Block’s to Offer [Look Into Future Of Spring Styles

By ELEANOR JONES

Feminine and flattering—those two words will strike the keynote of the spring fashion forecast in the three style shows to be held next week at Block's.

The first, at 2:30 p. m. Wednesday, will be the annual formal spring fashion show. “Mother, Why Can’t You Be Smart?” is the theme for the second at 2:30 p. m. Friday, sponsored by Block’s and presented by. Good Housekeeping Magazine. The Career Girl show is scheduled for 1:30 p. m. next Saturday as the third event. The whole fashion panorama for spring was demonstrated last night in a fashion clinic conducted for employees by Dora Drews, fashion director at Block’s and formerly with Vogue Magazine.

Fairs Do Their Part

The spring color chart will folldw the dictate of the two world’s fairs. The San Prancisco exposition is contributing many of the desert tones in rust shades, beiges and grays. From the New York Fair come the soft blues, leaf green, rose pink and yellow—all feminine and definitely flattering. : Dame Fashion advocates three silhouettes for spring—the fitted with flared skirt, the slim with fullness in front and the boxy. The silhouettes are dominated: by five influences—the Victorian, marked by elegance such as fichus, doll hats and lots of flowers; the little girl mood, obtained by short swirly skirts, low heels with bows, round collars and bonnets; the American mood, favoring simplicity and freedom; the gypsy and peasant fashion and the casual mood, both of which speak for themselves. The accessory picture—color, and |lots of it—a fashion must, is just {as commanding: Two color accents in accessories are advised—if the costume is a neutral shade, navy, for example; but only one bright note if the ensemble itself is gay.

Everything Classified

Everything seems to be classified this spring—coats fall into varieties including the fitted and flared untrimmed dress coat, box coat, fitted dressy reefer, little girl coat and sports reefer. Suits are classified !jkewise—the volume suit — and here's an example of spring colors— Iris for the three-piece suit, forget-me-not blue in hat and gloves, and fresh -earth for bag and shoes: the tailleur (known to the layman as man-tailored) but with softer details lin lapels and drape, and the dressmaker suit, definitely feminine. Daytime dresses will “let themselves go” both in color and cut. The basque silhouette will be good and the jacket dress is in topnotch form. Lots of cardigans are being shown’ (and we don’t mean sweat-

are good, but like suits, the detail is more feminine with all-around pleated skirts and short cuffed sleeves.

Sheer Wools Are Sheerer

Fabrics will assume a more interesting note in sheer wools which have become much sheerer; striped florals (sounds strange but looks smart), more colorful paisleys, and those old-fashioned materials. . . twill and checked taffeta (shades of our grandmothers). siceve lengths are the below-the-elbow and the just-above-the-elbow. Something new in evening wear is. the street-length dinner dress.

Five to Tell ‘Of Madras Conference

Bring News to City March 19 Of World Christian ‘Gathering.

‘News of “the most representative world gathering of Christians in history” will be brought to Indianapolis .by ‘ the post-Madras speaking team, writes Dr. George W. Buckner

in World Call. : | The team of three men and two will be heard in the First

States and Canada telling about the decennial International Missionary Council meeting held in Madras, India, in December. Indianapolis is one of 48 cities to be visited by a team. ; Dr. Buckner is the editor of World Call, a national Disciples of Christ magazine, published here. The March issue carries editorial corre-

Dr. Buckner although he has not yet returned home from Madras. It also prints extracts from Madras speeches and a background article on India by Dr. Donald McGavran, formerly of Indianapolis.

Bishop Comes From India

The speaking team expected here includes Miss Minnie Soga, a native

among her people; Dr. Rajah B. Manikam, secretary of the National Christian Council of India, Buima and Ceylon; Dr. Hachiro Yuasa, Kyoto Imperial University of Japan professor; Miss Ruth | Seabury of New York, home department secretary of the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions (Congregational), and Methodist Episcopal Bishop Jarrell W. Pickett, Bombay, India. Bishop Pickett collaborated with a native Indian and Dr. McGavran on a book dealing with Indian missions. Bishop Pickett and Dr. McGavran are both spoken of as authorities on the Indian Mass Movement and the untouchables. Dr. McGavran egcorted Dr. Buckner and Dr. Cyrus M. Yocum, United Christian Missionary executive secretary, on a missionary sightseeing tour while they were in India. He is expected to return to Indianapolis in April to visit his parents, the Rev. and Mrs. John G. McGavran for 36 years Disciples of Christ missionaries to India, now retired, and his sister Miss Grace McGavran, writer, who has been editing World Call in Dr. Buckner's absence. Both Dr. McGavran and his wife are Butler graduates.

- , Unity Pleas Heard

The coming of native African, Japanese and Indian leaders to American cities to talk about Christian missions is an illustration of the growing interdependence betweent the present churches and the “younger” ones or those in the foreign mission field emphasized at the Madras meeting, according to World| Call writers. Other points. which they stress are an increased demand for Christian unity voiced by the churches in the mission field and the importance of having native Christians carry on both detailed missionary work and supervision wherever possible. ! Indianapolis people who attended the Madras meeting besides Dr. Buckner and Dr. Yocum were Mrs. Yocum, Dr. Robert M. Hopkins, new United Christian Missionary president, and Mrs. Hopkins. | The post-Madras meeting, here, will be in charge of Dr. H. B. Hostetter, chairman, the Rev. E. L. DayysDr. Ernest N. Evans, Dr. W. C. Hartinger, Dr. T, J. Parsons, the Rev. Virgil A. Sly and Mrs. Imogene Mullins Reddell.

Plans for a “Reverent City on

of Columbus in the War Memorial

By WILLIAM E. Editor of

own day, nearly 20

Even among those who profess in theory to believe in Christianity as a world religion, and in Jesus as a Saviour of all, thers are many who in actual practice seem to think of Christianity as a religion chiefly for white Americans or AngloSaxons. : Yet in the early history of the church itself, this issue was one of the first to be met and to be settled, so far as the records and the attitude of those most truly Christian were concerned. Paul had

converts, who thought of this new religion as for theraselves and not for the Gentiles. Paul was outspoken in his championship of the world-wide Christianity. He asserted most definitely that in Jesus Christ there was neither Jew nor Gentile, barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free; but Christ was all, and in all.

2 88 UT even before Paul had to meet this issue as the first great, world-wide Christian missionary, Peter had to face it in a more limited way. Peter was less prepared to meet it than Paul, because Peter had had no such revolutionary religious experience in his life as had come to Paul. Peter had come into Christian discipleship with little to affect or break his Jewish associations, and he carried over into his Christian discipleship much of his Jewish outlook. It required a vision from the housetop, reminding him that what God had cleansed a man musi not call unclean, to make him see that God’s grace was for all men, regardless of race or color. Even with this vision

new religious books suilable for Lenten reading among the following listed by the Public Library: THE PROBLEM OF FOLLOWING JESUS, by James Gilkey, A personal and definitely analytical reply to the eternal question— “What Think Ye of Christ?”—to which the replies are innumerable.

Dr. Jones, acclaimed one of the great contemporary mystics, reiterates his belief that there is nothing so real and available for everyday life as the experience of God. ST. CATHERINE OFF SIENA, by Johannes Jorgensen. Outstanding life of a vivid personality whose spiritual attainments have held the attention of each generation since she lived. THE ANING OF GOD IN MODERN JEWISH RELIGION, by Mordecai Kaplan. An informative book in which the author discusses the nature of Judaism and the changes which its central ideas are undergding today. THE REDISCOVERY OF MAN, by Henry Link. : Dr. Link, as an apostle of personality, calls upon the Church as the guardian of the individual, to be definite and authoritative as well as liberal.

GILROY, D. D.

Advance

ID Jesus come to the world with a message of salvation for all men, regardless of race, color, or nationality? This is the question that lies back of the question whether Christianity is a world religion. In our years after Jesus came fo this earth, there are still many who would try to limit His salvation and His message.

behind him, he lapsed ‘at times into his former prejudice. Yet Peter had overcome much prejudice within the area of his own Jewish relationships. He was lodging in the home of one Simon, the tanner. Franz Delitzsch, in! his “Jewish Artisan Life in the Time of Christ,” tells us that tanning was one of the trades held. in very low repute among the Jews because of the filth and smells associated with the trade. Peter was not a snob or he would hardly have been stopping at the tanner’s home. But religious prejudices are the hardest to overcome—even harder than social prejudices—and Peter still had a very strong distinction in his mind between Jews and Gentiles, ” » #

was under these circumstances that Cornelius, a Roman centurian who had come under the ministry of the Gospel and who was sent to Joppa in response to a vision, asked Peter to come and instruct him in the truth. Just what reply Peter might have made if it had not been for the vision on the housetop we do not know. But Peter’s vision prepared him for the request that came out of the vision of Cornelius. He perceived clearly that God is no respecter of persons, “but in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to Him.” The rest of the lesson tells of Peter’s intercourse with Cornelius, but here is the great outstanding truth for us in the lesson . . . God is no respecter of persons. : Would God that men might un-

Lenten and Missionary Books Are Suggested

Dr. Ralph L. Holland, Carrollton Avenue Evangelical and Reformed Church pastor, has made the following comments on the two books dealing with “The City,” the topic selected for interdenominational home mission study during the year: CITY SHADOWS, by Dr. Robert W. Searle, Greater New °~ York Church Federation general secretary. ‘ “In this volume Dr. Searle pictures the human side of the city. Each chapter of the fourteen tells a story of actual happenings that are constantly récurring in one form or another in erican cities. In the last two chapters, we are given Some _suggestions as to the functions of the church in dispelling the shadows of the city and helping people to find the sunlight of fuller life. Here one finds a great challenge for the church, and an optimism bused on what the church is now doing, to bring this sunlight into reality. A readable, absorbing, interestingly written book, packed with heart throbs and hope.”

CHURCH, by Dr. Samuel C. Kincheloe, Chicago Theological Seminary associate professor and research and survey director for the @hicago Congregational Union. | “Dr. Kincheloe has the mind of a trained sociologist and the experience of several pastorates as background for writing this important book. Several carefully prepared charts enable the reader to visualize significant ideas quickly. An analysis of the city is made in the early part of the book, and the problems of city people are brought into’ the open. Against this background/the family and its problems are sidered in the light of modern situations. Then follows a section on the city and the church, in which their relationship is capably set forth. One of the best condensations of this relationship in print.” ® ” ” The texts reviewed above by Dr. Holland include very few pictures, therefore, a lavishly illustrated handbook, URBAN SCENE by Margueritte Harmon Bro is suggested as supplementary study material. The book presents picturesque views of the world’s cities from Jerusalem to New York selected for their sociological significance. To these are added charts and graphs bound together with brief meaty sentences.
