The Snows of Helicon.' will be published by Harper A- Brothers on Monda> Aug 7. a a a B 5 WALTER l> HICKMAN AGAIN a great mind has diseovered the greatest book ever w ritten The late Albert J Beveridge of Indianapolis wrote "The Bible as Good Reading and it has been given a 1933 edition by Houghton Mifflin Comitany. just published. I'he author made me realize again me great drama, history, beauty of poetry, the rental of the laws of Moses, the •'extraordinary experiences that few people know about'' and hundreds of other things. The point is driven home that. ' the Bible is the most quotable book in all literature." This book may be read for entertainment alone Consider these lines in The Bible as Good Readings' —‘l recommend you to read, just as a matter of entertainment. the whole story of Saul's conversion and. as the renamed Paul, of his travels, adventures and final end " And again, the words of the author And if in the search for good reading’ you want a little very solid very sensible and very beautiful ethics-philosophy that passes that of Emerson, both in its -harm and in its truthfulness <ani. ...at is saving a good dead'—then read the twelfth of Romans." It is this honest, even - dav approach. a most reasonable one. that makes this Beveridge treatis such a gem. And a gem it is One that may be placed in the lap of every man. women and child You approach the Bible as good reading when you go with several business men on a vacation rip in the big woods, far away from cities. These men first resolved that they would take no books or magazines, but they all loaded up with the latest publications. One man took a Bible These men discovered the great beauty of good reading, even of romance and travel ni the Bible. a a a THE author quotes the owner of the Bible with the vacation party as follows: I had read it tthe Bible• over and over again in the church and in my own home, and always with that monotonous nonintelligence, that utter lack of human understanding that makes all men and women of the Bible, as ordinarily interpreted to us. puttylike characters without any human attributes." But that day as a fact has changed Mr Beveridge recognized that fact when he discovered •■poetry adventure, politics, maxims, oratory' all in the Bible Hundreds and hundreds of Bible school teachers and members are today viewing the Bible in that light. Mr Beveridge approached the Old Testament as short stories and he led out with the story of David. He has thus declaration in the second chapter "First of all. the Bible is by far the most admirable compendium of the best short stories to be found in the literature of the world." The author makes this splendid deduction "Big men make big mistakes If they are good men. ihey survive. Peter thrice denied his Lord and lived his cowardice down. ..." Mr. Beveridge approached his continuation of Old Testa lent short stones under the title of "Love. Courtship and Intrigue He points out that in every Bible story there us always something doing " a a a ■UFOD will find in the Bible the I story of a strange courtship by proxy" of Isaac and Rebekah and Isaacs is declared to be "the first gentleman in literature " The author has asked you after reading magazines and new fiction to turn to the Bible for "intellectual refreshment and just as good reading and read Proverbs or Ecclesiastes" This is to be found in the chapter on The Bible and Common Sense I was unusually interested in the chapter on "The Story of Moses as the author has recorded his opinion that the story of Moses "illustrates how Fate plans great men's entrances into the world as carefully as she arranges the whole pattern of their lives " While Mr. Beveridge was living I have heard him say exactly what he has recorded in his conditions in thus book—"I have advised every law student who has ever consulted me to study the laws of Moses before he studies hus Blackstone. and keep on studying the laws of Moses after he has completed his lawcourse " Again I repeat that "The Bible as Good Reading is a gem It sparkles and will always sparkle. And I am glad that it sells for one dollar. ;

Signs of Hitler Anti-Catholic Drive Detected in Munich

The resruon tt the Nun Revolution ir. Bavaria c*ne of Adolph Hitlers earlv political efforts, is described m the following article the fifth of six written for The Times BY MORRIS GILBERT SFA Servlee Writer MUNICH Bavaria. Aug. 4. Adolph Hitler, once the familiar figure of this city, scene of his earlier humiliations and later triumphs, now is beginning to recede into messianic mists. Hitler, it appears to some observers here, is taking on attributes which identify him as a special agent of the Diety. His stage-managed appearances —the Nazis are unrivalled showmen—grow rarer. His utterances assume a pontifical tinge. Hus person begins to be wrapped in the inscrutable. In fact, the celebrated relationship which once existed between Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Almighty apparently is being adopted by the Nazi Fuhrer. a a a BUT. in some quarters in Catholic Munich, there is considerable misgiving. Catholics here have seen the commencement of the nationalization of Protestantism throughout Germany. They seen the Evangelical church.

Golden Dreams of Religious Leaders Are Realized in Growth of City Churches During Depression

Those are the official figures of county Sunday school officers who j give the average attendance, based on the period ending Dec. 31, 1932 as 31.947. This tremendous Sunday school membership is nearly as large as the city of East Chicago which has a population of 54 784 Never before in the history of In- ! dianapohs has so many men. women and children been affiliated directly 1 with the Protestant churches of the j city and county.

Monsignor Joseph Hamill at the offices of the Chancery of the Diocese of Indianapolis. Two bishops and fifty-four priests

administer to this, the largest Catholic membership in history of the city. These parishes have their own schools, with a grade school membership of 6.880 and 1.767 in the six high schools and academies. It is impossible for both Catholic and Protestant officials to estimate the value of the church property where thousands upon thousands worship weekly. County taxing officials estimate the non-taxable church property in Marion county as $7,000,000 out of a total of $50,000,000 of non-taxable property in the county. Leaders in all churches admit that it has b’en a difficult task to overcome the depression of the collection boxes and plates. The "wolf" has been near the collection plates in many churches, but leaders point proudly that th® "wolf" never ate the collection plates. Speaking for the Catholic church, Msgr Hamill states:

Aug 4 —Mahatma M K Gandhi was sentenced to one year's imprisonment today after he had refused a government offer to release him provided he remained in Poona and refrained from indulgence in civil disobedience activities.

Gandhi, in and out of jail for, years as the result of his home rule campaigns, was in prison early in May when he began a twenty-one-dav fast as a gesture in token of the unhappy lot of the millions of Hindu "untouchables.” The government, fearing he might become a martyr if his health suffered while he was in prison, released him. Gandhi stuck out the fast, the latest of a series, and retained his liberty. Several days ago, however, he

Thousands of people are going to church. In these photos the camera catches a panorama of Sunday church life at three sites. Upper—Part of the crowd of hundreds j leaving SS. Peter and Paul cathedral , 1339 Xorth Meridian street, last Sunday after mass.

"The diocess of Indianapolis has weathered the storm and all obligations are up to date. It has been no easy task.” Speaking for the Protestant churches. Dr. Evans of the Church Federation states: ”It was a gradual upturn in church membership. This increase has revealed a striking fact, that it was not met by an increase in church funds "Not that the people did not want to give, but many times it was impossible," Dr. Evans said. Dr Evans states that the prot-

made plans for a march through the country with thirty-two followers, intending to preach individual civil disobedience, that is. disobedience of British laws by individuals rather than by groups. He was arested as he slept a few hours before he was so start Tuesday morning. Officials considered his case and decided to releas® him if he would promise to abandon his activities, but to sentence him formally to jail if he refused.

So. with Nazi troops already as- i signed on Sundays to ' church fatigue" as to any other manouevre, religion is coming under the official blessing of National-Socialism. The numerous Protestant sects are being • gleichgesehaitetor unified. like the state governments, the opposition parties, the press, and business. And an anti-Catholic drive is detected. Priests have been arrested here within the last few days, "for their own safety" after crowds had been incited against them by Nazi orators. They have been accused of political activities. One was charged with having uttered the apparently subversive phrase. "The Cross is greater than the Hooked j Cross." One priest, a Swiss, was beaten badly during th? international convention of Catholic Apprentices here in June. So by the way were numerous apprentices, and the convention was forcibly closed. The circumstances of this affair are as follows. Th® convention. long planned, brought 20, 7000 youths to Munich. The government (hapiayed gTeat uncer-

estant church income is stationary now and has been for some time. That is taken as a splendid omen j for the future by all church leaders who have seen church income fluctuate at times to an alarming degree. It is difficult to obtain records on how the pastors, as well as the congregation, met the critical times in the budget. Church leaders know that many ministers voluntarily took big reductions in salaries, not cnly once but several times. But no minister will boast about his part in fighting the financial depression of the church.

But suddenly, during a large meeting, th? order was issued that no uniforms except those of government organizations were to be permitted in Munich. Th® 20.000 boys, wearing their yellow shirts —uniform of the order—were already in assembly. There was no time to change costume, no way to do it.

Hopes of the kaiser's progeny for a return to the throne are waning. while in Bavaria the ' Keonig und Heimat Bund" is cowed. The time to strike for a king in Bavaria. as in Germany as a whole, seems over. There isn't room for a Hitler and a king together in Germany now Repression of press, business, religious opposition, have apparently had their way in this once intransigent state. The fundamental German yearning to reverse the war-decision, personified by Hitler, coupled with Hitler's power over the "expropriated” classes, seem to have won the community. When Bavarian Nazis ordered a day of mourning for the Versailles treaty, the whole city half-masted its innumerable flags, and 100.000 Munich citizens joined the night demonstration. It was in the spacious Koenigspiatz. The regimented workers began to arrive at 6 o'clock They kept arriving In silent, ordered ranks for two hours or more. Nazi

All unsung heroes who were trying and actually doing their bit to keep the "wolf from the door of the church. And yet. since 1929, every church group in Indianapolis, whether Protestant. Catholic. Jewish and all the others have met in some substantial way the many financial crises of the depression. And today—what? "The church life in Indianapolis is in healthier tone than it has been in the eight years I have been here." That is the verdict of Dr. Evans of the church federation, who has facts and figures to back up his opinions. The Catholic church has more than weathered the storm, increasing its membership as well as its school activities. Why the forward march of anew day and anew deal in Indianapolis churches?

CUBAN STRIKE DEVELOPS AS NEAR REVOLT President Machado Rushes Home From Fishing Trip to Take Charge. BUSINESS IS CRIPPLED Walkout Protests Taxes and Repressive Actions of Government. BY LAWRENCE HAAS United Ptfii m..ft lorreapondrnt HAVANA, Aug. 4.—President Gerard Machado hastened home from a fishing trip today to take charge of a strike situation that became more grave with each new report Business was crippled here and streets were deserted as workers in one line of business after ajiother joined a strike that started as a protest against city taxes, and became one against repressive governmental measures The provinces were assuming a revolutionary aspect Small groceries, cases, bakeries, coal dealers, restaurants and textile workers joined the strike today. Bus drivers, taxicab men, street and interurban car workers, ferry boatmen and launch operators already were affected Railway workers met to discuss adhthence. Police Operate Street Cars Police operated the only street cars running in the capital. So serious was the situation that at a late night meeting of high government and police officials, including the ministers of war and interior, it was decided to give the army control. It was forecast that groceries, cases and restaurants would be ordered to remain open. Reports from Santa Clara. Matanzas. Camaguev, Santiago, Guinea, Melena. Cardenas. Pinar Do) Rio and Aguacate. among other towns, showed some general strikes. Milk, bread and ice deliveries may be affected today. The Reporters’ Association threatened a twenty-four-hour strike unless the chamber of deputies agreed to modify the press law. Newspaper Is Guarded Doing their utmost to prevent outbreaks of disorder, police made more than 10ft precautionary arrests among taxicabmen Thursday night. In all cases, the strikes are accompanied by protests against the trend of governmental activities. Illegal police activities were a particular cause of complaint. The newspaper El Pals was guarded by armed men to prevent the possibility of police faking a demonstration of workers so 'hat they could get into the building and assault members of the editorial staff.
