PAGE TWO NEVADA CITY-GRASS VALLEY NUGGET ’ THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1946 Nevada City-Grass Valley Nugget 365 Broad Street, Nevada City, Telephone 36 A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City, California Owner and Publisher Editor Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Thursday at Nevada City, California, and ‘entered as matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. : SUBSCRIPTION RATES i‘ One year (in advance) 4.....22.2.21.c0:0000-00$3.00 One MON (oi 30 cents OURS IS THE MANDATE ‘ By Carroll Reece In this time of general rejoicing over the Republican victory last month, it is well to remember-that the party has not only been given.a great opportunity but has also assumed a heavy responsibility. We know that the program now being worked out by the Republican leaders and members of the next congress will guide the nation to prosperity at home and continued peace abroad. But we know also that these results will not be achieved ovrenight. : The Republican Party does not yet have control of the congress—one of the three great coordinate branches of the government. But for the next two years the Democrats will still control the presidency and most, if not all, of the various departments, commissions, and other agencies of the executive branch. Moreover the third branch of the federal government —the judiciary is now composed in overwhelming numbers of appointees of Democratic presidents. Under our system of government the judiciary is intended to be independent of politics: Hence, it is to be hoped that its members will not be influenced by any political ideologies which may have had something to do with their appointments. The president has announced his intention to cooperate with the Republican congress in the national! interest. Republican leaders have announced their desire t6 meet the president halfway. Nothing is to be gained by ignoring the difficulties involved in this bi-partisan control of the government during the next twoyears. A frank realization of the difficult nature of the problems thus created may assist in their solution. : In discussion of the promised cooperation between congress and the’ president, it should not be overlooked that it is the Republican congress which holds the most recent mandate ~-fromthe American people. By their votes on November 5th the people announced that they were dissatisfied with © the Democratic conpress. Hence they elected "Republican majorities in hoth the senate and the house of representatives. Jt must be assuméd-from-this aét of the American people. that they favored the legislative program promulgated by Repubhean leaders and Republican candidates during the campaign That mandate of the people it would seem should be binding upon the executive as well as the legislative branch. It is the duty of the Republican congress to translate into laws the program which has been approved by the people. Equally it is the duty and obligation of the executive branch to accept this expression of the people’s will. \WENUPY A Et Serve 100 Days In Jai \T IEREERY’S Clarence Creel 28, who pleaded cre AD BOA a guilty to drunken driving before GRASS VALLEY: Cigars have Justice of the Peaice’ R. 'N. Little in. been in order the last few days at ‘SERMONETTE OF THE WEEK “IS CHRISTIANITY DECLINING?” By The Rev. Angus Miller Rector Trinity Episcopal Church Weare all too much inclined to be pessimistic. We look back on the past with the rose-tinted spectacles of memory and think that “things were better in the good old days.” It is an age-old complaint that youth is not so good, so enterprising, as in the past. It is said today that the church is not what it used to be, that religion is declining, and so forth. These complaints have been made in every age. It is said that King Charles II once caused his courtiers considerable trouble by asking why a dead fish was heavier ing to work out the problem, and invented many ingenious a live one. He tested it for himself—and found that it was not so. g We take certain pessimistic sayings for granted just because they are often repeated. But that does prove them to be true. ; ' Test this gloomy saying that religion is declining. Of course, certain things in the religious world are changing. It is no longer fashionable to go to church. People do not attend a'plaée of worship in order to be seen in church parade. Certain religious observances do not carry nearly the weight they did. On the other hand, people do not go to church on Sunday mornings and think themselves justified in owning slaves all the week, as they did a hundred or so years ago. Our representatives in congress may, not quote Scripture overmuch. our congress today would never tolerate the conditions that ‘obtained one hundred years ago. , 1 do not for one moment believe that religion is declining. I believe that the Spirit of Jesus Christ is speaking to this age and generation more powerfully and effectively than in any previous age. This is not merely in one’s own country, but all over the world. Science has a new respect for religion. True, than a live one. The clever men of his day spent months try . # theories. But one day it occurred to one of their number to. . make quite sure that a dead fish did really weigh heavier than}: GRASS VALLEY CHAMBER DIRECTOR'S MEETING GRASS VALLEY: The Grass Valley chamlber of commerce will hold their last board of director's meeting for 1946 next Wednesday noon at 12:15, This December 18th meet‘ing will include the selection of a nominating committee to choose new directors for 1947.

But there is a very widespread uneasiness at the materialism of the age. There is a very genera! feeling after religion. Enter a railway carriage, and it will not that matters. There is a very widespread fecline that war is wronc not that war doesn’t pay, but that it is definitely wrong, a sin against humanity. People may disagree with you when you nut the Christian aspect on the matter, but they will listen, and listen with respect. The old cynical view that war is resnectable noble is rejected by the common people of al! countries. It offends the conscience of the world. It does so because religion has enlichfened the conscience of mankind. Religion today is a very real and. vital force in our national and international life, even the upstart dictators of the mast have proved that to attack its morals and principles bring ruin to themselves, and any dictators of the future will hésitate directly to attack it.

I am willing to grant that men of this generation are more intolerant of cant, of ecclesiastical dominance, but . deny that that means religion is declining. There is an unfortunate tendency in human nature to Ssterilise, to harden and formalise belief, to turn religion into forms and ceremonies. The old prophets waged fierce war against this tendency. Our Lord uttered bitter denunciations against the scribes and Prasisees of His day because they had done this very thnig. No reader of the Gospel can doubt where He stood in this matter. If the peoples of the world today are impatient of “‘clericalism” that is not to say that religion is declining. : The spirit breatheth where it listeth, and thc Spirit of God is abroad over the nations today. Let us take heart. Religion is not declining. But let us beware that it is not declining in our own hearts; let us make quite sure that we are not become enslaved by the insidious tendency to formalism. Let us follow the Spirit, believing that Christ still reigns and will lead us to victory. “A Plea For Old People” will be the subject of the, Reverend Angus Miller's sermonette next week. . . . . .
