SOUTHPORT PASTOR SEEKS POST OF COUNTY SHERIFF
“\TO man is too good for any public office.” This is the political IN credo of Luther E. Markin, pastor of Southport’s Presbyterian Church, who has announced his candidacy for the office of sheriff of
Marion County. He believes that the sheriff’s office offers the greatest opportunity to create publicity and public sentiment for the need of better government. “In my own church I preach to my people and already have awakened them to that need,” Mr. Markin says. “As sheriff, I could reach a great many more.” The minister-candidate is a native Hoosier and a graduate of De Pauw. He came to Southport three years ago from a pastorate in Mishawaka. Asked if he had ever sought public office before, he replied: “No, I haven’t an enemy in the world.” tt tt tt jl|R. MARKIN insists that he is seeking nomination purely as an individual, and promises that he won’t even have “Onward Christian Soldiers” sung at his political rallies. Regarding the church’s place in world affairs, he says: “It is unwise for the church, as a church, to participaate in any political or governmental controversy. But the people who are affiliated with the churches can and should do all they can to improve conditions.” Asa churchman he feels that modern preaching is turning more and more to the two cardinal points in the theology of Jesus: The Love of God and the Golden Rule. “We have stopped defending the Bible and arguing points of theology. Much theological underbrush has been cleared away until we can see that which is important.” WFBM Is to Carry C. M. B. Broadcast Broadcast of the regular Sunday morning service of the Christian Men Builedrs’ Class of Third Christian Church is to be carried by WFBM at 9:30 tomorrow.

Faith Leads Believers in Right Living Christianity Is More Than Practice of Virtue, Says Pastor. BY THE REV. H. M. ZORN Pastor, St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church. What is it that actuates the Christian? We need to have the right conception of a Christian. It is a mistake to merely define a Christian as one who practices virtue. A pagan who practices virtue in an outstanding measure often is called a Christian by people prominent in Christendom, although that pagan himself with better understanding, emphatically denies that he is a Christian. A Christian is properly called a Christian because of his faith in Christ Jesus. By faith, the Christian gratefully and rejoicingly accepts the atonement which Jesus Christ, son of God and son of man, obtained for him when He Fulfilled the law of God in man’s stead and expiated all his guilt. Mercy Brings Rejoicing The Christian rejoices in this wonderful mercy of God which satisfies all the requirements of the law and of righteousness and assures man of the unfailing love of God. Mercy and truth have met in Christ Jesus, love and the inflexible demands of holiness have been reconciled. This possession of faith motivates the Christian in his behavior. He now knows himself entirely to be free from the demands and the threats and the condemnation of the law. He is as free as a slave who has received his liberty. Without any reserve he is the beloved child of God, for Christ’s sake, and is an heir of heaven, even now. This is to him a most wonderful story, ever new. And this wonderful liberation and freedom prompts him to serve God unreservedly, from sheer love and gratitude. He flees everything that would bring him under the curse of the law again. He sees and appreciates that freedom and truth is only with Christ Jesus. Dedicated to God Knowing wherefrom he has been redeemed, and at what a price, he dedicates himself, all his life, his entire body, as a living sacrifice of thanks to God, unto willing, intelligent, loving service, without any presumption of merit, and without reserving to himself any indulgence in what pleases God. This is to the Christian no mere philosophy of life. It is a motivating energy. What enables the Christian to such service is the fact that his faith in a gift of God, wrought in him by that same power that raised Christ from the dead. It constitutes anew birth. It means that in his inmost being, in his heart and mind and will, he has been renewed and has been given a mind that befits a child of God. He is no longer minded as this present world-age is minded. Its mind is essentially godless, materialistic, selfish, self-sufficient. The Christian’s mind is directed toward God, and from God’s word he, with ever new and intelligent study and with ever renewed opposition to his own carnal impulses, grows in knowledge and discernment and directs his actions so that they may be well pleasing to God, wholly and unreservedly in compliance with His good teaching. Roman xii, 1 and 2.

Lewisohn Is to Come Here for Temple Speech Men of Bethel-El Bringing Author and Critic Thursday. Men’s Club of Beth-El Temple Is to have as its January- speaker the distinguished author and critic. Ludwig Lewisohn, who is to talk on "The Future of the American Jew’’ Thursday night in the Temple vestry rooms. After a decade of travel and residence in Europe and the Near East, he returned to America in 1934 to settle permanently. Mr. Lewisohn was bom in Berlin, but came with his parents to America when he was 8 years old, and has lived here since, except for his European tours. Wrote in Paris After several years as teacher and journalist, Mr. Lewisohn went to Paris in 1925, where he began writing novels. With a knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic, he delved into Jewish history and literature. Judaism became for him a release from prejudice and a source of spiritual rebirth, he says. In his widely-read autobiographical novels, “Up Stream” and “Mid Channel,” he relates the agonies of his early years in America. Critics credit him with exerting a strong influence toward better understanding of racial and international problems through “The Case of Mr. Crimp,” “The Island Within,” “The Last Days of Shylock” and “These People,” translated into as many as 15 languages. Asa critic, Mr. Lewisohn is best known for his anthology, “Creative America,” which isolates the true line of descent of the creative spirit in American letters.
