RELIGION OF
MARY PICKFORD
SHOULD BE LIVED NOT DISCUSSED
WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS
:
Hollywood, California.
Mary Pickford has found time to think about human problems dur- Ing her career an a sercen star. She has thought much about re-
ligion, and in tho. August issue of The Forum she writes:
"I have always felt religion as. aomothing to be lived, not dis cussed. Perhaps, that is what has been the matter with 16-wo've spent too much time talking about it and not enough trying to live'it." In another part of the article she says:
"The way of perfection is simplo but dimeuit. To me it means be- ing one's best, doing one's · bort and looking for the boat In' the other follow. It requires dis- cipline and continuous effort, but It is one of the: happiest ways through the tangle of human living."
Her conclusion about religion IB:
"The world is grasping for something beyond the tattering material effects. It wants: re- ligion, it needs rellafon, but moro than anything also, I believe, it nodds arestatement of religion, the lifting of a helpful and beauti ful thing out of intricate defini Bons and gestures into something 'as simple and useful as broathing.
