Welsh Says Wells Is Not Candidate

By HORTENSE MYERS United Preu International INDIANAPOLIS iUPD — Governor Welsh said Thursday that Indiana University chancellor Herman B. Wells has "told me he would be unable to be a candidate” for governor. Welsh, as the Democratic party leader, has talked privately to most of 4 the names on that long list of possible gubernatorial nominees, and so far has not indicated his personal preference. But Welsh made it clear that while he thought the longtime TU president, who retired last year, would be a desirable candidate, he is convinced Wells cannot be persuaded to run for the job. “He has told me he would be unable to be a candidate, that his doctor said he could not.” Welsh said. “He told me that as long ago as a year and he has not since changed his positton.** Welsh said that he understands that Wells’ ailment—pancreatitis—“is a condition which is aggravated by irregular meals and long hours.” Hie governor, who knows first hand how long the hours and uncertain the aie inr a.,.KeosieT gubernatorial candidate, pointed out that these conditions “are a part of campaigning.” Wells has enjoyed popularity in Indiana ever since he became the youngest president of a state university in 1933 and his name has been mentioned as a possible political candidate numerous times. Indiana Democratic national committeeman Alex Campbell last year started the speculation on Wells anew for the 1964 governor’s nomination and others in the party have joined him. The removal of Wells from consideration still leaves the Democrats with a long list of possibilities, but Welsh said he has made no personal choices among them. At one time, when Welsh laid

dcwn the ground rule that any department head who announces formally for governor must resign, he indicated he would make his choice known sometime prior to the June 23 convention. But Thursday the governor said such action on his part now "depends on the circumstances.” "I will be most interested in what the convention does. I am interested in the nomination of somebody who can succeed in the fall," Welsh said. The Democratic nominee faces the Republican choice for governor in the November election. While Welsh cannot succeed himself and would face an uphill battle if he were to challenge Sen. Vance Hartke, he still remains the party head and is consulted almost daily by potential candidates for various elective offices. None of his department heads who have been listed as possible gubernatorial nominees has yet taken the drastic step of resignning to be a candidate. But former Bloomington Mayor Tom Lemon and former State Treasurer William Fortune both are announced candidates. Roger Branigin, Lafayette attorney frequently mentioned as n Democratic gubernatorial choice, delayed a formal announcement “a couple more weeks.” He had told friends the deadline for decision announced previously had been set for him by his staff out of desperation Indiana Adj. Gen. John Anderson, Revenue Commissioner James C. Courtney, Conservation Director Donald Foltz, Port Commission Secretary - Treasurer Clinton Green and Public Service Commission Chairman Merton Stanley have been mentioned, among others. Sens. Marshall Kizer and Jack Mankin and Rep. Robert Rock also are numbered among the individuals from among whom Welsh may be forced to take a choice. /

Special Services For E. U. B. Church The Rer. A. L. Keller will be the guest speaker for the Decatur Evangelical United Bret hren church week of special services, January 5 through aJnuary 12. Rev. Keller is pastor of the First Evangelical United Brethren church in Fort Wayne. He THE - oasis A , 8 l.t.rß«tie»*l INutam —.

JESUS is the hero of the New Testament. Other characters meet us in its pages, but no writer in the New Testament takes an interest in anyone else except as they have some connection with the life of Jesus himself. So Mary, his own mother, a PP ears * n the Bi ble not as Queen 1 °i Heaven or the Co Re(lern P trix of J the world, but as M the simple, good ■ young woman who I was the wife of a gliBS village earpenter ‘ HM® Ml and the mother of Dr. Foreman Jesus of Nazareth. We should like to know more about her than we do. She was probably quite young, and also probably not given what we would call a higher education. Yet we know that she was the woman to whom God entrusted Jesus. The church through most of its history has believed that Joseph was not the real father of Jesus; but the church,has never thought of denying that Mary was his real mother Mary pandering Mary was a remembering woman. She thought long about the meaning of things—that is what “pondered” means. She took time for events to make their impres sion on her mind. We know -she was a woman of poetic mind. Most of the words attributed to her are in poems, presumably made up, perhaps on the spur of the minute. She was familiar with that great poetry collection and hymn book of her people which we know as the Book of Psalms. She was a woman who loved those Psalms and memorized them and wove them into the fabric of her own mind and memory. She remembered the singing angels, and the angel who first visited her, and the coming of the Magi. She remembers her son as a small boy, and that notable trip to Jerusalem when he was 12 years old. She was not a woman to go talking all the time with her neighbors. She did not Wear her heart on her sleeve. She was not one to live only on the surface Gt things. She was no doubt a busy and often weary woman. But still she had time to furnish an inner chamber of the heart, a secret world where the wonders of life were cherished and re-lived. Mary caanaaiiag Jesus as a boy was not given special privileges except no doubt those of any oldest son. One special privilege he did not have: he was not allowed to disobey. We read that he “was subject” to his parents, that is, they directed him, gave him commands. Perhaps the burden of this fell on Mary, for Joseph drops eut of the picture and is not heard from in the story after that visit to Jerusalem. Mary„ was what the poet describes, “A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort and command.” In the story John tells of the wedding at Cana, we hear Mary commanding the servants to do Whatever her son directed. This was a turning-point in her life, perhaps. At any rate, somewhere along the road Mary knew the moment which comes to every mother, no matter how loving and good, when she has to let go her control, when her child looks at her with level eyes, the child no longer a boy, a youth, but a man. Mary praying The last picture we have of Mary in the New Testament story is in a prayer meeting. It was in an “upper room,” perhaps the very room in which Jesus, sir weeks before, hpd held the Last Supper on the night in ,which he was betrayed. If you can imagine what that , must have meant ,to Mary’s imaginative mind, you may well suppose that Mary was praying as never before. Yet no person ever comes suddenly to a deep prayer life. We may well be sure that Mary had been a woman cf prayer through the years. This is important; but even more important is the effect on the growing child Jesus. If he, was a real person, and Mary a real mother, we Can be lure he learned about prayer first where most of us learn it, at our mother’s knees. The man Jesus knew more of life, its joys, riddles and agonies, than the child Jesus. But the faith he breathed in by his mother’s side would last

Jr Rev. A. L. Keller also is the chairman of the board of missions of Indiana Conference north.

From Sunday evening, Jan. 5 through Wednesday evening, January 8, the services will be Trinity. Thursday, January 9, Friday, January 10, and Sunday, January 12, the services will be Bethany. There will be special music each evening. The public is invited to each of these services. Pope Prepares For Holy Land Trip Saturday VATICAN CITY (UPD—Pope Paul VI today devoted himself tc prayer and preparations for his “journey of search and hope’’ to the Holy Land Saturday. The 66-year-old pontiff, who began his reign little more than six months ago, will be making history in many ways on his three-day pilgrimage to the places Christ lived, in what is now Jordan and Israel. He will be the first Pope to visit the Holy Land and the first to fly. He will be the first to leave Italy since 1812. But since the Pope announced plans for the visit last month, world attention has focused on another first—the first meeting between a. Pope and an jgpstern Orthodox patriarch 3m 526 years. Pope Paul will confer twice with Patriarcli~Afhenagoris I of Constantinople. Their aim is Christian unity, but no one looks for a quick or easy end to the differences that have divided the 500 million Roman Catholics and 157 million Orthodox for centuries. Pope Paul’s predecessor Pope John XXIII, began this drive for Christian unity with the Ecumenical Council. In carrying it a step further. Pope Paul has had to seek neutral ground for his meeting with the Orthodox ■* leader, who declined an invitation to send delegates or attend the council. In so doing, the pontiff has abruptly changed the tradition of the Pope as “prisoner of the Vatican.” Until 45 years ago. no Pope even ventured out on an auto trip into Rome. The exception was Pius XII, forced to go to France by Napoleon in 1804. Many Security Risks TTie change brings with it unprecedented security risks. Jordan and Israel are technically still at war and there is a long history of religious strife in the Holy Land among the Moslems, Jews and rive Christian sects. Jet fighters of the nation he is flying over will provide an, escort for the Pope’s Alitalia jet, and phpal gendarmes, a bullet-proof car, and reinforced Jordanian and Israeli police will protect the Pope on the ground.

WHAT WE WANT MOST Rev. James R. Meadows What we want most — is what we set out to get! Tirelessly we will work to acquire what we set our hearts upon. We forget to get tired, and we count nothing an inconvenience in our efforts to reach our goal. What care we for over-time labor, extra hours in the office or at the work bench if we can secure the means whereby to purchase or win the desire of our heart. The salesman goes to s?e a prospective customer and if the prospect doe? not seem inclined to want to purchase the salesman may leave him then but he waits his opportunity and before long the prospect finds the salesman standing before him again. Many a representative has found his persistence rewarded in a big order and in a confidential customer. You and I have nothing to sell as Christians. We are representatives of God our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. We have something to offer, that each and every man, woman, boy and girl needs., They need shoes, but shoes wear out; they need clothes but the moths destroy clothing; they need food, but food is soon consumed and the body needs to be fed again. Material things perish, life comes to an end but the soul lives on. So they need above everything else spiritual things. We as Christ’s representatives need to go to folks and show them that what they need most of all is Christ. We need to show them that they need the church and the church needs them. They need to be shown how much they need the Holy Bible. We need to sell the Bible to people as a daily food for the soul as they need to buy bread as a daily necessity for the body. We need to show PLEASANT MILLS METHODIST Joseph Gibson, pastor Sunday School at9:3o, Divine Worship at 10:30. The Quarterly Communion Service will be held at the IQ: 30 hour.
