Radio Classes Organized
Officers first thought of broadcasting as a means of advertising the organization, but many letters soon | convinced them that the programs were more than a means for promoting membership. They discovered that hundreds of shut-ins, invalids, blind and aged people comprised the largest part of _their radio audience. Scores of letteters are received each year from the less fortunate, expressing apj Preciation. There are radio “classes” that assemble each Sunday morning in their respective localities, one of the most active of which is at the Home for Aged Women. Another is

Another class meets at the Odd Fellows Home in Greensburg, and there are several listening groups in the Masonic Home ‘at Franklin. Former class members who live in other parts of the state also keep ‘up their connections through the broadcasts Five young men organized the class 23 years ago, and it has grown until the present active membership is 1500, with an average weekly attendance of more than 700.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson
Jesus in Gethsemane
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance
As we read the New Testament, there are times when, in spite of the lowly ‘and human aspect of His life, Jesus seems far removed from us. Even as we read of His temptations, His strength and power in overcoming them brings as much a sense of our weakness and our possible defeat as of His common nature with us. When we read of His wonderworking power, or meditate upon His words of sublime courage, we feel the smallness and futility.of our lives as compared with His. But as we come with Hin into the garden of Gethsemane and behold His sorrow and listen to His prayer while He comes up to the great testing hour of His life, we know that Jesus is flesh and blood with ourselves.
Disciples Failed Him
It is true that the disciples failed in this last testing hour, and that their Master went through the agonies of Gethsemane alone. But the very failure of His friends and His disciples in the hour of need, and the reality of the tragedy revealed as Jesus prays earnestly cup might pass, brings home to us in & very poignant vay the human agony of the
There is something inspiring and helpful in this record, however, for the experience of Jesus gives us courage to face our frailities and our defects of spirit. If we shrink from the cross that comes to us in daily life, and if we feel condemned because we do not go to it and bear it gladly, is it not comforting to remember that even our Master felt that way, and that we may find strength and courage as He did in prayer and in agony of soul? Even the betrayal of the Master

Suggestions on Good Will
Talk and No Action Kills Movement, He Declares.
+ BY THE REV. EDWARD LODGE CURRAN President, International Catholic Truth 2 Seciety One of the surest ways of killing a movement, when political or social or economic or cultural, is to talk much and do nothing about it. Unless there is less talk and more action, the good will movement is doomed to the same inglorious extinction. The purpose of this article
is to suggest concrete and practical methods which will result in good will, What is good will? This is a very elemental if not an elementary question to be answered. Good will, of course, is not mere sentiment. Feelings may accompany its exercise but feelings are not of its essence. Good will, moreover, is not confined to external deportment. Even a murderer has been known to be polite in the execution of his nefarious project. * Good will is not secured by professional lip service or devotion to humanity. The object of good will is not humanity but the individual human beings of our community, of our nation, of our world—who compose humanity.
Good Will Rests on Reason
Good will is produced in the ine tellect and in the will. It rests upon reason and results in action. Good will recognizes the fact that all men
are sons of God, that they are bound by the same moral law and that God wishes. every one of them to be saved and to participate in a life of glory with Him beyond the grave. Good will, therefore, is the attitude and act of willing or wishing good toward every created human being in the world. How, then, are we to increase the amount of good will within the world? Writing from the standpoint of a Catholic and in behalf of my Catholic brethren I can safely say, without fear of contradiction, that neither the Catholic Church nor the Catholic population in America has ever been guilty of a lack of good will toward those who are not members of our faith, The ill will begotten and propa- - gated by the Native American Party in the 130s, by the Know Nothing: Movement in the 1850s, by the A. P. A’s in the 1890s and by the KuKlux Klan from 1920 to 1928 inclusive, was directed by non-Cath-olics against Catholics and not by Catholics against non-Catholics. Even at present, despite the gathering momentum of the good will movement in Amerioa, there still exist organized elements and expressions of bad will against Catholics and Jews in our country, Some publications with their cone stant and unjustifiable attacks against Catholic personalities and Catholic activities, are prolific sources of bad will.
Good and Bad Will
The individual who is ready and anxious to believe the worst slanders and calumnies about Catholics or Jews, without investigation or explanation, is guilty of bad will. The individual who attends lectures by those who are renegade Catholics and who are employed by certain non-Catholic organizations for the sole purpose of villifying the Catholic Church, does not possess good will. Institutions have a right to be known through the example of their average and their best members and not through the example of their worst. Failure to realize this and to act upon this is one of the greatest sources of bad will throughout the country today. : Good will comes by thinking and not by talking. Good will comes by willing and not by feeling. Let those who have been guilty of bad will in this country and those who are anxious for good will remove the sources of bad will—prejudiced radio programs, prejudiced public speakers, prejudiced publications—and good will in America between Catholic and Protestant and Jew will become a shining and a lasting reality.
Layman to Address Ministers’ Meeting
The season’s final meeting of the Indianapolis Ministers Association is to take place at 10:30 Monday morning in Roberts Park Methodist Church. Principal speaker is fo be J. W. Esterline, president of the EsterlineAngus Co. and an active Christian lay worker. subject is to be “Let Us Distriblite the Opportunities to Profit, Not Destroy the Motives.” A discussion period will follow Mr. Esterline’s address. The Rev. John B. Ferguson, Irvington Presbyterian Church pasior is president of the association, and the Rev. John A, Parr, West Park Christian Church pastor, is secretary.
