It depends on how we look
it and our past ex.:)erienee.
What natters most to me will be
different from what matters most
you, and the thing or philoso
'l;!iy of most personal \•alue is a
'religion.
Eitop and Ask
So from March 2-5 you are
asked to evaluate your re
ligion, yettr ,belie ti ti.nd the
way you interpret the way you
11•.tlieve into real netton. is the
of the actiop
,v,r;ott'li•D:)tts

Wan? If you have a religion, what
ttind is it and i; it. mature'? Aren't
It•iience ;:nd religion complemen
t:try to one another, not com
v2titors?
. In the made race to make the
t, - ,ltade, till extra-curricular func
tions and find a jeb or a wife as
the . case may be, we must know
;1 .- -.. - tw t o attain these goals. At the
time, we must not lose out
in OnderstEnding how to get along
%vith other people, the tension
areas in world economies and
•politiics, the ethical responsibility
of science, and the everyday busi
ness oC understanding and living
•with ourselves.
Are You Satisfied?
Those who are already fully
:;atisfied with what matters most
to them may not be interested in
Religion-in-life, but the truth is
most of us aren't satisfied. Let's
give speech, a seminar or a
fire-side session a 'try. It can't
hurt and it may help.
