith and
Works” is announced as the
theme of lay sermons on Lay
men’s Sunday, Oct. 15. This oc-
casion, when prominent laymen
in many parts of the nation will
occupy the pulpits and the min-
isters will sit in the congrega-
tions, is being sponsored by the
Laymen’s Movement for a Christ-
ian World. Wallace C. Speers,
New York merchant, is chair-
man; J. C. Penny, vice-chairman;
and Weyman C. C. Huckabee (347
Madison Ave., New York 17, N.
Y.) is secretary. The Movement
has members in forty states and
in six foreign countries. Its an-
nounced purpose is “To ' help
build Christian principles into
the everyday life of the world.”
Looking askance at the “cur-
rent militaristic policy of the
United States in its international
relations”, a group of 150 lead-
ers of the Methodist Youth Fel-
lowship, meeting recently at
Clear Lake, Iowa, voted the fol-
lowing resolution: “God being
our helper, we are resolved to
follow that higher patriotism
consistent with God’s kingdom,
which consists of support of con-
structive measures toward peace,
such as economic aid to under
privileged nations, active support
of responsible international gov-
ernment, and the reconciliation
of national differences through
democratic processes in accord-
ance with the Christian principles
of justice and love.” They also
said: “We cannot answer as ind-
ividuals the demands of our
country when these demands are
in violation of Christian prin-
ciples ; and, regardless of conse-
quences, we will follow our
Christian duty to the end.”
Begun in 1884 when the first
American resident missionaries
arrived at Inchon, the port of
Seoul, the Korean Christian com
munity prior to World War II
included nearly 400,000 Protest-
tarits and 200,000 Roman Cath-
olics. Missionary work, prior to
the invasion, was carried on pre-
dominately by American church-
es, with British, Canadian, and
Australian churches also repre-
sented in the field.
While the fighting is still, in
progress in Korea, American mis-
sionary leaders are planning an
advance program for the beleag-
uered country to be instituted
when the North Koreans are
pushed back to the 38th parallel
According to Dr. Rowland M.
Cross, of the Foreign Missions
Conference of North America,
the program includes a strength-
ened National Council to - breach
some of the postwar divisions a

mong Christians which have been
“scandalous and a disgrace to the
church.” To meet the challenge
of communism, according to Dr
Cross, “a social type of Christian-
ity” must be developed; “a com-
prehensive rural reconstruction
program . . . and community
centers adapted to the needs of
the city and industrial people.’
He also notes that prior to the
North Korean invasion, the
Christian dommunity had com-
pleted plans for a $120,000 radio
station at Seoul to broadcast the
Christian message to both North
and South Korea.
The Synagogue Council of Am
erica, the National Catholic Wel-
fare Council, and the (Protes-
tant) Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ, have united
in a statement of “The Objec-
tives of a Genuine Peace Pro-
gram” and urge all “men of
good-will to support them. They
said: Genuine peace requires
practical recognition of the fact
that not only individuals but na
tions, states and international
society are subject to the sover-
eignty of God and to the moral
law which comes from God. Gen-
uine peace requires of every
people: renunciation of the use
of war or threats of force as an
instrument of national policy;
loyal adherence to the solemn ob-
ligations of the United Nations
Charter; respect for and obser-
vance of human rights and" fund-
amental freedoms for all; parti-
cipation in positive programs of
the UN for the common welfare
and better standards of life; ac-
ceptance of international agree-
ments for the effective reduc-
tion and regulation of arma-
ments, including atomic weapons,
by all nations, through a trust-
worthy system of international
inspection and control.”
Under the leadership of the
Rev. Leslie Shepherd, their chap
lain, the prisoners in the Raiford
(Florida) State Prison are bus-
ily engaged in erecting a chapel
on the institution’s grounds.
While worship is a voluntary
matter, it is reported that ser
vices of all faiths are well at-
tended.

Alfred Lehne, Mgr.
^As a husband, Jimmy was
pretty much of a washout. Marie
had known he took a drink or
two when she married him, but
she had never thought he would
4et it get the better of him. And
there they were, eight years
married, with three of the
grandest “kids” you could Im-
agine, and Jim coming home late
from the office every night, not
drunk, mind you, but with just
enough liquor in him to make
him ugly. How often had he
picked a fight, pushed his chair
away from the table, and then
stalked out of the front door,
slamming it after him! It used
to be once or twice a week, but
now it was practically every
light.
Yet there was something love-
able in Jim. Even when he was
tipsy he’d come home, arms load-
ed with jelly - rolls, and little
fruit tarts, and chocolate eclairs
for the children. He meant well,
he was like the cow that gave
the bucket of good milk and then ing of
kicked it over.
A lot of trouble was set loose
in this world when Adam turn-
ed against God. We Catholics
believe that mankind was almost
ruined, what with intemperance
and lust, and greed befog un-
leashed in our bodies like so^
many wild dogs, trying to leaf
us apart. But we could never
believe that we are altogether
wrecked by that perverseness of
our first Father. No, there was
something good left in us —
something loveable — so attrac-
tive that it drew down the Son
of God to live with us and suf-
fer a torturous death by cruci-
fixion.
The Catholic Church takes that
little bit of good and works with
it, developing and strengthening
building on it, slowly, pare*
ully, a structure of heavenly
strength and beauty. She takes
philanthrophy and turns it into
charity; she takes humdrum af-
fections and expands them and
exercises them, until they take in
the whole world with a great and
other worldly love. She takes
an everyday taste for modera
tion, an admiration for cleanness,
and turns them into the gorgeous
diamond of godlike purity and
chastity. In other words, she
Uses the natural as a foundation
for the supernatural; so that the
sinner always has hope. The
poor fellow can believe that if
I Jie prays hard enough and works
j hard enough, he will be able once
j again to turn that little bit of
good in him against the self ish-
' ness which is now eating him
up.

How amiable are Thy taoer-
nacles, O Lord of Hosts! My
soul longeth, yea, even fainteth
for the courts of the Lord: My
heart and my flesh crieth out for
the living God. Ps. 84:1-2.
In a normal Christian’s life
there is longing for the courts
of the Lord. These courts are
to the New Testament church
the places of worship. These plac-
es of worship as humble or as
beautiful they may have been
erected, are set aside by prayer
and the Word of God for places
of edification, meditation, con-
secration, and sacrifices.
In this respect they are Sane
tuaries to the Believers. These
believers realize these places of
worships as sanctuaries. This
very thought is creating longings
of the soul for the courts of the
Lord. Here the believer’s soul
is pouring out before God his
deepest sentiments and desires;
here the child of God is prayer-
fully waiting for Christ’s instruc-
tion, admonition, and pardon.
And here the Christian is giving
wholeheartedly expression con-
cerning his demonstration of off-
ering for the purpose of the com-
Christ’s kingdom in his
heart, and to the world in gen-
eral.
How could a believer forsake
the Courts of the Lord? How
could a prayerful child of God
spend the Lord’s Day without
Consecration to God? Only a
worldly minded, half-hearted,
and materialistic type of a Christ-
ian neglects the Court of the
Lord. May we ask: Lord, what
attitude is mine in regard to Thy
courts? Lord, sanctify me
through Thy Truth, proclaimed
in Thy Courts!
We extend a cordial weloome
to all who desire to worship with
us.
