' Plenty is not too much for the men and women and child-ren of the toiling masses, and the best is none too good foi them. It is a foolish society that does not provide plenty and even abundance for those who raise the beeves plant and reap the grain and hay, grind the flour and make the loaves; not too much for those who raise the sheep and the cattle, plant and pick the cotton', spin the yarn, weave the cloth and make the clothes, not too much for those who dig and haul the coal and pump the oil; not too much for those who dig the metals from the. earth; not too much for those who teach and guide the youth and for those who write and seek to inform their fellows. Of course plenty is not too much and the best is none too, good for all those whofeed andclotheand houseand hauland teach and entertain the world. All of us should be the heirs to all Eof the good things that God has created. It is blasphemy against Him to say that He placed all the resources in the earth solely for the few who are running and strong. So we mudt change it after the war. m m .... Universal Religion Contributed THE CHURCH OF THE FUTURE IS TAKING SHAPE . "The mysticism beyond science is the awestruck recogni-tion of the infinite mystery that is beyond all our knowledge, with a faith that the universe warrants our trust in it, and that the human spirit is the revelation of its soul and purpose. "There is a religion within and behind all the religions. There is one eternal temple. Its floor is the green earth. Its dome is the star-sow- n vault of heaven. Its altar is the human heart. Its worship is service of our fellow-men.- " Edward Howard Griggs "The Church should be an institution for service to human-ity in every way that humanity needs service." It is the orig-inal and historical purpose of the church. Emerson said that "an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man," and insofar as the church is an institution this applies to every church founded as a result of the teachings of the great prophets and instructors of mankind . . . Budhha, Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, and others. It is well to remember that the religious instinct existed before any church came into existence, just as the instinct of hunger existed before chain stores and the like were evolved in order to min-ister to it. The church, just as every other human institution, is bound to undergo changes in a changing world. It exists in response to human needs, and its success is to be measured in accord-ance to the degree that it truly serves these needs. The purpose of the church is not to rule mankind (although power-hungr- y theologians have, in the past, attempted to do so). The purpose of the church, as modern man sees it, is to GUIDE and to instruct mankind in the fundamentals of Divine Law. Its function is not to bind and repress, but to liberate and release the individual from the mental and spiritual shackles that come between him and the Universal Mind. .Its.. aim .i$ ,ta,elease his fears, follies and frustra-tions to inspire him to seek the Way, the Light, and the Truth to raise his "levels of life" by raising his conscious-ness of the presence of God in all his thoughts and deeds and visions. It is not the purpose of the church to stand be-tween a man and his God, but to bring them together. The only way in which the Church can aid man in his quest for salvation is to help him to reconstruct- his entire attitude to-ward Life. It is in this sense that a man may be "born again" and earn his initiation into that select company of mortals whose minds are in tune with Divine Mind, whose wills are attuned to the Divine Will. U.

We hold that absolutely no restrictions should be placed against the soldiers that are not placed against the civililians- - If liquor is not good for the fighting men it is not good for the home defense men, women and children.

Editorials (CONTINUED) while the vultures of greed fatten on the tears, sweat and blood of the men in uniforms and the heartbreak among those at home. But we tell them now that this war will kill for them the goose that is laying their golden e g. Shame to Traitors and Profiteers. It sickens our soul to hear or read of traitors to America, and to learn of "criminal" profiteers taking advantage of ' ' the public and raking in millions at the price of the blood and suffering of the soldiers and sailors and airmen who are fighting the battles for freedom, some of whom are right now starving in .the vile prison camps of Japan. And while on this subject let us quote from a congressman who said recently: "If there be any burden upon the conscience of anyone under the American Flag, it must rest upon those who ai med Hitler in the air, who sent munitions by the thous-ands of Ions to Japan, so that the sales might contribute further to the private profit of American munition makers." During the three months, July, August and Septemberof 1941 the Du Pont munition makers made $40,000,000 more than they did in the same months of 1940. This and other similar items, led Sen. Walsh to say: ' Its going to bean awful day of reckoning when the people get the figures on defence profits."

Your countrv is today in a more danger-ous position than it was when Washington and his soldiers froze and starved at Valley Forge, or when Lincoln wept in the darkest days of the Civil war. Neither of them had such enemies as we have today. They and their coun'ry survived. Can we and our country survive? Not unless we stand unitea like a stone wall. If the fires of hell break loose from within as they have broken loose from without we cannot survive. Make the most of -- this statement for it is true. Let us All be true to our country When Its Over. When the present titanic struggle of destruction and mur-der is over we, as a nation and a world, must prepare to do diffi-rentl- many of the things sve have been doing, or else the whole sacrifice will have been in vain. We must cooperate to liberate the human family from poverty, ignoiance, tyranny and oppression and bring the people into the life of real freedom abundance. We must release ourselves to higher achei ement, broader education, high :r culture, deeper spiritual values.. We in list let go of some of the stale institutions that stand in the way of progress and happiness. We must let noth-ing obstruct truth and light and progress. We must strive to make it so that the greatest good will be the love of all humanity in brotherhood, w Japan Makes Oil From Coal Hon Hubert Wilkensen, who lectured in Salt Lake Tues-day evening, stated in plain language that Japan gets something like 8, 000, 000 tons of oil a year from proces-sing its coal and shaie. What could not be done in Utah where we have the world beat on coal resources? Enough oil could be produced here from the immense coal depos-its to help greatly in the war. plan Allied Air Moves Against Axis k - ' .
