Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - October 17, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky myth Ani reality the death of the Pope the tremendous Public interest non Catholic As Well As Catholic in the funeral ceremonies and in the election of a new Pope stimulate an inquiry into religion its strength in this Era of ugly materialism. For materialism unabashed is ugly. Even in the arts it produces dissonance and clashes of form and substance. It is like human nakedness which rarely is As Beautiful or As charming As the human form adorned. And so one asks what is myth and what is reality this has Ever puzzled Mankind and out of it has come the variety of religions which in the final analysis is Only a variety in form but an identity of purpose namely that Man everlastingly has sought for an explanation of the oneness of the universe and the extraordinary intelligence and sensitivity of the human being and has found it in a Power outside himself a Power to which he has Given Many names. Baal Shang to Jehovah Jupiter zeus. Bog a but always it is god. The Power that creates and guides and judges and makes for righteous living. Those who have not experienced god in their lives cannot understand the fullness of the roman Catholic ceremonies but they must grasp As realists which they Call themselves but really Are not a that an Ideal of life that has gripped the human race As far Back As we can discover cannot be a myth. It is a reality because it is essential to orderly living. It is a reality because it exists. This is Lulu rent in the symbolism of the ceremonies and pomp of these weeks most so called realists Are really romantics because they reject what is a fact and insist that a private View and a private definition Are real when actually they Are Only self serving. When hundreds of millions of human beings believe in have Faith in. Fear love worship adore a god and gain their inspiration and guidance for orderly living from what they Are convinced is revealed truth it is not a myth but a reality. By the realistic test of sight and sound and measurement it is possible to say that what exists is. The hundreds of millions throughout the world who mourn the loss of one Man because he symbolized for them the goodness and orderliness of life w hich they perhaps had not the will and strength to attain then that too is reality and cannot be denied. When most of the human race believes that an orderly life is based on a tradition which acknowledges the authority of god that fact is a reality. Who dares to say in this Era what is myth and what is reality in a Short period of half a Century there have been so Many shifts in our knowledge that actually most of us Are now ill informed and have to Start our studies All Over again How Many of us truly know what the work of Max Planck Albert Einstein Niels Bohr and their associates in All countries has done to the human mind and human relations during this accumulating period we have somehow lost our ethical standards and the world. Government businesses and the family Are in chaos but shall we remain in chaos the problem the major problem of the Day is the restoration of order but How can order be restored without respect and what is it that is to be respected wealth Power notoriety when in human Hitt Orv has order been restored of i ter War depression famine or deluge by respect for wealth or Power actually never because what has always happened in times of stress and discouragement is that men turned to their god by whatever name or in whatever form. Blaming themselves for their transgressions and by confession opening their eyes to their own errors and j thus finding guidance to restoration and orderliness. When this process i is not followed the scheme for living is without order resulting in1 such confusion of morals and there lore of the family As you can read about every Day in gossip columns where Honor goes to the harlot and distinction to the Home breaker. And the child needs a psychiatrist to ease its aching heart. Such is a society that Speaks of myth is. Reality when what it really Means is reality is. The ap-1 Yearance of successful living.
