EPISCOPALIANS ■ see HOSTILITY IN UNIVERSITIES Hy FranclH L Armstrong. IXS Staff Correspondent ? Chicago. 111.- (INS) - A wave of hos,)llty 10 religion is sweeping the Uni...ruity of Chicago, University of III- ! Lnls and Northwestern University. "cording to a report just published the Episcopal church commission. ° indifference and open antagonism Christianity are being bred in the i Ihr ~p universities surveyed, accord- . to the report. Thousands of stuj ents return from college without a vestige of their former religion." The investigation of the Episcopal commission on college work was shade following charges of members of the church that athiesm and unbelief are resulting from the modern system of higher education. Give No Reasons The report proper of the commission made no attempt to assign any reason why the universities have become “schools of agnosticism” and hotbeds of schism." As an investigation to determine the truth of charges that have been made recently, the report merely announced that the commission had found the conditions to be destructive to religion. The attitude among students found in the three Illinois universities, in the opinion of several of the men who made the investigation, is typical of the average American school. Every year thousands are graduated from state and private universities with little or no regard for religion, the commission believes. The commission is composed of prominent churchmen of the Chicago district, including the Rev. Dr. George Craig Stewart, St. Luke’s church. Evanston; the Rev. Dr. Duncan H. Browne, rector of St. James Episcopal church, Chicago; the Rev. Alfred Newberry, rector, Church of Atonement: Rev. George T. Thomas, rector of St. Paul’s church. Before announcing its findings, the commission delved into the religious convictions of several thousand undergraduates of the three instittuions and into the religious bent of an equal number of graduates. Caretui analysis was made by commission members of the various shades of opinion found among students and graduates, and of the general trend of thought among them. Alarming Tendency The result was that the commission was "alarmed at the growing tendency of university students to grow away from the church or to become actually antagonistic to the religion of their fathers.” As a remedy the commission suggested that special religious workers be assigned to each institution to stem the exodus from church. The regular work of ministers, it was found, was not sufficient since-the students stayed away from church entirely. Therefore, a new type of worker, who will go among the students to counter lack of interest in religion or atheism on its own ground, was recommended. > Informally, several of the divines making the survey expressed the belief that hedonism, the system of philosophy which teaches that pleasure is the greatest good, has been made popular by the teachings of modern science, including behavioristic psychology. The various churches, it was believed. will carry an active fight,into ’ American universities with a fewmonths to hold their own against the increasing exodus from their ranks. -_ Predict Greater Vote ForMcNary-Haugen Bill Washington, March 24—(INS)—Congressional farm bloc leaders, after a thorough canvass of both senate and house, claimed today that the Mcbill will pass both houses by a larger vote than last year. Although refusing to admit that an executive veto awaits tho revised measure, they indicated that (their chief hope for results in the impendmg farm relief fight is to win a moral" victory and intensify the demand for farm relief by»winning new votes. Rep. Dickinson (Ft) of lowa, titular eader of the farm bloc, predicted the

Similar prediction .was made by Rep. Haugen <R> of Jowa, chairman , of the house agriculture committee and coauthor of the bill. OBITUARY Mary < atherlne Kistler was born to Nathan and Christiana Kistler in Columbia county, Pennsylvania December 9, 1841, and departed this llfe*March Bth, 1928, at 7:35 p. m. at the ripe age of 86 years 2 months and 28 days. In 1859 she married John Young and they moved to Blue Creek township. Adams county, Indiana, where she spent most of her life. To this union were born seven children, Mis. Lucy B. Fty, Miss Mattie E. Young, who resided at the old home; Mrs. Effie Kapelsky. of Aurora, 111., and Chauncy E. Young, of Fostoria, Ohio. These with ten grand children and two great grand children survive to mourn their loss of a sainted mother ahd grandmother. Austin E., Addie L., and Agnes E., proceeded their mother in death. The husband and father departed this life October 9. 1974. In 1890 she married Jessie Brandyberry. When a girl of about 14 years of age she gave her life to the service of God and became an ardent member of the Salem Methodist Episcopal church. With the exception of a few years, when she was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church in Decatur she has been a member at Salem. She was a charter member as well as a life member of the “World's Purity Federation.” For several years she has been denied the privilege of church attendance because of declining health She had a sensitive soul toward religious topics. She was never so happy as when she was engaged in religious conversation. , The hymns she selected for her funeral were “He Leadeth Me,” “I Would Not Live Always," and “Take Time to be Holy" She selected the Fourteenth chapter of John’s gospel and the fourth chapter of Phflippians. Her parting was in .harmony with . Tennyson’s “Crossing the Bar," her favorite poem: "Sunset and evening star, And ope clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, - Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep. Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, ■> And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farwell. 4 When I embark For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place, The flood may bear us far. I hope to see my pilot face to When I have crossed the bar. In Memory of Catherine Young Brandyberry By Clara Riley I hear the soft winds sighing Through every bush and tree, Where now poor mother is lying And away from home and me. ' Tears from my eyes are starting And sorrow shades my brow, Oh, weary was my patting, ; I have no mother now. I see the pale moon shining On mother’s white head stone, The rose bush round it twining Is there like me, alone. And just like me are weeping ' These dew drops, on the bough Long time has she been sleeping I have no mother now-. My heart is ever lonely. My life is drea and sad, I T'was her dear presence only That made my spirit glad ( From morning until evening Cares rest upon my brow. . She has gone from earth to Heaven I have no mother now.
