“The blood of the Martyrs is the

• When explorers reach the most
remote countries, far beyond the
limits of civilization, they find
certain charactaristics prevailing.
They find attempts at drawing,
crude and elementary hut suffi
cient to show that even among
savages there is an artistic tem
perament. The love of music and
the desire for recreation find
pression, though often in
mature ways.
The religious instinct is in

proven and demonstrated by
logic. It is one of the mysteries
of human nature and of the
mind; the most mysterious and
inexplicable of all our instincts.”
When Karl Marx said: “Re
ligion is the opiate of the peo
ple,” he was thinking of organ
ized religion as he saw it. No
doubt he had some justification
for his impatience with the
church as lie knew it. No candid
person will deny that many re
ligious systems have had serious
defects; the Bible itself is full
of protests against vain and
meaningless religious observances
but the writer of the forty-
second Psalm expressed what
millions have felt when he
wrote; “As the heart panteth
is that the

to human life. The
poet and philosopher, Al-
Lamartine, wrote: “Re
is not something to be
after the waterbrooks
eth my soul after
My soul thirsteth
the living God.”
It is this deep
for God in human hearts which,
more than all the philosophical
arguments in the world, proves
the spiritual nature of man. Dr.
Merton S, Rice put it in a force
ful way; “The thing which saves
me from my animal ness is that
there is a plus in me which is
not satisfied with being just an
animal. My chief differentiation
from Joe Mendi, a chimpanzee
in the Zoological Gardens, is not
merely that my . frontal bone
stands out more prominently
than does his. The really spacing
distinction between us is that I
am dissatisfied with being an
animal. That is the prophet of
my soul.”
On a recent visit to New York
City I saw a man on crowded
Broadway handing out pamph
lets and shouting: “There is no
God. There is no hereafter. It is
all a racket!"
to him; “You

done much good and brought to
many troubled minds confidence
and reassurance. Yet it is not
upon such a foundation that re

fact that what the Psalmist
wrote thirty centuries ago in
Palestine expresses what millions
feel today: “As the hart panteth

Teen Town
Hi, Teeners! I know we all
enjoyed our successful teen town
dance last Friday. There were
many there and the costumes
were exceptionally good.
The prize for the best comic
costume was won by Marg White
who was dressed as a boy. She
won a red wallet. The prize for
the fanciest costumes was won
by Barb Hunter who algo got a
wallet.
We have planned another
dance for a week from Friday
and want to see all teeners out.
