Kagawa Tells His Philosophy of Existence Noted Japanese Christian Leader Describes His Outlook on Life. BY TOYOHIKO KAGAWA Distinguished Japanese Christian leader As to,d to William Axiing Tokyo* The big and potent truth in my philosophy is possibility. In this world we experience not only scientific facts but our experience goes out into a world of possibilities.. Os these possibilities there are threo. There is the possibility of restoring past values, the possibility of presenting and enhancing present values, and the possibility of creating new values in the future. The more we develop our conscious life the more deeply will we enter into life's possibilities. However, the more we are absorbed with the physical and the material, the less will we enter into a realization of life's largest possibilities. If we develop our instinctive life we increase our powers of adjustment to environment and situations. Some insects, moved by their instincts, are able to attack their environment. Unless, however, they are fully awake they lack the power of adjusting themselves to this environment. Personality, Consciousness When we come to personality we discover the marvelous attribute of consciousness. The present and the future are harmonized in personal- j Ity. Conscious reality and creative ideal meet in personal consciousness, j This wonderful existence of spirit | or conscious life is the one and only pathway to a recognition of reality of the Cosmos—the aDsolute possibility. These are, however, but other terms for the omnipotent God, who ; makes it possible for conscious per- j sonality to come into being. The more we open our total personalities to God, the more will we come into a realization of life’s richest possibilities. The so-called material world itself is an expression of God-centered ! possibility. It, is an interesting fact that quantum mechanics, with its theory of waves of energy as enumerated by Heisenbery, points to a world of possibilities as against the outgrown theory of casuality. Therefore, the science of facts and the life of faith in no way contradict each other. Possibilities of Tomorrow’ In the material world, with its waves of energy, we are more concerned with facts. But through the so-called material world we have the promise of a world where we are privileged to enter the life of possibilities. For instance, we know nothing about tomorrow. It has not come into reality. Yet we may count on many things tomorrow’. In other words, w r e may believe in the possibilities of tomorrow’. It is an astonishing fact that even in the realm of pain and distress the God of infinite possibilities en- j ables us to adjust these handicaps with the higher plane of possibilities. Thus, psychological possibilities can be so adjusted to physical weaknesses and defects as to win the victory over them. And if w’e fall short in our effort to make this readjustment, then creative consciousness, re-enforced by moral power, can supplement the psychological. Defeat Not Necessary If n man is near-sighted he can avail himself of psychological possibilities and resort to glasses. If his eye-sight grow’s worse he can get his friends to read to him. There i is never any need of going down in defeat. Latent possibilities ever open the way to victory. This marvelous Cosmic conscious love cor antly at work readjusting and re< eming evil in the world is particularly manifested in history through the life and death of Jesus Christ. Indeed, if we possessed such conscious love as characterized Christ this world's pain and distress w’ould fade into insignificance. Then even wrong and evil would be redeemed and moral conditions restored. Through this wonderful manifestation of conscious love in Christ we have the right to believe that the God of absolute possibility is love. Let distressed souls take hope! Life teems with possibilities! My philosophy of love, redemption and creation points to the fact that infinite possibilities lie all around us and ahead. As the Japanese proverb runs. “If one waits there will dawn a better day to sail the seas.” Hymnals Received A dedication service for 200 new hymnals will be included in the regular morning service at St. Paul M. E. Church tomorrow. FRANKLIN WAITS PWA CONTRACT APPROVAL Sewage Construction Tentatively Given Fort Wayne Contractors. Time* Special FRANKLIN, Ind..

Baptist Men to Discuss Ladies The men of the B. Y. P. U., First Baptist Church, have several scores to settle in their meeting tomorrow night. Last week the group chose the subject, “What Is a Christian Gentleman?” for its round-table discussion, led by Brunson Motley. But the ladies had the floor, and the men were forced to listen in silence to a sweeping indictment of masculine shortcomings, such as "two-timing” and compulsory “Dutch treats.” Tomorrow’ night, however, the question before the house will be "What Is a Christian Lady?” and, the gentlemen insist, the ladies must sit and “take it.” Volume on Jews in Vienna Is Outlined Dr. Max Grunwald's “History of the Jews in Vienna” is to be published soon by the Jewish Publication Societv of America. The author is a distinguished Vienna rabbi and w’riter on subjects dealing with German and Austrian Jew’ry.

Church Missions Face Fruitful Future, Rev. Rothenburger Thinks Church missions today are on the threshold of the most fruitful period in their history, in the opinion of the Rev. William F. Rothenburger, pastor of Third Christian Church. In a statement following a meeting of the Board of Trustees. United Christian Missionary Society of which he is chairman, Dr. Rothenburger summarized the accomplishments of the society and missionary work in general during the depression.

"The missionary enterprise which is the heart of the Church has shared the results of change in these recent years with all other non-profit institutions. Lines have been shortened, budgets have been decreased, and the number of workers reduced. “But this enforced change has not been without some visible profit to the enterprise. It has discovered latent powers and resources in unexpected places. Amazing responsibilities are being borne by nationals in many fields and the work has been sustained in a surprising manner. “Just now. there are certain trends of missionary policy which are gradually emerging. Some of them are these; "Intensive rather than extensive lines are being contemplated both at heme and abroad. “Only the most capable and highly trained young people are being sought as leaders in the various fields. “Union efforts are proving to be much more effective in many areas than are denominational programs. Furthermore, they are easily more

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RELIGIOUS QUESTION BOX Readers of this journal are invited to send in questions regarding the Protestant. Catholic and Jewish faiths. Questions will be answered as promptly as possible. They should be addressed to this newpaper or to The National Conference of Jews and Christians. 289 Foerth-av, New York City. Name and address must accompany question! so that personal reply may be sent if necessary.

Q —Do Protestants and Catholics agree on the matter of the relationship between reason and authority? A—Prof. William Adams Brown recently answered this question by saying: Catholics and Protestants agree that it is a chief function of reason (taking reason in its most comprehensive sense for the sum of all those capacities and activities by which man acquires knowledge) to guide man to the acceptance of the proper authority. No Catholic is satisfied that one should jpin the Church on external compulsion, in his case, as in that of the Protestant, inward assent is the goal. So long as conscience interposes its veto, it is man's duty to obey, however misguided may be its voice. This is common Catholic and Protestant doctrine. They differ as to what conscience says and as to the kind of church to which it points. Q—Explain the significance of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. A—Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication, which will be observed for eight days beginning Friday night, Dec. 20, commemorates the valiant deeds of Judah Maccabeus whose name is blazoned on Jewish history as one of the great heroes of human progress. Leader of a band or ardent Jews, he dared oppose the tyranny of a Syrian soverign and thereby restored the Temple of Jerusalem to the worship of God and gave the world an increased appreciation of the principles of religious liberty. Q—About how long after Jesus’ death were the Gospels written? A—The dates can only be approximately given. Prof. A. C. McGiffert writes that the earliest Gospel, according to Mark, “was written evidently after the destruction of Jerusalem, (70 A. D.) but apparently not long after.” Os the Gospel of Luka, he says, “it is safe to conclude that it was written before the close of the first century, very likely a decade or two before,” Os the Gospel of Matthew the same author says that it is based upon an earlier document, the Logia of Matthew, and the Gospel of Mark and is “evidently from the pen of a Christian of the second or third generation.” Os the Gospel* of John he says that it must have been written at least as early as the beginning of the second century or the latter part of the first. Q—Why are Catholic priests forbidden to marry? A—Conway’s “Question Box,” in discussing this matter, states that

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

Significance of The Exile and the Restoration

Golden Text: Psalm ciii, 17. (International Uniform Sunday School Lesson) BY W. E. GILROY\ D. D. Editor of Advance THE 12 lessons of the quarter, dealing with the later prophets and leaders of Judah, have come with particular appropriateness to a nation and a world In the grip of depression. A great, and prosperous city, the scene of unusual splendor attaining its climax in the days of Solomon, had gone down through causes easily traceable to ruin and desolation. The people of that city and the surrounding Kingdom of Judah had been carried in exile to Babylon. Here, when it was too late to save their homeland, the exiles had their hearts turned through great religious teachers to the spiritual values and the social truths that they had refused to recognize or follow in their days of prosperity. a tt OUT of the experiences of exile and suffering come Scriptures of the highest nobility and beauty, though touched with the poignant cry of expiation. We have the inspiring picture of the Suffering Servant, the man of holy purpose bringing salvation through suffering, of the good bearing the burdens of the sinful, and the redemption of men through this experience of purification and devotion. We have a great prophet like Jeremiah sounding in his Lamentations, in the midst of despair, the note of a great optimism of recovery, of God’s willingness to help those who would put their trust in Him and of the sureness of salvation, if men will turn from their sins and will establish truth in individual and social life. Later we have the overthrow of the dynasty of Babylon itself and the coming to power of rulers favorable to the remnant of Israel. and with a vision of recolonizing the fallen Jerusalem and of building it back into prosperity. a a IT is the story of this effort to rebuild that applies so strongly to our own country, seeking to find a way of security and solidity and construction out of the chaos of social debacle. The story is not all one of inspiration. We have prophets such as Eze-

class, Elmer Wilson, chairman. Charles N. Meredith, fund chairman, is to speak in the interest of the fund tomorrow, preceding the class leader, Merle Sidener. The annual class Christmas pageant is to be presented Dec. 22 under direction of Edward Palmer. The class glee club will provide a musical background for the performance.

clerical celibacy is not a precept of the divine or natural law, nor a dogma of the Catholic Church, but an obligatory law of the Western Church, imposed with a view to the dignity and duties of the priesthood. “It enables a Christian to serve God better, and to be ‘holy in body and in spirit’.” It quotes St. Pam as saying: “He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God. But he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the world, how he may please his wife; and he is divided.”

Third Masque to Present Skit For the evening service at Third Christian Church tomorrow, the Third'Masque will present a pageant, "Brothers,” unaer direction of Ernest Davies. Those in the cast are to be Ted Newman, Mira Lemons, Nancy McIntosh, Lester Hart, Frank Lemons, Gertrude Newman, Marjorie Hart, James Brock and Robert Lorton. The organization has been a winner of prizes for one-act religious dramatic productions in Indianapolis during the last 16 years. Lutheran Units Name Officers Tw’o auxiliaries of Bethlehem Lutheran Church held election of officers during the past w’eek. The Brotherhood elected A. M. Fiest, president; Godfrey D. Yaeger, vice president; Charles Stauble, secretary, and Charles Selheimer, treasurer. Chosen to head the Ladies’ Group were Mesdames Allen K. Troutt, president; J. S. Reese, vice president; F. W. Sieck, secretary, and R. H. Smelser, treasurer. During the past year, the men's organization contributed two days’ expenses to the Mulberry Lutheran Home for the Aged, w’hile the ladies turned over nearly S4OO to the church treasurer, to be used against the current budget. Cantata to Be Given The Choir and Quartet of First Baptist Church are to present a cantata, “The Story of Christmas,” at 7:30 tomorrow night.

kiel and Haggai and Zechariah, seeking to fire the people with inspiration and zeal. We have religious leaders such as Ezra, more earnest and devoted than efficient in action, and we have men of action such as Nehemiah, supreme in his unselfishness of purpose and thoroughly efficient in administration and leadership. But we have to face the sad realization that the people themselves failed to make adequate response. When Nehemiah came with his efficient leadership, things were very much at a standstill, despite the high ideals that Ezra and his religious associates were proclaiming. Nehemiah managed to organize the people for both military defense and constructive building. The means and attainments, as well as the ways of failure, are well exemplified in these lessons; but they leave the clear assurance that there can be no true social building not established upon honesty and unselfish devotion to the commonweal.
