He has been writing a series of articles in Liberty "on crime prevention, and comes to this conclusion:. "One obvious reason why the present situation Is especially critical is the changed postlon of the church in commun ity life- . . . Even fifty years ago * most children attended Sunday school regularly ? although per... haps under protest! ? and were taught principles of moral and spirit u&l conduct which were more or less common to all denominations." "The church, which a generation ago would have been a first refuge in such an emergency, was out of the question. A study of more than 14,000 cases of youthful delinquency .had already shown that less than a third were connected with any church or religious group.' Since Mr. Cummings proceeded to lay toe blame (or this condition on careless parents, godless in practice if not in belief, the blame, and then the duty ' are laid squarely at the doors of ihe churches,' yours and mine.?Selected. MENTAL MAQNET8 Do you remember how as a boy you played with a magnet? And do you remember how, like magic, it would draw to itself nails and needles and other pieces of steel, while holding it over a piece of wood created no response? "Like attracts like' Is not only the f law of the magnet ? it is also tne law of mind. Psychologists tell us that we cannot store up thoughta> / of hate and draw to ourselves the love of our fellows. We cannot thlnn disease and be healthy. We cannot think defeat and win victories. To make our minds magnets for the best in life we must fill them with ^onstruclive, hopeftil, optimistic, harmonious, courageous. confiB i laa ? ...tm r-i.? ,i?...

A National Objective By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National Chairman ?? Sentinels of the Republic ?? Today In America both government and business enterprise are seeking a common objective. It la to Quick r n to their accustomed pace the productive forces of the nation ?and thus inerease employment possibilities and the general well-being of an our people. . There have been recent Indications that various leaders, both In and out of public office, realize the great need of working together toward this common end. AU Americans concerned with the progress and prosperity of our people will hope that these efforts prove successful. For, as the American people know, sound production ? with its increased employment?always brings added production. When wages are spent fsr feed, for i-wiihur and for the homes and recreational faculties of the a vera go worker they enato a desnnd for the prod acts of the farm, the mine and the factory which requires still mere smptoyassnt to fulfil. When wages furiosi because production has been discouraged, (hat dimsnd lags, and with H lag the employment ud general pwpwttr that It fermerty crwUd. No program of relief or other aid, however administered, can fin the piaoe of sound production as a method of creating new Jobs and greater inoosna for the American people. Mo Amtrloan prefers a bare subsistence Income to the pay envelope that comes with a real Job. No sound or lasting rscovssy can be expected until our ftpnmar cycle at demand and production is restored. Thriaghinl la^agi^esd. ' . y-c.-? \ WtiMittiii (Cont'd from front mi) (flat Ion Board.
