Noted Church Leaders Here for. Speeches Archbishop of York, Koo and Kagawa Included in Talkers’ List. Indianapolis is host today to 3000 delegates from American colleges to the twelfth quadrennial Student Volunteer Convention, which was to hold its first meeting today in Cadle Tabernacle, and continue through Wednesday. The students have been pouring into the city since Christmas and are filling downtown hotels, while additional hundreds have found lodging with friends or in the homes of local members of their various churches. A distinguished group of foreign missionary and religious leaders and guest speakers is headed by the Archbishop of York; Dr. T. Z. Koo, called “the spiritual prophet of the Christian movement in China"; Toyohiko Kagawa, Japanses poet, author and Christian leader, and Dr. Gofftalo Baez Camargo, secretary of the National Christian Council of Mexico. In the list of American religious educators to address the convention are Prof. Rcinhold Niebuhr of Union Theological Seminary, New York, and Prof. Kenneth Scott Latourette of the department of Missions and Oriental History at Yale. Seminars to Be Held Sessions of the convention are to be held this afternoon and tonight and three times daily beginning tomorrow. The platform addresses are to be of an informal nature and will be devoted to discussions of the problems of the Christian world community, under the guidance of experienced leaders. Special entertainment for the delegates is to include a program of choral works by Bach and Handel, sung by selected college groups under the direction of Russell Ames Cook. A play, “Operation at One,’’ by Maude Taylor Sarvis, for 15 years a missionary in Nanking, is to be presented under the direction of Miss Nancy Longnccker. Supper Meetings Planned In addition, supper meetings are planned for Sunday nights, at which the delegates are to be entertained by their respective churches, and a party is planned for New Year’.; Eve. This year marks the fittieth anniversary of the Student Volunteer Movement, which, in the opinion of the Archbishop of York, “is one of the great world forces for Christian unity." Held in conjunction with the present meeting, the fifth National Conference of Theological Students at Butler University closed at noon today its two-day discussion of “The Church’s Task Today.” Most of the delegates are to remain through Wednesday. Young Cantor Will End Visit Menashela Kaufman, 13-year-old Jewish cantor, is to give a concert tomorrow night to conclude his local appearances at Keneseth Israel Synagog. The young cantor attracted attention almost from infancy by his brilliant voice, and at the age of 6 sang in the choir of Cantor Josef Rosenblatt. Two and a half years ago he was placed under direction of Henry Spector, a pianist who has trained many young singers for the Jewish church. Menashela has conducted services in New York, assisted by a choir, and has appeared in the New England and Southern states. Radio has no appeal for this young man. He does not sing in English, and plans to devote his life to chanting sacred services. “I have a good mother; Professor Spector is an excellent teacher.” Menashela explains. “I owe my success as a cantor to them.” Religious Leader of China Is to Preach Dr. T. Z. Koo, leader of the Christian movement in China and speaker at the Student Volunteer convention meeting here, is to occupy the pulpit at the Third Christian Church tomorrow night. His address, which is to begin at 7, is to follow an informal World Fellowship reception, in charge of the young people of the church.

Dr. Moody claims the distinction of bringing more converts to Christianity than any other living man. Professor to Talk Dr. Samuel W. Zwamer, former missionary to the Moslems, is to j preach at Broadway Methodist J Church tomorrow morning. Dr. i Zwamer has 'pent 40 years in the Orient and is an authority on Moslem problems. He is the author of many books and at present is professor of religion at Princeton University. Missionary to Speak The Rev. L. C. E.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON A Prophetic Vision

Text: Luke 3:35-35, 40. The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance OUR lesson is entitled “A Prophetic Vision,” but it might well have been called "The Devout Soul.” Prophetic visions do not come by chance. The inner light is conditioned by the inner life. Os Simeon the priest it is said, “This man was righteous and devout.” How much that expresses, and what a world this might be if all men were like Simeon! Like all the righteous and devout Israelites of his age, Simeon’s hope was placed upon the coming of the Messiah. He shared the great expectancy of his people, and in some way there had come to him the conviction that before his death he should see the Lord’s coming. an a IT was in this spirit that he was ministering in the temple when Joseph and Mary brought the child Jesus to fulfill the customs of the law. It was in the performance of this ritual that Simeon was blessed with vision and was able to see that the child before him was the fulfilment of the Messianic hope. We have seen how that hope, also, filled the heart of Mary, and of the wonderment that came into her life at the visit of the shepherds. Here again this sense of the destiny of the child that she brought into the world is intensified as she and Joseph hear the words of Simeon. ,

the highest dignitaries of the Anglican Church, and officiate at England’s coronation ceremonies, the former crowning the queen, and the latter the king. Educated at Rugby Archbishop Temple was born in 1881, and was educated at Rugby and Balliol College. Oxford, before his ordination in 1900. He has had a brilliant career as an educator and social worker, as well as a churchman, having held such positions as headmaster of Repton School, president of the Workers’ Educational Association and Honorary Chaplain to the King. He is best known in this country through his books, “Christ in His' Church,” “Thoughts on Some Problems of the Day,” “Christ the Truth” and “Nature, Man and God,” published last year. The archbishop arrived in America Dec. 8, and is to return to England Jan. 10. During his present trip he has preached in New York, Boston and Washington, and is to be heard in Cincinnati and Chicago following his appearances here. Baptist Church Names Delegate Miss Dorisann Johnson has been chosen to represent the First Baptist Church in the fourth annual, Prince of Peace declamation contest to be held here Jan. 10. She is to compete with Harriet Gerdts, Rosemary Newman, Mary Agnes Dunwoody and William Waters for a gold medal and a year’s college scholarship which the International Good Will Committee of the Indianapolis Church Federation is offering to the first place winner. Second place winner is to be given a semester’s tuition at one of the five colleges not chosen by the first prize winner. Third prize is to be $25. Fellowship Group to Observe New Year's The Self-Realization Fellowship is to celebrate New Year’s Day with an open house at 38N. Pennsyl-vania-st. An address by Sri Ranendra Kumar Das, Calcutta, India, is to be a feature of the program.

How Mary.’s heart must have thrilled as she heard Simeon say, “Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel.” But what strange forebodings there must, also, have been in her mother's heart as she heard his further word. “Yea, and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul.” n tt a ■pvO we not have here a sense both of the glory and the tragedy of motherhood? The mother gives to the world the child of her love, but the more completely his life is devoted to others, the less is her sense of her own possession of him. Here the mother is put to the crucial test: Will her delight in her child be the selfish joy that the child is hers and the satisfaction of keeping him to herself; or will it be the larger, richer joy that she has brought into the world a life that is to be a blessing to others? Mac, apparently, faced this test with complete triumph. There must have been at times a sense of sadness and even of loneliness in her heart as she sensed the greatness of this child and the mission to which He was devoted. There must have been at times the longing to keep Him to herself. But Mary’s devotion was of the same quality as Simeon’s. No child could have had a better earthly training. “The grace of God was upon him”—the grace of God that was upon Simeon and that is the* possession of all who are righteous “and, devout.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

'Good Will' Is New Year Hope of Feuerlicht Essence of Old Prayer Still Holds, Declares Noted City Rabbi. BY DR. M. M. FEUERLICHT Rabbi, Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation New Year’s Day 1936 finds us—according to all visible signs—emerging from a prolonged economic fast. To all but the timid and fearful, the days ahead hold every promise of fasting being turned to feasting. But if we are to live not by bread alone, what assurance does the New Year offer that such bread as we have—be it much or little —will be enjoyed to its fullest and finest capacity? Os what avail is the proverbial full-dinner pail if the heart of the eater be empty; and though! our material cup be filled to over- i flowing, can it still be joyful if the soul of the owner be starved? Our late beloved Tom Marshall is still approvingly quoted as having counselled that what the world thday needs is a good 5-cent cigar. Were Mark Twain living to celebrate his centenary with his ad-! miring posterity, he would doubtless say all the world needs just now is a good hearty laugh. Somewhat more solemnly, the ancient Wise Man said: “Two things have I asked of thee: . . . remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me . . .” (Proverbs 30:7). The essence of that prayer still holds. The world’s “needful food” today is Good Will—a distant removal from all the vanity and lies whereby contemporary pseudoprophets would seek to array class against class, race against race, and creed against creed; and Faithfaith in God, faith in humanity, faith in democracy. May the year 1936 prove a blessed cornucopia of such food for each and all of us! Science Lesson Subject Chosen The subject of the lesson-sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, tomorrow is to be “Christian Science.” Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon is the following from the Bible: “If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can not receive, because it •seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye shall know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” (John 14:15-17.) The lesson-sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Truth’s immortal idea is sweeping down the centuries, gathering beneath its wings the sick and sinning . . . The promises will be fulfilled. The time for the reappearing of the divine healing is throughout all time ... In the words of St. John: ‘He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.’ This Comforter I understand to be Divine Science” (p. 55). Church to Note Yule Tomorrow Christmas services at Woodside Methodist Episcopal Church are to be held tomorrow, due to revival services which closed last Sunday. Special music for the morning worship is to be in charge of Bruce Hughes, with Mrs. Nellie Ramsay, organist, and Mrs. Ora Duvall, pianist. • A cantata, “The Christmas Adoration,” by Carrie Adams, is to be presented at 7:30, and is to include the following numbers: Chorus—“ Angels From the Realms of Glory.” Trio—“ Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” Margaret, Helen and Mary Jane Miller. Chorus (tenor solo. Ulrey Blackwood) "While Shepherd.' Watched.” Trio—“ Sing. O Sing This Blessed Morn.” Ann Maloof, soprano: Hazel Murry, contralto; Winston Miller, tenor. Chorus (bass solo, Donald J. Dean. Quartet. Irma Abbott, soprano; Helen Jones, contralto; Max Askin, tenor; Donald J. Dean, bass) Hark the Glad Sdund. Soprano Solo—“ Joy to the World.” Ruth Grossclose. Tenor Solo —“The Shepherd.” Chorus (soprano solo, Ruth Girton) “All Glory Laud and Honor.” Clifford D. Long, director; Harold Holtz, organist; Miss Myrta Tilson, pianist.

RELIGIOUS QUESTION BOX Readers o t 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 Fourth-av, New York City. Name and address must accompany questions so that a personal reply may be sent if necessary.

Q—On what do Catholics base their belief in prayers for the dead and the confession? A—A Catholic authority answers: In both instances the belief of Catholics is based on the Sacrfed Scriptures. Prayer for the dead finds its sanction in the Old Testament: Second Book of the Maccabees, chapter 12, verse 46: “It is, therefore, a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.” “The Catholic teaching on confession is found in the New Testament: “God hath reconciled us to himself through Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. . . . For Christ, therefore, we are as ambassadors; God, as it were, exhorting through us.” 11 Colossians V, 18 and 20. “Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose sins ye shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose sins ye shall retain, they are retained.” John XX, 22 and 23. Q —Where can one obtain an impartial survey of the conflict between church and state in Mexico? A—The American Committee on Religious Rights and Minorities, 20 Fifth-av, New. York City, has

LOOKS TO 1936

nun 'Religion Points Path'—Dr. Grose WILBUR D. GROSE Minister, Fifty-First Street Methodist Episcopal Church Every thoughtful person will seek to evaluate the experiences of the year that is now drawing to a close with the hope that he may be able to achieve a more abundant and useful life in the days to come. He will try to discover the reason for his failures and his successes. And, if he is wise, he will rethink his objectives and ideals in the light of the existing world situation. For the time has passed when any individual can consider his life apart from the whole social framework. No one v/ho has eyes to see and ears to hear can fail to realize the seriousness of the present world crisis. Cynicism, fear and despair hold multitudes in their grip. The vast host of the dispossessed and the jobless are not able to find a place in the scheme of things. Those who do have a regular income are finding it more difficult to make ends meet since living costs are increasing. Needed: More Independence War and rumors of war are keeping the nations in a state of jitters. And the mad race for armaments goes on, adding to the already crushing burden of taxation and bringing the nations nearer and nearer the catastrophe of another world war. What will the New Year require of us if we are to help find a way out of the present confusion and chaos? First, we must learn to cultivate a more independent attitude of mind. In spite of the suffering of the last five years it is amazing how few have learned to think for themselves. A distinguished American philosopher has recently said, “In the end nothing can save human beings the pain of thinking.” When we are willing to suffer the pain of thinking we shall begin to make headway toward the solution of our acute problems. Second, we must rediscover some moral landmarks to guide us. Our generation has sown the wind of moral laxity and we are now reaping the whirlwind. Kidnaping, holdups, excess profits, enactment of state laws legalizing gambling, increase of divorce are all symptoms of our moral breakdown. When we awaken to the fact that fundamental moral principles, such as honesty, purity and justice, can not be violated without dire results, we shall begin to make progress. Work for Changes Third, it is essential that we work for such changes in the social order as will remove the causes of our present ills. The well-being of people, rather than bigger dividends, must become the goal of our economic life. Somehow we must find the way to organize our industrial life around the principle of cooperation instead of competition. But where is one to find the motivation necessary to sustain the idealism and the creative effort which seeks the good of all? It is my deep conviction that religion can and does furnish that driving power. Os course, I do not mean a formal, conventional religion. I do mean the dynamic religion of the Hebrew prophets and of Jesus Christ. With religion of this kind the colossal difficulties of the present j are but challenges to use the best within us for the sake of all. Thus undergirded with a sense of the Divine, who works with us in all that enriches human life, we may enter the New Year determined to make 1936 a year of marked progress toward a more righteous, a more just, and a more brotherly world.

recently published the report of an investigation made into the church-state situation by three distinguished public men: Prof. Philip Marshall Brown, a Protestant; Carl Sherman, a Jew, and William Franklin Sands, a Catholic. Q—Do the Friends (Quakers) have a ministry? A —The Friends have rejected the sacraments. With the exception of one sect a ministry is not employed. This they have done not because they attach no value to ministry or sacrament, but because they believe that the place given to them in the historic churches, Catholic and Protestant alike, has been too restricted. To the Friends every Christian is called to be Christ’s minister and every act done in his name is sacramental, Installation Outlined Recognition is to be given more than 70 officers, teachers and workers of the Englewood Christian Church Bible school in a special installation service tomorrow night.

FACE 1936 SQUARELY, DECLARES DR. WICKS

BY DR. F. S. C. WICKS j Minister. All Sonols Unitarian Church Greetings to the New Year. As we stand poised between the Old and the New Year, we are as the Roman God, Janus, the twofaced God. one face looking backwards, the other forward. As we look backwards, the events of the past year march in procession, some with sad and some with glad faces. Memory identifies the figures in that procession. There are the I somber figures of our failures, our mistakes, our short-comings, perhaps our sins. Fortunate we, if we see as well our successes, our triumphs over dis- I Acuities, our happy hours; the times when we were brave when we might have been cowardly; strong when | we might have been weak, successful in face of great odds.

We must not carry with us to the New Year the memories that sadden or discourage us. We will face them squarely, distill from them the wisdom of experience, and then forget them and follow our hopes. All the good things that came to us we will take with us. We will then turn to the better things for which we hope. We will follow every voice that urges us upward. We wiil have the f lith that the best is yet to be. We will put on a brave front. Though at times the heart will sink, it will rise again. If evil comes we will overcome it v4th good; we will confront hate with love: we will meet our sorrows with a wider sympathy for others in distress; we will meet disappointment with a faith that rekindles hope; that bad habit we will supplant with a good habit. Then, though our New Year may not be a happy one, it will be a Blessed New Year.

Faith in God Needed, Says Father Dugan Light, Love and Trust for Every Man, Declares Chancellor. BY THE REV. HENRY F. DUGAN Chancellor. Diocese of Indianapolis To wish a fellow man the honesty and simplicity of a shepherd’s heart might not be an auspicious wish for the New Year, unless he knew the kind of heart the shepherd possessed. Did he know that the shepherd you had in mind was one of those who lived 2000 years ago. tending the flocks on the hills of Judea, he would better appreciate the meaning of your wish. Furthermore, this man of the hills was among the first to know and realize what wonders had transpired in the “little town of Bethlehem" when a great prophecy was fulfilled. His information was most accurate and definite, for it came to him from a superior intelligence that spoke with authority. “Brightness of God" Thirk darkness covered the coun--1 try where the shepherds kept their vigil fires. An angel of light stood by them, and a brightness that came neither from the stars nor heavenly constellations shone round about them. It was the “brightness of God.’’ and so was both the light and the voice of the heavenly messenger, that for the moment fear seized the hearts of the shepherds. Fear would have prevailed, had not an assuring word brought them to an attentive silence. Motionless while the voice of an angel spoke, these rustic men heard the “good tidings of great joy.” A Savior had been born that very night in the village nearby, the city of David, called Bethlehem. But with what definiteness and precision this event was announced to them: “And this shall be a sign to you: you shall find the Infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger.” The logical place for a manger is in a stable, yet the voice speaks with authority, and there is honest, simple faith in the hearts that are listening. The Story of the Manger So with the conclusion of the midnight song from heaven, “Glorv to God in the Highest and on the earth, peace to men of good will.” the shepherds began their search for this manger. In the city of David there was one stable, wherein was a manger cradling a npwborn Babe. “wrapped in swaddling clothes.” This was the “sign.” whereby they were to recognize the Savior of the world. Now the rustic, be he wanting in many points of culture and finish, is always credited with that allvaluable asset, common sense. These common sense men from the hills left their flocks, their chief possession of worldly wealth, left their vigil fires and with hastening feet went out into the mountain darkness in search of a certain stable. They found it, and more, for when they entered, “they found Mary and Joseph and the Infant lying in a manger.” What simplicity and heart reaching warmth there is in the retelling of this event, which cheers hearts the world over as we keep its anniversary each year. How puzzling and annoying it seems to us when we hear the musings of supposedly “high” and “deep” thinkers and “famed” teachers, who give forth such strange utterances as the “God concept” or a “mythical deity” or a “perfectly evolved human consciousness.” Light, Love and Trust Such teachings lack both depth and height, and too often lead to dizzy and ronfused conclusions in the minds of those who might think on them. Faith in God has been affected too often by the irreligion given out by these skeptics. Loss of faith has too often been followed by a consequent loss of hope and charity. Devoid of charity, man loses reverence for God and respect for his fellow man. Hence we have in modern society the atheist, the materialist and the gangster, Godless men all. Returning to our wish for the New Year, that all men might know and imitate the heart of a shepherd, we are wishing light and love and trust to the heart of every man. The possession of such graces will make it possible for man to believe in God, rather than to give serious ear to misguided and uninformed teachers who propose doctrines that are shallow and comfortless. From God will come other messages through his angels, in the day of another year that will bring “good tidings of great joy”—the wisdom which came to the simple and honest hearts of the shepherds of Judea.
