The Christian Layman’s Task

The nations of the earth have called their sons to anna. The Church of the Imcsr God in America is calling her song to a m.ghty campaign for the souls of men and the increase of righteousness throughout the nation. A crisis of incomprehensible proportions and incalculable issues is on the world. A clarion call is heard round the globe, “Watchman, what of the night?”, and woe be to the watchman and city if the watchman slumbers. A great hour has struck and a world-crisis ushers in the Church’s opportunity-time. Are Christ and Christianity equal to the task of a world mastery? This is the vital religious question of the hour, and herein lies the challenge to the modern Church. For the accomplishment of this tremendous task we shall need the complete consecration of the Christian laymen of this countryWe ought never to fgrget that some of the greatest spiritual awakenings that the world has seen have been ushered in through lay preaching. Jesus called men from their occupations and'sent them forth to preach the gospel everywhere. The clergy of this country would hail with delight the frillingness on the part of consecrated laymen to assume this responsibility. The times demand of every one of us a fearless and pronounced expression of our faith in religion.

It is not necessary that we have pulpits, or the soft dim light of the sanctuary in which to declare it Every counting room, every mart of trade, every shop and factory, offer abundant opportunity for the proclamation of the eternal truths of religion. Indianapolis has recently witnessed the value of team work among laymen in the raising of the Red Cross War Fund. We have also been delighted with the ready response of the young men of our country to the call of the nation. No less important is it that we have team work and a ready response of the Christian laymen of this country to the task of the modern church. Not only must the gospel of individual salvation be proclaimed, but we must unite our forces for the social redemption of our city. A new spirit has taken hold of the people of Indianapolis which demands righteousness in city government and clean, high-grade men for all offices of public trust. The Christian laymen of Indianapolis, including both men and women, must stand unitedly for all these high ideals of personal religion and civic obligation. The time has arrived for the Church of God to mobilise her forces more effectively than ever and set them to the task of city, state and nation-wide personal and social redemption. To this task the Church Federation of Indianapolis is definitely committed and will never lower it* colors until the victory has been won. You may hear more of this, perhaps, in the churches of the city tomorrow in which every one is abundantly welcome.

LABOR WILL BE SPEEDED UP WASHINGTON, August 4.-The Emergency Fleet Corporation today requisitioned all merchant vessels of more than 2.500 tons now building In Amtrlcan shipyards. Double and triple labor shifts will be put In the yards to speed construction. No announcement was made as to the amount of tonnage taken over, but the shipping board’s records show that about 700 vessels of nearly 2,000,000 tons of all classes are building. To Work on Great Ffeet. As fast as the yards are cleared of their present construction they will be put to work on the great fleet the government will build. The yards were ordered to enter Into no more contracts or commitments for private construction and to begin no new work on contracts already made without first obtaining the permission of the fleet corporation. Compensation for the construction seized will be determined later. The yards were directed to supply Immediately general plans and detailed specification# of the ships requisitioned;, copies of all contracts and supplemental agreements and any other information that will assist the government In arriving at estimates of the ship’s value. President May Retain. Much of the tonnage building is for British and Norwegian account. Its final disposition will be left to negotiations with the governments concerned, although the President has power to retain dt if the tonnage is needed by the United States. The British government, it is understood, is willing to relinquish to this country all of Its tonnage building here. Tha American ships requisitioned will be kept for operation by tffe *hipping board.

me RULE

DISTRICT APPEAL BOARDS MEET AT STATEHOUSE.

ADOPT TWO RESOLUTIONS

A meeting of the members of the four district appeal exemption boards of the state was held In the etatehouse Friday afternoon. The meeting wa# held for the purpose of discussing the interpretation of the rules and regulations sent from Washington. A resolution wae introduced in which it woe proposed that no one be exempted on the ground# of dependency unless he could prove that hi# dependent# would be forced Into the county Infirmary If his support was withdrawn. Th# measure also proposed that If any member of the family, whether father, mother, father-in-law or mother-in-law, could, would or ought to support th# dependent exemption would be denied. The resolution wa* so drastic that It was voted down unanimously. To Seek Explanation. It waa decided by the boards to have Provost Marshal-General Crowder define the meaning of some of the rules for exemption set forth by the government. The first of ths questions was, "Do th* word# ‘industrial enterprises’ include all businesses other than agricultural, and, If they do not define their meaning?" The second question was "Shall any Individual be exempted solely because of commercial connections?" Copies of th# questions were forwarded to Washington. It was suggested that senior medical students rscelvs conditional release until they had completed their work In the medical schools, when they would be celled for army service. John T. Oliphant an Indiana coal operator, urged that all coal miners be exempt, at least for th* present, as h* sold ths mines need aU the help they can get at th# present time. Later, when th* railroads have provided the operators with all the cars needed and a sufficient amount of coal has been rained to protect th* country against a fuel famine would be time-enough to send th* miners to the array, he said. Two Resolutions. Before the meeting closed the boards adopted two resolutions, on* of which was that all appeals, made to the local district boards should receive careful consideration and that th* affidavits and proofs should b* taken as prtma facte evidence that the facts are true, unless ths board has suffleisnt information to create a suspicion that th* affidavits are false, and then an investigation should be made. The other resolution was: ‘That no Individual be exempted solely on account Of his employment, and that where It is found that nls services would be of more value to the United States than some corporation or business firm. Uncle Sam will be given the preference." The meeting adjourned without providing for any future gathering. ELDER COOPER DEAD. Formtrly Was United Statss Mar•hal for District of Indiana.
