CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE VOICED TO MINISTERS Detroit Clergyman Speaks; 200 in Attendance at Conference Here. “Nothing that has been written about Christianity can exceed the story of what is being written today,’’ declared the Rev. Merton S. Rice, pastor of Metropolitan M. E. church, Detroit, in an address at the Indiana Pastors’ conference in Broadway M. E. church today. Speaking on “Perfect Salvation,” Mr. Rice stated, “Our religion is written in the three embracing terms of history, experience, and hope. It covers with assurance the past, the present and the future. Coming out of the past into today we stand with confidence unto tomorrow. This is the perfect salvation offered in Jesus Christ to a needy world.” The Rev. John Timothy Stone of Chicago was to speak this afternoon. A fellowship supper will end the day. 200 Are Welcomed The conclave began Monday morning, when the Rev. H. B. Hostetter, executive secretary of the Indiana Presbyterian synod, welcomed the 200 visiting pastors. . Calling attention to the absence of sectarian hostility throughout the program of the inter-denomi-national pastors here in the last four years, Hostetter voiced the hope that any disheartened minister might find new encouragement through the medium of the conference. Ministers were urged to take an active part in politics and to stop listening to the critcism of the world outside the church, by Dr. W. P. Dearing, president of Oakland City college, Monday night. Urges Unfolding of Bible The Rev. R. H. Miller of Kansas City, Mo., spoke Monday afternoon, stating that the task of the modern minister is not to prove the truth of the Bible, but to prove that it is the only truth. “.We just have passed through the stage when people asked us to prove the truth of the Bible,” said Rev. Miller. “Now they accept it as true and want to know what it matters if it is true. And they are beginning to think that it may not be the only truth.” Friends, Congregational, Protestant, Prebysterian, United Brethren, Disciples of Christ, Baptist and Methodist Episcopal ministers are attending.

FATE ROBS COP IN KNAAK CASE OF MOVIE JOB ‘Hitchy’ Mourns Publicity’s Puff That Comes Too Late. BY JACK HIERTZ United Pres* Staff Correspondent LAKE BLUFF, 111., Nov. 13.—Fate has robbed Charles W. Hitchcock, prominent figure in the “furnace girl" mystery, of the desserts of publicity. .Hitchcock, Lake Bluff night policeman and former motion picture actor of the davs when an announcer explained the film, is at on his back with a broken leg, reading offers from Broadway and Hollywood with a sigh. “I believe I have a good voice for the ’talkies,’ but I don’t suppose I’ll be able to take advantage of all this priceless publicity,” he said today to the United Press. “If I had got this puff when I was in the movies, I’d have my name in lights all over the country,” he sighed as he gazed at the plaster cast on his leg. Criticises Probe He was hurt in a fall a week before Miss Elfrieda Knaak, 30-year-old book agent, was found burned in the basement of the Lake Bluff police station. Hitchock criticised the handling of the investigation. “The official investigation was a farce,” he said. “Why in heaven’s name did they wait until Miss Knaak was dying before I was allowed to visit her? I might have been able to solve the whole case if they would have let me see her. She would have talked to me sooner than some of the others. “But I’m not finished with the case. As soon as I am able I’ll be out on it, and. believe me. I’ll do everything I can to find out who burned ‘Fritzie.’ ” “Fritzie” was the nickname Hitchcock called Miss Knaak. She called him “Hitchy” and that was the first word she mentiond after being taken to the hospital. She professed a great “spiritual love” for him. but he said he knew nothing of it. “We were just friends.” he said. “She used to come to the station and tell me how well she was getting along with her book selling. “You know I taught her sales psychology,” he said, with a touch of pride. Hitchcock still holds his job as night policeman, but it appeared he will lose it shortly. To Pension Police Chief “I expect they’ll fire me when I go back in two week,” he said. And Hitchcock isn’t the only person in this village who will be affected by the mysterious “fire ordeal.” To Barney Rosenhagen, 60-year-old chief of police, the case probably means retirement on a pension. To Eugene Spaid, the day policeman, it probably means promotion to Rosenhagen’s Job. To Lake Bluff, it means increased business and seeing its name appear in the nation’s headlines for a few days. Rosenhagen professed not to know anything about a move to retire him He said today he was glad the case was over but added, “Something else will turn up.” Spaid predicted today, that there would be an arrest in the case in a week. “I’m out every night on the case and before another week passes there ought to be plenty of popping around here.” , He refused to go into detail concerning his statement.

jAddrese the Lambert Pharmacal Cos., Depl. 5.4, St. Louis, Mo., U. S. A. Countless colds start (hen germs are carried to the mouth on food. By using Listerine on the hands before every meal, you attack such germs and lessen the risk of cold. Remember this, mothers, when handling baby's food.
