500 EXPECTED TONIGHT AT YOUNG WOMEN'S FOREIGN MISSIONARY PARLEY

Leading Church Workers Listed for Addresses Mrs. Paul Baker Presides at Conferences Opening This Afternoon. The sixth annual Founder's Day program of the Standard Bearers and Young Women's Foreign Missionary Societies was scheduled to open this afternoon at the Central Avenue M. E. Church, with approximately 500 persons in attendance. Mrs. Paul Baker, district president, is to preside at the sessions this afternoon and tonight, and this afternoon's opening address was to be delivered by the Rev. William H. Lee Spratt, Victoria Memorial Methodist Protestant Church pastor. Born in India, Mr. Spratt was educated in British schools there, and came to America for his theological training. He plans to return to India as a misionary. His address is to be based on a three-months stay in Palestine, and is to include comments on the fulfillment of Bibical prophecy in the Holy Land. Neal Ir‘lands to Speak Tonight’s speakers are to be Mr. and Mrs. Neal D. Ireland, former missionary teachers in South America. Mr. Ireland was for five years managing head of the American College for Boys and the Concepcion College for Girls in Concepcion. Chile. These institutions are private schools maintained by the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Ireland, present business secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in—lndianapolis, is a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, a World War veteran and was formerly engaged in law practice and banking. Our best friends lie to the South, in Mr. Ireland's opinion. South America is a continent of potential good will, he says, rich in trade opportunities and untapped natural resources, and awaiting the coming of men of initiative, energy and re- < sourcefulness. North Americans have an enormous prestige in business and financial circles, but have been handicapped by the provinciality of contact men and the lack of appreciation of opportunities on the part of manufacturers and business men. Learned Much From Chile “I learned four things about business during my five years in Chile,” Mr. Ireland continues. ‘‘l found in many lands, including Latin America, that he who pays the first price asked is considered a ‘sucker.’ He who holds on longest, pretending indifference until he gets his article for half price, is esteemed as a shrewd business man. "Second, that the best business men observe the formalities of the country, while the abruptness and high tension of the ‘between trains salesman' is inevitably offensive to the cultured Latin. "Third, that the man who takes time out for a siesta and an’onces,’ or 4 o'clock cup of tea, probably gets more accomplished than Mr. Grindaway, who keeps his nose in his ledger from eight to five. Finds Tradesmen Are Clever “Fourth, that the mechanics and carpenters and tradesmen of other lands can give us lessons in many things. They can live on what many of us waste. They can fix things which we dub hopeless; they take a wheezy sewing machine or an asthmatic old car and give them years of life.” Sports and music are the open doors to the hearts of Chilean yoqth. The Chilean is born to football, the speaker says, and on every street onp sees scores of lads kicking rag balls with their bare feet. And they have a great appreciation for music—classical, jazz, anything. Mr. Ireland finds the Latin American superior to his countrymen in linguistic abilites, and apprecaton of the arts. ”1 went to teach anew concepton of civil duty, to'bring a religion of the social gospel as contrasting with the faith that lives in cloistered gardens. Yet in the giving. I also was receiving, and in the vast area between the two extremes lam sure I found much truth,” he said. Mrs. Hutchins in Charge As Nina Kanaga, Mrs. Ireland was a well known concert pianist and teacher in Chlie. Before her marriage she was head of the Department of Piano in Concepcion College for five years and her address tonight is to tell of her work during that period. Dr. Charles Drake Skinner, pastor of the Central Avenue Church, is to be in charge of devotions at tonight's meeting and Miss Helen Schuler is to direct a stewardship service. Reports from the three foreign missionaries supported by the Indianapolis district: Miss Zola Payne, Union Christian Hospital, Pyeng Yang, Korea; Miss Cora Fales, Madras. India, and Miss Ada Nelson. Nagpur. India; are to be given by Mrs. C. E. Asbury, Indiana conference secretary. Mrs. F. F. Hutchins is head of the district council in charge of the program and conference. Thirtyseven societies in Indianapolis, Edgewood. Whiteland. Franklin. Beech Grove, Glenns Valley and Acton are to be represented.

GOD NEEDED MORE THAN SCIENCE, CLERGYMAN SAYS

BY E. G. HOMRIGHAUSEN Pastor, Carrollton Avenue Reformed! Chnreh I do not like to use the word “religion.” It means so many things to so many people. Almost every one has a religion of some kind by which he lives and gives meaning to his life. I would rather use the strong term “God." Os what use is God? The other day i neard a man say that science has no power to redeem us. He indicated how science had given us many things, but that it had no power to tell us how to use them. He pointed to the radio, one of the greatest scientific gifts to man. And yet, when the radio gets into the hands of a dictator it is used to mold the minds of millions. Scienee had better not give us too many powers before we develop enough integrity and solid inner control to be able to use these powers for good and not for destruction. In short, we need “religion,” we need God right now, more than we need science! Dr. Will Durant, who has popularized philosophy for us, made some startling statements the other day. In the face of our modern situation, which is desperate, he said many people are turning to easy ways out. The stock we now are producing, he said, is not equipped to handle the titanic problems of this hour. The sources of our leadership are drying up. Our cities are being filled with inferior people. The best elements are not producing children. We are drying up at the top. Moral looseness and scorn for puritan virtues is a sign of inner decay. We have been going along in an epicurean individualism for the last 25 years that will tear society to pieces and destroy all unity. Draws Dark Picture There may be, as Durant hopes, a return to the manners and morals of our grandmothers. Prof. W. Ogburn of the University of Chicago, addressing our Indianapolis teachers a few weeks ago, said practically the same thing. The picture he drew of our future was dark. He offered not a single ray of hope and light. Perhaps his faith was not expressed fully. It is interesting to hear a sociologist say what he said. Why, a few years ago sociology was decrying theology and religion as deterrents to social progress. Sociology seemed to be the new theology. In a few years of social education they would produce a social utopia! Ogburn’s confession of bankruptcy Is significant. Any relief worker could tell the same sjory. We need more than social reconstruction, something much, much deeper. I admit we need social changes. But solid social progress always moves on a moral and spiritual base. We need not more “religions,” or even “religion.” We need God! God gives man a sense of life’s eternal meaning. God gives man an inner responsibility which heals life and society from within. God gives all men a sense of brotherhood and humility in the face of their common sins and their common need of his forgiveness and constant mercy. God dethrones proud men who desire pofcer only for their own ends. God gives hope, and God gives sense to life! God Gives Inner Strength We still may see a lot of things decay all around us. We may not see better things in our age. But only God can give inner strength and health to an uncertain and sick age. He gives men a sense of respect for things high and noble. He gives power of forbearance whereby men get along together, homes remain united in spite of difficulties, parents assume responsibility, through interest and example, for the education of their children in those things which alone can insure the stability and the future welfare of society. Durant says the leaders must do

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 Fourth-ay, New York City. Name and address must accompany questions so that a personal reply may be sent if necessary.

Q—What is the historical basis for the claim that the rulers of Abyssinia are descended from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba? A—Prof. Herbert L. Willett of Chicago answers: The story of the visit of the Queen of Sheba to Jerusalem in the reign of the wise king is told in I Kings, Chapter 10, although with no suggestion of any marriage, or#any less legitimate relationship. The name of the queen is not given. Some scholars have doubted that Ethiopia was ruled by female sovereigns in the tenth century B. C. Hebrews are known to have migrated to Ethiopia in the dispersion following the collapse of Hebrew history in the fifth century B: C., and there may have been legendary embellishments of the Solomon-Sheba narrative out of that fact. According to the tradition which the Abyssinians appear to have developed from Hebrew immigrants, the name of the queen was Makada, and the son born to her was named Ibn-al-Hakim (“son of the sage’’). All that is known is that the late king, Menelik 11, claimed to be descended from a line of kings that sprang from the romantic relations of Solomon and the queen of his country. The most that can be affirmed regarding so legendary a story is that no one can prove that it isn’t true! Q—What is the worship of the people of Ethiopia? A—The worship is much like that of the Coptic churches of Egypt, by which the Ethiopian, or Abyssinian congregations were much influenced. Jewish features and traditions have also found their way into the religious practices of the land. Graven images are forbidden, but saints and angels are revered, although not worshipped. Confession and absolution are part of the system. With the exception that they are monophysites, believers in the single nature of Christ, they resemble the Greek Orthodox Church more than any other body of Christians knovm to the Western world. Q —Do the Jews celebrate Christmas? .j-A-fio. Christas Is, as its na@e

something to turn the tide. It is not so much a doing of something desperate, as it is discerning of the times and a girding of the loins for a long, patient and undramatic settling down to the “better” things. Unless that is done, the Savior's words will resound like thunder, “he that hears and does not shall be like a man who founded his on sand . . . and great was the fall thereof.” What good Is God? He is the only good! It should become a popular thing to think about Him again. He is always the first and the last and the living One. Just because we think otherwise is no reason He is not God! In the light of all this, churches need to give a pure witness to the Living God, without apology or alibi. And people would do well to seek the Lord while he may be found! While God’s justice is severe upon the unheeding, His mercy is always exceedingly great to heal those who know they are desperately sick and set their feet upon the paths that lead to entemal life! “Come unto me ... I will give you refreshment." Anew way through a decaying world will be open to them.
