DICKENS’ ‘LIFE OF OUR LORD’ IS GREAT GIFT TO HUMANITY, DECLARES NOTED EVANGELIST Story Should Be Used to Instruct Children, Dr. Gauthey Believes; Further Praise Given The Times. “Nothing has appeared in the press in the last twentyfive years that will do as much good for humanity as Dickens’ The Life of Our Lord,’ ” the Lev. Adolph P. Gauthey, evangelist at the Cadle tabernacle, said today.

The value of Dickens’ writings lies in his simple faith in Christ, the Rev. Gauthey said. Through the teachings of Christ, as revealed by Dickens, we get to the root of evil and we are shown the way to strike it out of our lives, he asserted. ••Through this series on ‘The Life of Our Lord' it is jiossible for the father and mother to put something In the Ameriean home that has been lost.” the evangelist declared. Masterpiece of Literature The Dickens story should be used to teach children the story of Christ and to acquaint them with His teachings, the Rev. Gauthey believes. One of the reasons for Dickons’ success is the simplicity of his writings. he explained, and this lends much charm to his work. 'lt is generally conceded that Dickens borrowed his style from the New Testament. With the simplicity of style and the simplicity of faith shown in this work, it becomes a masterpiece of literature.” the Rev. Gauthey said. Millions to Read Work • It is the place of a newspaper to bring religious subjects to the attention of the public." he said. "As newspapers are the greatest modern mediums of education, they carry not only a tremendous privilege but also a great burden of responsibility.” The Rev. Gauthey said that "The Life of Our Lord” will be read by millions of readers who would never pick up the New Testament. •Because of this, the newspapers are pierforming a tremendous service to the public in bringing out the story of Christ in this form.” Dickens’ Vision Praised Praise for Charles Dickens as a man was expressed by the evangelist. His writings depicted the terrible social conditions of his day and did much to bring about reforms, he explained. "Dickens had better vision than most of the preachers of his day,” the Rev. Gauthey said. "He struck right at the heart of evil, not at the effect of evil.” The Rev. Gauthey recommended Dickens’ method of showing up sin at its roots as an effective w r ay of curing the ills of humanity. It is impossible to legislate evil out of a man's life, he said. "Through Dickens we locate the prime cause of crime and war," he continued. "It is found in human nature and to get rid of it we must work on man to teach him better ways of living. Through the study of The Life of Our Lord’ we take a great step in this direction.” GROVER VAN DUYN. Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction—"My Dear Mr. Powell: I wish to congratulate you upon bringing the wonderful message of Charles Dickens to the attention of the public. "This story of the most beautiful character of all times told under the fire of inspiration, kindled in the soul of a father and a genius, as he brings the Saviour to his children, should inspire every reader of your great paper to higher ideals.” CONSTANT W. SOUTH. Ministerial Student at Butler University—- " Dear Mr. Powell: lam taking the privilege to offer a few comments on Charles Dickens' The Life of Our Lord.' "This story is a marvelous means of presenting to Christians the principles upon which their religion is founded. It is outstanding for its simplicity, having been prepared for children primarily, which makes it easily read and easily understood. No one can read it w ithout deriving considerable benefit from it. It is a story for the parents as well as the children. Even the most mature minds should bo able to appreciate the few teachings and lessons embodied in the story. "I have noted a few of these lessons as being particularly helpful: 1. "The love and sacrifice of John the Baptist for people less fortunate than himself. 2. ** ‘Never be proud or unkind—to any poor ior miserable* man, woman, or child—and always try to teach and relieve them- -always pity them.’ 3. "Jesus' mercy and tenderness. 4. "Forgiveness of sins: We must always forgive those who have done us any harm.’ 5. " Our Savior loved—all children. Yes. and all the world. No one ever loved all people as well and truly as He did.' 6. "Interpretation of the Parable of the Vineyard: if. due to adverse circumstances, a person is brought up in the way of the wicked, if he repent, even in the eleventh hour. God will forgive him. 7. “’We are never to be proud, or think ourselves very good before God. but are always to be humble. ” iParable of the Wedding Feast'. 8. "Parable of the Great Feast. 9. "Parable of the Prodigal Son: •Those who have done wrong and forgotten God. are always welcome to him, and will always receive His mercy, if they will only return to him in sorrow for the sin of which they have been guilty.’ 10. " ‘Let us not forget what the poor widow did when we think we are charitable. "Finally, in the conclusion of "The Life of Our Lord’ there are some truly wonderful principles which every person should read and remember. I make bold to say that the last two paragraphs contain the whole essence of Christianity in brief. "I have also noted on the manuscript a few biblical errors and idiosyncrasies to which you are welcome if you desire. "Personally. I enjoyed reading “The Life of Our Lord’ and I believe It will be widely read.” THE REV. JOHN A. FARR, West

Park Christian Church—" Dear Mr. Powell: I received the copy of proofs of ‘The Life of Our Lord,’ by Charles Dickens. I greatly appreciate your kindness and thank you for it. I just finished reading the copy and will make brief comment on it. I was first struck by the great emphasis upon the Miracles. It is true that Dickens had not faced the Biblical Criticism of recent years and that miracles strengthened his faith. However, he does give a good deal of space to the Parables which as I think it should be. After all I think he has a well-balanced conception of Jesus Christ. He did the thing that I fear not. enough parents of today are doing. He specifically named Christ and urged his children to accept him and follow' him. Too much of parental admonition today is just to be good without giving the source or standard of that goodness. Disconnected from its real source or a high standard goodness may become one’s own advantage and deteriorate into anything the individual may desire.” THE REV. URBAN L. OGDEN, First Church of Christ, Worcester, Mass.—“ Dear Mr. Powell: The copy of ’The Life of Our which was mailed to me was forwarded to me at Worcester. Mass., where we are now living. Congratulations to The Indianapolis Times as an enterprising newspaper. "What you are doing deserves the support of the entire body of the Indianapolis ministry.”

America Must Choose Low Tariff Prospects Dependent on New Deal Success Will Mean Increase in and Better Distribution of U. S. Purchasing Power.

Thin l the sixteenth and last of a series of articles written for the Foreign Policy Association and the World Peace Foundation. a a a BY HENRY A. WALLACE Secretary of Agriculture CAN AMERICA THINK THE PROBLEM THROUGH? IT is evident that the chief factors in our problems are linked, and can not be separated. First there is the retreat from excessive farm production for export. How far the retreat should go depends, of course, on the state of the demand abroad and at home. The foreign demand will vary with the facilities we afford other nations to send us goods in exchange—that is to say, how much we dare lower tariffs. Plainly, the farm retreat ties up with our tariff policy, which in turn hangs upon the success of the new deal.

Revision of our tariff downward will have far better prospects if our new deal succeeds than if it fails. Success in the new deal will mean an increase in and a better distribution of purchasing power. Manufacturers and wageearners will be no longer in terror for their business or their jobs, and will be quicker to acknowledge the necessity for the country to buy where it expects to sell. If we can set our own chaotic system into better order, there will be not only more willingness, there will be more power to buy abroad. With a margin over necessities, the average citizen will be able to pay for useful and desirable foreign goods. And at the same time he will be able to continue supporting home industry. He will buy more farm goods too. Thus the farm surpluses will come under an attack from three quarters simultaneously—from the farm retreat, from a more enlightened tariff policy, and from an improved purchasing power, which will aid agriculture by increasing domestic consumption directly and also by increasing the ability of our foreign customers to sell goods here. tt tt 3 EARLIER in this series I spoke of the wrench that strict nationalism gives the free spirit, the painful degree of discipline involved. It would be unfair not to point out also, in concluding, that a steadfast national allegiance to any fixed course, international or intermediate, also requires a certain degree of regimented opinion. To lower or to tear down certain tariff walls, and to keep them down, would require on the part of the general public great solidarity of opinion, and great resolution. The degree of education and of propaganda required to make the great body of American consumers, rural and urban, stand firmly together for lower tariffs would have to be rather intense. And yet I do not feel that the public opinion behind such a program would have to be straightjacketed as much as it would have to be under pure nationalism. Y*ou would not have to impose as many unwelcome restraints on as many people. Any information of international attitudes in this country is certain to come under heavy fire from special interests protected by tariffs. But I do not feel that the resultive struggle of wills will do as much violence to our democratic traditions as would a call, sustained by the government, for nationalism, to the hilt. I should like to see the campaign for a middle-ground policy conducted as a campaign of reason, with millions of personal contacts and arguments, man to man. The opposition will be bitter and powerful; but I am convinced that the time has come for the great body of Americans to formulate a longtime trading program for this country which they are willing to stand behind, no matter how plausible the appeals of special pleaders. a tt a WHAT I have tried to show is that there are sound arguments on both sides of this question. The nationalist rests his case on the idea that we can not expect any longer to trade with the world as we used to. He does not expect an adequate natural revival of foreign demand, and believes it would be folly for us to stimulate the demand artificially by loans. The internationalist position, on the other hand, is less pessimistic about natural foreign trade prospects. The internationalist does not regard loans as the only means of developing trade recipects and enlarging them. He holds that there is no possible way of making loans eventually secure unless we become importminded. He would rather trust to tariff concessions and other means of deevloping trade reciprocally. He considers the pains of this course to be less than those of a nationalist program. I lean to the international solution. But it is no open and shut question. It needs study, and above all dispassionate discussion. Unfortunately, those arguments which appeal to fear, to suspicion of neighbor nations, to narrow self-interest, and to ingrained hatred of change are the arguments which will be most loudly invoked. I want to see the whole question examined by our people in anew spirit. THE END HOLDUP SUSPECTS HELD Trio Admits Two Store Robberies, Police Allege.

G. 0. P. EDITOR SCORES 'BIASED' POLITICAL NEWS Arthur K. Remmel Attacks Faction-Dominated Newspapers. Partisan political ballyhoo in newspapeer columns was severely scored yesterday afternoon by Arthur K. Remmel, managing editor of the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel, before the Indiana Republican Editorial Association, in session at the Severin. Mr. Remmel is.' retiring president of the organization. “The newspaper public of today is far more discriminating than in the not far-distant past when slogans and labels passed for sound argumentations.” he said. "Republicans as we are, and proud of it, we must not forget that the public of today will not permit itself to be spoon-fed with either the castor oil of partisan invective or the soothing syrup of partisan hallhood. “It is obvious that a newspaper can not permit itself to become a rubber stamp for either men or party-doctrinal preachments, so long as those men can not stand the test of personal and political character, and those preachments can stand the test of analytical argumentation. ‘‘A newspaper is a paper published periodically, containing the most recent intelligence. Therefore, a newspaper is unworthy of the definition if it permits itself to be nothing more than a propaganda tract or automatically conforming ‘house organ’ for any faction, any element, or any clique. "In every political unit it is important to guard against confusing the party with the machine. The party is something in a sense, impersonal, the embodiment of philosophers applied to issues. But frequently there may be found two or more factions in a given political unit, which, in the last analysis, are primarily ruled by considerations of personal ambition and the promotion of relatively narrow' group interests. “In such a situation, the conscientious newspaper must, with due regard to its function as an agency for public service, ask itself whether it can afford to be subjected to the will or made the instrument of the purposes of a particular faction. “Our oblgation is to our ow'n ideals and our readers, rather than to those w'ho have no longer interest in us, as editors, than to make us their tools and rubber stamps. “It is well to keep in mind as editors that no issue is worth advocating that will not withstand the assault and criticism of the opposition.” Elusive Pig Called “Dillinger” By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., March 10.— After repeated unsuccessful efforts to keep a young pig on his farm in the pen.

out my endorsement and beyond my power to control. I do feel, however, that groups of men have a perfect right to indorse me or anyone for that matter for public office,” he says in his letter to Senator Van Nuys. "Recently,” continues his letter, “Mr. Huxley (A. C. Huxley, supervisor of census of Seventh Indiana district) has taken an attitude that CWA employes do not have the right to join any clubs or to organize in any movement, that has political significance. “We have demanded a hearing to show reason for our discharge, but to date have received no other consideration than a short letter stating that our service were no longer needed after March 5,” the letter continues.
