Baker, co-chairman of the conference, President Roosevelt wrote: “It is Important at the present lime when so many problems face the nation and the world, that every influence, and particularly spiritual influence, be brought to bear which will mitigate misunderstanding, soften prejudices and cause us to approach our national tasks as members of a great family, for Whom the interest and welfare of each is the interest and welfare of all.” The President’s speech is to be followed by a discussion of "Religious Freedom,” by Michael Francis Doyle, chairman of the Geneva Institute of International Relations, and a founder of the National Conference of Catholic Charities.

'See These Banners Go/ Story of Protestantism in America Frank S. Mead, Author, Takes Nine Leading Churches and Writes of Beliefs, Heroes, Struggles and Contributions Since Year 1579.

BY JAMES THRASHER The story of Protestantism in America, a story that begins on that day in 1579 when Francis Fletcher, chaplain to buccaneeringßir Francis Drake, planted the cross of the Church of England on a California beach—is told by Frank S. Mead in his vivid book, “See Banners Go." Taking nine of the leading Protestant denominations; Protestant Episcopal, Congregational, Reformed. Lutheran, Presbyterian. Baptist, Friends. Methodist and Disciples of Christ, Mr. Mead has written of their beliefs, their heroes, their struggles and theri conribution to American life. And he has written with a genuine and infectious enthusiasm. This is a book for layman and clergyman alike, for the casual, uniformed reader as well as the scholar. Theology and polemics are avoided, and there is not a dull paragraph in the entire -olume. Though much of it is in an easy, almost conversational style, the subjects are treated with reverence, sincerity and broadest sympathy. One must go through several chapters to convince himself that Mr. Mead is not an ardent and devout member of each denomination. t

Lent's Opening Rites Arranged Bethlehem Church to Mark Lent’s Opening. Lent, which begins with Ash Wednesday next week, is to be observed with Wednesday night services at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, the Rev. Allen K. Trout, pastor, has announced. The choir, under the direction of Miss Charlotte Moore, is to sing at each service. Holy communion is to be celebrated on Ash Wednesday and on Holy Thursday night. The themes for the various nights are; “Are You Able to Rid Yourself From Sin?” "Are You Able to Lift Humanity?” “Are You Able to Gain the Secret of Living?” “Are You Able to Denounce God?” “Are You Able to Resist God?” “Are You Able to Neglect God?” The Holy Week subjects are to be “Are You Able to Drift From God?” and “Are You Able to Meet God?” The Good Friday theme is to be “Calvary.” Picture to Be Made While Choir Sings Mrs. Floyd Jones, wife of the Cadle Tabernacle Choir's guest conductor, is to paint a religious picture while the choir furnishes a musical background at the opening of tomorrow night's evangelistic service ! in the tabernacle. The Rev. E. Howard Cadle will preach at both services tomorrow, ; with the morning service being broadcast at 11 by WLW and the i Mutual Broadcasting System.

Strife within and among the sects are passed over rather hurriedly, and emphasis is placed upon spiritual, social and educational contributions. The number of political reforms which germinated in the American Protestant churches were, to this reader at least, amazing. Yet it is a book about men rather than facts; brave men who dared suffering and death to preach and live in the light of their belief. Whether one believes with these men, he scarcely can fail to admire them. “See These Banners Go” Is a plea as well -as a history. “What we call the church Is a snowball, rolling.” says the author. "Sometimes small parts of the snowball have broken off. gone rolling off in independent ways, creating lesser snowballs. otheT separate churches. Yet all the while, the first, main, great ‘snowball.’ the universal Catholic Church, has rolled on. ahead, beyond os, so that we see it but dimly now. as through a glass. It is an Invisible Church and we are praying we may catch up with it again and gather all our scattered little companies and sects together again. The gathering process we call Church Unipg.”

Cities' Growth Is Pointed Out by Butler Aid

Urban Churches Owe Debt to Nation’s Basic Life, Says Professor. BY E. C. CAMERON Assistant Professor of Prartiral Thro!n*T. Butler University, and Chairman of Rural Life Commission of the Indiana State Pastors* Convention This is the first of a series of artirlea by chairmen of the commissions appointed at the recent state pastors* convention to study vital issues confronting Christian people today. Four events serve to fix our attention on the idea which forms the subject of this article. First, we will celebrate Washington’s birthday. Second, urban churches are awakening to the fact that they have grown strong on members received from country churches. Third, interest in co-operatives has caused us to discover that the American farmer, erstwhile rank Individualist, has made a striking success of co-operative ventures. Fourth, continual and increasing unemployment in industry, with little hope for any better labor conditions, calls for an appraisal of some form of land settlement as a means of permanent relief. George Washington was a farmer. The time he spent in public life was gladly ended in every case that he might get back to his beloved fields, orchards, vineyards and animals. Ninety-five per cent of his contemporaries were farmers or small merchants. Started as Farm Government This was the mental environment cut of which the Constitution of our country emerged. The vast corporations and holding companies based on industrial use of electricity, chemistry* and petroleum never entered the minds of the signers of j that document. The new government was a farmer’s government, i But just recently we have been I told that this Constitution does not provide ways by which Congress may assist agriculture. Strange, indeed. when it was written from that very point of view. It will be well for us to ponder the real meaning of Washington's birthday in the light of our present agricultural

problem. The so-called • great churches ol I America are I usually looked up- I on as being in our I cities. Indianap-1 olis has her fair I share of such con- I gregations. How- I ever, the lesser I known fact is that I in practicallyl every case one- I half of the pres- ! ent membership of these city

churches came from country churches. Indianapolis will do weil to remember her debt to rural Indiana. Trend Is From Country Make a list of our honest business men, self-respecting attorneys, unselfish physicians, church workers, ministers and teachers. It will surprise the one who takes things for granted to find that the great bulk of them were reared in the country and were converted in a little rural church. If we want to build a righteous city we should consider ways of strengthening the country church. Few people know that Indianapolis is the center of one of the most successful co-operative efforts in the western world. The Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Association has been able to build a highly important business on the basis of co-operation among farmers. It is one of the few businesses that has grown steadily during the years of depression. While the selfish corporations continue to mulct both producers and consumers, the American farmer is laying the foundation for a co-operative commonwealth in which producer and consumer will exert the dominating influence. Back to the Land Urged So far in this depression we have made very few constructive efforts to relieve unemployment. European | nations turned to the land many ; years ago when faced with the ; same problem. | The land offers an opportunity for our millions of dependent fami- ; lies to support themselves by their I own efforts. Many good people are concerned by what they call "red” tendencies in American life. Landowners have never been subject to radicalism. The Russian kulak is a good example. Why not, then, begin a movement for resettlement of our dispossessed | and unemployed millions on a few ! acres of land, supplemented by part i time unemployment, as a means of ending idleness and at the same ! time saving our democratic instituj tions? Back to the land will be a forward movement for the Ameri ican people. - Butler Teacher to Give Addresses A series of addresses by Dean F. D.
