By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Bob Lewis brought in the
pledge of the AFL Labor Union
Local 341 for $50.00 toward the
swimming pool today. Mrs. Ray
James is secretary of the Swim
ming Pool Committee and all
contributions should be turned
in to her or some other member
of the committee so that an ac
curate check can be maintained
on the fund.
We have not received a report
of the amount collected to date,
but by the next issue we hope
to be able to indicate the total
amount.
This is an important item to
Seward, one that is in the minds
of all our townspeople. Other
issues are arising and will con
tinue to do so in the minds of
the people, and while for a time,
they will assume a position in
the forefront of our planning,
still we must not lose sight for
a minute of our determination
to have an adequate swimming
pool for Seward.
The committee members are
working hard to resolve a good
plan, th^y are not doing it blind
ly, but are soliciting expert
opinion from engineers of such
projects, and we can rest assured
that our money will not be
wasted.
We must, however, stand be
hind them and in full support or
nothing lasting can ever be ac
complished.
Have you noticed that the
same people who worry all the
time themselves are continually
advising others not to?
Can your child swim?

Shake well before using!
. . but listen, Jim, doesn’t
the Bible say, ‘Whosoever be
lieveth in Him shall not perish,
but have eternal lile’? Then why
all these other things you Cath
olics must believe and do?”
“Because, Ben, the Bible tells
us about these other things, too.
How about the commandments,
baptism, penance, fasting, eating
the flesh of the Son of Man,1
and lots else? About believing
only—well, St. James puts it
rather aptly when he says, . .
the devils also believe and trem
ble,’ and again, ‘Faith without
works is dead, ” (James 2:19-20).
“But St. James—wasn’t his
declared ‘an epistle of straw’?”
“Yes, by Martin Luther. But
if one man can change religion,
why not another and another;
and so it has been until today
we have 400 Christian sects and
each of these a house divided
against itself. So-called Modern
ism has eaten into many denom
inations, teaching and preaching
against the Incarnation, the Res
urrection, heaven, hell, and the
immortality of the soul, and in
validating the entire Bible or
any parts of ^it that contradict
its theories. Because of the chaos
of thought, with no authority
to state what is and what is not
truth, I cannot blame the devout
Protestant who today is almost
forced to resign himself to the
simple creed, ‘I accept Christ
as my Savior’ and let it go at
that.
“But we Catholics, Ben, are
sure we have the divine pre
scription for salvation in the
God-guided traditions of the
Church, verified by the true in
terpretation of the God-inspired
Scriptures. Surely we accept
Him who compounded the medi
cine; but we are not satisfied
merely to look at the remedy
up there on the shelf and grant
its efficacy. No. we take down
the bottle regularly, shake well
to get all the ingredients active,
and then take our medicine ex
actly as directed on the label.”
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!
