CHAPTER XVI The Stage Set for Prophetic Thunderings

'T'O formulate in both intellectual and heart-compelling terms the JL creed that will command the allegiance of the members of the true Catholic church or corporate body of Christ, whatever the nominal names may be. is the duty of the prophets of this age. The stage is set for their passionate thunderings, their intense longings, their visions of ultimate purposes. They can usher in a millennium—the “Novus Ordo Saeculorum"—or they can consign us, because of our unbelief and hardness of heart, into a captivity of long years of suffering.

This will immediately raise in your minds questionings as to the part of existing religious organizations in serving as channels to nourish and express the prophetic spirit. I realize that religious organizations have a certain usefulness in perpetuating vital traditions even though they may resemble shells and I recognize in some of these shells out of the past, a lovely odor of sanctity before which I personally can bow in real reverence, yet I also know that there are many of this generation who are repelled by the names and forms of the past and who at the same time have a genuine reverence for the life within. Modern science, economics andpsychology have caused them to to have a profound distrust of the Aristotelian scholastic reasoning of the Catholic church on the one hand and the fundamentalist literal holding fast to the scriptures of the stricter Protestants on the other hand. They know of the intolerance, cruelty and bigotry displayed in previous centuries by these tw r o groups and they would lay down their lives to prevent any revival of such narrowness whether it be in the name of the Lord or the name of the Devil. n a u QOME generations ago, both the Protestant and Catholic churches were very hesitant to recognize scientific truths which are now of necessity accepted everywhere. Is there no universal solvent by means of which genuinely devout and intelligent Catholics, genuinely devout and intelligent Protestants, sincere and earnest humanists and all other well-wishers of the richer life can feel kindly toward each other within certain bonds of the spirit? Most of us are of necessity practicing: a kind of dualism. I find myself, for instance, in the company of scientists using the terminology of scientists and laughing unconsciously when certain fun is poked at the musty fustiness of the religionists. In the company of economists, striving to define clearly the forces that make for social balance, I find myself falling into their particular terminology and becoming very skeptical about forms of religious life which are merely personal and which permit certain saints to enjoy the luxury of religious ecstasy without having any effect on eliminating the injustices inherent in the social system w'hich supports them. In the company of journalists, I find it easy to skate over the surface of things with a sophisticated terminology which nevertheless is very effective in pricking

the hypocrisies of those who take themselves too seriously. Must those of us w T ho believe there is something profoundly significant in religious life hold that as something altogether separate and apart from the life in the world of practical affairs or can not some unity, some broader catholicity be introduced? nun THE ultimate reality, I am convinced, is much more in line with what the prophet saw’ and with what Jesus saw than most of the humanists w’ould care to admit. There is continuous danger that economic organizations, poKical organizations, church organizations and scientific organizations, in structure, language and thought will tend to obscure these lealities. There is just as much danger of superstition and orthodoxy in the scientific and economic world as in the world of religion. There is always danger that the bright young men who from generation to generation work for anew deal will forget that the science and economics on which their faith is oftentimes based is perhaps to seme extent out of date. I suppose the thing which I am arguing for fundamentally and eventually is a continuous, fluid, open-minded approach to reality, which at the same time is deadly in earnest. I can not help but feel that the destiny of the world is toward a far greater unity than that which we now enjoy and that in order to attain such unity, it will be necessary for the members of the different races, classes and creeds to open their hearts and minds to the unfolding reality of Hie immediate future in a way which they have never done before. The stress and strains of the next twenty years are going to be peculiarly favorable to such an awakening. Men will undoubtedly arise who can make the issues vital and real, i feel it is impossible to clarify the issues further until such time as the pressure of events have further sharpened our inner vision.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DEMOCRATS SET TO CLOSE WIRT QUIZ IN HURRY G. 0. P. Flouted in Effort to Widen Probe on Brain Trusters. By United Peru* WASHINGTON. April 11.—Congress sputtered with political controversy today as Democratic leaders prepared to wind up the inquiry into the red plot charged by Dr. William A. Wirt, Hoosier educator, against members of President Roosevelt’s brain trust. Republican members made no headway against Demoocratic opposition to their proposal to broaden the Wirt inquiry into an examination of the President’s whole recovery program. , Democrats were prepared to close the ease with the testimony Tuesday of the six guests at a Virginia dinner party who were said by Dr. Wirt to have revealed the plot to him last Sept. 1. In the train of the Wirt charges came a diverse series of charges and denials, many of them entirely foreign to the original inquiry. Jail Term Denied Representative Alfred Bulw’inkle (Dem., N. C.), chairman of the investigating committee, charged in congress that Dr. Wirt “w’as confined to jail” during the war. Representative Harold McGugin (Rep., Kan.), chief supporter of Dr. Wirt, immediately denied the charge. W. F. Hodges, war-time mayor of Gary, Ind., Wirt’s home town, entered the controversy by calling Bulwinkle a “bull-w'inkling liar—and I want to be quoted as saying so.” Whereupon Mr. Bulwinkle said that he would present the proof of his charge if his information was as reliable as he had been led to believe. "If f have made a mistake,” he said, "I will say so.” Mr. Wirt himself was expected to return home today after a day spent in seclusion. He had not yet called on the house disbursing clerk for his expense money for railroad and hotel fare. Room Is Marred Other reactions included a statement by Agriculture Secretary Henry A. Wallace who drew much of the fire of Mr. Wirt’s charges that “this is a free country” and "it’s a prerogative of citizens to say things .about government officials that would be libelous if said about private people.” Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose advocacy of a homestead subsistence project was attacked by Mr. Wirt, defended the plan warmly. And the house ways and means committee advised the Wirt investigating committee that it couldn’t use its committee room again because the place was all scratched up and marred by the eager audience that attended the first hearing.

When William O’Brien, Oakland City, took his preliminary examination for citizenship papers, he flunked on the question, "How many members are there in the national house of representatives?" Half an hour later he returned and gave the correct answer. "How did you find out so quickly." Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell asked after granting Mr. O’Brien full citizenship. "I went to a lawyer, but he didn't know,” Mr. O'Brien explained. "He called the library and charged me $3 for legal advice.” "I suggest that the attorney be deported,” replied the judge.
