"raking the matter of religion alone

as an example. it would not be im- possible today to find six persons of such diverse religious persuas- ion as a pagan, a Christian. a Jew. a Muslim. a Buddhist and a Hindu all occupying the same hospital ward.

I am citing these dlffsrencesnot Just to deplore the fact that there are deep cleavages of thought among men. What I have. in mind is a consequence more fundamen- tal and hence more serious than these differences. It is the import- ant fact that since truth cannoi contradict itself. the awareness of these divergences of outlook tends to affect neople's attitude toward truth itself.

There is evidence that more and more people. witnessing the multi- plicity cf contrary opinions ex- pressed in books, in the classroom. on the radio and elsewhere. are drawing the tempting conclusion that truth itself is unattainable. particularly in certain areas of thought such as religion, philoso- phy. morals and art. In these realms, many believe that we are obliged to content ourselves with opinion. They insist that truth is possible only rerzardlng concrete. observable facts. that is. things we can see and feel. if not by the sensrs alone. at least with the aid of such instruments as the tele- scope and the microscope.

. . .

This means that whatever is un- observable to the senses either is not a reality at all or at least can- not be cerialnlv known to be a reality. such things as man's spir- -itual soul and God. not being ob- servable facts. are merely mess- work and not the subjects of true knowledge, according to this view. As plausible as this restricted view of truth may appear to some. it nevertheless contains the seeds of its own uridofng and there are people todav whose vision is clear enough to see what it leads to and whose will is unfortunately bent

u on following the road to the end.

They realize that in order to have truths about facts. it is no- cessary lo have facts that make sense. Now facts make sense only on condition thatthlnlzs themselves are intelligible and things are in- ielllglble only if produced by some- ane with intelligence. That is why "men have always looked to the ex- istence of God for an explanation of the order and intelligibility in the universe. - I O 0

Without a God who is Intellig- ence. the universe loses its intelllr.- lbllity and lapses into absurdity. And if things are absurd. there is no possibility of truth. In such a universe. things are not what they are. there is no human nature. man is not accountable for the way he acts. there is no moral law. no right or wrong. no mad or evil. Man then has no ultimate destiny. no reason for his actions. He is reduced tn being a stranger in a world which makes no sense to him. This is what some people are thinking today.

An extreme position, indeed. but it has the value of maklns! clear the alternative. Either it is true

there is no intelligibility in things. the world is absurd and makes no sense because there is no God.

Since he has a. mind made for knowing truth. man cannot for long breathe in the unintelligible atmosphere of an absurd. nons;ns- ical world. Sooner or later. in or- der to avoid intellectual suicide. he will have to reaffirm the possibil- ity of attaining truth. As soon as he reaches this point. however. he will have to go on to affirm the existence of God. On this minimum of iruth, it is possible with a little intellectual effort for all men to agree. After that. those who have good will and humility will be disposed for the gift of faith. Faith will then enable them to agree on those other truths above reason which God has revealed through the teaching of Christ and handed down through the Church.

Dr. Therlault outlined briefly the present mental health situa- tion. Statistics. he rila, no my. ter how well presentotrwere al- ways boring. However. the fact that 5 out 0! 100 Canadian child- ren would sa adults enter a men- tal hospital, another 5 would be handicapped as to efficiency and happiness, while another would serve time for a major crime seemed to him to be.signlflcanfr- this plus the fact that 4 out of every 1000 Canadians were now in mental hospitals and that half of all hospital beds were now oc- cupled by mental patients. From a financial angle-34 million dol- lars were spent annually to pro- vlde care and treatment for patients in mental institutions.

Nevertheless it is in other fields difficult to measure that its true toll is being taken, the incidence of major crime, divorce, alcoholics and drug addicts, de- sertlon. cllronically anxious pso- plc. needless physical ill health. and millions of dollars lost through lost time and wages.

spent on ”nerve medicines."

Though the majority of men- tally ill can be cured or signi- ficantly improved, many need never occur. Public support was needed to improve and expand mental hospitals and clinics. More mental health training was need-

relationshlps was part of job-e.g. doctors, nurses. leach- ers and ciergymen- as to the latter he stressed" "there is no r-ea.son.for conflict between reli- gion and psychiatry."

He further stressed ihe ' im- portance of aiding the parents in understanding their children, help for the teachers in employing mental hygiene principles in the classroom and for the- parents and teachers to form an alliance in understanding the importance of childhood years. "The child should feel they are on his side. not against him."

Mental health is not the ab- sence of mental illness. it is a positive thing. Happiness, enjoy- ment. peace of mind are positive

joy living--life is worthwhile for them.

Treatment. it was felt was not the answer though certainly very important, however prevention was the goal to strive for. In this regard such things should be en- couraged. Hobbies. vacations. toi- erance and education. Very of-

latter two and nothing very con- structive done. Prejudlces,

the outcome of artificial dal-do-never found in always in adults. Certainly by un-

a "satisfactory middle path."

until the status of the teacher was raised to that of a profes- sion and the teacher treated as a human being with feelings and emotions like other people, then no mattet-'what the curriculum. our education system would not function at its peak. Certainly he felt mental health was essential here. Is along with parents. the teachers held a very important job in moulding the child's char- acter.

G01"! On to parents he em- phasized that marriage should be built on love not lnlfatuatlons. was a. permanent partnership and therefore should' be built on stable ground. The family should share its successes, its sorrows. The child should be made to feel that he is "one of them". After all it wasnt his idea to join the family-since he was invited in why not treat him like a valu- able addition.

if all would try to understand themselves better and their neilhbwfl too. then much pro- gress would be made in prgvent. in anxiety ilmm overotqrplng its bollndlfill of normalcy and be- cominl morbid. for when anxiety becom-es morbid i one becomes mentally ill. -
