‘CHARACTER’ IS SUPREME NEED, PASTOR STATES

Outlines World Problems at ~ Christian ConvenFee tion,

The supreme need:of the world is “character,” the Rev. William E. Sweeney, Broadway Christian Church pastor, Lexington, Ky., told pastors at the North American Christian convention in Cadle Tabernacle today. “As long as nations treat their solemn obligations as scraps of

paper we have little to except from | palaces than in hovels, more in silk

international treaties,” he added. The Rev. Mr. Sweeney was one of three speakers at this morning's session. The convention is to continue

through Sunday. Outlining the Christian approach to world problems, the Rev. Mr. Sweeney said: “A society is just as good as and no better than the |individuals who compose it. It is folly to talk of the Kingdom of God among men who have not the Kingdom of God within them.”

‘World Rejects Christ’

“Christ is the Prince of Peace, but He cannot bring peace or any other blessing to a world that rejects its King,” he said. “The reaction from bigotry, dogmatism and intolerance has swept us to other extremes. The world is sorely in need of men who possess and are possessed by worthwhile convictions,” he said. The Rev. R. C. Snodgrass, Amarillo, Tex. discussed “Repentance” at the morning sessions. “Repentance comes from the Greek word which means to change the mind,” he said. “The early disciples of Jesus had to change their minds about a good many things. The erroneous idea that Christ's Kingdom must come by force and violence is shared by |all too many today.” Other Speakers Listed

Other speakers this afternoon were to be Dean E. Walker, Butler University college of religion, and the Rev. Paul Henry Packard, Rivine, Ky. In his talk on “The Indcctrination of Our Children,” Dean Walker was to urge that the Church School “be in the hands of those who love the Church and serve God through it. When this is done, an effective barrier will have been built in America against quack social theories such as communism, fascism and the like.” The Rev. Mr. Pdckard, speaking con “The Book Eternal, issued a challenge to pastors and churches "to return to Bible truth and to build the new World « cn foundations given

by Christ rather than on the atheis- |

tic philosophy being taught in many colleges and universities.” The Rev. R. H. Miller, National City Christian Church pastor, Washington, is to speak tonight on “The Faith That Overcomes the World.”

‘Sin in High Places’

The Rev. Charles R. Scoville, evangelist of the Disciples of Christ Church, challenged the clerics in a talk last night to “look for sin in the high places.” “No doubt we still have great statesmen and - some Christian statesmen but we have political leaders who are not fit to be on the scavengers’ committee in Sodom and Gomorrah,” he said.

He praised England for bringing

about the abdication of King Edward VIII when he said, “it was a drastic stand for the English people to take when an American ‘queen’ jumped two men to get in the king row, but they spoke up and their example may well be imitated by other states and other nations.” He said there is more sin in the avenues than in the alleys, more in

than in homespun, . ‘Worship and Work’ “Religion today is going by stand-

-lards that are waning instead of ex-

amples that are compelling. Too many ministers are holding services instead of reaching souls. There must be two wings of a church— worship and work,” he declared. Other speakers at yesterday's meeting, the second of a five-day preaching convention, were: the Rev. W. R. Walker, Columbus, O.; the Rev. Morris B. Book, Orlando, Fla.; the Rev. Laverne Taylor, Springfield, Ill, and the Rev. Stephen J. England, Enid, Okla.

RENEWS CHARGE FLOOD ‘ALARMS HELDUPBY U.S.

Engineer Lays Indescribable Stupidity to Washington In Letter to Boehne.

Times Special WASHINGTON, April 23.—E. E. Brownell, Philadelphia and Dayton engineer, who charged the Weather Bureau at Washington with handicapping McLinn S. Collom, its Evansville operator, from giving out proper “alarmist reports” concern-

ing the flood danger, stuck by his charges today in a letter to Rep. John W. Boehne Jr., Evansville. Mr. Collom dropped dead: during the height of the flood. Mr. Brownell attributed his death to the fact that he worried over having not given out proper warnings. A heart attack was the direct cause and the doctors attributed it to overwork. Charges Denied

Chief W. R. Gregg of the Weather Bureau denied Mr. Brownell's charges when first presented fo him. He repeated his denial recently in a letter to Mr. Boehne. The Brownell letter today was passed along to Mr. Gregg, without comment, by the Congressrnan. Mr. Brownell said that he is now in Dayton and expects to go to Evansville shortly. He long has been a technical adviser to the city water department there, his letter stated. His father built the first part of the water plant at Evahsville more than 60 years ago. : “There is not sufficient words in our English language to condemn, by me, the stupidity of the United | States Weather Bureau in the Janvary, 1937, flood warnings, including several others prior to that date,” the Brownell letter reads in part.

Discussed Flood

“On Wednesday morning, at from 11 to 12, Jan. 20, I called at the late McLijnn S. Collin’s office in the Federal Building at Evansville. He was a personal friend of mine and we discussed at length the Ohio River

our business.

flood situation in a thorough technical manner. : “At that time I told Mack, as I called him, that Evansville would have a maximum flood stage of not less than 52 feet, the greatest in all history. To this statement Mr. Collom agreed with me, but he said Washington would not permit him to make such a damaging statement so far in advance, as the maximum was many days from this date.” He later tried to ocntact Mr. Collom by phone but that was the day he died, Mr. Brownell said.

“My warning, as concurred in by Mr. Collom, was 11.days in advance of the peak of the flood, which was on Jan. 31, and 7 days after Mr. Collom’s untimely death,” the letter continues. “They idid not make them any better than McLinn S. Collom. “A similar condition existed in my . home town of Dayton, O., in the great flood of 1913. The United States eather Bureau then was sound asleep.

“It is mest silly for the United States Weather Bureau to issue warnings so limited in time where danger is so close as in the Ohio River district.

Needs Free Reign

“Each and every local Weather Bureau man, in case of great danger, should be free of all interference from Washington as to giving out his true convictions. That is what he is there for, to serve the public to the best of his technical ability. “In conclusion the whole Ohio
