S00DWILL INDUSTRIES GIVES MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL HELP TO UNFORTUNATE
Fall Activifias Are Announced
95 New Jobs Created, Wanes of $4000 Paid in ’36 | Directors Say.
BY SAM TYNDALL
Dedicated to rebuilding the lives and fortunes of the needy through brotherly co-operation, the Fletcher Place M. E. Church Goodwill Industries opened the fall program of . its seventh year of operation today. Organized in 1929 in an effort to convert material waste into human ~ well-being, Goodwill Industries now gives steady employment to about . 40 unfortunates. It alsoepartially supports a score of social welfare ‘activities including clinics, kindergarten, library, high school social ~ groups and church schools. . Every year the shop salvages thousands of cast-off materials and

‘needy persons. The Rev. Howard G. Lytle, Universities, ~ dustries at 625 Fletcher-av. ~ He said more than $4000 has been paid in wages, 95 new jobs have been created since Jan. 1, and ‘that 12,600 articles have been sold in the store.
Contributions Sold
= Bags are distributed to. homes, hospitals and woman's clubs, to be filled with cast-off clothing and other articles. The contents are repaired and placed in the shop for sale. Several hundred bags each month are collected in this way. Mr. Lytle said the saturation point for the Indianapolis goodwill unit is estimated at $65,000 annually in sales and $45,000 in wages. There are 98 such’ goodwill enterprises throughout the country,
paying over $2,000,000 annually in
wages.
Mr. Lytle carries on his work
here with the belief that “you can not bring about personal or spir-
~ {tual rehabilitation before you give
a man a self-respecting job.” Sees Self-Respect Restored
“Any method of economic help or assistance which pauperizes will not work,” Mr. Lytle said. “You could pay $2,000,000 in wages and if it doesn’t develop self-respect, you have failed in your purpose to restore the needy, unfortunate, crip- - pled as productive and good citizens in society. He said that a man’s story of his own piety is not enough for him to gain help from the Goodwill Industries. “He must be willing to work for his food and clothes.”
Nursing Course Planned
In addition to activities already undzr way, Mr. Lytle said a home
+ nursing course is to begin in No-
vember. With books salvaged from the collections and those donated, a library of 500 volumes has been established in the community center building. ; A game and social room is to he - opened soon. He also said that Goodwill boys’ and girls’ basketball teams are to be organized next - week. Mr. Lytle concluded his explanation with the suggestion that “perhaps in the Goodwill Industries God is calling the church back to her primary purpose.’

Weekly Sunday School Lesson— Becoming a Christian
Devotional Reading: II Corinthians 1:3-10
BY W. E. GILROY, D. D.
International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 11 HE growth of the Christian Church through persecution and martyrdom could find no more striking, direct, and colorful illustration than in the conversion of the Philippian jailer. Because of the uproar that their unpopular religious teachings had aroused, Paul and Silas were ar-
rested and thrust into prison after
they had had “many stripes laid upon them,” or, as we would say in modern terms, “had been severely flogged.” So intense was the zeal cf the persecutors that they had the jailer make sure the prisoners could not escape. For his own protection as well as for the safe-keeping of his prisoners, the jailer not only thrust them into the inner prison, but made their feet fast in the stocks. Could prisoners in such a
| plight find any occasion for light
or rejoicing? Here, it would seem, was a circumstance that might have daunted the stoutest soul, but Paul and Silas, out of the joy and inspiration of their faith, were praying and singing hymns to God while their fellow prisoners’ listened,
td tJ »
UDDENLY there came a great earthquake, in which the foundations were shaken, the doors opened, and every one's bonds loosed. The jailer, roused from his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, was about to kill himself when Paul cried loudly, “Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.” : It was an amazing scene. Under Paul's example and influence, prisoners with every opportunity for escaping refused to run away. The jailer was so startled that he called for light, and fell down with trembling and fear before Paul and Silas, saying, “What must I do to be saved?” He may have meant only what must he do to save himself from punishment by those in authority over him, or his question may have had a deeper meaning, for he could hardly have been in contact with Paul and Silas without knowing something of the salvation that they proclaimed. His strange experience may have given him a new understanding, and it may have been with sincere meaning and con-

cern for his soul that he inquired
about salvation.
At any rate, Paul interpreted the
question in the larger way. The whole scene was changed. There was no longer need of stocks and bonds and prisons to ‘keep these prisoners. Bringing them into his house, the jailer washed their stripes and set food before them while upon him and all his household was performed the rite of. baptism, the symbol of new life and new joy.
# " #
LL truly vital Christian experience has some such beginning. It is with a new understanding that man discovers his soul's need, the reality of truth that he had not known before, and the power of God's grace giving him new convictions and a new will. This, however, is only a beginning. In the verses of the lesson from the third chapter of Philippians, we have a suggestion of the true nature and goal of the Christian way. It is. the way of that complete consecration and surrender in which the presence and power. of Christ fill the heart, thrusting out ignorance and fear and self-will, and everything that keeps the soul of man in bondage.

The spirit which has created the church is the spirit of life. The church survives 1000 years after another in spite of thie within who prey and those who are unstable. The church survives in those within whom the spirit of life and lifegiving is incarnate. ., Those living ones who are the indestructible church help one another. They help the unstable and wavering. They strive to rescue and they do rescue many of those who have fallen far toward the damnation of becoming beasts of prey. .. What has the church to offer young people today? It may offer a pleasant club to those who want that. But also it invites all who will to become initiates in the So= ciety of the Saviors of Life.
