Why Roger Branigan? Roger D. Branigin, mature, serious-minded LaFayette attorney now the Democratic nominee for governor of Indiana, should be seriously considered by every voter, conservative and liberal alike. For Roger Branigin represents a rare combination of talent and virtues seldom found in a man willing to stand for public office. An accomplished lawyer, a fine speaker, and a dedicated Democrat, he brings stature to the office of governor that will keep Indiana at the top in competition with neighboring states. His business connections will help in establishing and keeping a sound industrial climate in Indiana, while his mature understanding of, and friendship with, the labor leaders of Indiana will help mound divergent views into a pattern that will benefit all the people of the state. Branigin has developed during the campaign a realistic tax program that is a far cry from opponent’s last-minute back-breaking vote that heaped a multitude of different taxes on the taxpayers of Indiana, and resulted in a blossoming of license plates saying "Indiana — Land of Taxes.” Branigin is pledged to continue the first record of the present state highway department, which has seen major construction in Adams county of muchneeded bridges, and which promises, is untampered with, to complete the building of bridges across the Wabash and Loblolly north and south of Geneva on highway 27, which would complete the modernization of that fine road. His opponent is pledged to tear into the highway department, and lead to another four years of drifting and changing. A former chairman of the Indiana department of conservation, Branigin pledged last spring that if nominated and elected he would appoint a new director of conservation in stepping up that department's long-range program of improved Hoosier facilities for campers and outdoorsmen. His opponent just recently hopped on the Branigin bandwagon in this respect. Branigin has served on educational boards of trustees for many years, and he is truly interested in public education, and in financing it without bankrupting local taxpayers. No county has benefitted more than Adams county during the past four years by having a Democratic governor. Our roads have been improved, a very large number of our sons and daughters have enjoyed high state appointments, bringing honor and respect to Adams county. Adams county has a real vested interest In seeing that Roger Branigin is elected governor Nov. 3 — our interest in good roads, conservation, a sensible tax program to support fairly the needed state functions — all this is the promise of Roger Branigin, whose experience and training is such to indicate that he can and will do it. He promises the economy of Henry Schrlcker, and that’s enough for most Hoosiers! Editorial Written by Dick Heller

Syncretism Is Top Christian Challenge

By LOUIS CANNELS United Press International The most dangerous challenge which confronts Christianity in the world today is not militant atheism, but syncretism. X So says Dr. W A. Visser ’t Hooft (pronounced WisserToofed), the great Dutch theologian and ecumenical leader who is general secretary of the World Council of Churches. Dr. Visser ’t Hooft has written a book about syncretism, publisher! by Westminster Press under the title: “No other nahfie.’’ He defines syncretism as “the view which holds that there is no unique revelation in history, that there are many different ways to reach the devine reality, 1 that all formulations of religious truth or experience are by their very nature inadequate expressions of that truth, and that it is therefore necessary to harmonize as much as possible all religious ideas and experiences so as to create one universal religion for mankind." In other words, a syncretist believes that one religion is as good as another: or, to use another popular phrate, that all religions are different pathways to the same goal. He considers it narrow-minded and arrogant for Christians to send missionaries to people who already have a religion of their own. He believes that religion should be a unifying rather than a divisive force in human society, and that the way to accomplish this is to put together a universal faith, which would reflect the "best Insights" of all the major religions. Dr. Visser ’t Hooft says—and any pastor will corroborate him —that a great many’ people who are nominally members of Christian churches are really syncretists at heart. They are attracted to syncretism for several reasons. Its open-minded-ness appeals to those who remember how much suffering has been inflicted on the human race by intolerant religious lealots who were certain that they alone possessed the true faith Its denial that God has revealed Himself through

specific acts in history appeals to those who think it is unscientific to believe in any kind of miracle. promise of a universal faith appeals to those who feel a desperate sense of urgency about forging bonds of human unity in an atom-threat-ened world. Does this mean that syncretism is the religious wave of the future? Dr. Visser’t Hooft thinks not. He points out that however"modern” it may sound, syncretism is actually a very old Idea. It was the approach to religion which prevailed in many ancenl) civilizations, including those of Babylon, Gresee and Rome When the prophets of Israel proclaimed that there is no other. God than Jehovah, they were resisting the syncretism of the Babylonian culture which surrounded them. When St, Paul insisted that “there is no other name under heaven" than Jesus Christ whereby men may be saved, he was defying the Roman Empire's offer to tolerate Christianity, if it wpuld accept the status of just another cult. Christianity cannot apcept that status today, any more than it could 20 centuries ago, Dr. Visser 't Hooft says. For the heart of the Christian faith is the assertion that God HAS revealed Himself in history, in the person of Jesus Christ. The self-revelation which God accomplished in the Incarnation was unique, onee-for-all, "the crucial divine intervention” in human affairs. When Christians try to tell others the good news that "God was. in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himsfflf," they are not laying claim to any superior religious insight, Dr. Visser *t Hooft says. They are simply delivering a message which has been entrusted to them —a message which was addressed from the start to all mankind. Thus Christianity professes to be precisely what the syncretist seeks —a universal faith. It does not assert that the religion of Christians is superior to the religion, of Jews, Moslems or Buddhists, but rather that Jesus Christ is “Lord of i all men.” .

_„ DECATUB CATHOLIC By Schnrger The Speech and Drama club, now divided into Monday and Thursday night groups, will continue on with its plana. All members have the opportunity to learn how to speak properly before a group of any size. They are also going to give a November 2 political debate and a Christmas play. The second semester will see similar projects, and continuing improvement. But anyone who heard Dan Heimann give his version of ‘‘Little Bo Peep” knows that some people don’t need much improvement. D. C. H. S. A number of music-minded students attended the program of the Indianapolis Symphony at the Decatur high school last Monday.
