BRINSON As far back as history records, mankind has looked out unto the heavens and the stars and wonder ed; from whence do I come? and why? He is endov/ed with a driving creative force to search for knowl edge, for reason and logic. His awareness accepts that his exist ence is limited to an infinitesimal portion of eternity. As he looKs toward the inevit able end of his life span, some thing within him strives earnestly to find hope for that which is beyond the horizon of the living.. This, therefore, has been the basis for all religion since the be ginning of time. Man’s honest search for the hope of life to come. For years scientists, philosoph ers, free thinkers and religionists were in dispute. Approximately 100 years ago great minds such as Emerson, Thoreau, Lowell, Haw thorne, and Hale gathered together with religionists to discuss the nev/ ideas springing up in an era of controversy between religion and science. This meeting ended with a com mon understanding that all were in accord in the certainty that there was a Diety — a guilding force and power, a spirit — within each person and everything within the universe. At the same time the Diety was above and tran scending it all. Religionists still asked, why? And science still asked, how? Within the past few years, a new crop of thinkers now called scien tists, theologians, psychiatrists. Psychologists, philosophers, educa tors and other professionals met on an Isle off Portsmouth, N. H., with various Christian denomina tions, Buddhist, Humanist, and Jewish affiliates in a conference to discuss man’s quest to penetrate the mysteries of his existence.

Tips From New Bern's Post Offico ^ What’s Your Postal I. Q.? Twe a PALSaa ■82 ^ ^ 1, TRUE.—You can speed the delivery of your Government or other checks by notifying the issuing agency immediately when you move. You may obtain Form 3573, “Change of Address Notice to Correspondents,” for this purpose at no charge from your local post office. One important point to remember is to mail the change of address notice to tho agency which authorizes the issuance of the check, not to the disbursing office which actually issues the check. For example, if it is a Social Security check, send the notice to the Social Security Administration; Veterans’ Administra* tion for VA checks, etc. The S. B. Parker Co.

I have often said that man’s mind will be allowed to invent and discover and come upon truths, as things need be, until he is next to God. Mankind will con tinue to be in controversy in order for seeds of research to bear fruits of clarity and the same guiding force agreed to by all will con tinue to steer his destiny. When knowledge of the intel lectual has run its course and all he possesses is deciphered, he is still facing tho greatest void of his quest. From here — to where? and what? The same fate awaits the intel- lecutal as that of the ignorant. For when all of knowledge yet known to man has been weighed in the ^ CLEANERS 223 CRAVEN EXPERIENCED PHARMACISTS SERVE YOU COURTEOUSLY AND RELIABLY AT TONY'S DRUG STORE 1114 Queen Street ME 7-4060 balance he must yet turn to the last available source. It is here religion is his refuge. It is here he finds hope. And in the final analysis the same goals may be attained at the beginning of his quest as at the end — simply by extending his hand to God through faith. This truth was spoken nearly 2000 years ago to one who had to see in order to accept. “Blessed be those who have not seen, yet believed.” A husband is never as good as his wife thought he was before marriage, and never as bad as she thinks him after marriage.
