Stapled Wraps. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Please note: this address is *not* reprinted in the Rev. Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a Pulpit Editorial entitled "Alternative to Chaos: The United Nations" given on September 25, 1960 by the… Rev. Stephen H. Fritchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing one page of text (front side). From his address, reading in short part, "You and I gathered in this church know that the people of the world cry out for peace as the world drifts towards war. We have an immense and immediate responsibility. The editors of the Los Angeles Times frivolously ended an editorial September 20th with the sentence, 'The World Series will be along pretty soon, and that will do more to ease the Khrushchev effect than any censorship. Sometimes we're glad we're immature'" - "These are turbulent and yet wonderful days. A new epoch is dawning for mankind. The remnants of barbarism still obstructing the path to such an epoch can be cleared away, not by going to the World Series - which I do not wish to slander, it has its place - but by an insistence to our own governmental leaders, especially to the candidates for high office in the forthcoming elections, that we now end the collective infantilism displayed this week." Folded once, as issued; sunning to edges. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Stapled Wraps. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. Please note: this sermon is *not* reprinted in the Rev. Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is "The Green Blade: A Unitarian Easter Message," the text of a sermon given on Sunday, March 29, 1959 by the Rev. Stephen H.…Fritchman at the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles and published in mimeographed print form by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. Consisting of a single sheet measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing two pages of text (front and rear). A few brief excerpts from the Rev. Fritchman's Sermon: "There is a very grave danger for Unitarians today that in their rebellion against orthodoxy they burn all bridges of understanding between them" - "It would be well, for example, for us to express to our Catholic friends our pleasure at learning that Pope John XXIII ordered out of the ancient Latin text of the Good Friday prayers at the Vatican the offensive words, 'Let us pray for the unbelieving Jews'" - "Robed choirs will sing majestic music about Christ who died to redeem mankind from sin and shame to fulfill an ancient scheme of salvation, but few will be the words of simple explanation that a carpenter's son who cared for people and loved justice died on a cross for urging the capture of the capitol and the establishment of a new earthly power based on love." The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Fritchma…n and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed sheet measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing one page of text (front side). From his address, reading in short part, "'The Devil in Boston,' which we are to see next Wednesday night at the Circle Theatre as a group of Unitarians with friends, is no blunt instrument of social protest against witchcraft; it is a sensitive, incisive, scrupulously honest, gloriously erudite, disturbing diagnostic study of the motives of men, a study of their conscious and subconscious behavior in the 17th century years of the witches." The Rev. Fritchman notes, "Guests at the service today include Mr. Lion Feuchtwanger, Mr. Benjamin Zemach, the director, Mr. William Schallert, who plays Cotton Mather, and members of the cast." Creasing and short closed tears along lower edge (to blank margin only). The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a Sermon entitled "The Sound of Caesar's Trumpets: A Christmas Sermon" given on December 23, 1962 by the R…ev. Stephen H. Fritchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing four pages of text. From his Sermon, reading in short part, "I am never more aware than at the season of the winter solstice that I am no Christian. Whether I would have joined the ranks of the itinerant revolutionary in Nazareth and Jerusalem nineteen centuries ago had I been alive then, I do not know, nor do you, but I certainly know that it is a fearful hypocrisy for many million Americans to salute the memory of his birth when they shrink in horror from even modest efforts to advocate the clearest teachings which fell from his lips and which have survived the centuries. Christmas in America is a most extraordinary cultural explosion, a kind of unconscious penance for our flagrant indifference to the carpenter of Nazareth during eleven months of every year." During the sermon, the Rev. Fritchman quotes from John Haynes Holmes, and reprints a poem entitled "A Christmas Hymn" by the Rev. Holmes. Folded once, as issued; pages age-browned. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Stapled Wraps. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Please note: this address is reprinted in the Rev. Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of "Rev. Stephen H. [Hole] Fritchman's Address at the Plenary Session of the 10th Congress of the World Council of… Peace in Stockholm, Sweden, May 12, 1959" published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing two-and-one-quarter pages of text. From his address, reading in short part, "Let me assure you that capitalist America has peace forces which receive no great publicity in foreign news dispatches and rarely in the magazines you read from your country. Let me mention two or three of these evidences" - "Dr. Holland Roberts, chairman of our delegation, in his address spoke of SANE [National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy], the nation-wide network of committees advocating a sane nuclear policy to which Mr. Norman Cousins and Dr. Linus Pauling have contributed so much. Thousands of scientists have united under Dr. Pauling's leadership to urge the American people to call for an end of nuclear tests. In colleges and universities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, hundreds of thousands have learned of the mushrooming cloud of nuclear debris that filters leukemia, bone cancer, and genetic infirmities into the present and future generations. Many American citizens innocent of political thought for decades are now beginning to organize because their own families seem threatened. They are truly worried for the first time in their lives. Mayors, governors, and senators are speaking out against this monstrosity - the devil of strontium 90 entering their homes without a warrant, and like the angel of death in ancient Egypt in Biblical days, slaying the first born of Pharaoh's people." Folded once, as issued; sunning to edges. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a Sermon entitled "The [Adolf] Eichmann Trial," a Pulpit Editorial given on April 23, 1961 by the Rev. Ste…phen H. Fritchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing two pages of text (front and rear). From his Pulpit Editorial, reading in short part, "What Israel is trying to do now in Jerusalem is to bring humanity to its senses, to save us from our social amnesia, our deliberate effort not to look at what happened yesterday, and what can, and may, happen tomorrow. For this service of the Israelis we should be profoundly grateful. The Nazi murder machine, in all its fearful and relentless work was, as nothing, compared with the hundreds of millions sentenced to destruction by Herman Kahn's Doomsday machine now on the drawing boards, if not in the factories of death we ourselves help to build" - "Certainly, few gathered here today feel that much will be accomplished of a healthy and sane character by the fact of Eichmann's execution, if it comes, as it probably will. We know precious little of human behavior if we think that such an execution would in itself stop such deeds in the future. Nor would it help us, the survivors, Jewish or non-Jewish, to be more mature and decent human beings." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Stapled Wraps. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Please note: this sermon is *not* reprinted in the Rev. Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a Sermon entitled "Understanding the American Catholic" given on March 24, 1957 by the Rev. Stephen H. Fri…tchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. As stated, "This is a Dividend Sermon for subscribers to the 1956-57 series of the Sermon of the Month of the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles." A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing four pages of text. A few brief excerpts from his sermon: "There are reasons, aside from fear, which hold millions of Catholics to their churches, and unless we know what they are we shall never be able to understand our own strengths and weaknesses as a religious movement. This twentieth century is seeing a monumental struggle, a race if you will, between a Catholic philosophy of society and a democratic humanistic way of life, around the globe. I believe profoundly that the outcome of the present struggle will determine the nature of civilizations for many centuries to come" - "Understanding the American Catholic calls for knowing more than the ambitious stratagems of the hierarchy in America today. It involves knowing the mind and personality of the Roman Catholic in our neighborhood. Being an anti-Catholic fanatic will not help. Religious bigotry amongst liberals will not help. Erudition about the sins of the Popes and Cardinals for 20 centuries will not help" - "Most men and women, as of 1957 A.D. in human history, are unable to stand entirely on their own feet, guided by their own minds, untroubled by the rejection of their peers, the ostracism of their neighbors, the penalties paid them by their fellow workers for non-conformity. The Catholic church will continue as a monolithic institution of gigantic power until a majority of the earth's peoples find their security in the institutions of their own making without benefit of any hierarchy." Folded twice, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity."

Fritchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing two-and-one-half pages of text. From his Sermon, reading in short part, "Throughout the United States today, in scores of other countries, elaborate services and celebrations of the Holy Week events are climaxing the Lenten period. After thirty years of conducting Unitarian services around the Easter theme, and to a lesser degree around the Passover theme, I am, to put it mildly, in a mood of protest. The myths outweigh the truth involved - they do not create better human character, they do not arm a man for courage like that of Jesus or Moses. Quite the contrary - they seem, to me, to obscure and distract - and above all to anesthetize the conscience at the very moment the world needs its conscience stabbed wide awake." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Stapled Wraps. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Please note: this sermon is *not* reprinted in the Rev. Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a Sermon entitled "The Persephone Legend Has Served Long Enough: A Passover-Easter Spring Festival Sermon"… given on Sunday, April 17, 1960 by the Rev. Stephen H. Fritchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three pages of text. The Reverend Fritchman's sermon begins, "On the front page of the Newsletter of the Marin Unitarian Church this week were these words by the Rev. Samuel Wright, its minister: 'The conservatism of religious practices and the extent to which primitive beliefs and actions are venerated is symbolized in the day picked for Easter. Easter was determined a long time ago at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. This was the same Council that adopted the doctrine of the Trinity as an official belief for Christians.' 325 A.D. was, in truth, a year of very bad thinking for Christians. For the next 1,635 years, Unitarians under many banners and names have protested both the Trinity as theology and Easter as a basic reason for celebration in churches. This morning I should like to indicate some of the reasons for a dissenting report on the great festival day of Christendom." Folded once, as issued; page-edges sunned. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 11" and containing two-and-one-half pages of text. From his Sermon, reading in short part, "Every birth then confronts us with the miracle anew - that a new glimpse of truth and beauty, courage and humanity may come from this mother's womb - another Jesus, yes, and another Gandhi, another Mozart, another Jefferson, another faithful and exploring member of the human species, destined possibly to no fame nor wealth, but to health and dignity and joy. This is enough! We need no gospel of heroes to be happy. We need opportunity and friendliness; work to do, leisure to enjoy, families to love."

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three-and-one-half pages of text. A few excerpts from his Report, reading in short part, "We have received 54 new members since the first of January, members who know what they are joining and why, members who are active in many aspects of our church program. We have lost by death since January seven members of our close church friends [Rev. Fritchman then proceeds to mention their names]" - "We now have an active membership of some 1,000 persons. We have 1,700 additional friends who follow our programs, receive our newsletters, attend occasional events, make occasional contributions and serve as the best of interpreters to the larger community" - "The new Hugh Hardyman Center will be dedicated on October 14th" - "I wish to propose to you that before September 15th we complete basic rehabilitation of one of the most valuable rooms in our church, the Madame Severance Room, originally furnished by and dedicated to the work of the Womens' Alliance.

Stapled Wraps. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Please note: this sermon is *not* reprinted in the Rev. Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a Sermon entitled "The Need of Living Two Lives" given on November 25, 1956 by the Rev. Stephen H. Fritchm…an and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 11" and containing four pages of text. From his Sermon, reading in short part, "John Dewey, the philosopher, often emphasized the fact that thought which does not ultimately guide action is incomplete. It is a tremendous idea and has affected our personal and public life for the better in this past half century. But Mr. [Lewis] Mumford is correct when he points out that the opposite truth is equally true and important: action that does not in turn lead to reflection is even more gravely incomplete" - "For one person who is so completely lost in reverie or abstract thought that he forfeits his capacity to act, there are a hundred so closely committed to action or routine that they have lost the capacity for rational insight and contemplative reconstruction, and have thereby lost the power of re-forming their lives or finding self-direction. This is the tragedy of which I speak this morning - the man who lives but one life - the life of outward action and routine." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a talk entitled "If the Bough Be Rotten: Armistice Talk Before a Dinner of the National Lawyers' Guild of… Los Angeles, Held in Beverly Hills, California" given on November 10, 1951 by the Rev. Stephen H. Fritchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing four-and-one-half pages of text. A few excerpts from his address: "The great necessity of this generation of world peoples is that they refuse every inducement, every betrayal, every siren song, to walk into the atomic Armageddon of World War III" - "I just spoke of the new Alice in Wonderland World, with its Mad Hatters and White Rabbits and Dormice and Red Queens, and I meant just that. Look at our behavior as a people. We use more wood pulp and printer's ink six times over than any other nation on earth, to give [Westbrook] Pegler a chance to rant against what he calls 'that snarling thing democracy,' to print millions of comics and gaudy sex-drenched magazines that would lead a visitor from Jupiter to think that assault, battery and rape were the chief compelling hungers of every American male" - "Look at our theatre. Our finest ballet finds its highest narrative inspiration in Fall River, Massachusetts, and records with superb choreography the bloodthirsty activities of a suppressed hatchet-wielding girl named Lizzie Borden" - "And the law has entered into this strange Wonderland also. Our jurists demand the arrest and trial of the Dean of American letters, that incomparable scholar, W.E.B. DuBois, for what they consider the most ghastly of crimes against humanity - the promulgation of a petition for world peace." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

A few short weeks later I found myself with Episcopalian and Methodist and Baptist ministers on a picket line in the cold winter atmosphere of East Boston, Massachusetts, where the Electrical Workers, mostly young Italian-American girls who made Christmas tree lights, were on strike for a wage increase. It seemed like a strange heresy to the reporters and news photographers who gathered to watch the preachers on the picket line, that these preachers simply took St. Paul seriously when he told the Colossians 2,000 years earlier that masters should give unto their servants that which is just and equal." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a radio talk by the Rev. Stephen H. Fritchman entitled "How Do Unitarians Use The Bible?" given on Sunday…, January 29, 1950 on the "Unitarian Time" program at Radio Station KGFJ and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "Probably nothing separates the average Unitarian from the rest of the church-going people more than his attitude toward the Bible. We in the Unitarian church do not consider it as a supernatural book, composed by men whose fingers were moved by divine command. We do not use it in our services and schools as the only book of reference, the only source of moral and spiritual wisdom. We even face the fact that it contains material unfit for our children, improper for our youth, and misleading for our adults." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "I am beginning this morning with the unhappy fact that religion, even liberal religion, is perpetually harassed by the temptation to talk about ideals, but to excuse itself for not getting down to the hard task of making them work in our immediate situation where we live. In the matter of racial equality, the church is faced with the clear necessity of performance if it is to have any moral prestige and to command the respect of the world, including this portion of the world where you and I live. We are prone to justify, make excuse, explain away, but in the end we lose much ground because we are too easily satisfied with small achievements." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing nearly three pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "There are many Unitarians and other liberals, I discover daily, who are no longer troubled about the traditional conflict between science and religion; the conflict, for example, that was waged fiercely a century ago when Darwin's 'Origin of Species' appeared. Darwin and [Thomas] Huxley, two of the most eminent scientists of their day, found Bishops of many churches opposing the doctrine of evolution, because it upset their theology, their views of God and the Universe, and man's origin as described in the book of Genesis. That battle for liberals is won" - "We have changed our calendars from the 8,000 years of Archbishop [James] Usher's [Ussher] count, to many millions of years for the age of the universe as fairly conclusively proven by geologists and physicists."

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three-and-one-half pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "Because our period on the air today is brief, let me say at once that the seat of moral authority in Unitarianism lies in man, not in a supernatural revelation or ecclesiastical tradition. We do not look into the skies for an answer to a moral problem, nor into a holy book, however helpful it may be, nor to the voice of the gods which man has so long confused with his own wishes and desires."

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing two-and-one-half pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, 'For non-conformity the world will whip you with its scorn.' This being true, there are occasional people, bruised and wounded by life, who conclude that non-conformity is a good thing in itself - whatever the form it takes. Their effectiveness melts to zero, and their judgment often becomes warped and twisted since they mistake attention for achievement. No, non-conformity must be measured by its ends and purposes. The non-conformist may simply be queer, frustrated, striking out in rebellion against an unfriendly world. Here is where we Unitarians believe ethical religion has a contribution to make."

From the radio talk, reading in short part, "My answer to the question 'Is A Church Necessary?' in this particular moment of history, is Yes. Human civilization on this planet is still in the kindergarten. Man is just beginning to live beyond the dog-eat-dog stage of society" - "Remember, I am making no brief for the church that acts as a road block to progress, that terrifies with cosmic fears, or verbal threats of punishment, or keeps men as children with folklore and fantasy."

From the radio talk, reading in short part, "Unitarians start first with a basic principle that nothing should be taught the young child that must later be contradicted" - "Pouring Old or New Testament myths into infant heads as fact can lead to a wholesale rejection of all religion in high school and college years" - "A religion consisting of stories about miracles, supernatural interventions, angels, heaven and hell, has little to offer a child in this 20th century, who needs to learn of a friendly world of nature, law-abiding, amazingly predictable, peopled with friends and loved ones, a world far from complete but waiting for his contribution of work and cooperation."

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "Unitarians are Christian in the same sense that countless others are Christian - they honor and revere the life, the courage, the words of Jesus. They see in his life and teachings great universals of truth glimpsed by others, before and since, but given great force and thrust by the fact of his existence" - "Let me say clearly, however, that many Unitarians, born and nourished in the Christian church, have learned, in every generation, the grave danger of using the term 'Christian' as the synonym of goodness, justice, good will, and equality" - "[The] majority opinion today in the world is that being a 'Christian' means accepting the doctrine of the exclusive saviourship of Jesus for a life to come. Because Unitarians reject this as both poor reasoning and poor brotherhood today, they are forbidden membership in the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America and discouraged from requesting membership in the Los Angeles Church Federation."

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "There is a great deal of nonsense spoken about success. Many people in other parts of the world think Americans have made a god of it, and a very poor god indeed. In all candor it must be noted that many advertisements, and orations at high school commencements, add fuel to this idea. Success is all too often made the equivalent of a large salary, a smart motor car, lavish entertainment of friends, and the deference of our fellow citizens who tell us that success lies in publicity, society pages, and election to the right restricted clubs."

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "So much is said, day after day, about happiness, and said with such hollow and mocking insincerity in so many cases, that a minister of a liberal church almost hesitates to use the word. Happiness is so often made the equivalent of light-hearted selfishness, or a vacuously smiling face, or even worse, made synonymous with the ubiquitous wise-crack, that anyone interested as an adult in the pursuit of happiness shrinks from even entering the discussion" - "[T]he church is partly responsible for maintaining the conventional portrait of a religious person as a joyless creature. For centuries too many of the churches have preached a religion of fire and brimstone and sought by the evocation of a thousand fears to drive men into a particular door of salvation. The pulpits have thundered of eternal punishment, an avenging God, and the torments of soul, resulting from unforgivable sins. This hardly breeds happiness or joy." Folded once, as issued.

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing nearly three pages of text. From the radio interview, reading in short part, "[Mr. Friend:] Perhaps the first thing to say is that the child enters [the Unitarian church school] a completely different atmosphere than that most parents went to in their childhood - and different than most Sunday Schools of today. Here he is a partner in the process of learning. While his parents as children were forced to sit on hard chairs too high for their little legs, listening to the drone of a teacher's voice telling them things they scarcely listened to or understood, the modern child begins to work when he comes. It may be in the well-equipped Work Shop where he has the tools he needs to work with." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H.

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing two-and-one-half pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "In our view of human nature we Unitarians take issue with some very ancient dogmas upon which tens of millions of men and women have broken themselves in tragic shipwreck. Unitarians believe: Man is neither good nor evil - he is a creature of great potentials, a creature who can be educated to play dark roles of treachery to his fellow man, or he can be trained by ideas and experience to be a brother to his fellow man, with enormous personal satisfaction and tremendous advantage for society" - "We reject the church's classical doctrine of Adam's fall in the Garden of Eden as a mischievous piece of mythology that has needlessly burdened hundreds of generations of innocent men and women."

A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 14" and containing three pages of text. From the radio talk, reading in short part, "In 1945 there was one divorce for every three weddings. Such statistics should bring us to one agreement early: we have no cause for smugness or self-righteousness about our theory or practice of marriage in the United States, whatever our religion, vocation or racial origin" - "We in America have a marriage-ideal that insists upon hitching our wagon to a star. It is, as Dr. Margaret Mead, the anthropologist, writes in her enthralling book, 'Male and Female,' one of the most difficult marriage forms that the human race has ever attempted. She urges, as I do, a re-examination of the relationship between ideals and practice in American marriage. No religion is worth our respect unless it proposes ideals we can hope to fulfill."
