Between Reader & Writer I
By LEA HEIL, Publicity Director
After tearing up countless pages which didn’t seem to
convey my feelings, I carefully laid my pencil down and re
solved that if I couldn’t reach my readers enough to enstill
in them a desire for action, then I would not waste their .
time writing something that would bore them. I knew what
I had to say but not how to say it, for how can one tell of
the misery and loneliness that exists in the dark cold world
of mental illness? How can you explain the emptiness, the
insecurity and the “mere existing" of the mental patient?
What of the elderly folks with the golden grace of age upon
them who are forgotten because they have aged at a mental
hospital? And the children, the beautiful little boys and girls
who have forgotten how to play in the sunshine. Or the teens, *
normally bursting with life and vitality, who are instead >
putting together the pieces of their shattered minds. Emer
son once said, “Speak now what you think in hard words”. |
So I speak in the name of all those who cannot speak for 1
themselves. Help them in what ever way you can. See what |
you can do, for after all they are our “brothers”. Help your- g
selves and others so that they may never know the dark | '
world of mental illness.
Eradication and control of disease has been the object of ■ '
continuing experiments. It is hoped that someday a cure will •
be found for muscular dystrophy, cancer and even the com- | ;
mon cold. But in the field of mental health, we cannot hope ? ।
for a vaccine to cure or prevent mental illness.
So our hope lies with the people, not scientists but peo
ple like you and I. We can and must endeavor to prevent ‘ ।
mental illness before it starts and to understand and help
if it does strike. Won’t you accept your responsibility?

Rev. J. Donald Graham, pas-1
tor, Memorial Christian Church,
addressed the Forest Park Ro
tary Club at the Barbeque
Kitchen on Jan. 18.
Program Chairman Bill
Derickson introduced Rev. Gra
ham as a pastor who in the
past two years has shown a 50%
congregational growth and who
has piloted the building of the
first unit of his church.
Rev. Graham’s subject con
cerned religion and politics and
he definitely pointed out the
difference in the separation of
the church and the state, which
are separated as they should be;
and the separation of religion
and politics, which cannot be
separated into separate entities.
One is a member of a church
and at the same time a member
of a political party.
Rev. Graham feels that as
long as there is an institutional
separation of the church and
the state, everything is well in
the United States. The United
States exists as a democracy,
under which the state cannot
squelch the freedom of religion

One’s religion, however, ana
his political affiliations cannot
be definitely bisected, as both

result religion and our society

Rev. Graham presented vari
ous wavs in which religion has
related itself to society, drawing
his text material from the book
“Christ and Culture” by Yales
H. Richard Niebuhr.
There were presented four
major attitudes in which the
Christian may relate his religion
with his society or culture: the
attitude in which religion with
draws from society and has
I nothing to say or do with it; the
! attitude in w’hich religion is

attitude in which religion rec
ognizes society and its tensions
