Youth Service, Educators Say

Purdue Faculty Members Cite Helps Offered to Students.

(The following articles on ‘‘What Has the Church to Offer Young People Today?’ were written especially for The Indianapolis Times by members of the Purdue University faculty). !

BY DR. H. L. CREEK English Department, Purdue University

What has the church to offer young people today? «= In a sense it has never offered so much. To the church the young man or young woman is a kind of prodigal, a wild and restless son or

| daughter, to be held by all sorts of

inducements—a pleasant social life, amusements, games, opportunities for “aclivities,” training for success in life — so that they may be attached to the church by habit and in time become its ‘loyal supporters. 2 The church also has more solid advantages to offer. It. gives instruection in _government dnd- politics; it tells young people how a follower of Jesus must solve the problems of war, alcohol, social injustice, and personal conduct. In. fact, the church in its gifts has in some ways become a replica. of the “world.” This extension of the appeals of the church has been inevitable and valuable. A changing world demands a church that can adapt itself to changing conditions and can con-

Dr. H. L. Creek

{ tribute something to the solving of

current problems. Yet it may be a consequence of this pseudo-worldli-ness that some of the ‘most sensitive and most intelligent young people are rejeéting: some refusing its gifts as positively hurtful and destructive of individuality, others rejecting them as worthless or as benefits that can be obtained with less tost in other ways. Is there any gift, then, that is peculiar to the church and is of great importance to young persons? I balieve there is. . is a gift which other organizations do. not offer, although it may occa-

sionally come from a book or from .

an individual. “It is not very tangible. Perhaps .one might say it is merely the atmosphere in which one may be developed whatever is at the heart of religion—a faith in one's deepest self, a reliance upom justice as something more than a balancing of interests; a seeking out of moments of. peace and quiet -to hear “the still, small voice.” The .effect of - this atmosphere, when.the young person is subjected to its influence, is in him as an individual, I suspect, rather than as a

member of society, but in the end ‘if the individual finds ‘peace with

himself the problems of society will be nearer wise solution. Young people—the sensitive and intelligent. most of all perhaps— need a social center to support their individuality, their sense of personal integrity. The church may and does furnish this supports It was never needed more than in the chaotic world in which young persons are now growing up.

BY M. L. FISHER Dean of Men, Purdue University The church is offering young people more today than ever before in its history. Until recent years the church gave little attention to young people beyond, in some instances, teaching them the catechism and enrolling them. Today ; young people have the privilege of seeing religion in action and have the opportunity of = participating in that action. Vacation schools, . young people's societies, Scouting, recreation. camps, ath-§ letics under the auspices of the church, library service, student pastor service and programs in the colleges, and many other services are directly or indirectly the outgrowth of the desire of the church to surround iis young people with good influences and have them know that Christianity is a service as well as a philosophy. Perhaps the church has gone too far in practical example and has neglected the spiritual side of religion. However, the older genera-

the annual Sunday school picnic in the grove was the only social diversion of the year, under church sponsorship, and to when there was no Sunday school or young people's orchestra or choir, no lesson quarterlies, no graded lessons, no Sun-

day school papers, and no modern

ideas of religious.education to realize that the church of today is deing a great deal to engage the ‘interest of young people. Is it Succeeding? © Yes.

- JEWISH NEW YEAR SEEN TIME TO NOTE CHRISTIAN FRIENDSHIP

Persecution by Nazis Hits All Faiths, Church Council Aid Says.

BY DR. SAMUEL M'CREA CAVERT

General Seeretary, Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America

The Jewish New Year which will be observed next week offers an occasion, which Christians increasingly welcomg, of expressing their

friendship, respect and good-will. for.

their Jewish -fellow-citizens. + In 1936 there is special reason for

‘| an active manifestation of sympathy

because of the persecution and suffering which so many Jews, partic-

ularly in Germany, are being com-

pelled to undergo. The injustice which is meted out

ito Jews is not really due to any-

thing that the Jews do or fail to do. That injustice is rather the result of . their being a helpless minority

living among a majority which has not yet learned o's tai and just toward a minority ering from

themselves. The Jews are not the only group that has to suffer because mankind has not yet become civilized enough

{to accord decent 4nd brotherly

treatment to a distinctive minority, but for nearly 19 centuries they have furnished the most continuous and widespread illustration of the fact.

Fraternal Relationship

Since in our country Christians constitute the great majority of the population, upon .them rests the responsibility of taking the initiative in establishing the kind of fraternal relationships which are enjoined not merely by our democratic principles but also by the religion we profess. A clearer recognition of our own spiritual ancestry - as Christians would go far toward developing a deeper appreciation of the Jewish people. We need to remember that our Bible is a Jewish book. The teaching that God is the Creator and Ruler of the whole earth, that all men are the children of God, and that one moral law applies to the entire human ‘race is a heritage from the Jews. ' The more we prize these profound spiritual insights,

the more we ought to esteem the

historic group through<which these insights have come to us.

“Christianity Attacked

What has been happening in Germany during tha last two years should be a-vivid lesson to us. At the outset the Nazi attack was directed agdinst the Jews, but it was not long before the logic which was implicit in the Nazi position became evident. Then Christianity as well as Judaism came under criticism, A new religious—or, more accurately, a pseudo-religious—trend has appeared, known as the “Germanic Faith Movement,” which, under the leadership of anti-Semites like Rosenberg and TLudendorf, ‘attacks Christianity also, and would substitute a primitive nature-worship for it. In the place of universal brother-

DR. S. M. CAVERT

hood this new Germanic “religion” asserts a doctrine of narrow racialism which despises Christianity as being of Jewish origin and exalts Teutonic blood as the basis of eivilization. Whereas the Jews were once criticised as the enemies of Christianity, they are now ..condemned for having brought it into the world! Thus the Nazi ideology discloses the fact that an attempt to de-Judaize a nation leads to deChristianizing it also. An unexpected | and unintended result of Nazi thought has been to help us to see. more clearly how indebted we are historically to the Jewish people. For this, even if for nothing else, we can be grateful to the Nazi extremists! We now have a fresh realization that no other people as numerically small as the Jews has been anywhere near so important from an ethical and spiritual standpoint. We are now in a better position to appreciate what the Jews have contributed: to the world through their ancient prophets and also through distinguished leaders in the world of today.

Refugee Care

The Jewish New Year in 1936 affords the further opportunity of sharing with Jewish fellow-citizens the burden of caring for refugees from Germany. Not all of these refugees are Jews; a considerable percentage of them are Christians, forced to leave because they could not conscientiously adopt the Nazi conceptions. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, whose recent death is lamented by all men of religious faith, was a conspicuous example of one who gave himself devotedly to making such restitution as he could for the wrong done to Jews in the past by helping to. make their lot happier today. He had the discernment to see that the danger of anti-Semitism is not limited to Germany. Instead of spending his energy in denouncing the Nazis, he directed it cen tructively to overcoming the tendencies toward ‘anti-Semitism in our-own country. His example calls" for emulation. The~ Jewish New Year is an gppropriate time for concerted action by all Christians to-
