31 personal religion I do not pun 3 private religion, an ex- Pgnence separate from association with my fellow men. I strongly doubt that there is any such thing M . private religion, any more than there can be a private lan- ‘mge, 3y its very essence, religion, is social and has primary and direct bearing upon one's associa- tions with others.

A religion distinct from ethics uld morale becomes empty 1' illi- ism and sinks quickly to the evel or primitive magic. This oneness of experience with God and experi- ence with men is what the Pro- phet Micah meant when he pro- claimed: "He hath showed thee, 0 plan. what is good: and what doth Jehovah require of thee but to do justly, and to love kindness. and on walk humbly with thy God?"

I suppose that a casual observer examining my record might con- elude that my life has been one of turmoil and strife. I cannot deny that it has been one of struggle.

In the Mines

when I reached 1'1. I followed the trade of. my father and went to work in coal mines of the South- ern Ohio fields. I also joined im- mediately the struggle to better the lot of the men and the families they supported by telling in the dark and damp of subterranean pits.

Neither the work nor attempts to improve working conditions were exactly peaceful. The mines were dangerous; so were the picket lines.

My father and mother brought with them from across the see an intense loyalty to the people with whom they lived and worked. They brought also a deep sense of their duty to God A combination of this loyalty and this duty made a priceless heritage left me by God- fearing parents. Every morning and evening at six. Father led us in family devotions. Mother's life revolved around the union, the Baptist Church and the family.

In those days a strike might last from three to ten months. Miners’ families helped each other out; even so, we went bunny every now and then. I also saw Inmish mingled with fear lay hold of a family when fellow workers carried home a broken body. following one of the horrible accidents tlkat were so frequent in the mines.

i “Dcmleed and Rejected"

a I saw what it meant to mothers and small children when the bread- wioner was taken away or injured so that he could not work. In those days the law did not hold an em- ployer responsible for what mieht befall his workmen.

When Iwss sent to the State Senate a few years later. I re- solved to hit that failure and hit it hard. My proposal for a working- man's compensation law was greet- ed with cries of "Socialism" end termed an attack upon the Ameri- can system. I learned whet it meant to be ‘.despised and reject- ed of men.”

Many times in years that follow- Od casual onlookers might con- clude that there could be no peace for one so near the center of strug- lles that marked the efforts of American working men end men '0 lmlnove their lot. In many of those I was celled to play a lead- ins part. But throughout it all. there has been a way of inner

in the common people and faith in God. ,_ How can one have faith in God and not have faith in man.’ who is the child of God? 1 have seen the twisted. distorted nature of man at its worst. striving for wealth. posi- tion and power. And yet my faith is continually being restored by seeing the common people of this country in loyal and sacrificial de- votion to the cause of their mutual betterment.

Although I have seen grasping. self-seeking. evil-designing men in all walks of life, I have also dis- covered that when plain, everyday folk are given a way to make their desires felt, they invariably straighten things out. Right will prevail.

Faith in God. faith in man, I cannot say which comes first. I heard recently of a farmer who lived in that section of Michigan called the "Thumb". Spring comes into up there. because that section is almost completely surrounded by icy waters. One particularly late‘ spring, this farmer announced to his neighbors that he was convin- ced that spring would not come at all that year.

when they asked him why, he replied, "Everyone knows it can't get warm until the ice gets out of Lake Michigan; shd how is the ice going to get out until it gets warm?"

A Vicious Circle

The facts as this simple man ob- served them presented one of those. closed “Vicious circles." He failed to realise that his little thumb of land was only a small part of e Brest, wide world, in which, revolving in its course around the eternal sun. were set in motion cosmic forces far beyond his ken.

Many times during the last fifty years the cause of right and jus- tice seemed hedged in. Efforts to free it were blocked by a vicious circle, and there seemed no way out. To-day. in many ways, the world seems to be deadlocked. Hav- ing won a victory in war, we won- an whether we can summon enough good will and intelligence to win victories which belong to peace.

In perplexing times like these. I find again and again that I must rely on faith--faith that if all of us do our utmost there will be forces far beyond our ken that are at work for good in the great uni- verse about us. The stars in their courses fight for right. 'I;he ice will melt. and su.m':ner will come.

So it has been that in the midst of strife I have found peace. Faith in God. faith in man. Like the bow and the violin, together they make harmony.

SIONORROW: Totally deaf as a boy. Lucius Humphrey was in- spired with a. faith that he would hear again. ‘And the morning D.D come when he heard his mother's laughter.

Newcombe To Win 30 Games

(By Joe Roichler

VERO BEACH. Fla.. March 16- (AP)——Don Ncwcombc has yet to pitch a full season in the majors but already they're picking the big Negro rlghthnndpr to become the first since Dizzy Dean to win 30 games in one season.

Winning 30 is a stupendous feat, but the mere fact that players and writers are willing to speculate on Newcombe doing it is a tribute to the equipment and mound wizardry of the Brookly Dodger ace. Despite inexperience, Newcombc hung up a 17-8 record in 1949. He did not start it mnjor game until May 22 after he was brought up from Montrenl Roynls.

Dean amassed 30 victories in 1934 for St. Louis Cards. The last

ante was tossed II feet by a C.a‘.k. uetreii-Toronto passenger train on a orosalng at lailngion. 0nt.. its - Tregtmcnt was given on occupant; II’ D_|’. W. K. Fclltﬂll nearby.

Trust Funds Anti Employment Service

The following statement by Mr. R..P. Hartley. Moncion, regional superintendent, Atlantic Region, Unemployment Insurance Commis- sion, corrccts a statement quoted in the Guardian on the 11th in- stant from s Moncton exchange:

“The inability to procure em- ployment in the off season. the ex- panding bread lines in the thirties, and the hardships resultant there- from, led to the inauguration of a system that would provide both a National Employment Service and insurance benefits for those unem- ployed through no fault of their own. '

“The trust fund set up to take care of insurance benefits is not only helpful to those who drew the benefits. but it also helps the tradesmen ‘in the slump period to receive payment of their accounts without becoming too greatly tied up through too much extension of credit.

“With the extension of benefits that is now being provided by the Dominion Government through the balance of the slump season this year, and through the slump sea- sons for all the years that lie ahead. the value of these insurance benefits will become all the more apparent as time marches on.

"Insurance benefits have been a great help. but they were never intended. and never will. take the place of full or near full employ- ment. In 90 per cent of the cases people prefer employment to draw- ing on their insurance credits, and only drew on them by reason of lack of work which leaves them no alternative."

American League pitcher to win 30 or more was Lefty Grove back in 1931. Did Don think he could make it?

"I‘m not predicting anything." he said with a smile. "I have found. out that every guy who predicted‘ something wound up doing Just’ the opposite. But I will say that. I'm a better pitcher than I was last year. For one thing‘ I know the hitters better. I'm more e.\'- perienced and I'm developing a change of pace pitch to go with
