TWELVE MASON CITY GLOBE-GAZETTE, SEPTEMBER 21 HI 1936 CARLSON STATES PREPAREDNESS IS CHRISTIAN VIRTUE Be Ready To Meet Friends as Well as Enemies, He Declares. Emphasizing the quality of preparedness as a fundamental Christian virtue, the Rev. Alexander Sidney Carlson told the Boy Scouts and the adults in the congregation of the First Congregational church Sunday that the distinctive difference in Jesus' ruling idea toward preparedness lay in the Master's attitude toward people. "Although we should be prepared to meet cur enemies, Jesus laid less otresa on that than on being ready to meet our friends," the pastor stated. "All His parables of preparation presuppose the final meeting with friends, "Parents, comrades, church members, humanity at large, and finally God must be met, and to be prepared to meet them with largest effectiveness is one of life's major issues." In speaking of being prepared to meet one's teachers he said: "Our teachers are our friends.

Perhaps youth may not think so now. But youth will change its mind later on. Teachers are here to help you. You may think them too strict, but strict they ought to be. They ought not to allow you to loaf, or dawdle, or to do just as you please.

They ought to set the standards high, and to insist that you come up to them. They ought to compel you to toe the mark. They are not true friends of yours if they let you off easy. You may not like their criticisms, but their criticism will do you good. Every slip in grammar, every mispronunciation, every erroneous date, every slightest fault ought to be pointed out.

The more deeply interested teachers are in you, the more zealous they will be to deliver you from all defects. "A boy who comes to the classroom says, unprepared' is misjudging the value of precious time. Any lad or girl, who is willing to do less than the best that might be done in a given assignment is rubbing the edge off of conscience which finally shows up Inter in slovenly citizenship. Go to class prepared. Do the job to the best of your ability, as well as a lad of your size and skill can do it.

We ourselves are only the losers when we fail to meet our teachers and their demands with full preparation. We know in our own souls when we have done less than our best." At the morning service of the Church of Christ D. L. Kratz spoke from the text, Matthew 16:18. "Jesus declared in establishing his church, "The gates of hades or hell shall not prevail against the minister declared.

"He meant more than that the church would endure throughout the ages against all the forces of death. He meant that the church would even send out aggressive forces into the world, before which even death itself would be de stroyed. Is the church succeeding in this challenge? "The helplessness of the church and Christianity as a whole in the face of national disturbances and the threat of war makes us question as to how effective the Christian religion is in bringing peace on earth. The great problems of capital and labor, economical and racial antagonisms challenge the church and at present Christianity seems to have no adequate program for solving these problems. Nor is the church succeeding in its individual program with 17,000,000 boys and girls in the United States receiving no Christian education, with more than half of the citizens of this so- called Christian nation not associate! with any church and scarcely more than 25 per cent of those that are associated really active or vitally concerned about the church.

There is waste through the dissipation of its forces. Each church can barely support its own program and has no power left for its great mission of saving the world. There is loss through unfriendly feelings that results from the divided church. But the greatest loss is through the psy- cology of the average person within and without the church who have 'been led to regard the church as a matter of personal taste rather than divine duty.

The approach towards religious tolerance by acknowledging the value of all churches has had the opposite effect of causing a real lack of faith in the divine ne cessity of any church." "Matter," Subject. "Matter" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, September 20. The Golden Text was from John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." The Lesson-Sermon comprised quotations from the Bible and from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. One of the Bible citations read; "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are -your waya my ways, saith Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isa, Among the selections from the Christian Science textbook was fhe following: "God's thoughts are perfect and eternal, are substance and Life, Material and temporal thoughts are human, involving- error, and since God, Spirit, is the only cause, they lack a divine cause.

The temporal and material are not creations of Spirit. They are but counterfeits of the spiritual and (P. 2S6). Assistant at Trinity. The calling of an assistant pastor is proving to be a great help in the general work at Trinity Lutheran church and at the Trinity chapel, it was stated by the Rev.

Remember It's THE BIG NIGHT HEARST REPLIES "TO PRESIDENT" Claims Roosevelt Receives of "Enemies of Ambncan System." NEW YORK, Randolph Hearst, 73 year old operator of 25 newspapers, published Monday "a reply to the president" in which he said he had shown Mr.

Roosevelt receives "the aupport of enemies of the American system of government." The thousand word statement was cabled by the vacationing Hearst from Amsterdam, a day after the white house in a statement said "a certain notorious newspaper publisher" was attempting "to make it appear that the president passively accepts the support of alien organizations hostile to the American form of government." The memorandum said "such articles are conceived in malice and born of political spite." Hearst's "reply" followed his newspapers' publication of an article asserting Russia and the communist party of the United States -were taking part in the presidential campaign "on the side of the new deal." No Further Comment. The white house made no comment beyond its original statement, tut Earl Browder, communist candidate for president, said: "The Hearst-Landon campaign must indeed be weakening if it needs such desperate lies to bolster it recalled a May 20 speech in which he said "we do not commit ourselves to Roosevelt" through "a united front with workers who support Roosevelt." "We do not and will not take any responsibility for" Roosevelt, Brow- cier said he asserted at that time. A sidelight arose in Pittsburgh, where Hearst operated radio station WCAE announced it -would carry three subsequent radio addresses by Browder after canceling a network broadcast by the communist candidate Aug. 12. An official of the station said counsel had advised acceptance of the broadcasts in view of communications act provisions requiring "equal opportunities" of the air for all candidates for public office.

Notes "Misstatements." Hearst in his "reply to the president" expressed a desire to "correct Mr. Roosevelt's misstatements."
