South Group Yet to Act; Roberts Park Is Assured Of Recognition in State

Unified Organization of | 7,200,000 Members Nears Reality.

FT. WAYNE, Nov. 13 (U. P)—| A unified Methodist church. embracing some 7.200,000 members was one step nearer today following approval by the Methodist Episcopal Board of Bishops here this week of the proposed merger of their church with the two other Methodist churches. With the Methodist Protestant Church already on record favorably, only the Methodist Episcopal | Church South has vet to act. Re- | sults of balloting now taking place will be announced at its general conference next May. Unofficial | count to date indicates that the plan will be accepted by a 10-to-1 | majority Result of Methodist Episcopal balloting, announced by Rev. J. Arters, Bangor, Me., was: Ministers — for, | 10,375; against. 1277. Laymen—for 6844; zpainst, 585. The Bishops. in their annual fall meeting here, also announced plans for a United Methodist Council on| the Future of Faith and Service, | “which will touch off a worid wide | spiritual crusade.”

Council to Meet The council, suggested by Bishop Charles Wesley Flint of Atlanta, will meet in the Stevens Hotel, Chicago, Feb. 3 and 4. More than 4000 leading Methodists will aatend. Notables from all Protestant churches are to| be invited. . | “You can't build the new order | with the old men—men whose | hearts are still worshipping the] idols that are falling all about us,” | said Bishop Edgar Blake of the Detroit area. sounding the keynote of the campaign. Bithop J. Ralph Magee of St.| Paul; reported that from 1923 to 1935, nearly 3000 Sunday Schools were lost. with more than 730,000] scholars dropping from the rolls. A more intelligent approach to | the problem of disseminating Christian education. fitted to- different cultural levels, and a broadening of the scope of lesson ma- | terials were two methods suggested | by the bishops to combat this de- | cline. A program of adult education also was approved.

Take No Stand on War

Without taking a definite stand | on the Chinese-Japanese war, the bishops called upon the nearly five million M. E. Church members to contribute a special fund to the relief of war refugees. Sunday, Dec. 4. was designated as a “China Emergency Sunday,” and collections will be taken that day in almost 25.000 churches. The bishops spent most of their time in executive session, discussing numercus problems, particularly concerning missions, but evenings . were given to addresses, attended by hundreds of persons. Among the speakers were Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, former Depauw University president and now head of the Omaha M. E. area; Bishop Adna W. Leonard of Pittsburgh, and Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, Washington, senior bishop. Marietta, O. was chosen as the site for the spring. meeting next May. Bishop Oxnam sounded a warning to democracy in his address. He decried “mere lip-service to the cause of freedom” and said that positive action was necessary before the masses “turn to the easily rlanned panaceas, telling of the promised land but leading men to the desert. “There is enough engineering and political genius in the United States, coupled with a knowledge of economics, . to create a society grounded on .the principle of equal rights and complete justice for all men,” he said.

Rally Event Is Arranged

The Central Baptist Church and | Bible School. 23d St. and Park Ave, will hold their Rally Day services tomorrow at 9:30 a. m. The church has just acquired the building on 23d St. between Park and Central Aves. formerly owned by the Seventh Day Adventists. Short- talks will be given by the Rev. Clive McGuire, Indianapolis Association of Baptist Churches secretary, and the Rev. W. R. Jewell, Indiana Baptist Convention director of religious education.

Guest Speaker Named for Fete

Three Conferences Pledge Aid in Campaign to Lift Debt.

Recognition of the Roberts Park Church, Vermont and Delaware Sts., as the state church of Indiana Methodism was assured today as the three Methodist Episcopal conferences of the state joined in the drive to free the church of its $100,000 debt. Pledges to the campaign today totaled 47.5 per cent of the quota, the Rev. Edward E. Aldrich, pastor, said. The Indiana Conference, comprising the southern half of the state, meeting at Roberts Park in September, voted to raise a share of the debt equivalent to 50 cents for each member. At the same time, it requested that Roberts Park Church become the conference church and

| site of future conference sessions.

Plans for this program, providing for celebration of Sanctuary Day in each church in the conference, were completed at a committee meeting Nov. 30.

Bishop Supports Move

On the following day, Dr. William C. Hartinger, Indianapolis District superintendent, attending a meeting

| of all Detroit Area district superin-

tendents, asked co-operation of the North and Northwest Indiana Conferences in the drive. Bishop Edgar Blake gave his support. It was adopted unanimously. The three conferences previously had been co-operating in financing the Gobin Memorial Church at Greencastle, where they jointly sponsor DePauw University. A joint commission is studying conference consolidation or unification. The Rev. Mr. Aldrich, Dr. Hart-

| inger and Dr. F. O. Hunt of the

Methodist Board of Home Missions and Church Extension, Philadelphia, met with the ministers of the Bloomington, Evansville and Pastors of the Seymour, New Albany

| and Vincennes districts are to hold | similar meetings next week. Liter-

ature was to be mailed today to all state churches. The Roberts Park Young Peoples’ League last month asked state pastors to inform it of students and young businessmen in Indianapolis without church connections.

Accepts Conference Request

The Roberts Park board has accepted the Indiana Conference request for entertainment next September, conditional upon assistance from other Indianapolis churches in providing lodging for pastors and lay delegates. Roberts Park Church, pioneer Methodist pulpit in Indianapolis, has been served by many outstanding pastors, including the father of Bishop Frances J. McConnell, New York.

16; II Timothy 2:1-4

By W. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance LESSON dealing with the Christian minister has particular need and appropriateness at the present time. The value of such a lesson, however, is for all who will study it and not merely for ministers themselves. In Paul's letter to Timothy, whom he regarded as his son in the faith, and as a man particularly called to the ministry of the Gospel, we have set before us a high ideal for all ministers. He must be, first of all, a man of Godliness. That is, he must strive to have a character like that of the God whom he worships, and an attitude of love and graciousness toward his fellowmen in harmony with the gospel of the love of God. A true minister of Jesus Christ must be an

example to others “in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, and purity.” He must be a reader and a teacher, instructing others that they may also become teachers. He must not look for a life of ease, but must think of himself as a good soidier of Jesus Christ, willing to suffer hardship, and keeping himself clear from entangling alliances that he may be free to serve. ” ” ” BVIOUSLY, the power of such a minister and the effect of his ministry depend upon those who are under his care. People have a right to expect great things of ministers, but only in so far as in their own hearts and lives they approve of the ideal that they set up for the minister. The worth, power, and effectiveness of the Christian minister in his church and community depend more than is commonly recognized upon the attitude of the laymen. There is a story told of a church that had had for many years the ministry of a great and brilliant man. It is said that when the end of this man's ministry came and the responsible laymen of the church were looking for a successor, they said, “We shall not seek a man whose record and attainment are comparable to the great minister who has served us. We shall look, rather, for a young man of devotion and promise, and the church will make him.” The man whom they called became internationally known as a great preacher and leader. It was not quite true that the church made him, for he had the qualifications of greatness in him; but even this man of influence could not have wielded such power in pulpit and pastorate if he had not had the strong support and confidence of the wise laymen of that church. When later in his life this minister went to another distinguished church, his ministry lacked something of the power and effect that it formerly had, because he did rot find the support of laymen of similar vision and devotion,
