New United Brethren Head Cites Need of Christian Faith

i ity hese features.) : eri Whi a prosrars Service Tomorrow to 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 declared that America has faith in “almost everything but

the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The final business session of the |

five-day conference, attended by approximately 300 ‘members, was to

| mittees on Christian Sabbath, tern-

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. Large of Faith Seen

Mr. Todd enlarged on his inauguration address by saying “We, the people in America, trust in political parties, industrial systems, banks, institutions, | traditions and the insecure instruments of human government. We trust in our god || more than we trust in God, in the |; dome at Washington rather than the dome in Heaven. “We trust in 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 chariots and men,” ” he declared. Deplores Want, Fear

Mr. Todd asserted that America

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

Dr. Ham recently has condueted several large union val

foundations for the towering struc-.

tures 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 crafts-

men, architects and workmen give to the construction and building of .our material structures,” he concluded.

Weekly Sunday School Lesson

Beginning. of World Missions

Text: Acts 11:19-21; 13:1-12

Saturday, “The Art of Patience.”

BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. “Interpational Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 30 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 thgy 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 missionary 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 the center of Christian activity 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 famous 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 ga prosperous and magnificent city. The glory of its streets and buildings was in accord with, and in some respects greater than anything in modern cities. But beneath this outward prosperity and splendor was a corruption that made the city notorious in the ancient world for vice and degrada-

tion. When Romans wished to de-:

scribe the decay of morals in Rome, they were wont to say that the Orontes had overflown the Tiber.

” ”

T= spectacle of a group of disciples of Jesus settled in this licentious city, which first gave the name *‘Christian” to the group, is surely impressive. Could there have been ‘a more unfavorable environment for the early church? ' Yet, considering the fact that

Christ had come to save the world | vies

from sin and degradation, there could not have been a more ap-

propriate place for the Christian {and

church to take hold and carry on its work. The fact that Christians could live in Antioch, and could make that’ city the center of a. movement of new life, of purity and peace and righteousness, ought to inspire drooping and discouraged Christians of today and bring to us all a sense of privilege and duty. 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.

Leader Claims Church Supplies Knowledge

Born of Wisdom, B. R. Jones Says.

The following article on “What Has the Church to offer Young People Toe day?’ was written especially for The Indianapolis Times. A

BY B. R. JONES General Secretary, Indiana University Xx. M. C. 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 clearly- . phrased and boldly-stated truths about how to live, which arg the accumulated treasure of the Seripfures 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 assuranca that grows out of knowledge. And, in my opinion, only as they are offered with such conviction will they be useful and acceptable tb 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 restrdint, 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 preva! ing ‘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 fo discover some guidance toward a ‘happy ‘and’ satisfying life if they 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 oug long, involved signs, ending in ques- . tion marks. They want some simple and straightforward declaration of directjon.

Need Church. Message

It may be argued that this should not be so, that time should be found for such meditation and *- liberation 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't, or can’t. These need to hear the message of the church spoken, not with dogmatism, but with the assur~ ance and conviction that condes from knowledge. Few generations have more need of the guidance of wisdom and few have had less Oop= poriumivy to achieve it by reflece on Guidance and direction are all the church has to offer a

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,
