tion problem which has been held responsible for many Sunday school absences. The regular Sunday evening service is to be discontinued and that time is to be turned over to the young people of the church. The pastor under the new schedule will be free to meet with them.

Mid-Week’ Dinner Outlined

Classes for young people are to be organized and an inexpensive dinner. is to be served at the regular mid-week convocation. : The new plan, approved “y the Church Session in June, was designed by a committee consisting of Thomas G.

E, Church, Minneapolis; the Seventh Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, and the Westminster Presbyterian Church, Albany, N. Y.” The First Presbyterian. Church Sunday school was the first organized in Indianapolis. The church was organized in 1823 by Dr. Isaac Coe, whose descendants, Ann, Catherin and Lucia Sickels, are members of the congregation.

New United Brethren Head Cites Need of C of Christian Faith

Service Tomorrow to End End White River Conference Sessions at University Heights.

The Rev. William H. Todd, Terre Haute, newly elected superintendent of the White River, Conference of the United Brethren Church, today in an interview declagha that America has faith in “almost everyiung but

the Lord Jesus Chyist.” The final business session of the five-day conference, attended by approximately 300 members, was to open today with reports by committees on Christian Sabbath, temperance and resolutions. Today's principal address was to be delivered by L. E. York, Indiana Anti-Saloon League superintendent. The final session tomorrow is to be devoted to worship services. All meetings have been held in the University Heights United Brethren Church. r Lack of Faith Seen

Mr. Todd enlarged on his inauguration address by saying “We, the people in America, trust in politiéal parties, industrial systems,

banks, institutions, traditions and |

the insecure instruments of human government. We trust in our gold more than we trust in God, in the dome at Washington rather than the dome in Heaven.

“We trust ih armies,” he said, “in navies, in resources of the United States Treasury, in the advice of the brain trusters rather than the counsel of God’s word, the leadership of His spirit and the ideals and standards of the Founder of our holy ‘Christianity. “It can be said of us, as of decadent nations of the past, ‘They trust

| in horses, chariots and men,’ ” he

Abrarn | declared.

Deplores Want, Fear

Mr. Todd asserted that America would not yet be Christian when it is possible to see throughout the country “millions haunted with the fear of want, hunger and poverty in the midst of plenty.” “We see a system,” he said, “that has fostered a non-Christian economic and industrial order which has placed 20 per cent of our citizens in possession or control of 80 per cent of the national wealth. “America is not yet Christian when we, as a nation, spend more for militarism, national defense and crime than we spend for religion, education and the growth of spiritual ideals. “Three possible dangers hazard American life. The peril of fascist imperialism, the peril of revolutionary atheistic communism and the peril of a non-Christian, pagan democracy made possible through. a decadent church.

New Outlook Needed

“If we are to have a Christian America, we must lay new foundations, we must build new highways, we must turn the streams of American thought into new channels,” he continued. “Certain foundations are just as essential for the moral and spiritual structure of our nation as are the

CAMP SPEAKER

foundations for the towering structures that form the.skylines of our great cities, “We must give to these invisible and intangible realities the same constructive thought in building our national spiritual edifice that craftsmen, architects and workmen give to the construction and building of our material structures,” he concluded.

ERSECUTION of the early Christians that broke out so early in Jerusalem. scattered the converts far and wide in the ancient world, and they spread the Gospel wherever they went, Since

the persecution had come from’

those of their own religious faith and race, these early Christians, appreciating the power of the Gospel to save Gentiles as well as Jews, turned to the Greeks and the Gentiles. Thus the new Christian faith, as it extended geographically, spread also in the range of the people whom it brought under its interest and power. These factors always have been present where there has been genuine Christian experience. When the church ceases to be a mission~ ary church, it ceases to have the true spirit of the Gospel.

» #

O have received the good news of God into one’s heart is inevitably to proclaim that good news, and to realize the power of the Gospel to‘ change human lives and human conditions, regardless of race, color, or situation.

It was under these influences that activity

the center of Christian seemed, for a time at least, to be transferred from Jerusalem to Antioch, about 300 miles north.

Antioch in Syria, one of many

communities named after the fa-

mous conqueror, Antiochus, was located on the river Orontes, about 12

miles from the Mediterranean coast.

As a shipping port on the great lines of trade between East and West, it was a prosperous and magnificent

city. The glory of its streets and build-

ings was in accord with, and in some respects greater than anything in

modern cities. But beneath this outward prosper-

ity and splendor was sa corruption that made the city notorious in the ancient world for vice and degrada- | 55%:

It shows what may be accomplished under the most unfavorable conditions, where men and women are fired with the spirit of Christ and are determined to make His power and His blessings known.

Young People Need Guidance,

Leader Claims

Church Supplies Knowledge Born of Wisdom, B. R.

Jones Says. - i

The following article en “What Has the Church to offer Young People To day?” was written especially for The Indianapolis Times.

BY B. R. JONES General Secretary, Indiana University ¥. M. © A. What has the church to offer young people today? What has the church to offer which young people need, and will accept?

I would answer these questions with one phrase—the guidance of wisdom and conviction. By “the guidance of wisdom and. conviction” I mean the clearlyphrased and boldly-stated truths about how to live, which are the accumulated treasure of the Scriptures and the church. There are some things about human life which are eternally valid, which are affected ‘only superficially by change of scene, which have been tested by the race and marked “true.”

Simple Form Needed

- These things the church can offer - to ‘young people, couched in simple, understandable form, stated not dogmatically, but with an assurance that grows out of knowledge. And, in my opinion, only as they are offered with such conviction will they be useful and acceptable to young people. It is a feeling of such security of direction that young people today need and will accept. That sounds quite old-fashioned, doesn’t it? The idea prevails today that the last thing young people do want is guidance and restraint, and that the last thing they will accept ‘is anything that looks like authority. There is an oft-repeated phrase | that this is a day and this a gen=eration peculiarly given to “applying -the acid test to old religious ideas and to the re-examination and re-evaluation of old concepts in the light of our modern day.”

Doubts Analytical Inquiry

I wish that this -were true on some large scale among youth, but I seriously doubt whether the spirit of calm, analytical inquiry into the validity of religious teaching is the prevailing mood of young people today—or yesterday. On the contrary, I would say that the young people of today are in a less than normally favorable atmosphere for calm, deliberate, medi=tative appraisal of life directions. Most young people would like to discover some guidance toward a happy and satisfying life if lhey could fined it amidst today’s circumstances. But, unfortunately, today’s circumstances do not at all lend themselves to the processes which are necessary for “re-exami-nation and revaluation in the light of our modern day.” * Our American scene envelops young and old alike with a bustling activity composed not only of localized bustle and confusion but compounded with ‘all the noise and strife and activity of the world which pours in upon us in an unending stream through the ear of the radio and the eye of the camera. Amid this scene, young people are likely to read the sign posts of life ‘as they read the sign posts of the highway—rolling along in a crowded and noisy traffic. They don’t want to puzzle out long, involved signs, ending in question marks. They want some simple and straightforward declaration of direction.

- Need Church Message

It may be argued that this should not be so, that time should be found for such meditation and deliberation as will lead through to a reasoned faith. All true! Let - all who will make this quest; but in the welter of today the glaring fact is that many won't, or don'ty or can't. These need to hear the message of the church spoken, not with dogmatism, but with the assurance and conviction that comes from knowledge. Few generations have more need of the guidance of wisdom and few have had less opportunity to achieve it by reflection. Guidance and direction are: not all the church has to offer. youth. ', If offers, as well, co-operation with others who seek to follow the di« rection; and finally, fellowship with the source of it. But only confidence in the ‘validity of the guidance will lead to fellowship with its adherents.
